CORONATION
COMMENCES
With Return of the Court to the
City.
MEMORABLE WEEK IN LONDON.
Prince Henry Among Special En
voj'S Who Reached London
Yesterday-
London, June 23.— King Edward
•and Queen Alexandra arrived in
London from Windsor 12:30 p.m.
today. His majesty appeared to
be in his usual good health.
Their majesties reached Buck
ingham palace shortly before 1
o’clock. They recived the same
hearty welcome from the thousand
of people who congregated in the
avenues leading to the royal resi
dence as greeted them throughout
the entire route from the station.
With the return of the court to
London from Windsor the festivi
ties of the coronation may be said
to have commenced, and each day
and until midnight Saturday,
when the last gun of royal salute
will be fired by the fleet at Spit
head, will furnish its quota of the
attractions which promise to make
the week memorable.
From today the special ambass
adors, envoys and princes invited
to join the, festivities become the
guests of the king. Throughout
the day numbers of the royal per
sonages have been arriving from
the continent.
None of the special envoys who
arrived here today, thought tfley
included princes of the greatest
Fiuropean dynasties, aroused as
much interest as did Ras Makomen,
the Abyssinian general and special
reperesentative of King Menelik.
In picturesqueness and barbarian
splendor the Ethiopian commander
and his suite paled even the bril
liancy of the oriental princes whom
London has become accustomed to
during the past.
Among the other arrivals today
were Prince Henry of Prussia, the
Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir
presumptive to the throne of Aus
stria, the prince of the Asturias,
Crown Prince Gustaf of Sweden
and Norway, Admiral Cervais,
head of the French mission, and
Mgr. Merry del Val. the papal
envoy.
The decorations are near com
pletion. and the weather after
weeks of cold and rain has become
stifling hot.
New Light on an Old Subject.
Old Mrs. Hubbard, several years
after the poem appeared in print
describing her fruitless visit to the
cupboard in search of a bone for
her poor dog, was speaking of the
incident to her next-door neighbor,
says the Chicago Tribune.
“In the first place,” she said, ‘‘it
wasn’t worth making a poem about,
and, in the next place, the man
didn’t get it right, I saw the dog
was hungry, and I went to the ice
box and got a nice piece of raw
beef for hini. I don’t feed my dog
bones. And if I did I wouldn’t
keep them in the cupboard. The
cupboard wasn’t bare, either. It
was just as well filled as any
body’s.”
“What do you suppose made the
fellow say you went to the cup
board?” asked the neighbor.
“He couldn't think of any other
rhyme for Hubbard,” replied the
aged dame, lighting her pipe with
a fresh coal of fire.
“These (puff) poets (puff, puff)
make me tired!”

Latest Fashion Notes,
A LIGHT WEIGHT MIDSUMMER
COSTUME.
Among the fabrics of the season
is a sort of zebeline, iron grey in
color with a surface showing white
hairs, whi :h is very similar to the
material greatly liked for cold
weather wear; but of course it is
very light in weight. It is rather
exclusive in effect when made up,
as such materials do not seem to
appeal to persons of common tastes.

The gored skirt is verjj, simple in
outline, close fitting in the upper
portion, flaring below, and finished
on the edge with rows of stitching
done with Co.r.ticelli stitching silk,
a coarse silk generally used by the
best dressmakers for this purpose.
Overlaid upou this were applique
flowers cut frem white broadcloth,
stitched in heavy black silk, which
is also used for the outline stitch
and French Knots which compose
the center and stamens of the flow
er and are worked with Corticelli
embroidery silk. The belted blouse
with basque shows the same flower,
below which the white silk vest is
bordered by scallops outlined by
bias straps of the white cloth.
Mrs- Felton at Senoia-
With her pen and voice Mrs.
Felton is doing some fine work for
education in Georgia. At the
commencement of Brantley Insti
tute, Senoia, last week, she made
an address which is referred to as
follows by the Enterprise-Gazette:
‘‘The event of the week was the
address Tuesday morning by Mrs.
Rebecca A. Felton, of Cartersville.
Avery large and cultured audience
greeted the distinguished Georgia
lady, it being her first visit to this
section of the state. Should she
come this way again she would be
greeted by yet a larger crowd.
Most ably did she discuss the in
teresting subject, “Influences that
Affect Life and Character.” Strong
and wholesome was the advice she
gave to parents as touching their
duty to their, children, even from
earliest existence. She showed too,
how great is the influence of the
teachers over the children commit
ted to their care. Never have we
seen more vividly portrayed the
influence of good books upon the
formation of noble character, than
was done by Mrs. Felton on that
occasion. Taken altogether the
address was one of the most pleas
ing, as well as instructive, ever
delivered before a Senoia audi
ence.”
Marriage in Texas-
The Cartersville friends of the
bride, who is a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. A. K. Forrester, have received

citizens, passed to his final rest,
after an affliction lasting several
years, on last Saturday morning

then has had several additional
minor strokes. His condition
slowly grew worse until other com

death.
Mr. Moon was in his 76th year.
He has long been a citizen of
Cartersville. He came to Georgia,
originally from South Carolina
when but a youth and went first
to Cobb county. This was about
the year ’54. He came from Cobb
to this city, where he has lived
ever since, excepting two years
spent refugeeing and in business
in Rome. He was in the mercan
tile business here from about ’54
to ’64 and since at odd times. Mr.
Moon was a member of the Metho
dist church and he endeavored to
live a life of correctness. Asa
citizen he was useful and as a man
kind hearted, generous and honor
able. He was devoted to his
family, most of whom survive to
be bereft of a husband and father’s
affection and counsel. Besides
his wife, he leaves a number of
children. —Rev. John L. Moon, of

Separating Two Jacks-
A New York city magistrate re
cently had before him the case of
a pair of confidence men accused
of robbing a farmer on a visit to
the metropolis, says the New York
Times. The magistrate asked
them as to their side of the story.
“Well, judge,” explained one,
“we simply offered to bet him SSOO
that we could take a deck of cards,
shuffle them so he could see us,
and make two jacks come out to
gether. He lost. That was all,
judge.”
“What’s your name?” the mag
istrate asked the spokesman.
“ Jack O’Brien, judge.” >
“And yours?”—turning to the
other prisoner,
“Jack Devine, your honor,”
“O’Brien,” said the magistrate,
“I give you four years; Devine, I
give you three years. And now
gentlemen, I’ll just bet SSOO that
you two Jacks do not come out
together.”

THE STATE CONVENTION.
How the Vote is Divided Between
the Counties,
The state convention which
meets in Atlanta July 2d, will be
composed of 350 delegates, the ma
jority rule governs, hence it will
require 176 votes to nominate, The
counties are entitled to representa
tion in the convention on the basis
of two delegates for each represen
tative in the lflwer house of the
general assembly.
At the last session the general
assembly passed an act reappor
tioning the representation in ac
cordance with the federal census of
1900. Under this act seven of the
counties lost one representative
each, and seven gained one each,
leaving the total unaffected. The
counties are divided into three
classes, those of the first class
having three representatives each,
those of the second having two,
and those of the third one. They
will therefore be represented in the
convention by six, four and two
delegates, respectively.
The counties of the first class are
Fulton. Chatham, Floyd, Bibb,
Richmond and Thomas.
The counties of the second class
—twenty-six in number—are
Burke, Muscogee, Decatur, Wash
ington, Carroll, Dooly, Sumter.
Laurens, Gwinnett, Coweta, Cobb,
Jackson, Troup, Merriwether,
Houston, Bullock, Emannel, De-
Kalb, Walton, Wilkes, Bartow,
Hall, Monroe, Tatnall and Elbert.
The counties of the third class —
105 in number all of those
not enumerated in the above lists.
They will have 210 votes in the
convention to 140 to the most pop
lous counties.
Those Little Stories
“ There are two kinds of Indian
agents,” said Senator Bailey of
Texas, according to the Washing
ton Post. “Some are good and
some are smart. The trouble is
that those who are good are not
smart, and those who are smart are
not good.”
Up in Representative
field’s district lives a lawyer w'ho
gets most of his law out of books,
and doesn’t know anything else,
Ope day a man entered the attor
ney’s office and wanted him to
decide a question concerning the
ownership of a calf.
The book lawyer reached down
several volumes, and . studiously
searched the index. He couldn’t
find the word “calf” anywhere.
“There is no law' on calves,” was
his wise decision, and so he did
not settle the question.
Down in Virginia, according to
Representative Swanson, they haye
a “razorback” hog that is very lean
and runs like a greyhound at. a
county fair. An enterprising Penn
sylvanian exhibited some fine, fat,
sleek Berkshire hogs, thereby excit
ing the curiosity of a Virginia
mountaineer.
“What kind of hogs are those?”
he asked,
“Berkshire,” was the reply.
“Well, stranger.” said the moun
taineer, “those kind may be fine
hogs, but they’re no good down in
this country. A hog that can’t
run faster than a nigger ain,t worth
a d—ll.”

CARRIE GARNER JONES.
In selecting a garden party as her
form of entertaining the Cherokee
and Musio Clubs, on Friday afternoon,
Mrs. H. E. Cary was more than happy,
The Cary home is an ideal spot for
the gathering of friends, be it within
or without doors.
Green and white streamers —the
colors of the club—were gaily fes
tooned on the veranda. The tall
shady trees, older than Cartersville
herself, a lawn spacious and smooth
where garden chairs, settees and rugs
were drawn, snowy tables brightened
by flowers of brilliant hue —this was
the animated scene at this garden
gathering. To this the hostess and
her guests Of honor, Miss Marian
Smith, the incoming president of the
Cherokee Club, and Mrs. A.O. Gran
ger, president of the State Federa
tion, added an ideal welcome. Mrs.
Cary’s gown was a very handsome
cream silk tissue and with it a Flora
dora sash of black chiffon.
Mrs. Granger wore a becoming cos
tume of blue’and white foulard.
Miss Smith wore a beautiful white
point de esprit gown, with chou and
sash of green ribbon.
Anticipating the pleasure which
awaited them, the arrivals were
prompt, and soon after six o’clock
the law n filled with nearly a hundred
of Cartersville’s brightest women.
The household economic and enter
tainment committee of the club which
is composed of Mrs. Fite, M rs. Charles
Patterson, Mys. Jones, G. H, Gilreath,
Mrs. Horry Bradley and Mrs. L.
Womelsdorf, assisted Mrs. Cary in
receiving and were scattered over the
lawn to Introduce and entertain.
During the afternoon the Music
Club sang a chorus from the veran
da and while refreshments were
being served consisting of delicious
pistaschio ice cream, champagne
wafers and angels food; cards tied
with green ribbons w ere distributed
on which were printed the toasts and
the names of those who were to re
spond. As the shadows gathered be
tween twilight and dark,all gathered
around the punch bowl where Mrs.
Felton Jones presided as toast mis
tress, and all drank to the fallowing
toasts: “The Incoming President of
the Cherokee Club,” to which Miss
Marian Smith responded; “Our State
President,” responded by Mrs. A. O.
Granger; “Our Guest,” response by
Miss Sally May Akin; and “Our Re
tiring President;” response by Mrs.
Cary. All these ladies made bright,
interesting talks and gained quite a
reputation for themselves as after
dinner speakers. Then Mrs. Postell
proposed the health of Mrs. Cary
w hich every one d*ank with enthu
siam after which Mrs. Posted made a
touching little talk expressing the
regret that every one is feeling, over
the fact that Mrs. Cary is to leave
our midst in September to make At
lanta her home. Indeed it is a lamen
table fact that we are to lose this
estimable woman who has proven
such an important factor in the social,
religious and club life of our town;
and at tiiis charming affair given by
her, beneath all the provision for the
pleasure of guests and the apprecia
tion for that pleasure, lay this strong
undercurrent of loyalty and friend
ship for the hostess who has so much
endeared herself to these friends.
Those divine (.no other word can
adequately express them) nights re

and Katherine, as to whether the
moon is the sun or the sun is the
moon. Verily, night lias been turned
to day and the river road has every
evening been dotted with vehicles.
Miss Nellie Belle Shropshire, of
Atlanta, is a pretty visitor in the city,
the guest of Miss Evelyn Jones. Miss
Jones entertained in her honor on
Monday evening with a moonlight
picnic up the river road.
Isn’t it time for the men to keep

being an unusually popular visitor in
our city for three weeks. Miss Purse
has made hosts of friends here by her
sweetness of disposition and charm
of manner.

The “A. M. 2 C.” Quartette had
best look to their laurels for there is
a recent organization of four ladies of
the Music Club into what might be
called the “J. M. 2 C.” quartette in
asmuch as it is composed of Mrs.
Felton Jones, Misses Munford,Estelle
Calhoun and Kate Crouch, and they
are to sing at the next musicale.
It is feared however that the “J”
will stand for Jonah in this instance.
We wonder how long it will be be

“Imperial Edward.” A copy in a

presented last week to His Majesty
by the composer.

A handsome and popular guest in
the city is Miss Caroline Shehan, of

When to Marry.
At what age should a man mar
ry? The author of that cleyer
book, ‘‘How to be Happy, Though
Married,” was asked this question
the other day, and replied that it
all depends upou the man, says
the Philadelphia Times. “Some
men are more fitted for matrimony
at 25 than others are at 35, if mar
riage, however, be postponed after
this last fi iure a man is likely to
get into what may be called the
habit of celibacy, from which, as
from other bad habits, it is hard to
break away. In this habit of ce
libitv be will continue until he is
about 60 years of fege, when a
great desiie will come over him to
try what matrimony is like just be
fore he dies, and he will propose
right and left to everything in pet
ticoats, until he is at last picked
up. not for himself, but for his
money or for his position, or be
cause some one is tired of being
called ‘Miss’ and wants the novel
sensation of writing ‘Mrs.’ before
her name.
“An old man told a friend that
he wanted to marry before he died,
if only to have some one to close
his eyes. 'Perhaps,’ suggested the
friend, ‘you will eet some one who
will open them.’ ”
