FRIDAY, jr.VK is. iro.
IN SPITE OF
7 The horrible weather
prevailing nearly all
this week, many ladies
have braved the ele
ments in order to se-
f cure a fine piano at a
, very low price. In no
J case have they been
. disappointed, but, on
£ the contrary, surprise
[ and delight have been
■ awakened by the sight
f: of so many beautiful
»• pianos at such prices.
Naturally, the very low
est price pianos have
been taken first, and of
the REAL bargains
juiced from $175 to
$250, many remain. One
or two valuable recent
arrivals have been add
ed.
Today and tomorrow
will probably clear all
away. ,
Do not delay on account
of weather.

London, June 15.—The "muck rake'
has reached England and the people
of London are horrified by the report
of a Camberwlll sanitary Inspector
which Indicates that the Chicago pack
ing house horrors are no worse than
[practices engaged in right beta at
home. The Inspector declares that a
Arm engaged In manufacturing tinned
"delicacies" Such as potted chicken
and tongue, had been making It out of
a large quantity of old tinned meat,
which had been wprked over and other
materials added, under circumstances
too loathsome to give In detail.
The Inspector also charged that
large quantities of diseased meat are
brought from the country and sold In
London. He cites Instances of meat
from cows that died from disease Had
ing Its way Into the London butcher
shops. The butchers manage to
slaughter and put on the market the
carcasses of animals affected with
tuberculosis and other diseases. All
sorts of refuse and dirty scraps were
put Into London-made sausage, he de
clares.
The Inspector goes beyond the meat
question and says that recently In a
Jam factory he found 900 pounds of
dried raisins filled with ants and other
Insects, rotten apple pulp, orange peel,
lllthy macaroni and other refuse bought
from grocers, all of which was being
treated and made Into Jam. In another
place the Inspector found a case of 500
spoiled egge intended for use In pastry
and cream. Mtny London confection
ers, he said, Invariably use spoiled eggs
In the making of their delicacies.
CANNON REFUTES
ALL INSINUATE
SPEAKER OF HOUSE MAKES
DRAMATIC SPEECH.
Brands as False Imputation That
He Has Been "Influenced”
on Statehood Question.
By Private Leased Wire.
Washington, June 15.—Incident
the adoption of the conference report
on statehood In the house yesterday,
Speaker Cannon left the chair and
from the floor answered Delegate
Smith, of Arixona, who a ahort time
before had made what was regarded
as Insinuations that undue Influence
had been used to affect the speaker's
position on the question of statehood.
The speaker measured every word he
said, and was frequently Interrupted
by applause from both sides of the
house. At the conclusion of his speech
Democrats ahd Republicans gathered
about the speaker and shook hie hand.
After calling Mr. Dalxell to the chair,
the speaker stepped to' the nearest
aisle and, addressing the chair, asked
for live minutes in which to stats his
position. He aald he had alwaya tried
to represent his constituents and the
people at large to the best of hfs Judg
ment. The coming Into the Union of
Oklahoma and Indian Territory, he
skid, met his approval. He said ha
would prefer to sea each come separ
ately with an aggregate population of
2,500,000, with four senators, than to
tee Arixona and New Mexico come to
getlidr with a population of about 300,
000 with four senators.
Continuing, he said:
^Although every man In the Indian
Territory should vote against state
hood for the now proposed new state
of Oklahoma, notwithstanding that
prplest the state would be and will be
farmed under this enabling act. There
Is h6 separate vote there. There Is a
separate vote, however, as to ths other
two. I would not have taken the floor
had not the honorable- gentleman, the
delegate from Arixona (Mr. Smith)
made the remark that there was a
high penalty for the governor of that
territory to attempt to Influence legis
lation, or for one legislative body or Its
membership to attempt to traffic In
legislation with the other In order to
secure certain other legislation. If I
correctly state him. That remark could
not have had but one. motive and
one meaning, nnd that meaning Is that
some one In the house has sought to
affect legislation In the house aa a
matter of traffic In order to secure ac
tion upon this matter In the senate.
That Imputation Implied, ao far aa I
know or believe upon any other mem
ber of thle house, Is unworthy of the
gentleman that uttered It, and It with■
out foundation In fact."
KING HAAKON'S CORONA TION
TO Bp. SHORN OF DISPLA Y
By RICHARD DABNEY.
Special Cable.
Christiana, June 15.—The coronation
of young King Haakon on Friday next
la the only topic of conversation from
one end of-the country to the other.
During the short time the royal couple
have lived among their subjects they
have wnq their respect and friendship
by their general amiability and demo
cratic manners. The young king has
made himself exceedingly popular by
Issuing an order that any one of his
subjects who wants to converse with
him personally shall be admitted to his
presence without any red tape, and
thousands of Norwegians have already
taken advantage of this rule.
The ceremonial for the coronation
hna caused the minister of cult and
education no little amount of trouble,
no coronation of any Independent Nor
wegian having taken place. It was the
wleh of the king that the ceremony
should be made at elmple as possible
without any unreasonable show or ex
pense, ami this wish has been carried
to such an extent that the coronation
will be less Imposing, for Instsnce, than
the Inauguration of a president of the
United States.
The art of placing the crown upon
the head of the king and queen will
lake place In the old cathedral of
Trondjhell at 11 o'clock In the fore
noon. The king and queen, accompa
nied by the court, foreign representa
tives and ambassadors, will enter the
building through the western entrance
and march by the center aisle. The
archbishop will preaoh a short sermon,
and will anoint and crown the king.
Some arrangements will be made for
a public concert after the coronation.
In tha evening the king will be hoat
at a banquet. On Saturday a great
public concert will be given by the or
chestra of the Norwegian national the
ater and In the afternoon there wlU be
an open air festival. Thera will be
music and barbecue In the open air, In
which the king and queen trill take
part.
A special coronation medal In silver
and bronse has been struck, and many
thousands of them have already been
given away. It Is to be worn In a red
and yellow ribbon, the royal colon.
The king has Invited the mayora and
aldermen of all Norwegian towns to be
present at the coronation, and has also
sent aq Invitation to all Norwegian
ambassadors In European countries.
The diplomatic corps will be pretent In
R leno and all the foreign ambassadors
ave secured some accommodations In

Jetm. All ths courts of Europe will be
