lows:
“At the solicitation of a friend I used
your Peruna and can cheerfully recom
mend your remedy to anyone suffering
with catarrh or who needs a good
tonic.’’—T. Y. FITZPATRICK.
Pe-ru-na is a natural and efficient
nerve tonic. It strengthens and re
stores the activity of every nerve in
the body.
Through the use of Pe-.ru-na the
weakenedor overworked nerves resume
their natural strength and the blood
vessels begin at once to regulate the
flow of blood according to nature’s
laws. Congestions immediately disap
pear.
All phases of catarrh, acute or
chronic, are promptly and permanent
ly cured. It is through its operation
upon the nervous system that Pe-ru-na
has attained such a world-wide reputa
tion as a sure and reliable remedy for
all phases of catarrh wherever located.
If you do not derive prompt and sat
isfactory results from the use of Pe
ruua, write at once to Dr Hartman,
giving a full statement of your case
and he will be pleased to give you his
valuable advice free.

Apropos of the CORONATION
Something About the Great Ceremonial
Event That Is to Occur In London on
Thursday, June 26.
As the day for the crowning of
King Edward VII. and his consort,
Queen Alexandra, draws near, inter
est in the elaborate ceremonies that
is to make of it one of the gorgeous
show feature of the century in
creases. This interest attaches to
everything connected with the event;
it attaches to historic old Westmins
ter Abbey, to the coronation, chairs,
to the people who will manage the
great show, and to the crowns and
robes. For that reason we give be
low a description of these things.
WESTMINSTER ABBEY.
Some Wonders of the Structure
Where Crowning Will Take Place.
The coronation will occur in Westminster
abbey in about the only open chapel in that
wonderful structure. This chapel is raised
about tive feet from the surrounding floor of
the abbey, and is at least 50 feet square. It is
approached by five stone steps running the
full length of the chapel. A railing of a
half dozen long, rounded wooden bars and
about four feet in height prevents entrance
except through low wooden double gates.
At the back is a long altar. An immense
antique valuable rug covers the altar steps.
Another rug, smaller, yet a very large one
at that, is laid just inside the entrance. On
this will be placed the coronation chairs in
which the king and queen will be seated.
To one side are stalls, the same, with cush- .
ioned benches much after the style of cozy j
corners, lining the side of the chapel. From
all sides on the floor of the abbey in that
section of the building, save from the back, [
where is the altar, it would be possible to
obtain an almost unobstructed view of the
coronation ceremonies. The railing at the i
back of the altar separates this chapel from ;
the chapel of Edward the Confessor, who I
reigned about 1042. The ceremony of coro- j
nation will be performed by the archbishop I
i 1 .
Both of these crowns are at present fmong
the crown jewels in the iron-barre<f place
of safekeeping in Wakefield tower, which
is one of the buildings that helps m|ke the
Tower of London. From out any one of
several windows in Wakefield tower the
visitor may look down upon the parade
where soldiers are drilling most of the day.
At the further end of the parade is Tower
Green, a green spot in the middle of which
Queen Anne Boleyn, Margaret, Countess of
Salisbury, Queen Katherine Howard, Jane,
Viscountess Rochford, Lady Jane Grey,
Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex, and many
others were beheaded. St. Edward’s crown
was made for the coronation of Charles II.
in 1661. There has never been any attempt
to arrive at its value, which is roughly es
timated at £385,000 sterling. Two good
sized pear-shaped pearl pendants on the top
of the crown are known to be worth £9,00<>.
This crown and that of Queen Victoria
rest among crown jewels valued at more
than £7,000,000. They rest in a great case
inside the iron-barred affair at the top of
Wakefield tower in a room which is said to
have been used by Henry VII. for his devo
tions while a prisoner in the tower and
where he was murdered. The intrinsic value
of the crown of Queen Victoria is something
over £3,000,000. It rests at the top of the
case and wqs made in 1838 for the corona
tion of the queen. Its chief jewels were
taken from older crowns and from the royal
collection. Among these is an enormous
ruby which came into the possession of
England from Spain in 1367. Its history is
dated back to a much earlier period. With
75 brilliant and large diamonds it forms a
Maltese cross on the front of the diadem.
Below it is a magnificent sapphire. There
are seven other large sapphires, eight large
emeralds and many hundreds of diamonds
decorating the band and arches. A cross
at the top of the crown is made up of a rose
cut sapphire and four large diamonds. In
all there are 2,700 diamonds and many othei
jewels in the crown, which weigh over 39
ounces. In this collection, too, are the orb
WEST END OF WESTMINSTER ABBEY.
of Canterbury. The king and queen will
then ascend a raised throne erected for the
occasion, where they will receive the
homage of the peers.
The first coronation in this chapel, which
is commonly called the choir, was that of
William the Conqueror in 1066. Since then
this plain and ancient looking raised plat
form or chapel has witnessed all corona
tions. The floor of the chapel is a mosaic
pavement of curious design. The materials
for the pavement were brought from Home
and laid about 1268. The pavement is com
posed of various kinds of marbles and
porphyry interspersed with Loin inscrip
tions in bronzed letters. The groundwork
is English marble and the whole has been
greatly injured.
THE CORONATION CHAIRS.
The One lo Be Occnpied by the Kins
Wan Made for Edward I.
The chairs on which the king and queen
will rest are known as the coronation
chairs. That to be occupied by the king
was last used by Queen Victoria at the
jubilee, and yet bears the colors of that oc
casion. This chair was made for Edward
I. to inclose in its seat the famous stone of
Scone. Tradition identifies this stone with
the one on which Jacob rested his head at
Bethel. His sons cai'ried it to Egypt, and
from thence it found its way to Spain with
King Gathelus, son of Cecrops, the builder
of Athens. About 700 B. C. it appeared in
Ireland, where it was carried by a Spanish
king’s son upon an invasion of the tight lit
tle isle. There it was placed upon the sa
cred hill of Tara, and became known as the
“stone of destiny.” It was claimed that
when the Irish kings were seated upon it
at coronations the stone groaned aloud if
the claimant was of royal race, but remained
silent if a pretender.
It is claimed for this remarkable piece,
which is really Scotch sandstone, that in
330 B. C., Fergus, the founder of the Scot
tish monarchy, and who. was of Ireland’s
royal blood, received it in Scotland, where
King Kenneth, in 850 A. D., deposited it
in the monastery of Scone. It is certain
that the stone was for centuries an object
of veneration to the people of Scotland.
They fancied that while it remained in their
country Scots would be monarchs of that
realm. When Edward I. overran Scotland
he seized the stone and took it to England,
where, in 1297, it was placed and kept in
Westminster Abbey, notwithstanding the
repeated efforts of the Scots to reclaim it.
Ever since the sovereigns of England have
been crowned upon this chair. The chair
upon which the queen will rest was made
for the coronation of William and Alary.
BRITISH CROWN JEWELS.
They Are Valued at I(t:t5.000,000 by Ex
perts in Precious Stones.
These ancient chairs are not the only cu
rious things with which King Edward will
have to do during the coronation ceremo
n es. He will first of all wear St. Edward’s
crown, the model by which all latter-day
crowns have been fashioned. At the con
clusion of the ceremonies he will have placed
wpou Ills bead th« crown of Queen Victoria.
and the royal scepter which the king and
queen will hold and which are of very great
value.
KING EDWARD'S IU1IIKS.
They Are Eccleatlcal Garment* an*
Worn Only on This Occasion.
The robes which King Edward will wear
while being crowned, and afterward while
receiving the sacrament, are ecclesiastical
vestments, and worn only upon this occa
sion by the sovereign. They are assumed in
Westminster abbey, and taken off there,
after which the robe of state of purple velvet
is put on. When the king enters the abbey
he wears a crimson velvet cloak. The cor
onation robes proper, then, are the priestly
vestments, and consist of a dalmatic, stole
and maniple. The dalmatic is a long iyjb®
or super-tunic, partly open at the sides, of
cloth of gold richly embroidered in colors,
with Tudor roses, shamrocks, thistles, fleur
de-lis and royal coronets, and lined with
crimson; the stole of bullion embroidery,
with floral designs, has the cross of St.
CJeorge worked at each end; it is lined with
crimson silk. The stole is worn deacon
wise—that is, while a priest would wear it
crossed over his breast, a deacon fastens it
on his left shoulder, and crossing it over his
breast secures the end under his right arm.
Tiie maniple, which much resembles the
stole, only- smaller, is worn over the left
arm.
The reason given for attiring a layman
in vestments worn only by the clergy is
that the monarch represents the church,
and is the protector of its privileges. Be
fore the anointing the king is conducted
into St. Edward’s chapel and vested in
these ecclesiastical garments, and after th>
act of homage they are laid aside.
THE DUKE OF NOHFOLK.
He la the Singe Manager of All tht
Coronation Event*.
By hereditary right, the Duke of Norfolk
is earl marshal, and he also holds the office
of chief butler, which entitles him to re
ceive a gold basin and ewer. The lord mayor
of London offers a gold cup of wine to the
king, and receives the cup for a fee; with 12
citizens of London, the mayor also claim*
the right to sit at a table next the cupboard,
on the left side of the banqueting hall.
The privilege of dining at a table on the
king's right hand belongs to the barons of
the Cinque Ports, who hold the canopy over
the king during some part of the ceremony.
They also carry a canopy over the queen.
Of the noblemen and others who are, so
to speak, stage managing the coronation, the
Duke of Norfolk takes premier position. As
earl marshal it falls to his lot to supervise
practically all the preliminary arrange
ments, and that fossilized institution, the
Herald’s college, of which he is the head, it
for A year being worked at top speed. It it

plications of peers and peeresses who con
sider themselves entitled to be svesent at

The three district presidents will
also go over the statement which
President Mitchell is preparing for
publication. The latter, it is under

Easton. Pa., June 22.—The coal
strike has had a serious effect on the
iron industry in the Lehigh valley.
Every furnace in the district is eith
er banked or blown out, and an iron
dealer is quoted as saying that there
is not a pound of pig iron on the
market in the valley. The scarcity
of pig iron will be the cause of the
shutting down of many other indus
tries using that product, unless the
miners go to work in a very short
time.
