Edward Shows No Trace of His Late Illness—Hundreds of Royal Person ages, Guests of the King, Now Ar riving Daily from the Continent. London, June 23.—King Edward an 1 Queen Alexandra arrived in London from Windsor at 12.3d p. m. today. Hii majestj appeared to be in his usual good heallh. With the leturn of the court to Lon don from Windsor today the festivities of the eoromttion may be said to have commenced, and each day until mid night Saturoay, when the last gun of the royal salute will be fired by the fleet at Spithead, will furnish its quota of .he attractions which promise to make the week memorable. From today the special ambassadors, envoys and princes invited to join in the festivities become the guestk of tho One of the Grentent Power* on Earth to Soothe Aachiui Heart*. E/.ELL, May 4 —The following essay was prepared by Miss Grace X. Hicks and read before the recent meeting cf the singing convention: Being requested to write an essay for this occasion, I have chosen for my subject, “Music. I know that this subject has been dis- c issed and written on many times already, but it is a theme tiiat can not be exhausted. The more we learn the more we find there is to learn. But we should ail cultivate a taste for and strive to be proficient in music—let no obstacles, huwrever great, deter us. Some of the world’s greatest musicians have had to con tend with difficulties seemingly insur mountable. Beethoven was deaf, and Me z irt, who composed his own re quiem, the greatest piece of music of its kind ever written, was so poor tnat he often hadn’t bread enough to eat. But they chose the right way of overcoming these difficulties by taking them to God in prayer. Mozart, when but a child, was heard praying to God for help that be might study his beloved music ; and Haydn, just before he died, when he had a?ked to hear his great masterpiece (Ori- atior) rendered, said: ‘Not unto me, CLOTHING AND STRAW HATS CUT TO PIECES Bristow, McAllister & Peeler. king. Throughout the day numbers . of royal personages have been arriving I °h b ut; unto Thee be all the glory.” Music is one of the greatest powers of the world. If it were not for music this world would indeed be sad and dreary. In our deepest trouble it soothes the aching heart and brings us nearer our great creator. What would our churches and Sunday schools be without music? Certainly not half what they are. The very best sermons and lectures ever made would often fail in their mission with out the help of music. The world’s greatest evangelist, D. L. Moody, could not have done what he did without the help of music He made two trips without success, but on the third lie took that greatest of gospel singers. Ira D. Sat key, and they suc ceeded. Nothing is more widesbread than music. Music of some kind exists wherever the human species is found. It does not follow that every good piece of music must please all men alike or be understood equally by all, because music is an art requiring cul tivation ol mind and heart to fully appreciate it. As civilization ad vances music as a science gains new admirers, hut culture is not required to love music, it is horn innate in us to love and appreciate some kind of music. The Indian, uncultured as he is, exhibits great pleasure at a piece of music which resembles the trilling of birds, but sits stolidly in different to other pieces equally us fine to the cultivated ear. Music that would make the Italian shout for j >y would not aff‘ ct the X -rwei- gan. Therefore God has given us | many kinds of music. The winds | that sigh among the pines make soD, I soothing music. The birds, sweet j singers of the woods, take up the i song and the forest resounds with , their melodies. The bees and beetles I and every tiny insect that can raise ! its voice joins in the glad refrain. The bix-hs, the 1 lowers, the busy >ees All. cr eat God, are praising Tlu-e. And every breaih that heavenward Hies Bears songs of praise up to th< skies. from the continent. They were met at the railroad stations by royal car riages and guards of honor and were escorted to the official residences as signed to them. Consequently plenry of entertainment was provided for thd crowds of sightseers filling the streets, A big throng took the opportunity of greeting the king and queen on their entry into the capital a«d semi- slate progress to Buckingham palace. Accompanied by Priflce and Princess Charles, of Denmark, their majesties reached Paddington at 12:30 p. m., and proceeded in semi-state landaus, drawn by four horses with postilions, preceded by out-riders and attended by an escort of the royal dragoon guards, along the routes usually followed by the late Queen Victoria. The thor oughfares were thickly lined with pen. pie and the enthusiasm of the specta tors evidenced their delight at the ocu lar proof of the recovery of the king from his recent indisposition. Numerous police precautions w’ore taken at the railroad station; hut the public managed to invade the bridges crossing the track and the arrival of the royal train was greeted with cheers. The king lost no time in alighting, and after chatting with the railroad officials, entered a carriage. He appeared to he in his usual good health. He showed few symptoms of his recent illness. Their majesties reached Bucking ham palace shortly before 1 o'clock'. They received the same hearty wel come from the thousands of peonio who congregated in the avenues lead ing to the royal residence as greeted them throughout the entire route from the station. BOLOMEN ATTACK SOLDIERS. Were Set Upon While Escorting Wag on Train in Mindanao. Manila, June 23.—Five soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infantry forming an advance guard which was escorting a wagon train half a mile from Camp \ icars, island of Mindanoa, were af- tacked today by ten bolomen. One soldier had an arm badly cut and an other was seriously wounded in the head. The Moros captured a rifle and escaped uninjured. The Bandinglam Moros say the at tackers were Moros from Bonolod, who went on the warpath in the morn ing for the avowed purpose of killing negligent Americans. Lieutenant ColoneJ Frank D. Bald win. from the Island of Mindanao, re ports that the Moros have held a big conference at Bacolor. The sultan urged a policy of friendship with the Americans, hut two of the Dattos sa:d they would din first. Others declared that if the two lottos caused war. th<-y would not assist them. Throe towns in the western part of the island are inclined to be unfriend ly. Colonel Baldwin hopes to win them over to peace.
