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

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,

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

at the railroad stations by royal car

escorted to the official residences as
signed to them. Consequently plenry

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-

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

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

They received the same hearty wel

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.
