SOLEMN CHURCH RITE Aged Premier Michelscn, Who Cut Bonrl With Sweden, Witnesses , Completion of Work Trond- f- . lijem Wild With Joy. TRONDHJEM, June 22. With noble ceremony. King: Haakon VII and Queen Maud today were Invested wlch the crowns of Norway. The time, the cir cumstances and the memory gave the occasion peculiar solemnity that pro duced an imupressive monotone throughout the proceedings. The rhort white night, through which quiet reigned for the first time since the coronation festivities began, 'merged into a cold, sunless day, and scarcely a sound save the tramp of sol diers, the roll of carriage-wheels and occasional- snouts, broke the silence until al the day's bells announced to the waiting assemblage that the royal family had left the palace and was proceeding to the cathedral. Already the ancient edifice, lighted by festoons of electric globes that were dim In the pale daylight, was thronged with a brilliant company. Representative Norwegians, visiting Princes and Prin cesses, noblemen, diplomats and dis tinguished foreigners, and officers of the armies and the navies of the world occupied places on the front benches. Mlchelsen, the Kingmaker. At the front of the aisle and near the apse, within which stood the throne facing the high altar, sat today's great man of Norway. Michelsen, in company with the grizzled statesmen forming his historic cabinet. Strength, deter mination and care, too, were written on the Premier's face. Michelsen de cided for a Kingdom against Republic. Indeed, he largely made the new King dom, but Is avowedly aguinst- "'the boast of heraldry, the pomp, of pow er." However, the voice of the people expressed the Norsemen's love for old time glory and demanded restitution, not institution, and so Michelsen yielded. King and Queen Enter. At exactly 11 o'clock the members of the Cabinet, in company with leading clergymen from all parts of Norway, with the officiating bishops, marched down the long aisle of the church to await the King and Queen in the pa vilion at the entrance. Ten minutes later, while a shaft of light shot through the cathedral as the grqat portal was thrown open, the organ, with a crash of melody, began to pour forth the wcTrd strains of the national anthem. The vast audience as one man rose td receive standing the youthful sovereigns, who marched slowly down the long nave un der the red and gold of the Imperial banner. After the sovereigns had taken their places upon the dais, the clergy in white robes dlsDOsed themselves in a semi circle around the altar. TheNnusIc ceased and the Bishop of Trondhjem arose and read the first lines of a hymn, the lm port of which was "In the name of Jesus all things must be done." Led by the organ, orchestra and chorus, the au dience eang a melody that might have been written for a sacrificial rite of the Norseman's ancient barbaric faith. The King, with a printed programme In his hand, joined In the singing. After the recitation of the confession and the Te Deutn, the Bishop of Chrlstianla mounted the pulpit facing the King, and deliv ered an Jmpresslve sermon, through which ran. & clear note of courage and happi ness. He said: Exults in Norway's Freedom. Norsemen, be not afraid. Let Joyful hearts pratae God the savior for this great hour that with ua will be (tlorious In the sagas of Norway. Six nundred years have passed since a King of our own has been crowned In our fatherland. In the ceremony en acted today the great past meets the great er present and the broken threads of our nation a K'ory are twined together. The bishop reviewed Norway's trou blous story and proceeded: But, after dark centuries of history, new times come to fill us with new aspirations. Thou. Norway, wast not permitted to die. and it was the belief of thy people in them selves that' saved thee. - , We now stand alone In the world, but we are not afraid. Tou, Norwegians, -have faith In God and In yourselves. Faithfulness to the Kin will carry us triumphantly on our way. After wishing the King and Queen joy In the new Kingdom and beseeching them to be hopeful for its greater future, the bishop said: 1 voice the thought nearest the hearts of the people when I ask your majesties to take to the little Crown Prince a greeting from the nation. He is our hope; with him lies the future which we snail prepare for him. May he grow up in the spirit of Nor way, learning to live and think the life and thoughts of a Norwegian after the manner and In the language dear to Norwegian hearts. Haakon Receives His Crown. After the service a part of the cantata was rendered. Then King Haakon, pre ceded by the chief of the royal house hold, walked to the throne. He was grave and dignified. His long purple and er mine robe was borne by five young naval officers, and he presented an appearance kingly enough to satisfy any people. Be side him walked his military staff, a mediaeval picture In strange contrast to the dress coats and vari-colored toilets of the twentieth century assemblage. During the Investiture the silence of the spectators was accentuated by soft mu sic from the organ. After anointment and prayer the crown was finally placed upon the head of the King by Premier Michelsen. An impressive pause en suedi during which one felt the strange ness of the contrast between the young elected monarch and the 'gray-beared statesman who might have made himself a Republic's President. As King Haakon walked down the long aisle to the dais, wearing the crown and carrying the scepter and orb, women wept and men looked strangely moved. Queen Maud Crowned. Once more the orchestra and chorus broke Into music, expressing Invitation and welcome,- and Queen Maud, accom panied by one lady in waiting and three maids of honor, advanced with slightly hesitating steps toward the throne. She looked regal in a robe of gold moire em broidered with silver and pearls. She wore a collar of diamonds, but no other ornaments. The crowning ceremony hav ing been repeated. Queen Maud returned to her eat. bowing to the people on either side. Then the white-haired Bishop of Bergen pronounced the benediction and the President of the Storthing, standing on the steps of the throne, pro claimed the completion of the ceremony. When approaching the cathedral their majesties faced half a dozen photographic machines and a score of cameras. The procession moved slow ly. Handkerchiefs and flags were waved, but the crowd seemingly was Impressed by the coming religious cer emony and the people generally were silent. Occasionally, however, there was an outbreak of cheers. The royal coach was drawn by four handsome bays. led by footmen. Guns Boom, Bells Ring. The completion of the crowning of King Haakon was communicated by two army signalers, wig-wagging across the city from the cathedral to the hill batteries. The first gun an nouncing the tidings boomed forth in stantly, and then there was a roar or guns from the ships and land batteries and the bells of all the city churches began ringing. The sounds carried the tidings over the city and harbor, ana the reports were carried up and down the Flcrd. On their eturn to the palace the King and Queen received the congratulations of a deputation from the Storthing and the members of the government, later the vast throng outside the palace broke out Into hearty cheers In response to their majesties' appearance at a window, still wearing their coronation robes. The crown, although reduced in size since it was used toy King Oscar, proved to be large for King Haakon and failed to confer dignity on the monarch, but he maintained his composure despite the fact that the crown threatened to fall over his ears. , Queen Maud looked attractive In her royal robes and diamond collar. She bowed graciously on either side when she advanced to the throne to receive her crown. . The Queen and her ladies In waiting were simply gowned. There were no court trains and they had no feathers In their hair. There were few elaborate toilettes among the audience. Americans Who Were Present. Besides the special embassy from the United States and Mr. and Mrs. Will lam J. Bryan, the Americans present Included Mmes. Marshall Field and Eddy and Miss Eddy, of Chicago; Will iam Wheatley and wife, Mrs. E. Hope Slater and Miss Gwinn, of Washington, and the Norwegian-American delega tion. King Haakon presented to Spe cial Ambassador Graves and Mrs. Graves silver medals struck in honor of the coronation. At the state dinner at the palace to night there were 350 guests, including all the visiting Princes and Princesses and members of the special embassies and legations. The King and Queen and' the majority of the party dined in a specially constructed hall in the rear of the palace, but the hall was inade quate for the guests, and all four rooms on the lower floor of the palace were utilized. Mr. and Mrs. Graves, Lieutenant Commander J. H. Gibbons and Mrs. Gibbons and Major William W. Gib bons were the Americans present.

TAKES DOSE OF DOG POISON Fresno Man Infatuated With Cho rus Girl Tries to Die.

Cox approached a drug clerk and made over tures to him in a sad, preoccupied man ner for a good, healthy dose of dog poison. As it appeared to the drug clerk at the time. Cox possessed a valuable canine who had suffered reverses in life until lie had become Oslerized. Cox's love-despondent expression and sad demeanor lent color to his supplication for poison, and it was given him after Cox had parted with enough money to buy a gunnysack and drown his dog. The clerk eyed his sad purchaser closely, and when. Instead of leaving the store, he swallowed a dose of the dog-poison, the salesman grabbed him, and, alter wres tling with him, succeeded In regaining the poison, cox was taicen to uooa Sa maritan Hospjtal, where restoratives were administered and the lovelorn patient was brought back to earthly sorrow.
