COMMENCES TODAY II QUEBEC
Quebec, July 20. Every boat and
train Into Quebec today brought lm
mense additions to the vast throng al
ready congregated here to witness the
stupendous pageant with which the
city will this week commemorate Its
tercentenary. Not In Its long hlHtory
of 300 years hus the ancient town on
the St. Lawrence entertained as great
a crowd. All Is In readiness for the
biggest historical exhibition of mod
ern times and with the official recep
tlon tomorrow to the French, English
and American battleships and the dis
tinguished guests, the week's fentivl
ties will be fairly Inaugurated. The
Prince of Wales, now speeding across
the Atlantic on tin; famous mystery
slilp, the British cruiser Indomitable,
will arrive Wednesduy afternoon and
his reception will bespeak the regard
In which all Canadians hold their fu
ture king. Vice-President Fairbanks
will be among the distinguished met.
who will greet the prince and bid him
welcome to the new world.
Heralds clad In all the finery of a
by-gone age and mounted on dashing
steeds cantered through trie streets of
Quebec today and men of the watch
shouted out announcements to the
crowds of the grcnt events to come.
Practically all of the hotel accom
modations of Quebec were engaged far
In advance by parties of distinguished
men and women from other lands and
the rank and file of the visitors will
be accommodated In the tent cities
which have sprung up as if by magic
on the heights of Quebec and In other
places In and near the city. Hundreds
of private residences have been open
ed to visitors, and all the educational
and religious Institutions of Quebec
and Levis have transformed their
class rooms and dormitories Into
sleeping rooms which will accommo
date thousands. Temporary restau
rants and lunch rooms have been es
tablished by scores and the provis
ioning of the thousands Is not consid
ered to be a matter of apprehension.
A Great Spectacle.
While the gathering of such a
crowd In so small a city is bound to
result In some discomfort for the vis
itors, the great spectacle will be well
worth It
There Is no such other stage In
the world for dramatic pagentry as
the Plains of Abraham, where the
grandeur of the natural scenery defies
description, and where the 20,000
spectators In the grand stand, face the
St Lawrence, S00 feet below, at th
point where Wolfe's Highlander!
clambored up the heights.
From the foot of his statue, wher
stands for all time the bronze figure
of the great Cham plain, stepping
ashore, as It were, as he did so long
ago, to take possession of this new
country of the west, the Prince of
Wales and. Vice-President Fairbanks
with other Illustrious guests will see
In procession before them all the
great men and women who have made
this country what It Is, and later on
will see, as In a dream, the moving
living pictures of the great events or
those early days.
On the banks of that river, when
the long rays of the sun stretch over
the plains, shall be seen again, as
Cartler saw nearly 400 years ago, a
cluster of wigwams set beneath the
trees. Away on the broad waters of
the river many feet below will come
the little boats with Cartler and his
crew, tneir names still preserved and
their descendants Impersonating
them.
Court of France" Pictured.
Then the spectators will be trans
ported in their dreams to the court oi
France, the gardens at Fontalnbleu,
and high on a white charger, trapped
with cloth of gold, rides the proud fig
ure of Francis I, as they see him In
pictures painted when he lived and
was surrounded by his court.
Then back again for the little old
village of Ptndacona to see Champlaln
as he brings his girl 'wife to the new
country.
So on through many scenes, and
then nt Inst In a final scene the armies
of the brave nations, side by side in u
parade of honor, the scarlet and gold
of the Rritlsh and the blue and white
of the French, headed by four noble
generals Montcalm and Wolfe, Levis
and Murray. The flags wave, the
drums rattle, the trumpets blare, the
dream of the past Is over and only
the wonder of the present nnd the In
finite possibilities of the future re
main. No descendants of either Major
General James Wolfe or of the Mar
quis de Montcalm remain to take part
In the ceremonies In the Ancient cap
ital and ns for Samuel do Champlaln,
there are none of his descendants
known to be In existence.
These are the three principal fig
ures of the demonstration whose
names will be linked for all time with
the founding of Quebec and the most'
notable battles.
A War Romance.
General Wolfe, as history Informs
us, died unmarried though his action
while In the sloop of war before land
ing for his last fight .would tend to
show he was betrothed to a Miss Low
ther. Scnted In the cabin by the side
of his former schoolfellow, Comman
der John Jervls, afterwards Enrl St.
Vincent, he told the latter that he
expected to fall In the battle of the
next day "and taking from his bosom
a miniature of Miss Lowther, he gave
It to him with. Abe- request that he
would return it to her should the pre
sentiment prove true." His request
was faithfully carried out by his
friend and schoolmate. Wolfe left no
family and sleeps a brave warrior's
sleep entombed by the side of his
father and mother in the chapel of
the ancient pulace of Greenwich.
As Is well known, hi schlvalrous op.
ponent, the Marquis de Montcalm,
found' n soldier's grave 'nenth the
chapel of the t'rsullne Convent, Que
bec, In an excavation made by the
bursting of n shell from one of the
British men-of-war, bombarding the
city during Wolfe's attack on the
."Plains." King Louis XV., In recog
nition of Montcalm's splendid services
at Tlconderoga, and the defense of
Quebec, bestowed a pension of $20,000
a year upon his widow and children,
which was, strange to say, continued
to them, and the only pension left by
the leaders of the revolution.
Ahout 15 years ago, the press of
Palis announced the death at Mont
peller of the Marquis de Montcalm,
who was prominent in society, and
one of the most popular members of
the Union club of Paris. He left no
children, but merely an adopted son
of the name St. Maurice, whf married j
a Corslcan lady named Mile. Pnzzo d
Horgo.
There are alleged to be descendants t
of Generals de Labis and Murray, who i
fought nt the battle of Ste. Foye. The
former was a cadet of the French
and Spanish ducal houses of Levls-
Mlrepolx, and which claim, descent !
from Levi, the son of Jacob.
imiDE GOT TlfE LICENSE.
Traveled 1500 Miles to Weil anil Then
raiu.u lug aiiimii.
Another leap year bride took out
a license at the court house yesterday
to wed a bashful young man, says the
Spokesman-Review. She more fully'
lived up to the traditions of the year
by having only a few days since Jour
neyed 1500 miles to wed a sweetheart
of long standing.
The fair applicant for the license I
was Miss Mildred L. Bowmen of
Minneapolis, and she is to marry Har
ry A. Miller, editor of a paper at Fer
rell, Idaho, and director of the Fer-
rell orchestra.
Miss Bowen denied that she had
taken the initiative In the ceremony
which Is about to be performed.
"It was entirely a matter of reci
procity," she explained, when asked
If she were a regulation leap year
bride. "My prospective husband
wasn't afraid to take out the license.
He was simply to busy getting ready
for our wedding and' attending to his
business at Ferrel, that I just had to
come and get the license myself. We
had arranged to be married tomorrogw
and he had Intended getting to Spo
kane in time to secure the license. He
was unable to do so, and rather than
have the wedding postponed I made
up my mind that I could get the per
mit for our marriage Just as well as
not, so here I am, and it didn't take
much nerve after all."
Miss Bowen and Mr. Miller grew
up together in Minneapolis, and their
engagement antedates his coming to
Idaho a short time ago to embark
in business for himself. Success
crowned his efforts In the new coun
try from the start. He found that the
climate agreed with him and he liked
the people. He nlso liked the scenery
and the way they do business in Ida
ho. There was only one thing lack
ing, he found to fill his cup of happi
ness to the brim, and that was Mil
dred. It needed only a little correspond
ence to prepare that young woman
for a hurry-up trip to Spokane to link
her life with her beau Ideal of what
a man should be.
They will be married at 4 o'clock
this afternoon by the Rev. Mr. Rock
kood, at the home of tne bride's
school, day friend, Mrs. John M.
Long, 2330 Broadway. They will re
side at Ferrell.

Pills for several years, and find them
