Hosford, Chairman of Ball Committee, Announces American Coronation Ball. ! —_— 'xo MORE NEWS FORTHCOMING An American coronation, whatever that is, is to be seen at Ak-Sar-Ben den this year on the evening of the grand ball this year. Hitherto the king of Ak-Sar-Ben has been crowned annually amid all the pompous ceremonies of a Bix- teenth century or a medieval court function. W. D. Hosford, chairman of the ball committee, announces that this year some of the ancient court stuff is to be done away with, and that there is to be an American ball and an American coronation. With that remark W, D. Hosford caught a train and hiked out of town. Until he gets back the patient soclety people who want to know how to dress for the occasion will be puzzled as to whether this ‘“‘coronation” is to follow the ceremonies of a twentleth century Inauguration of a president of the Amer- ican republic, or whether it is to follow the coronation ceremonies that would be likely to be witnessed in America if the River of Doubt should ever be crowned king. To Wear Kalokers, “Knickerbockers will probably be worn by the governors.” This much of & hint W. D. Hosford flings back from the steps of the train before he goes. That is consoling, too, for it will give Bverett Buckingham of stock yards fame amplo time to have his chaps cut down and tied with a bow at the knees. Last year the knights could not march at th ecoronation because their uniforms got wet and ruined the night before In the electrical parade. This year their uniforms are to be properly preserved and they are to march. Rent rodms quick with a Bee Want Ad. WEALTHY WIDOWS SUPERVISE WIDOWS' PEN. “ SIONS-—Mys. J.

He says he will return about August 16, to redecorate and remodel the Gayety for the winter run of*shows. OMAHANS ARE THICK ON THE PACIFIC COAST BSan Francisco is just a small vilage if one may judge from the way Harry Byrne acoidentally met Omaha penple at every turn there. It may be that Frisco is small, or that Omaha is better repre- sented there than any other city in the world. Mr. Byrne saw H. J. Penfold just in passing. Then around the corner he bumped smack Into W. J. Burgess. In a cafe he met B. V. Parrish and Rome Miller, Mr. Miller's son Billy, and daughter, Mrs. Waggener. Then Oma- hans got to be stich a common occurence that Mr. Bryne ceased to count them or keep any record of them. They are all having a good time at San Francisco.
