The Sovereign haa not Been so Honored In Half Century All Heady for the Naval Review Satur day. By Cable to the Press-Visitor. London, June 23 This day was one of the most fatiguing of the week for the Queen. The official pro gram demanded the reception of several distinguished bodies of off cial personages. The inspection of the body guard and yeoman of the guard and the reception and ad dresses at Slough, Eton' and Wind sor were chief events of the day. ' One of the most interesting events of the entire week was the presenta tion to the Queen of congratulatory addresses by both houses of Parlia ment, which occurred at Bucking ham palace this morning. Nearly half a century has passed since the House of Commons visited the sovereign in a body, the last occasion being the presen tation of an address acknowledg ing the reception of the Queen 's ad dress announcing the declara. tion of war against Russia, and not since early forties when addresses were made congratulating the Queen on failure of attempts of assinatlon has she received the two Houses to gether. There were brief formali Ities in Westminister today, and after formal announcement being made by Lord Salisbury in the House of Lords, and Balfour in the House of Cemmons, that the Queen would be pleased to receive both houses, their members started he procession to the palace. They assembled Tn the chamber adjourningthe Throne room and after a brief delay the doors were thrown open and announcement made that the Queen had prepared to give them an audience. Thereupon the Lord Chancellor and speaker of Commons advanced side by side to the Throne, each followed by members of his House. Lord Salisbury knelt at the foot of the Throne and read the ad dress on his knees. He handed it to the Queen. After the parliament ary ceremony the Queen received in the same manner the mayors, Pro vosts of provinces and chairman of Councils who were afterwards enter tained at luncheon in the palace. This afternoon theQueen returned to Windsor. The procession was triumphant. On the route the royal party stopped at Slough Eton col lege and Windsor, where they were reoeived by the local authorities with impressive formalities, and most enthusiastically welcomed by the populace. Addresses were made at stopping places. The final epi sode was at the castle gates where addresses from Wind sor bodies were received As the Queen's carriage entered her home, the national anthem was chanted in welcome by three hundred voices. The day's .festivities were brought to an end by illuminations of 'the palace. With one exception all the ships assigned to take part in the naval review at Spithead Saturday have arrived off that place and have taken designated positions. The missing vessel is the training brig Sealark, whlchlt is feared, is lost with all aboard in the heavy gale that swept the channel.

Atlast iuck has changed, and the Dwyer's have won one of the big handicaps.

Their Brains for Science. By Telegraph to the Press-V isitor. Chicago, June 21 Pupils of Piof. Frederick Starr, formingthe Autopsy Society of the University of Chicago, have entered into a compact to give their brains to science when they die. Each pupil will also write out a history of his mental processes from the beginning to as near the end of his life as possible, and will give a statement of the vices and virtues that have influenced him. Students of anthropology have found much difficulty in obtaining the cer ebral tissue of persons of sound mind. The brains of criminals and nsane persons are easily procur able, and interesting facts have been gathered as to what a person's brain should not be. But to learn the ap pearance of the brain of a normal person has been difficult. By ex amination of the brains of these students with the accompanying written charts, it is believed that manifold shades of charter may be located in the respective parts of the brain. Steer Jumbo Slaughtered. By Telegraph to the Press-Visitor. Wichita, Kan., June 23.

The Wilmington Dispatch says: 'There seems to be some specula tion among the state aaval reserves as to thecruise and the consequences of the recent election in Newbern. Mr Winslow is at present spending the summer months at Sandwich, Mass., and according to all with whom we have talked there is no liklihood of Mr Wius'ow accepting the commandership. In the eveut of his acceptance the Newbern di vison would resign and withdraw from the battalion. The vote for commander stood G for Mr Winslow and 5 for Mr Morton; it is stated that the votes for Mr. Morton were cast by the Newbern division and shows the feeling toward the other nominee. The Lily, we understand, will un doubtedly go to the Newbern divis ion should they remain in the bat talion, if not it will come to Wil mington. Lieutenant--Commander Morton made one of the best commanders the reserves have ever had and though we understand that he does not want the commaudership, it would be a good move on the part of the battalion officers to elect him in the eveut of Mr. Wiuslow's non-ac ceptance. The state will not pay anything toward the cruise this year and con sequently the reserve will not use the Nantucket, but it is possible that the cruise may take place on the Lilly, at the sound.

A party of Sunday-school excursion ists had a narrow escape from death and it is believed that one man was killed. Several houses were blcwo down. The causes of cyclones have never been explained, and there are various reasons assigned for the cause of this particular cyclone, one of them being the presenceof a num ber of GalHigators in the immediate neighborhood. Frank A. Heywootl, editor and publisher of Southern Progress, a monthly publication issued at Phila delphia, Pa., writes the Wilmington Messenger as follows: "Southern Progress has requested your chamber of commerce to inform it if your citizens are apt to be interest ed in joining Philadeldhia people in organizing and operating a steam ship line between Philadelphia and Norfolk, Portsmouth and Newport News, Va., Wilmington, Charleston, S.
