EDWARD VII,
ENGLAND'S
NEW KING.
"4-
The Kind of Man Who Comes to the Throne
of Great Britain After Many Years of
Waiting His Gracious and Noble
Queen, Alexandra-" Some Facts About
the New lieir Apparent.
Edward VII, tbo new king of Eng
land nnd emperor of India, Is In his six
tieth year. He Is well preserved, of av
erage height, of portly build, llorld na
to complexion and of an oven, placid
temperament.
In the shadow of tho throne ho has
lived an almost uneventful life. While
waiting for tho scepter and royal robes
be has had tittle chance to show what
kingly mettle was la him.
The world knows him only as a Jolly
prince who has done nothing very good
nor any great evil. Pe-haps tho most
notahlo feature of his life thus far lias
ben his fondness for sports. Ho hns
meed horses, sailed ynrhta, shot birds,
plnyed cards and gambled nioro or less,
wilh more or leas discretion.
Ho might have come to the throne ns
Albert J, starting a uc.w line of kings,

EDWARD
but many years ago ho announced thnt
when he nscended the throne ho would
use his second name, Edward, and ho
known nil King Edward VII In profer
rncp to King Albert I. The English
peopjo have nlwnyn looked forward to
him' as King Edward VII.
His oldest son, the Dukn of York,
who liecomen the 1'rlncu of Wales by
Ills father's accession to the throne,
has also an Edward In his long list of
names, and his eldest sou, who will be
king of Eugluud somu day, If ho lives,
has also an Edward In his name. It
bug been argued thnt by railing him
self Edward VI 1 the new kiug could
revive the lino of kingly Edwnids, and
lu time they would exceed In number
tho Henrys who have sat upon the
English throne.
It wiiu loug tho fond hope of Victo
ria's heart that her sou should reign
under tho tltlo of Albert, the iiumo of
his father, her beloved husband. Hut
Albert Is a strange name to English
ears In the list of rojul titles. Tho
prlpco himself desired to be called Ed
wurd Tho queen's ministers and the
queen's subjects desired It, so at last
the mother, ho fond of her own way In
everything, saw that It were better to
yield, ilnt she Is reported to have shed
tears over It.
It wns on tho morning of tho Oth of
November, 1811, that nn anxious group
of personages waited In tho groat
rooms of Buckingham pnlncc. They
wero dignitaries of church nnd Mule.
who had been summoned lu accordance
wth royal etiquette to bo present at
the arrival of a possible heir to tho
throne of England. They gathered to
gether in tho nutcrodin closo by tho
queen's bed chamber. Among them
were archbishops and bishops, arrayed
lp silk shovel lints and gorgeous aprons;
members of tho cabinet, headed by the
prlrno minister; nurses nnd doctors by
the (core.
For hours this motley assemblage
owaltcd tbo event. Their patience was
rewarded.
(Is it boy?' anxlonsly asked tho
Duke of Wellington of the nurse.
t'lt Is n prince, your graee," answered
thtf woman, with unrutlled dignity.
When It was niiiiouneed that the
Jjopp U(J wlnhes of a nation had been
fullljled nnd that a boy had been born,
thorp wns universal pratulatloii. Prcl
iites anil otfttunmen embraced one nn-
i ejhpr with uncontrolled cffuBlvoness.
,s Caunon from tho grounds without
" tendered the news to all tho surround-
fS districts. Thousands of church
(foils took up tho sl&d tidings and peal-
f& out tbo announcement to an expect-
,rat nation. Early In tho morning the
, arlTy council ract in etate to ordnln
prayer and thanksgiving from ono end
, pi tb6 country to tho other.
A, fow weeks later, on tho occasion
' of tho prlnco's baptism in tho Royal
Chapel of Windsor, ho was shown from
tup balcony to a hues Towd of persons,
who went wild with delight.
The boyhood of the prince wns un
eventful. His early education was
conducted at home under tho tutelago
of tho Tlcv. H. Jr. nirch, rector of
Prestwlch; Mr. Olbbs, barrister at law;
the Itov. O. F. Tnrvor nnd Mr. 13. W.
Fisher. He then studied for a session
at Edinburgh nnd later entered Christ
church, Oxford. Here ho attended pub
lic lectures for a year and nfterward
resided for three or four terms at Trin
ity college, Cambridge, for the samo
purpose.
Ills curliest appearance In a leading
pnrt on any public occasion was In lBSO,
nt tbo laying of tho foundation stone
of the Lambeth School of Art nt Vaux
hall. After tho death of his father In
December, 1801, he naturally became
tbo most desirable functionary at all
ceremonies In which benellcent or char-

has ever slueu occupied a large share
of his time and has always been per
formed with dignity, tnct and patience.
Indeed no princo of any country hns
ever personally exerted himself mora
faithfully to renderscrvlces of this sort
to the community. The multiplicity
ami variety of his engagements on be
half of local aud special enterprises
make a surprising list and necessnrlly
Involved u Hiicrlllco of easo and leisure
which few men of high rank would

Among tho members of tho roynl
family tint i'rluco of Wales has been
culled Ikrtlo from his childhood. His
father culled him by that name; his
mother entered It In her dally diary
long :iftr ho had grown to manhood
and become the rather of n large fam

.An adoring British arlstocrney has
applied nil torts of names to the popu

taken up by many Americano who

who would be tho lady of his choice.
The question wns settled in tbo enrly

ularity, although the sterner puritan
Ism of his potential subjects has often
been shocked by stories of his dissipa

prince has always been supreme. Ward
McAllister callrdhlm "tho great social I

Influence thnt many Americans a na
tion whom ho has alwuys liked have
received their entree Into the Inner
circles of tho British aristocracy. Nev
ertheless the social and fasbtonnblo
side of his life has been more of a duty
than n plensure to blm. Ho hns alwaya
been most content when surrounded by
a circle of his old friends at his palace.
In Sandrlngham, a small village In tbo
county of Norfolk. There he has lived
tho llfo of nn English country gentle
man. Tho affection aud esteem In which
tho prince .ias been held were never
better exemplified than lu December,
1871. when ho wus attacked by typhoid
fever and for somo weeks hung be
tween life and denth. The anxiety of
the public wns lutenso, nnd the news of
bis recovery was .gieeted with great
Joy. On his first appearapco In. public
to tnke part In the memorable "thanks
giving service" In St. .Paul's cnthedral
on Feb. 27, 1872, the streets nlong tho
line of his route wero crowded with a
cheering multitude.
Since then the princo hns been put
ting In several years of quiet work, tak
ing a great dealof thoresponslblllty that
attaches to sovereignty off bis mother's
hands. He visited ludla and Ireland,
engaged In solidifying the empire. ,He
started Intercolonial and International
exhibitions. He encouraged and liber
ally subscribed to public charities. Ho
lias been a liberal pntrnn of art and of
the drama. It Is Impossible to overes
timate his power ns a social factor. Ho
hus dictated fashions and dominated
manners. On him fell the full respon
sibility of the arrangements for the
relebratlon of bis mother's Jubilee In
18S7. Do worked like n slave.
It lo linpoHHlblo not to mention two
notable, things of recent years tho buc
rnrat scandal and tbo death of the
prince's eldest son nnd his heir, the
Diiko of Clarence. T,ho card scuudnl

Gordon-Gumming, a cavalry olllcer of

stnko after seeing that the cards were

the prince was a witness, nnd Sir Wil

retired nto prlvato life.
Two years Inter tho Duko of Clar

a great blow to both tho prince nnd
princess, a bcriwemeut from' which
they have never fully recovered, After
tho funeral tho princo retired to the
deepest privacy. It was tunny mouths
before ho could take tip his public du
ties. Of Into years Marlborough House has
become tho center oftho prince's soclnl

The soc'al feature -Of It Is' very large.
When tho prlhcu does have nn Idb
hour, bo enjoys n now novel that he
has picked from the bookstnll himself.
No political party has ever been able
to rightly claim the I'rluco of Wales
ns an adherent, or even ns an active
sympathizer. He hns always managed
to keep conspicuously clear of party or
sectional Interests nnd still remain an
aggressive Englishman.

old. nccotnpnnylng his fiither on deer

As a yachtsman ho has been particular
ly fortunntc. Ho is tho.owncr of many

While no ono can confidently say
what political changes the advent of
the new king will make and It Is pos
sible that his rule may materially af
fect the course of British politics It Is
known that ho has always had liberal
leanings. Ho detested Bcuconsfleld;
ho felt a warm admiration for Glad

Uosebery. It Is ulrciidy predicted that
the new king will wprk for Bosebcry
for the premiership.
As for the new queen' of England, she
Is n daughter of the "north who at 50
Is still beautiful. She Is a splcudli
type of woman and was Princess Alex
nndra of Denmark prior to her mar
rlago to the Prince of Wales 38 years
ago.
A very pretty and romantic story Is
told of how tho Princess of Dcnmnrk
became the wife of Prince Albert Ed
word of Wales. The prince chanced to
bo whlllng away part of a long sum
mer afternoon with two or three con
genial friends when one of them, n
colonel, produced from his pocket n
photograph.
Tho prince Immediately beenrao
struck by the beauty and simplicity of
the young person lu the picture nnd
won became possessor of it. Within n
rery short time ho had dispatched a
:oulldcutiiil emissary to Denmark to
inrry his suit to the princess. Tho
emissary was struck by the simplicity
lit the royal personages, but particular
ly by the grandeur aud beauty of tho
young princess. Because of her simple
homo training the princess was best
fitted for tho pomp und honor of her
Htntton. Sho Is a brilliant woman,
strictly conservative, of commanding
presence and stature.
Her clmrncter Is at once stroug nnd
sweet, and who shows n kindly consid
eration for all who approach her.
As a mother sho Is Ideal. Her chil
dren wero renied nnd educated ns be

a matter of comment in England. She
Is a thoroughly practical womun, fond

thnt she is "sweet, noble, pretty, snap

temper is quick, disagreeable and un

that she Is "Just the most lovable wo

Queen Victoria during her long
reign bus showu hersWf to bo more

played the stolidity so admired by Eng
lishmen. Queen Alexandra, on the other hand,
is always a woman. Excitable nt

The strongest feature displayed by

Queen Victoria declared that she liked

could mention,
The now Prince of Wales, like the
now king, Is a man who has sown his
wild oats with n princely and lavish
hand. He has, however, settled down
und become, a man of family and dig
nity. George Frederick Ernest Albert, the
second nnd eldest surviving son of
the new King IMwnrd VII, has long
bceu known as the Duke of York, lie

from the fact that he has had a naval
career.
