THE CAPTURE OF Miss Stone, the
American missionary, by brigauds with
in the jurisdiction of the Sublime Porte
ia about to produce more friction be-
tween this country and Turkey. The
United States has requested theOttomsn
government to recall their troops from
a search for the brigsnds lest the latter
kill their captive, and preparations for
payment of the ransom are being made
According to the London Spectator
President Roosevelt and his cabinet
maintain that the Sultan Is responsible
as lie his misgovernment that provokes
aud protects brigandage. They intend
to demand repsration from the Porte
and after diplomacy shall have been
exhausted the United States will make
another naval demonstration in Tur'
kish waters. England, it seems, Is egg
ing on the United States in such
movement, and probably her object il
to make q catspsw Of this country BY
making it q party to the everlasting
Eastern question. The British govern
meut no doubt would rejoice In having
an ally in the Levsnt. and doubtless II
thinks the United States would fill thu
bill when the time shall come for usinl
force to keep the Russians from enter
ing CoDstantinople. The capture O.
Miss Stone by brigands and the de-
mandiug OF an exorbitant sum for hei
release is naturally exasperating, but
why Turkey should be held responsible
for the mishaps OF missionaries is moi
clear to everyone. There are bandits
and outlaws In all countries and natives
suffer from their depredations as we'll
as strangers.

An intimate friend of the Princess of
Wales-for only an intimate friend can
be pardoned in so describing her-says
that she is sweet, noble, pretty, snap
py, arrogant and disa greeable.' Her
temper is quick. disagreeable and I'M
certain" Yet, withal, this friend adds
that she is 'just the most lovable wo-
man in the world
Queen Victoria during her long
reign has shown. herself to be more
man than a woman. Her conduct in
time of trouble has been calm and Sc
rene. and in time of peace she has dis
played the stolidity SO admired by Eng
lishmen.
Queen Alexandra, on the other hand,
is always "a woman. Excitable at
times, fervent, pathetic, variable-and
womanly always
The strongest feature displayed by
the new queen of England is her clique.
No one ever knew Victoria to have an
intimate friend. Even Nine. Albaui
was kept at length, but Queen Alexan-
dra has her friends and falls out with
them in woman's way.
At one time she loved Lady Brooke.
but her love cooled; at another she and
Lady Randolph Churchill were insep-
srable-one never shopped without the
other-but at later date she took
Lady Craven instead and insisted that
she become one of her ladies of honor.
1t is not in temperament alone that
the new queen differs from her prede-
cessor, but in every other detail.
For years Alexandra has been noted
for her taste in dress-an accusation
never made of Queen Victoria.
In admirable characteristics Alexan-
dra is not wanting. She is the only one
of Queen victoria's royal daughters
in-law who has been able To get along
with her. Even her daughters have
found little sympathy in the cool rigid
ness of the throne. But Alexandra be-
gan by determining to like her mother
in-law, and she has kept it up.
Queen Victoria declared that she liked
the Princess of Wales better than any
one of her own family except Beatrice
and that she would sooner see her on
the throne than any other one that she
could mention.
The new Prince OF Wales like the
new king, is man who has sown his
wild oats with a princely and lavish
hand. He has, however. settled down
and become, man of family and dig
nifty.

Edward VII, the new king of Eng
land and emperor of India, is in his six
tieth year. He is well preserved, of av-
erage height, of portly build, ford as
10 complexion and of an even, placid
temperament.
In the shadow of the throne he has
lived an almost uneventful life. While
waiting for the scepter and royal robes
he has had little chance TO show what
kingly mettle was in him.
The world knows him only as jolly
prince who has done nothing very good
nor any great evil. Perhaps the most
notable feature of his life thus far has
been his fondness for sports. He has
raced horses, sailed yachts, shot birds.
played cards and gambled more or less,
with more or less discretion.
He might have come to the throne as
Albert 1, starting a new line of kings.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1901-01-24

but many years ago he announced that
when he assembled the throne he would
use his second name, Edward, and be
known as King Edward VII in prefer
ence to King Albert I. The English
people have always looked forward to
him as King Edward VII.
His eldest son, the Duke of York,
who becomes the Prince of Wales by
his fathers accession to the throne,
has also an Edward in his long list of
names. and his eldest son, who will be
king of England some day. if he lives,
has also an Edward in his name. 1t
has been argued that by calling him
self Edward VII the new king could
revive the line of kingly Edwards, and
in time they would exceed in number
the Henrys who have sat upon the
English throne.
1t was long the fond hope of Victo-
ria's heart that her son should reign
under the title of Albert, the name of
his father, her beloved husband. But
Albert is a strange name to English
ears in the list of royal titles. The
prince himself desired to be called Ed
ward. The queens ministers and the
queens subjects desired it, so at last
the mother, so fond of her own way in
everything, saw that it were better to
yield. But she is reported to have shed
tears over it.
1t was on the morning of the 9th of
November, 1871, that an anxious group
of personages waited in the great
rooms of Buckingham palace. They
were dignitaries of church and state
who had been summoned in accordance
with royal etiquette TO he present at
the arrival of a possible heir to the
throne of England. They gathered to-
gether in the anteroom close by the
queens bed chamber. Among them
were archbishops and bishops, arrayed
in silk shovel hats and gorgeous aprons;
members of the cabinet, headed by the
prime minister; nurses. and doctors by
the score.
For hours this motley assemblage
awaited the event. Their patience was
re warded.

Duke of wellington of the nurse.

markable land which claims with us
a common ancestry and in whose ex-
traordinary progress every Englishman
feels a common interest"
In 1862, accompanied by Dean Stan
ley, he made journey TO the east, in
Guiding a visit to Jerusalem. The
young prince was now of a marriage
able age. Speculation was rife as to
who would be the lady of his choice.
The question was settled in the early
part of 1868. when his engagement was
announced to Princess Alexandra, the
eldest daughter of the king of Den
mark. She was three years younger
than the prince and, though compare
lively poor. was beautiful and accom-
plished. The marriage was celebrated
in st. Georges chapel, Windsor castle,
on March 10, 1863.
All England rejoiced over the event.
Tennyson, who had just been made po-
ct laureate, wrote one of his fine poems,
"A Welcome to Alexandra" on this oc-
casion. The princess soon made her
self very popular with all classes of
the British public. not only by her out
ward grace of manner, but also by her
virtues and anna bility. The prince
himself has always shared in this pop
ularity, although the sterner puritan
ism of his potential subjects has often
been shocked by stories of his dissipa-
ton.
As a social factor in England the
prince has always been supreme. Ward
McAllister called him 1.-THE great social
dictator" 1t was largely through his
influence that many Americans ma
ton whom he has always liked-have
received their entree into the inner
circles of the British aristocracy. New
erthelesS the social and fashionable
side of his life has been more of a duty
than pleasure to him. He has always
been most content when surrounded by
n circle of his old friends at his palace.
in Sandringham, a small village in the
county of Norfolk. There lie has lived
the life of an English country gentle
man.
The affection and esteem in which
the prince has been held were never
better exemplified than in December.
1871, when he was attacked by typhoid
fever and for some weeks hung be-
tween life and death. The anxiety of
the public was intense, and the news of
his recovery was greeted with great
joy. On his first appearance in public
to take part in the memorable thanks
giving service" in St. Paul's cathedral
on Feb. 81, 1872, the streets along the
line of his route were crowded with a
cheering multitude.
Since then the prince has been put
ting in several years of quiet work, talk
ing great lof the responsibility that

young prince. like his brother and sis
tiers, was brought up with the most
studied simplicity both in London and
at Sandringham and much more like
the child of plain country gentleman
than the son of Il royal prince. as such
bringing up is understood in other
countries. The Rev. j. y. Dalton was
selected by the Prince of Wales as his
sons tutor. and under his superintend
ence the first few years of the young
princes life We're passed in quiet study
and in happy home life Of which he
was the leading spirit.
In 1877 Prince George and the late
Duke of Clarence and Avondale be-
came naval cadets and entered on
board H. NJ. s. Britannia. the training
ship stationed at Dartmouth. Here the
young prince entered upon his training
for the profession TO which his after
life was to be devoted and showed a
great deal of taste for naval studies,

| at Edinburgh and later entered Christ
church, Oxford. Here he attended pub
| lie lectures for year and afterward
| resided for three or four terms at Trim
| ity college, Cambridge, for the same
| purpose.
His earliest appearance in a leading
part on any public occasion was in 1859,
| at the laying of the foundation stone
of the Lambeth School of Art at Vaux-
hall. After the death of his father in
| December, 1861, he naturally became
| the most desirable functionary at al,
ceremonies in which beneficent or char
liable undertakings were to be recog-
nized by royal approval. This work
has ever since occupied a large share
of his time and has always been per-
formed with dignity, tact and patience.
! Indeed no prince of any country has
ever personally exerted himself more
| faithfully to render services of this sort
to the community. The multiplicity
and variety of his enga gements on be-
half of local and special enterprises
make q surprising list and necessarily
involved a sacrifice of ease and leisure
which few men of high rank would
care to make.
Among the members of the royal
family the Prince OF Wales has been
called BERTHE from his childhood. His
father called. him by that name; his
mother entered it in her daily diary
long after he had grown to manhood
and become the father of large fam
lily; his wife calls him BERTHE today.
But wee be to any outsider, however
intimate, who dares address the prince
by that name,
An adoring British ar.stocracy has
applied all sorts of names to the popu-
lar heir apparent, which have been
taken up by many Americans who
have met him and a great many more
who have not. Some of these pet
names have not been altogether dig
nifed, or even respectful-such as
'-tum-tum." But the prince has put up
with them all good naturally. But
BERTHE was for the family alone The

gems spell .Bertie.. 1t was the prin-
cess idea.
