There is no army in the world where

Queen Victoria is dead. She passed

clans and the members of her family. The
Prince of Wales is now King of Great
Britain and Ireland and Emperor of In

the throne as her legal successor. He will
reign as Edward VII.
The Queen died mt 6:30 o'clock Tuesday

destined to be as distinctive in British
history as the era of Elizabeth. it was
Victoria's fate to see the British empire
embarrassed by war and apparently los
ing its primacy among the nations Of the
earth. Whether it has not actually pass
ed the climax Of its greatness and is
now on the point of a retrosrade move
ment is a question yet to be determined.
The circumstances under which Albert
Edward assumes the sovereign power as
ing Edward VII. are therefore peculiarly
trying. but thoughtful observers will be
slow to conclude that as king he will
fail to satisfy the needs and expecta-
tions of the British people. However
England may have looked upon its heir
apparent twenty years ago. in the recent
years during which he has been called
upon to perform most of the public and
ceremonial functions of the monarch, act
ing as Victoria's representative. he has

both as woman and as queen. 1t has
been the especial merit of the Queen SO to
fill the functions of rulership as to exer-
else positive influence. By precept
and example, by her eminent qualities
of good sense and kindliness, by her
strength of character and her love Of
peace, she has done much to make the ma
ton great and to secure the advancement
of the world at large.
1t is a noteworthy fact that while the
changing conditions since she was crown
ed in 1887 have tended to reduce greatly
the specific powers Of sovereignty she
has accepted the natural trend of events
with equanimity. steadily gaining in es
TEEN and affection as the years passed.
Never has she been more sincerely re-
vered and loved than during the decade
Just closed; never has the quiet force of
her influence been more generally reeog-
nized. The whole period embraced in the
Victorian era has been the period of
Great Britain's greatest imperial deyel-
opment. The statesmen who were her
advisers when she came to the throne, u
girl of IS, seem now to have belonged to
an entirely different epoch, so great has
been the change in the political world
and in the currents and tendencies of in
tellectual life. In all this process OF
growth Victoria has exercised whole
some, if passive, influence. She has met
new burdens and honOrs with dignity:
she has kept before the British public
high ideals of principle and conduct; and
if the political growth and material pros
perity of England are not directly trace
able to her. her essential goodness and
her well-poised character have at least
done much to maintain the sentiments of
confidence and patriotism which tend
most to make for nations happiness.
1t has been entirely in keeping with
Victoria's 5 character that she should have
been a consistent friend of peace. 1t can
never be forgotten by Americans that her
influence saved the United States ut
critical time from 4 serious break with
England. With a ministry which, like
most of the cabinets of Europe, was op-
enly antagonistic TO the North, Victoria
stood almost alone in befriendins this
government: 1t was her own peremptory
protest that prevented her prime minis
ter from taking the step which might
have precipitated war. Ii waS i'll such
occurrences as these that Victoria disclos-
ed the moral courage and the determina-
ton with which she was capable OF act
ing when she deemed action necessary,
and it is the possession Of those attri-
butes, no doubt, TO which in large degree
is due her unique position among the rul-
ers of the world. No monarch i'll Europe.
probably, is more hedged around with
limitations than the ruler of England. yet
no sovereign now living can command
either the uuquestioning confidence or the
respect which has been freely accorded
to Victoria.
The change of rulers necessitated by
the death of the Queen comes at time
when the empire is beset with dangers
and di@culties. After an era which is

for About Eight Weeks.


for About Eight Weeks.
Frank klufsky, living at Is Pelton al
ley. Cleveland. undertook. about eight
weeks ago. TO starve himself to death. He
has succeeded, and death has come to his
relief. His case is one of the strangest
on record. He was always eccentric, but
he had extraordinary will power. and he
used IT TO degree few people could
equal IN successfully resisting all at
teripts on the part of his wife, friends
hnd physicians to prevent his extraordi-
nary death. At one time he possessed
considerable means, but lost nearly all of
his money and worry over his troubles
weighed heavily on his mind. About eight
weeks ago he announced his intention of
-eiusing to eat He spent the days lying
nn his bed in stuffy little attic room
snd meditating on his troubles. He be-
came savage and morose in disposition
an refused the food his wife prepared.
He fixed his death 10 take place as soon
as he had sold the little property remain
.ng TO him. Recently he made the sale,
turned the $500 which resulted over tc his
wife. and seriously entered on the busi-
hess of dying. True TO his prophecy, he
passed away in less than a week after
the sale.
