KING EDWARD VII.
Personal Traits of the Ruler Of One
Quarter of Human Race.

personal traits OF the hulef OF OHe-
Quarter of Human Race.
King Edward VII of England reigns
over about 400,0O0,00O people. or a
quarter Of mankind.
AS prince of Wales his income was
about $500,000; as king he gets about
$4,000 day.
The king. the lord mayor and the
constable Of the tower are the only
persons who know the password Of
the tower Of London. This password
is sent to the Mansion house quarter
ly, signed by the king and is a.
survival of an ancient custom.
Four men in London. all Of re-
spectacle standing in society, go
closely resemble King Edward in APP
pearance that it is often a source Of
embarrassment to them.
Edwards usual incognito when
travelling abroad has been Baron Rem
frew. He has also been known as Mr..
Moulton, and in Constantlnople,
which the prince and princess OF
Wales visited soon after their mar
riage, the pair went about through
the bazars as plain Mr.. and Mrs.
Williams.
How long will the king live?
There Is an old gypsy saying that the
prince of Wales would die by violence
as soon as "a great he nor was con-
ferred upon him" The predictions
of this gypsy are said to have come
true in regard to other members of
European royal families. The king
has never shown the slightest fear
OF assassination. The insurance com
panies are rapidly approaching the
limit of the risk they will accept on
King Edwards life. His expectation,
according to insurance tables, is AL
years. Allowance for moral hazard,
or the chance of assassination. re-
duces this to 10 years.

w c. Dodge Complains That an As

Sidewalk Is HIeSaI-A Report on

DR. c. 3. Robinson. the District Veteri
marian. recently addressed a letter to the
Commissioners relative TO the forage fur
nished by the Fire Department for the
horses placed under his care since July 1,
1909. Dr. Robinson claimed that the guam
tity furnished was insufficient The mat
ter was referred to Joseph Paris while
he was Chief Engineer OF the Fire De
partment and he informed the Commits
sioners that ne had always provided the
amount Of forage necessary, or the
amount which in his judgment was suff1-
Gent
The matter having been referred to the
Veterinarian, ne stated that the amount
of forage named in his letter to the Com
missioners was consumed by the horses
If the department between July l, 1900
and May !, 1901 In forwarding this re-
port to the Commissioners, Robert w
Dutton. Chief Engineer of the Fire De
paTtment, says:
''Dr. Robinson having, in the preceding
endorsement, repeated his declaration that
horses of this department under his care
between July l, 1850, and May l, 1901, l
have the honor to recommend that he be
furnished the amount of forage he states
he provided these horses in excess of that
allowed him, viz, 27z bushels of oats, 1864
pounds of hay, 2,372 pounds of bran, and
$50 pounds of straw
This recommendation was approved and
an order sent to the Auditor, who has Of
fered the following suggestions relative to
the matter:
According to the statement of Chief
Engineer Paris. it was his custom, when
horses OF his department were sent TO
the hospital of District Veterinarian Rob
inson to furnish sufficient forage for their
maintenance during all the time they were
under treatment, and that this was done
during the period covered by the bill IN
question
las this averment is plain and explicit,
I cannot see my way clear to allow Dr.
RobinsOn's bin upon his unsupported
statement. To the end, however, that the
matter may be intelligently considered
and fairly adjusted, l would suggest that
Information be obtained from the records
Of the Fire Department showing the num-
Der of horses treated, the dates, Tespec-
lively. upon which they were sent to the
hospital, and also when they were return
| ed for duty.
/ with this data and a knowledge of the
I average amount of forage required for a
days ration as d basis of calculation. it

/ tory conclusion.
