WORRIED BY OLD PROPHECIES
Kings Health Probably Affected by
Astrologers' Predictions.

The New York Herald says:
King Edwards Illness has recalled the
many predictions that have been made that
he would never be crowned. These dismal
prophecies have been especially frequent
during the last year. The time for the full
illment of some of them has passed, but
others still pending, and his failure to
recover from the operation certainly would
be regarded by the believers in prophecies
as another proof of their value.
That the king himself was not oblivious
TO the words of the prophets and that he
was not free from forebodingS has been
mentioned often trait in his character.
Ever since the death of Queen Victoria, il
is said, he has been haunted by a super
stitious fear that he would not live to be
crowned. Reports have been current in
London since his accession that he often
bTooded over the predictions of evil that
had been made about him. and that he was
unable to shake his mind free of them.
1t is said the prophecy that gave the king
The most uneas:ness was made at about the
| time of his birth, and ran as follows:
king shall Edward be, but never shall
be crowned"
As the date of the coronation approached
his thoughts required with increasing fire.
quency. it is said. to this propht cy.
Another prediction was made by a gypsy
crone in London before Queen Victoria s
death. The woman had achieved some fame
by making predictions which had beer
proved true in regard TO other reigning fam
lilies in Europe. She said:
THE Prince of Wales will be killed as
soon as q great honor has been conferred
upon him.
Henriette Couesdon, who pretended to be
able to talk with the Angel Gabriel, and who
attracted much attention in Paris in 1896 is
said to have predicted that King Edward
would not reign for long and that he would
die in 1902 after a surgical operation"
Mile. Couesdon at the same time pred cted
| the German emperor would meet a violent
death in 1902.
Raphael London astrologer, at the
beginning of the present year, said the
planets were unfavorable to King Edward.
and he added: LET great care be taken of
his majesty's health and person."
Another astrologer, who called himself
Zadkiel, drew a horoscope Of the king at
| the time of his birth. in 1S41 1t was of the
non-committal kind, that might be twisted
by the superstitious into a prediction of
| what has happened. but no details were
! given.

1901. An attempt was to be made upon his
| life by socialists, according to this predic-
| ton. which, of course, did not turn out ,
| be true.
There have been few omens of a gloomy
kind. excepting the persistent rain in Eng
land, which disarranged the program OF the
kings engagements. 1t has been made a
subject OF comment that June &c the day
| selected for the coronation. was the ami
yersary OF the death OF George w. Thu

queen Victoria, but she insisted that il be
deferred until June %. 1t was also pointed
out by the superstitious that in the program
of Fridays procession in the thirt zenith car
rage were to be seated the Duke OF d'Aostl
or Italy, Archduke Francis Ferdina nd
OF Austria and Hereditary Grand Duks.
Michael of Russia, all representatives OF
dynasties who have felt the hand Of the as
sassin.
When the white coronation robes were
decidtd on 1t was pointed out that they had
only been used on three occasions and,
curiously enough, each wearer came to a
violent end. Richard III was crowned in
white satin. Next was the unfortunate
Henry VI. Despite the strong persuasion OF
the Earl of Pembroke. Charles / was also
invested al his coronation in white satin.

Prince Of Wales, Britain's
Future Sovereign.
SAILOR BY TRAINING
MAN OF TACT AND ENERGY IN
HIS ROYAL ROLE.
Good Public Speaker and Has Will of
His Own-Sketch of
Career.
SAILOR BY TRAININ G

George Frederick Ernest Albert, Priace of
Wales and heir to the British throne, pre-
scented from his early childhood a striking
contrast to his elder brother, the Duke of
Clarence, who died in 1892. The latter was
pale, pensive, retiring, but with a singular
grace of manner and department that never
forsook him; the other was rudy of coun-
tenance, full of brightness and brusque
vivacty. The features of the elder were
finely cut, in close resemblance to those of
his father at the same early age. Prince
George, on the other hand, bears striking
likeness to Queen Alexandra's sister, the
Empress Dowager of Russia, and to Gear
Nicholas II, not only in the general form
and cast of countenace, but also IN detail
of feature and expression.
Throughout their boyhood the two broth
ordinary intimacy and sympathy existed
between Them and each eXerted marked
influence over the other.
Together they entered the navy as cadets,
on June 5, 1877. Prince George had only
reached the required age two days before.
For two years they were on the training
ship Dartmouth, the younger winning a
reputation for athletic prowess unusual for
his age. Then, on July 10, 1879, they set out
on three years voyage in the Bacchante.
They visited the West Indies, South Ameri-
ca, the Cape, Australia, Fiji, Japan, China,
Singapore and Ceylon. The Bacchante was
the Mediterranean, and considerable
period of time was spent by the princes in
Egypt, the Holy Land and Greece during
the spring of 1882

He Is good public speaker. Speaking
offhand at Quebec during his tour of the
world in 1901 he said:

beneficial results on the life of the people
concerned. Creditsbe as this achievement

Feelingly of Mckinley.

In Quebec, upon the occasion of the as
sassination of President Mckinley, Prince
George said:
Il take this the first opportunity to eX-
press in common with the whole civilized
world my horror at the detestable crime
which has plunged into mourning the great
friendly nation on your border and has
robbed the United States of their first
magistrate in the midst of the fulfllment
of the high and honorable duties of his
proud position. The duchess and I share
with you to the fullest extent the feelings
of sympathy which you have manifested
toward a people with whom we are con-
nected by ties of friendship and of ma
tional esteem, and our hearts go out to
the widow and bereaved family of the la te
distinguished and beloved President
Prince George bears a striking resem-
blance to his aunt. the Empress Dowag ger
Of Russia, not only in general form and
cast of countenance but in disposition and
expression.

Advanced in the Navy.

After returning to England Prince George
went with his brother to Switzerland. They
lived at Lausanne six months. Then, on
May 1, 1888, Prince George was appointed
mioshipman on the Canada, which was then
commissioned for service on the North
American and West Indian stations. Be
sides visiting many other places in the do
minion and North America, he assembled the
St. Lawrence as far as Montreal. During
the ensuing winter the Canada cruised
among the West Indian Islands and visited
Demerara and British Guiana.
Shortly after this Prince George became
the senior midshipman in the service and
was waiting till his age allowed him to
present himself for examination sub
lieutenant. This he did on the earliest day
possible, his twenty-frst birthday, June a,
1884 when he obtained first-class certifi-
cate in Seamanship.
On returning home he joined, as sublieu-
tenants have to do, the Naval College at
Greenwich for further instruction, and sub
sequently went on the ship Excellent at
Portsmouth. Here he went through the
course exactly like anybody else. Every
sublieutenant has to pass five eXamina-
tions-one each in seamanship, in naviga-
tion in torpedo work, in gunnery and in
pilotage. In four of these Prince George
achieved the unusual distinction of obtain
ing a first-class certificate, and thus won
his promotion to lieutenant's rank on Octo-
Der 8, 1885.

The BlJou Opening.


Amid a scene Of sp1endor the old Au-
ditorium was reIegated to the past and
the Bijou opened to the present and fu-
ture last night. The new house is only
recognizable when one looks at the bal
cony and the gallery. so many changes
have been made on the lower floor. The
entrace has been removed entirely and a
new entrance made by which one walks
up one flight of stairs. A portion of the
first floor has been replaced with boxes
and loges and the effect entirely changed
leaving color and life to take the place
of the old-time space.
The audience which welcomed Mr..
Wells last night was the largest possi-
BILE for the house to hold. All the boxes
and the parquet were filed while the
balcony and gallery were both packed
with enthusiastic listeners.
The bill was altogether one Of the most
satisfactory offerings to be had in the
vaudeville world. While not made up en-
trely of shining stars, each act was
capably rendered. Felix and Barry,
George and Lydia, who have been adj
vertised as the headliners, proved an at
tractive looking pair when they first
made their entrance. The grown worn
by Miss Barry was stunning and her
song brought forth the enthusiasm and
applause of the audience. Not so much
the song. one should say. but its words
She also appeared, after a short turn
of athletic exhibition by Mr. Felix, in an
other charming gown and the sketch Of
the two caused much laughter
Miss Imogene Conner, the descriptive
vocalist. was very effective. Her voice,
a eontralto, was In excellent condition
and her renditions were loudly applaud
ed. They were married. however, by bad
playing of the music. The Sisters Gebest
proved an attractive and graceful pair.
Their grace, in fact, being the most
marked feature of their act The Tan
cans did an excellent musical speciality
the comedy Of the male member being
refreshing. The Broadway Trio are GER
tainly not from Broadway. They are
hardly up to the standard Of some 9TH
ers on the bill, or 1t may be that poor
speciality spoiled good actors.
Arthur Suckner, the young bicyclist,
did the same act as shown here last sea-
son. with the same grace, daring and
cleverness. He is possibly the cleverest
cyelist on the vaudeville stage Crane
Brothers have added Mr. Belmont to
themselves and are now doing pleasing
act. The three are excellent Midtown
minstrels.
