English parents were staying in Flor

after the city of her birth. She was
gently nurtured and as a girl was
chief almOner and nurse to the cot
tagers around her home. When her
family went to London and she was
presented at court she took greater in

London than in its social gayeties, and
her sympathy for the suffering led her

KING OSCAR II.

His Unique Position For Many Years
as Ruler of Two States.
History contains few parallels to the
case Of Oscar H.. king of Sweden and
until few days since of Norway. For
thirty three years he ruled over these
two countries. which in 1914 were unit
ed under the government of one mon
arch, but otherwise remained separate
and sovereign states, with different
parliaments, armies and navies. The
union gave rise to many sources of
friction, especially in the matter of
foreign affairs ana The consular serv-

pendent largely on maritime industries,

this plan resulted in the action taken
by the Norwegian storthing on June Z.
declaring that be was no longer king

King Oscar is seventy-six years old

bit has been Russian for Il century
and half and derives its title from
the Russian government. The count is
siXty-eight years of age and entered
the diplomatic service of Russia at
eighteen. He has held many diplo-
matte posts and previous to coming to
the United States was Russian min
lister at Peking.
1t was through the American am
bassador at st. Petersburg, George Won
Lengerke Meyer, that the good Offices
of President Roosevelt were extended
to the Russian emperor. Mr.. Meyer
was recently the representative of the
United States in Italy and was pro
NOTED to the Russian embassy shortly
after Mr.. Roosevelt's inauguration last
March. He was born in Boston, In
1858, is Harvard graduate and was

spent much more than his salary in
keeping up the dignity of the United
States at foreign courts. Count Lams-
dorff, Russias minister of foreign af
fairs, is one Of the shrewdest diplo-
mats in Europe.
1t is expected that one of the most
important questions to figure in ne
gotiations for peace will be that of the
indemnity to be paid by Russia to
Japan. The Franco-P -Prussian war in
1901 lasted nine months, and to
secure peace France was compelled TO
