mlrted a lapse even in his most dem.
ocratic moments, and his wide expert
ence of public affairs and general
sound sense. In his short reign of
little more than nine years, he set
his stamp on the face of Europe and
in a general way on the affairs of the
world. Although the constitutional
sovereign of the United Kingdom
has less actual power than the presi-
dent of the United States, Edward by
his tactful activity, large views and
keen interest in public matters,
wrought new alliances of friendship
and of polity, and made peace where
there was actual friction and where
war was often looked for, He did this
to the intense satisfaction not only
of England, but of the greater part
of the world.
The king is survived by Queen
Alexandra and four children. The
latter include Prince George Fred

ity of the crown to curb the peers
powers.
From social and business view.
Edward VII, king of England and
emperor Of India, who died in his
sixty-ninth year, was born in Buck
ingham palace in 1S41. He was edu-
Gated by private tutors and at Edin-
burg university, oxford and Cam
bridge.
In the shadow Of the throne he
lived an almost uneventful life. While
waiting for the scepter and royal
robes he had little chance to show
what kingly metal was in him.
The world knew him only as Jolly
prince, who had done nothing very
good nor any great evil. A notable
feature of his life was his fondness
for sports. He had raced horses, sail
ed yachts, shot birds, played cards
and gambled more or less, and with
more or less discretion.
He might have come to the throne
as Albert /, starting a new line of
kings, but many years ago he an
nounced that when he ascended the
throne he would use his second name,

ty, or of reigning, he yet at his cor.
onation gave London a spectacle of
such traditional magnifcence that it's
splendor was described as verging on
what the modern democrats like to
call "barbaric." He brought back a
life to the English courts which his
reclusive mother in the long years Of
her widowhood never permitted it to
attain, and he gave London live
iier note after the official year OF
mourning for Queen Victoria was end
ed and when his own health permit
ted him to take life freely again.
The queen died at Osborne, Isle Of
Wight, on Jan. %, 1901, at half-past
six in the evening, and Edward took
the oath the next day before the
privy council and proclaimed king.

ritz, and again reports came out from
there that his health was far from
good. The reports received a certain
sort of non-official confirmation when
the king abandoned his announced
purpose to go with Queen Alexandra
on yachting cruise In the Mediter-
ranean, on the return from which, 1t
was said, he purposed paying with
the queen return visit to King Man
uel of Portugal. The next news that
the world got after the king had gone
back to London was on May 5, when
the dispatches announced that he
was unable to go to the railway sta
tion to meet the queen on her re-
turn from visit on the continent.
Edward the Peacemaker.
Were the titles of earlier centuries
still popular he might go down in his
tory as Edward the Peacemaker, or
he might be known as Edward the
Tactful. He turned the traditional
enmity of France toward England
into something like a real friendly
understanding; he brought about bet.
ter relations with Spain and between
France and Spain. He won the friend
ship OF Italy. He brought England
and Russia into close relations after
Russia's defeat by the Japanese, and
after accomplishing the feat of isolat-
ing Germany, through this chain of
international understandings" when
Germany was generally regarded as
the most likely of all the powers to
precipitate war. he rounded up his
work by endeavors that were more
or less successful to bring about
more friendly feelings between Eng
land and Germany itself. Never
seeking to diminish the might of Eng
land, he was aided in his peace mis-
sions by the personal popularity he
