sonic Lodge in London

There is at least one man In Minct
who has met the late King of En-
gland. Edward VII, then the Prince
of Wales. and he is Capt. Scarlet.
The Captain attended Masonic lodge
in London years ago, and it happened
that the Prince Of Wales chose the
same lodge to attend that night.
Some one within the lodge room re-
ferred to him as the Prince of Wales.
Edward, however, remarked: The
Prince of Wales is outside. Brother
Gulph is within the lodge" After
the close of the meeting, Mr.. Scar
let was introduced to the Prince, who
had travelled extensively in America.
Capt. Scarlet, who at that time was
from Minnesota, spoke OF that part
of the country and the man who af-
forwards became England's ruler.
said he remembered Minnesota as
being on the great frontier, which
it was at that time. He spoke of

were smoothed over by his tact and
discretion.
There 10 no use to pretend that the
nation considers George adequate to
the situation. The general popular
comment regarding him during his
princeship has been invariably Of q
sighting character and in many cases
acontemptuous. Today the newspa-
pers merely express the hope that
the opportunity will develop unex-
pected ability.
On every side fear is expressed that
the contest between the lords and tho
commons may be permitted to degen-
crate into q struggle that may involve
the nation and that the foreign rela-
lions may be complicated to a dan
gerous degree.
The feeling Of apprehension Is az
gravated by the unpopularity Of the
new queen.
Summed up, it is admitted today
that the position of King George
closely resembles that Of Louis XVI
of France, we'll meaning, but appar-
emily mediocre He is raised to the
throne az time of the greatest stress
and financial circles admit their
alarm.
Business men today generally be-
wall the six months Of mourning.
Merchants have been looking forward
to a most profitable social season, but
now face a period of gravest financial
depression. The ruin of thousands or
small tradesmen seems certain. ,.,5
Optimrsts point out, however, that
fears regarding the new reign may be
exaggerated. Intentionally, by com

and in 1892 was made a post captain
ana given the title of Duke Of York.
While lieutenant on the Thunderer
in the Mediterranean, Prince George
met the daughter of a naval officer
with whom it is generally believed he
contracted marriage. Although SOL
emnized by an ordained clergyman,
it was not legal as she was not of
royal blood. Little notice was taken
Of this episode until afted the death
of the Duke of Clarence.
Then, by command OF Queen Vic
toria, Prince George abandoned his
Malta spouse and was welded to
Princess Mary of Teck, who had been
betrothed to his brother.
Prince George and Princess Mary
were married July in the chapel roy
al, St. James. Princess Mary, now
the queen. was born May rs, 1867.
She is her husbands cousin, both on
her fathers and her mothers side.
From birth she was educated, by CON-
mand OF Queen Victoria, as q future
queen OF England.
As Prince of Wales the new king
plainly showed his decided preference
for a country life. He opposed horse
racing, in contrast to his father, but
liked riding, hunting, fishing and golf.
He has shown that public speaking
and pubnc functions generally bored
him. His first public utterances to
attract attention were on his trip to
India in 1901 when his, speeches prais-
ing the colonies and declaring the
time ripe for further relations be-
tween the mother and her children
were received by the people Of the
colonies as indicating a new era for
the empire.
Returning to England by way of
Canada he caused sensation in
London by speech in the ancient
Guild hall. Facing officials and mer.
chants, gathered to welcome him
home. he began the speech which at
tracted worldwide interest. His open
have been asleep too long," sounded
q key note in national scairs. It
has been charged, however, that the
speech was written by . London
newspaper man.
One thing likely to aid him in his
new duties Is the tact that he is more
English than his father, King Ed;
ward was brought up in surroundings
more German than English. To this,
some diplomats attribute the animos.
ity between the late king and his ne
phew, the emperor Of Germany. There
is little personal rivalry between the
new king and the kaiser, and this
gives rise to the hope that there may
be better feeling between the two ma
tons. This is a question on which
there is great division in London to-
day. xA
The domestic character OF the new
king is fawless and he admittedly
has no vices. He has no regal ideas
about money and in many respects is
declared to be stingy and niggardly
His intimates are the oldest of the
British peers and many Of his faith
er's friends are personally obnoxious
to him.
