JESSIE HILL MISSION.

Mrs. Clark Hill and Mrs. Edward
Pfinniger of Hudson, Mich, have
been the guests of John Swartz and
family the past week. Mrs. Hill is
very dear to the memory of Hobart
people, for through her undivided ef-
fort for the cause of Christ, she
started the little mission at Hobart
IA years ago, a branch of the Memoir
ial Baptist in East Toledo, to COM
memorate the death of her little
daughter, Jessie, who has gone to
the great beyond.
Ten years ago she left her much
IoSed home here, where she had or
gailized the Sabbath school, which
has since been in progress, to reside
in Toledo, and afterwards removed to
Hudson where she now resides.
Two years ago successful revival
was held here and last year church
was established. After an absence
of seven years she was again in our
midst and viewed with pride the good
work that had been done as the re-
suit of the seed she had sown.

For many years as Prince Of Wales
Edward represented Queen Victoria at
various state and social functions
which, according to previous custom,
should have been attended by the
reigning monarch. Thus, though he
waited long beyond the. average ex-
pectancy to wear the crown himself,
he was the central figure Of the empire
In public long before he became king.
In the latter years of Queen victo-
ria's life there was little expectation
that her eldest son would survive her.
Several times he was reported as suf-
fering serious illnesses. Even his coro-

into history as benevolent sovereign.
Such was the simple serenity Of Ed
wards reign that scandals tongue,
which in his earlier years busted itself
nightly concerning some of his do

ceased to wag Croakers who saw
evil portents in some elements OF his
career as Prince of Wales quit croak-

settled down In an earnest and sue

by Edwards personality and aimed
their shafts of denunciation at rulers
who ruled with rods of less flexible

In Buckingham palace Nov. 9, 1S41,
being the eldest son and second child
Of Victoria and the prince consort, AL

after his birth he was created Prince
of Wales as heir apparent, and he
held that title for more than fifty-nine
years. Edward was man of broad

Invented Manhattan Cocktail.

King Edward was accredited with
several inventions, among them being
the o'clock tea and the cocktail. The
latter, 1t may be remarked, has be-
come more popular in America than
the former. The kings cocktail Is
said TO have been almost Identical
with the Manhattan Of today. Yet
King Edward was said to be rather
abstemious in regard to liquors.
A year before the death of Queen
Victoria the private secretary of Ed
ward wrote his biography, from which
these interesting facts are condensed:
He never allows a typewriter in his
house.
He spends $1,000 a year for tele-
grams.
He allows only two knives and forks
to each guest at his table.
He is a colonel eight times over.
He has one private secretary, two
assistant secretaries and a staff of
clerks to assist them.
He receives 200 letters a day and an
swers most of them.
Every minute OF his time in London
Is spent according to schedule.
He has every order Of knighthood In
Europe.
His uniforms are worth $4,000.
He Is field marshal and an admiral.
He Is the chief horse owner, dog
owner and yachtsman In England.
He goes to church every Sunday
morning.
He never goes to the races on Sun
day.
He started life with an income Of
$50, 1000 year.
He says he has no debts.
He loves to travel incognito In Paris.
He buys hundreds of theater tickets

He thinks his nephew, the German

years the two brothers were rarely IL

Shielded From Public Gaze.

As boy the new king from his ear
Hest days enjoyed good health. The
first eighteen years of his life were
spent in close and constant compan-
ionship with his brother, the late Duke
of Clarence. But even in the nursery
the younger Of the two boys took the
lead, and as they grew bigger in the
happy simplicity Of their fathers Nor
folk home, where, with the exception
Of short visits to Osborne and Aber-
geldie, their childhood was almost
wholly spent, 1t was Prince George
who was first and foremost In fun and
games. From the public much Of the
home life of royalty is carefully hid,
and their father was always studfous-
" anxious that his boys should grow
up as simply as possible. All the re-
tanners at Sandringham were forbid
den to show the lads unusual defer
ence, and they were carefully shielded
from the public gaze. Prince George
therefore enjoyed the advantages
which most country gentlemen can
give their sons, but little more than
these. With the Rev. ]. n. Dalton as
their governor the two princes spent a
happy English boyhood, and it was de-
cided that neither Of them should pass
through public school experiences. At
the same time care was taken to avoid
sffeminacy.

The present generation can hardly

chain, huge and conspicuous tie pins
and diamond studs. Lord Beacons-

sometimes had f100 worth of gold and
precious stones displayed upon his
person. The practice led young men
into extravagances they could i'll Gf-

due largely to the king, who always
sternly discOuntenanced such foolish
eXtravaganceS.
His preference was always for claret
and light wines. so heavy and I'M

only exception made in their favor be-
ing that they were accommodated with
tween them on the upper deck. In
every other respect the lads conform
ed to the regular discipline Of the ship.
His friends trace back to the life on
the Britannia that love Of the sea
which gave the king, like his great
uncle William ". and his uncle the
Duke of Edinburgh, the title of "our
sailor prince" This, the first time
the young princes had associated with
boys of their own age, must have pos
sessed all the charm of novelty, but in
spite Of hardy training it must have
been a great change from Sandring
ham TO the Britannia. The morning
bath, generally over the side into
the sea, Prince George leading, would
be followed by half an hours drift;
then prayers would be read at 8 o'clock
before the ships company, breakfast
following.
The duties of the ensuing day In
cluded, besides instruction In DOCKS,
initiation into the mysteries Of knot
ting and splicing. The two princes
were placed in the starboard watch
and had to work their way up. Prince
George evinced considerable aptitude
for mathematics. Simple fare and open
air life conduced to vigorous develop
ment. In 1879 both brothers passed
out Of the Britannia and went away
to sea together under Lord Charles
Scott In the Bacchante. On one OF the
stops made ashore Prince George won
the hearts Of the populace by feeding
with cake little child whose father,
4 cody, had been holding him up pa
tiently for two hours in order that he
might see the princes.
