London, May liking Edward VII,
who returned to England ftom a va
cation ten days ago in the best 81
health. daed at 11:45 o'clock last
night, in the presence of his family,
after an Illness Of less than week,
which was serious hardly more than
three days.
The Prince of Wales, George Fred
erick, Duke of Cornwall and former
Duke of York, succeeded to the throne
Immediately, according to the laws OF
the kingdom. without official cere-
mony. His first official act was to
dispatch to the lord mayor the an
nouncement of his fathers death, in
pursuance of this custom. His tele'
gram read:
II am deeply grieyed to inform YOU
that my beloved father. the king,
passed away peacefully at 1l.45 to-
night.
1Signed) GEORGE"
The physicians soon afterward IS
sued their official bulletin.
Pneumonia, following bronchitis, is
believed To have been the cause or
death. but the doctors thus lar have
refused to make statement. Some
of the kings friends are convinced
that worry over the critical political
situation which confronted him With
slcepless nights aggravated, ii 1t did
not cause the fatal Illness.
Besides the new restrlctlVes IN
England the Duke OF Fife and Arch
bishop of Canterbury were in the
death chamber. The kings brother
the Duke of Connaught, with his fam
lily, is at Suez, fastening home from
Africa. The kings daughter, Queen
Maud of Norway, will start for Eng
land at once,
All Were Expecting News.
The Intelligence that the end OF
King Edwards reign had come was
not a su prise at the last. The peo-
pie had been expecting to hear it any
hour since the evenings bulletin was
posted at Buckingham palace and
flashed throughout the kingdom. The
capital received it without excite
ment, but sadly, for the king with his
own people was unquestionably one
OF the most popular rulers in the
world They regarded him as one OF
the strongest forces making for the
stability of the peace of the empire
The fashionable restaurants were
just emptying and few groups OF
late theatregoers we're making thell
way homeward through the rain
while small crowd still hung about
the palace, when the streets were
filled suddenly with newsboys shrillS
crying, Death of the King" The pa
pers were quickly seized and the peo
pie discussed the momentus event
quietly and soon dispersed. The
streets we're deserted by o'clock.
Within few minutes after th'
death of the king the home Office wal
telegraphing the intelligence TO heads
of other governments and the diplo
mats and colonial officials Throughout

WHY DRESSES FADE.

Fading is often caused by too hot
irons. The fading of colored articles
is due often, not to the washing, but
the ironing.
Too hot irons are used directly
on the material, and this will fade
delicate cQors more than any amount
OF washing. The effect is even worse
than strong sunlight.
Be sure that the article is evenly
dampened and that the iron is only
hot enough to smooth the wrinkles
properly by firm, even pressure and
you will have no more trouble with
fading.
Skirts must never be ironed across
the cores, but up and down; other
wise the fit of the garment is ruin-
ed.

of it's most precious families; in

of Pottenstein ,Schweinfurt, Carinthie,
Franconia, Olmutz, Pomerania, Zerene
gen, Westphalia, Walchigise, PouilIe,
Thoulouse, Spolette, etc. All these
have contributed toward the being of
our Theodore Roosevelt.
1t is humorously suggested that Col
onel Roosevelt might have been con-
sidered as potential pretender to the
English throne and that for that rea-
son he was placed in "the eighth car
riage back" Moreover the ColoneTs
admiration for one Oliver Cromwell,
to whom he is related by intermar-
riage, is well known.
The question is raised by another
correspondent as to how much royal
blood is required to make a qualified
pretender Ingenious statisticians find
that on the basis of this genealogy Col.
Roosevelt's portion is microscopical-
one drop, perhaps.
Inherited characteristics, however,
do not necessarily depend on the pro
portions of the purple fluid In this
case, heredity may account for more
than Imperialism.
Going little out of the way in the
ColonePs genealogy, it may be seen
that he is a Guelph" just as George
V. is, by descent. 70 his Guelph strain
is attributed the ColoneIs admiration
for large families; for, it may be re-
called, that when Isenbert, feudal lord
of Altorf, Suabia, married Ermentru-
dis, daughter of that Childebrand,
Duke of Schwabia, A. d. 760, and King
of Lombardy, 769-774, and that when,
in due time she gave him the surprise
of his life, for history tells us that
she had twelve sons at one birth, to
this litter Lord Isenbert gave the
name Of welphe, or guelph. One of
these sons became Guelph l., Count of
Altorf and Bavaria, and was the found
er Of the celebrated family, of which
Theodore Roosevelt and King George
V, of England are the present,day dis
tinguished members.
