CAREER OF EDWARD VII.,

KING OF GREAT BRITAIN

England's dead king. Edward VII..whose full title was "king of theUnited Kingdom of Great Britain andIreland, and or all the British domin-ions beyond the seas, emperor of In-dia," was the eldest son and the sec-ond child of Queen Victoria and A-lbert, the prince consort. He was bornNovember 1. 1841, in Buckingham pal-ace and was christened Albert Ed-ward.

At his birth he was created princeof Wales and by virtue of that dig-nity he became also knight of the gar-ter. As nelr apparent to the Britishthrone be succeeded to the title ofduke of Cornwall and Its emoluments,and as heir to the crown of Scotlandhe became great steward of Scotland,duke of Rothesay, earl of Carrlck,baron of Renfrew and lord of the Isles.Cn September 10. 1849, he was createdearl of Dublin, this title being con-ferred on him and bis heirs in per-petuity. Among the other titles andcommands held by Edward were dukeof Saxony, colonel of the Tenih bus-Bar- s,

colonel-in-chie- f of the Rifle bri-gade, field marshal of the Britisharmy and field marshal of the Ger-man army.

The prince received a most elabo-rate, broad and carefully planned edu-cation. At first he was under thecharge of four private tutors, and sub-sequently his education was directedby Baron Stockmar and CharlesKingslcy. In order to give him ataste of college life, he was sent forone session to the University of Ed-inburgh, for one year to Oxford andfor four terms to Cambridge. Duringthese years he acquired a wide gen-eral knowledge of the arts and sci-

ences and became quite proficient Inmodern languages.

In 1860 the prince made a tour ofthe United States and Canada andthe next year he joined the Britisharmy at Curragh camp, Ireland. In1SC2 he set out on his travels again.this time visiting Jersualem and oth-er places of biblical Interest Hiscompanion on the trip was Dean Stan-Ic- y

of Westminster.Edward's public life began In Feb-

ruary. 1S63. when, as heir to thethrone, he took his 6eat in the bouseof lords. On March 10 of the sameyear be married Princess AlexandraCaroline Mary Charlotte Louise Julia,the eldest daughter of King ChristianIX. of Denmark. Her beauty, graceand charming manners at once gaveher a popularity In Great Britain thathas continued unlessencd throughouther life as princess and queen. In1S75-7-C the prince made an extendedtour tnrough the Indian empire andwas received everywhere with lavishand magnificent hospitality, the nativerulers seeking to outdo one anotherIn the gorgeousness of the entertain-ments provided for the emperor

Absolute Rest."Clyde Fitch was an indefatigable

worker." said an actor who has playedIn many of the Fitch comedies."When he had a play on the stockshe would labor over It day and night,often scarcely pausing for his meals,and getting very little sleep. Conse-quently his health suffered. Hewould work until on the verge or anervous breakdown, and then bis phy-

sician would step in and force him toknock off.

"During one of these periods of en-

forced idleness he was lounging in thePlayers club one day when Harry B.Smith, the prolific comic opera libret-tist, strolled in.

"What are you doing now? askedSmith.

"'I'm In ray doctor's nanus.' repliedFitch. 'He tells me I'm In a bad way.and has absolutely forbidden me to uuany brain work.'

'That's tough." said Smith. 'Howdo you manage to put in the time?'

'Oh. I'm writing the libretto of amusical comedy. replied Fitcb withoue of his cynical smiles."

After some weeks of thegreatest anxiety, he recovered, andthe coronation took plar August 9.

During the long years of his prince-hoo- d

Edward's public duties consistedsolely In the office of representing theroyal family at all manner of public

J events, and he performed these duties welL But the deadly monotonyof such a life was too much for thevigorous man. and he found relaxa-tion In amusements that frequentlygave rise to scandals and that gavethe world a wrong impression of hisreal character. He was esneclallvfond of the theater and among hisooon companions tor years were ac-tresses and actors. Also he devel-oped a great liking for Paris and oftenvisited that gay capital Incognito.The Riviera and Biarritz likewise werefamiliar with the face of the prince ofWales.

But all this, as has been --aId. wasonly bis relaxation, and after comingto the throne bis conduct always wasso circumspect that not the most cap-tious critic could find any fault with it.

As a diplomat Edward was unex- -

His was tothe side of International peace wherecompatible with national honor, andhis advice and example had a steady-ing effect on all Europe. He lookedwith amused tolerance on the va-

garies and extravagances of his nephew, the emperor of Germany, but oc-casionally that ruler exasperated himto such an extent that he could notrefrain from giving him soma sternadvice. Such admonition was not re-

ceived by William in a submissivespirit, and once In a while there weresensational rumors that the peacefulrelations between the two countrieswere about to be ruptured.

The development of the king's char-acter In his Inter years was espe-cially gratifying to the nation In addition to the love of his people, which r

he had always had. he gained theiradmiration and respect. They had theutmost confidence in his good judg- -

ment. as was amply exemp'ified dur-ing the late crisis over the budget, i

and they were always sure he woulddo the right thing at the right time.

To Edward and Alexandra wereborn six children. The first PrinceAlbert, duke of Clarence, died in 1832. I

aged twenty-eigh- t years. The second.George Frederick Ernest Albert, bornon June 3. 1S65. succeeds to thethrone. The other children are:

t

Princess Louisa Victoria, married tothe duke of Fife; Princess VictoriaAlexandra: Princess Maude Charlotte,married to Prince Charles of Den-

mark, and Prince Alexander Jonn.who died the day after his birth in1S71.

"They are good." said Mr. BoldL "Atthe price they are remarkably good.The Swiss are a nation of hotel keep-ers.

together. A vote had been taktn. andthe intense silence preceding the
