London. By Cable. King Edward
TIL who returned to England from
a vacation ten Jays ago in the best of
health, died at 11:45 o'clock Friday
nizht in the presence of his family
after an illness of less than a week,
which ws3 serious hardly more than
three days.
The Prince of Wales succeeded to
the throne immediately, according to
tie laws of the kiasdom, without of
ficial ceremony. His first official act
na to despatch to the Lord Mayor
the announcement of hi3 father's
fcath, in pursuance of custom.
Pneumonia, following bronchitis, is
believed
to have been the cause of
fcath, but the doctors thus far have
refused to rsake a statement. Some
the Kir. 'g friends are convinced
that worry over the critical political
situation which confronted him, with
fceepkss nishts, aggravated if it did
not cause the fatal illness.
One cf the last utterances attrib
uted to Kb? Edward was:
"Well, it i3 all over, but I think I
tave done my duty."

News Withheld Half aa Hour.
The body lies in the King's chan
ber in the northwest wing of Buck
ingham palace, which is brilliantly
lighted, while the rest of the great
gloomy building, with the exception
of Lord Knollys' office, is entirely
darkened. It was nearly half an
hour after the King breathed his last
when Lord Knollys walked into the
office and said to the waiting report
ers: "Gentlemen, His Majesty is dead."
Coming so suddenly, the death of
the Knrg cannot but bring the
greatest sorrow to the nation, in
whose hearts Edward, first as Prince
of. Wales and afterwards as sovereign
held first place. His short reign of
9 years has been a history of stirring
times. It opened with the conclusion
of peace after a long and trying
campaign in South Africa and con
cludes at the crucial moment of one
of the most . momentous political
struggles of modern times between
the Peers and Commons. In a day
the political outlook of Great Britain
has been revolutionized.
The Prasidsnt's Condolence.
President Taft, upon learning of
the death of King Edward, wrote the
following message of condolence to
Her Majesty Queen Alexandria, and
cabled to Buckingham palace:
"On the sad occasion of the death
of King Edward, I offer to your
majesty and to your son, his
illustrious successor, the most pro
found sympathy of the people and
of the government ' ot the United
States whose hearts go out to their
British kinsmen in this, their na
tional Ibexeavemcnt. To this I add
the expression to your majesty and
to the new King of my own personal
sympathy and of my apreciation of
those high qualities which made the
life of the King so potent an in
fluence toward peace and justice
among the nations."

HISTORY KING EDWARD
SKETCH KING GEORGE.
KING EDWARD VIL
King of the united kingdom
of all the British dominions.be-
of all the British domainions be-
yond the Vseas, emperor of India. ?
Born in Buckingham palace,
London, Nov. 9, 1841.
Second child and eldest son of
Queen Victoria and Prince Con-
sort Albert.
At . 7 weeks old he was creat-
ed prince of Wales.
As heir apparent to the -throne
he. succeeded to the title of duke
of Cornwall and its rich emolu-
ments. 7
As heir to the crown of Scot-
land, he became great steward of
Scotland, duke of Rothesay, earl
of Carrick, baron of Renfrew,
and lord 6f the isles.
In 3849 he was created earl
of Dublin.
He was also duke of Saxony,
colonel of the Tenth Hussars,
cflonel-in-chief of the Rifle Bri-
grade, and field marshal' both in
e the Bi'itish and German armies.
He was educated by private
tutors and at Edinburg univer-
sitjT, Oxford and Cambridge.
- In 1860 he made a tour of the
United States and Canada.
In 1862 he made a trip to the
Orient.
Began public life in January,
1863, as a member of the house
of lords.
He was married March 10,
1863, to Princess Alexandra, old-
est daughter of King Christian
of Denmark.
The had six children.
In 1872 he narrowly escaped
death as a result of a typhoid
fever attack.
Elected grand master of the
Free Masons in 1874.
He made an extended tour
through the Indian empire in
1875-1876.
He succeeded Queen Victoria
Jan. 22, 1901; crowned Aug. 9,
1902.
The civil list of the king was
fixed in 1901 at $2,284,200 a
year.
Was the most traveled monarch
of Europe.
Edward VII was one of the great
est royal diplomats the world has
ever known, a force tor peace and
justice:
His death at a crisis in the history
of England removes a. wise and
bejneficent ruler, who by tact and
discretion ever advanced the in
terests of his own country and pro
moted harmony in the concert of
nations.
Naturally of a quick, impulsive and
energetic disposition, a man of ac
tion, who for nearly four decades
was obliged to hold his powers in
restraint, he became not the "Merry
Monarch" the wiseacres believed he
would be, but a wise, tactful and
able kfng. He came of an earnest
and practical race, which, although
it wore the insignia of royalty, was
democratic at heart,
Because cf the long reign of the
illustrious Queen Victoria, he was,
with the exception of William IV,
the oldest monarch who ascended the
English throne since Egbert assum
ed that dignity nearly 1200 years ago.
In honor of his father and maternal
grandfather, the royal infant was
christened Albert- Edward. He was
always known by both names while
prince of Wales, and was called
"Bertie" in the family circle. As
king he chose to adopt a good old
English name and rule, as Edward
VIL .
His German father and mother be
lieved that -children, no matter tq
what rank they were to attain in
later years, should be reared to un
derstand that the accident of birth
should be no source of pride. Instead
of a long string of names he was
christened simply Albert, after his
father, and Edward for his grand
father, the Duke of Kent. The
Prince Consort, in drawing up direc
tions for the guidance of the teachers
of his boy, closed with these words:
"Your great aim shall be to build
up a noble and princely character, in
intelligent sympathy with the best
movements of the age."
He was 19 years old when he made
a trip to Canada and the United
States. He readily brought himself
into line with the spirit of the new
world. He had the tact to set aside
exclusiveness and ceremony of court
life and to mingle freely with the
people. His unaffected manner and
good fellowship won for him thou
sands of friends.
In 1863 as prince of Wales, he
formally entered public lite as a
member of the house of lords. It
was, too, the year of .his marriage.
The bride was Princess Alexandra
Caroline Mary Charlotte Louisa Julio,
oldest daughter of the late King
Christian of Denmark. Six children
were born, two of whom have died.
Military operations during his
reign were limited to the expedition
against Tibet and fighting with na
tives in South Africa and on the
frontier of India. Otherwise Eng
land has been at peace with the world.
In the field of, world politics his
influence was steadily cast on tne
side of peace. He held the nation in
check during the storm f public

The New King.
During the last trip abroad made
by his tfather, King Gkorge, then
prince of Wales, had to take on his
shoulders some of the kingly duties.
The result startled England.
The new king previously had heen
best known for the things he didn't
do. Even" the most loyal supporters
of the royl family did not take him
seriously! Good-hearted,- quiet, re
served, unenergetic, perhaps a little
negative this was the general esti
mate. But when Prince George . took the
tiller, he forced his critics to admit
they had underestimated him. He
showed evidences of careful study of
European and colonialconditions, he
was widely read on every subject. He
made speeches that were clear,
straight-forward, illuminating and
forceful. He showed hmself one of
the best informed men in England on
naval affairs.
Previously an extraordinary igno
rance prevailed, even in England,
about the future ruler. He wasn't
the striking, showy personality that
his father was. He didn't set styles
for. the world. He was not a gallant.
He avoided the limelight.
The marriage of Prince George and
the princess was at the wish of
Queen Victoria.
The new King of England was
known as the sailor prince. He went
to sea while still a young boy, and
has gone through'every grade of the
navy service. He has cruised
around the world and made a long
trip in visiting all the British col
onies in 1901,
Queen May, whose full name is
Victora Mary,- was destined for a

against the Bank of Orange, Hills

ier Collins charged that he drew a
draft on the Bank of Orange fraud
ulently, knowing that he had no
funds there. One of the expressions
that the plaintiff charges Cashier Col
lins with having used in defaming
him was, ' ' Where is that preachei

San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua. A
large part of Cartago, Costa Rica, was
destroyed by a powerful seismic
movement. Details are very meager,
as the telegraph wires have been lev
eled between San Jose Cartago. The
operators at the latter , place were
killed.
It is known that at least 900 per
sons are dead and many hundreds in-
jured. Scores of buildings were also
thrown down, among them the Palace
of Justice, erected by Andrew Car
negie. The earthquake came without warn
ing and continued about eighteen sec
onds. In that brief space of time
the buildings of the place collapsed,
burying hundreds of persons.
Following the shock, twilight was
turned to the darkness of midnight
by clouds of dust that rose from the
ruins. Panic ensued and the cries of
the injured and fleeing survivors fill
ed the air.
Earth shocks were also felt a sev
eral points in Nicaragua near tho
Costa Kican frontier. Reports reach
ing here state that there is much suf- -fering
and destitution at Cartago, con-;
sequent upon the disaster.
Cartago, capital of Cartago prov
ince, lies at the foot of Irazu volcano,
about 14 miles from San Jose. It has .
an estimated population of 10,000 and
is the seat of the Central American
peace court for the home of " which
Andrew Carnegie donated a large
sum.
Cartago was the capital of the coun
try until 1825. It has suftere l f re

1723, 1803, 1825, 1841, 1851 and 1854. :
On April 13 last a series of earth-
quakes, varying in intensity, swept

material damage, but practically with
out loss of life. San Jose suffered most
severely
Washington, D. C. Central Ameri
can diplomats were thrown inta con

Btruction of Cartago. At the Costa
Rican legation here, Minister Calvo
received word that the city had been
practically destroyed; that nine hun
dred persons were dead and many
hundred injured as a result of the
disturbance. Further, the minister
was informed by the department of
foreign affairs, the shocks have not

life is confined to Cartago.
