Eventful Life Ends In Peace and All
England Mourns—^The Cause of the
King’s Was Pneunnonia, Fol-
• lowing Bronchitis.
' King Edward VII, who returned’to
England from a vacation ten days
ago in the best of health, died Fri
day night in the presence of his fam
ily after an illness of less than a<
week, which was^ serious hardly more
than three days.
The Prince of Wales succeeded to
the crown immediately^ according to
the laws of the kingdom, without of
ficial ceremomy. His first official act
was to dispatch to the lord mayor
the announcement* of his father’s
death, in pursuance of custom.
Pneumonia Caused Death.
Pneumonia, following bronchitis, is
believed to have been the cause of
death, but the doctors thus far have
fiom at Marlbcrrough house, June 3.
1866.
Full name of Pri^e, George Fred
erick Ernest Albert; Prince of Wales,
I>uk« of Cornwall, of York and ^
Rothesay, Count of Chester arid ofr-
rick and of Invemess,^^ Baron of ^n-
Irew and of KUlarney.
Became crown prince through death
of his elder bit)ther, the Duke of Clar
ence, in 1892.
Married July 6, 1893, to Princess
May, of Teck.
Has six children: Prince Edward
Albert, heir apparent, now sixteen
years old; Prince Albert, fifteen; Prin
cess Victoria Alexandra, thirteen;
Prince Henry, ten; Prince George
Edward, eight; Prince John Charles,
five. r
Known as good seaman And navi
gator; sx>ent fifteen years in activo

Nickname: **The Sailor Prince.”
KING EDWARD.
refused to make a statement. Some
of the king’s friends are convinced
that worry over the critical political
fiituation which confronted him, with
sleepless nights, aggravated if it did
not cause the fatal illness.
Capital In Sadness,
The intelligence that the end of
King Edward’s reign had come, was
not a surprise at last. The people
had been expecting , it any hour
since the evening’s bulletin was post
ed at Buckingham palace and flashed
throughout the kingdom. The capital
received it without excitement but
sadly, for the king, with his own peo^
pie, was unquestionably one of the
ttost popular rulers in the world.
They regarded him as one of the
strcmgest forces making for the sta
bility of the peace of the empire.
His Last Utterance.
One of the last utterances attribu
ted to King Edward was: “Well, it is
sll over, but I think I have done my
duty.” He seemed then to have reach
ed a full realization that his death
'*'^as appoaching.
The queen and others of the royal
family and four doctors had been con
stantly in the sick rorom throughout
the day. Several houra before his
eath, the king was was in a coma-
ose condition, but he rallied slightly
etween 9 and 10 o’clock and appear-
^ to recognize his family. Then he
apsed into unconsciousness, which
•nded in his passing.

Hadv Youthful Romance.
While King George, since he be
came Prince of Wales and the hus
band of Princess May of Teck, has
been the Ideal of the British father
of a family, ho had his youthful ro-
mancs, ^
When he was a lieutenant In the
navy and his ship was laid up at^al-
ta three months for repairs, he met
the beautiful daughter of a naval of
ficer, said at the time to be Miss
Seymour; fell in love with and mar
ried her. The marriage, although it
was solemnized by a clergyman, was
not legal in the light of an act o!
parliament regulating the marriages
of those of royal blooJ. The B;'it-‘
llh admiralty also to?k occasicm to
deny that there had been a marriare.
There were children born of this
‘match—whether two or three, is not
known outside of circles intimately
connected with the royal family.
Young George was very happy and
very much In love with,^hi|».^.if^.,_j^
But the i5uke of cSarindeT^ died a
inonth before the date set for his mar
riage to the Princess May of Teck,
and George became the crown prince.
Immediately it was seen that he
would have to contract a marriage
with one of royal blood in order that
there might be a direct heir to the
throne of royal blood.
Queen Victoria' took charge of the
situation. She decreed that George,
then duke of York, should marry the
Princess May. The prince, deeply in
Icrve with his wife, rebelled. He want
ed his marriage legalized by parlia
ment. Queen Victoria would not hear
of any compromise. They forced him
to marry the Princess May.\
The “Lady of Malta,” as the com
moner wife of the prince was called,
•/as gently put aside. She was well
provided for, and her children Will
always have their every want grati
fied—every wish but the natural wish
that they may enjoy the companion-
shii) of their father.

the railroad track and was directly in

boy bandit, was found guilty of mur
der at Gorydon, Ind., and sentenced
to life impriscmment.'

at noon through crowded streets. In
the bank he became excited, shot
and killed Cashier J. Hangary Faw
cett, wounded President J. K. Wood
ward and also the' negro chauffeur.
Without securing any money from
the bank he dashed from the bank
and attempted to cross the Ohio riv-
«er in a skiff^ being captured in mid
stream by the police. His remarka
ble nerve greatly/helped the police
in saving him from threateiied lynch-
ing.
Mental defectiveness was his de
