EDWARD THE FIRST.
ONE OF THE GREATEST OF
ENGLISH RULERS.
III! Life Win rora and Simple The
Justlulan of England Career as a
Warrior Hl Character and Appear-
ance When the present King of England
selected the title of Edward VII he
perpetuated a name that has long
been glorious in British annals. The
son of Henry III and Eleanor of
Piovence who was born June 17 1239
at Westminster was the first Eng-
lish king to bear the name. He was
fondly nicknamed "Longshanks" by
his subjects. He was more justly
termed the English Justinian as his
fame rests to a great extent on his
codification of English law. As a
soldier he was able and discreet and
effected the conquest of Wales and
Scotland. After making Wales a part
of his kingdom he established his
oldebt son and successor as the Prince
of Wales and the tUle has since
continued. Many historians have
considered Edward I as tho greatest
of English monarchs.
King Henry III. weak and Irreso-
lute but pious and amiable held in
special reverence the memory of King
Edward the Confessor and he bade
that his son should be called Edward.
The birth of an heir 'to the crown
was attended with great rejoicings on
the part of the English people. The
child had beea born on English soil
bore an English name and the ques-
tion of the succession to the throne
was settled. Englishmen hoped that
a new King Edward might renew the
golden age of the pious Confessor.
Their hopes were not doomed to dis-
appointment. Tooth of Edward I.
Edward was fortunate in having de-
voted parents. His father and mother
were attached to each other and
Bhowcd the greatest affection for their
children. All through his life Ed-
ward was bound by the strongest ties
of duty and affection to his kind
father and his proud high-spirited
and loving mother. In his early years
he was dellcr.te and suffered many
severe illnesses. When seven years
old he was sick three weeks in Beau-
Hew Abbey and his mother despite
the criticism of the strict Cistercians
Insisted on staying In the convent
that she might nurse him. As be
grew older he became a tall hand-
some active boy with bright flaxen
hair and was somewhat proud and
domineering. His education was care-
fully directed and he could under-
stand French Latin and English with
equal facility. Despite a stammer In
his speech be ultimately became an
eloquent speaker. It Is also quite cer-
tain that he went through a careful
legal training. The home lessons of
purity and piety were deeply Im-
pressed on the young prince and all
through his life Edward was honor-
ably distinguished for bis upright-
ness and the strength and fervor of
his religious principles. Nor was his
military training neglected. From an
early ago he became famous through-
out Christendom as the bravest nd
most dexterous of warriors. He was
an expert hunter a fearless horseman
and proficient In all sports which had
In them a uplce of danger. In 1254
he married Eleanor of Gascony and
the union proved one of the happiest
In English history. Edward and
E.eanor rivalled Henry and Eleanor
In the warmth of their attachment
and the purity of their domestic
lives. They were scarcely ever separ-
ated Eleanor making it her pride to
hare In the tolls and dangers ot her
husband. She exerted a wonderful
Influence over Edward and upon her
death after 35 years of happy wed-
lock his whole character seemed to
change for the worse.
Kdward I a a Warrior.
Edward's first experience In actual
warfare was during the contest be-
tween bis father and the barons from
1258 to 1267. In the nine years' of tho

struggle his character became ma-
tured and his experience ripened. Ho
then ranked among the first knights
generals and statesmen of the day.
In 12GS he took the crusader's vow
to rescue the sepulchre of Christ
from the Insults of Islam. He started
on a crusade but like all preceding
similar attempts It was unsuccessful.
Edward had many thrilling experi-
ences during one of which an assas-
sin attempted to kill htm with a
poisoned dagger. He warded off tha
blow with his arm on which he re-
ceived a deep wound and then
knocked the murderer down. Wrest-
ing the dacger from him he slew htm
with his dwn weapon. The poison

ferent stories are told of the manner
In which his life was saved. On is
to the effect that his wife Eleanor
lucked the poison therefrom. An-
other and the most probable one is
that an English surgeon who was
with the crusaders cut away the af-
fected flesh. The wound however
permanently enfeebled his constitu-
tion and many years later sharp at-
tacks o; sickness were traced back by
his physicians to the effect of the as-
sassin's blow. In the conquest of
Wales 1274 to 1301. he displayed mili-
tary genius and diplomatic ability.
He marked the closing years of his
reign by the subjugation of Scotland
which was made a part of bis king-
dom. His military and executive abil-
ity were also often tried In many
minor uprisings rebellions and feuds.
Accession to the Throne.
Edward was proclaimed King of
England In 1272 upon the death of

EDWARD VII IN MASONIC .RE-
GALIA Henry III. His accession was re-
ceived with rejoicings everywhere In
England. At the age of S3 the new
King ascended the throne which he
was so brilliantly qualified to adorn.
The years of his apprenticeship had
suggested the malt lines of the policy
on which he was to act for the whole
of his long reign. His work tas a
King was to strengthen and develop
the royal power . to widen the hold
of the King on the nation by taking
the people Into partnership with him
in the administration of his inherit-
ance to work out under happier aus-
pices the great Ideas of Montfort and
to turn schemes meant to bring
about a revolution into devices for the
regular fivernment of the realm. His
ambition was to stand forth as tho
truly national King one who ruled
by the advice of his own nobles and
scorned foreign favorites and para-
sites. The lack of good laws during
his father's reign impressed upon him
the need of legislation and the codi
fication of all English law. In carry
ing out this he was eminently suc-
cessor and displayed great legal
knowledge.
King- Edward VII as a Mason.
While grand master of the Grand
Lodge of Masons of Great Britain
King Edward VII. was one of the fore-
most figures In the great fraternity
which traces Its origin back to the
days of King Solomon.
A ROY " MILLINER.
Alexandra Can Trim Her (lata and
Make Her Own r rocks.
Millinery Is one of the many useful
accomplishments of the new Queen
consort of Great Britain. In early
life Alexandra and her Danish sisters
were brought up on decidedly narrow
Incomes and had to make the most
of a scanty provision for the wardrobe.
The consequence was that Alexandra
learned to trim her own hats and
bonnets es well as make her own
frocks. This talent was not neglected
when she went to England as the
bride of the young Prince of Wales.
If the court milliners sent home hats
or bonnets which were not to her
taste If they were clumsy or unbe-
coming the princess' scissors were at
hand to take off the trimming and
remodel the offending piece of milli-
nery. Very few women of her age con-
tinue to look well in the so-called
straw sailor hat. Numerous pictures
of the Princess of Wales show her
fondness for this headdree-3. But it
Is sot to be supposed that as her ma-
jesty she will be photographed in tha
sailor hat. Many of the recent photo-
graphs taken in England lately of
Alexandra show the little straw hat
In all Its Informality. But no doubt
as a Queen she will forego wearing it.
The story is told of a lady of the
household of the late Queen Victoria
that on state occasions the dressing
of her majesty was an affair of mo-
ment. As It sometimes happened the
Queen's bonnet did not prove becom-
ing or look sufniclently regal for the
forthcoming function. Then It is said
tho Princess of Wales was sent for lu
haste to operate with her scissors
needle and thread or long pins upon
the "impossible" bonnet.
Queen Victoria it Beems had Im-
plicit faith In the good taste ot her
daughtor-ln-law and her capacity of
transforming the unbecoming bonnet
into a suitable and becoming head-
dress. The new Queen ot England
has always displayed conspicuous
good taste In her own dress and In
that of her family.
Gold or the Hlaek Hills.
Only two states In the union produce
more gold annually than do the three
counties comprising the Black hills In
South Dakota and they are Colorado
and California. The gold output of
tha former for 1900 waa 29&00000
and of the latter 114.377200. And

A KING'S REVENGE.
PORTUGAL'S RULER SAID TO
BE A VILLAIN.
After Luring a Fhyelclan'e Wlfa from
Her Huaband He Deserts Her When
She Find a Defender He Causes Hit
Assassination.
No scapegrace of European royalty
can compare In moral depravity with
Charles Ferdinand king of Portugal.
His private life is full of violations of
the precepts of morality by which his
subjects are governed and scarcely a
month passes without some new Btory
of scandalous conduct that shocks his
people. A recent tragic romance has
provoked all Lisbon into a flutter of
revolt and directs attention to this
gouty monarch who goes his royal
way determined only by his royal
will. All the world knows the con-
temptible .position he occupies among
the rulers 6f Europe. His private for-
tunes are so reduced that he has been
obliged several times to pawn the
royal crown that Is the Insignia of his
"divine" superiority over h's follow
countrymen and the fact that he has
handed over the foreign relation" of
his kingdom to England for a finan-
cial consideration.
The Scandal of Europe.
But that he could Btoop to such
depths of consciencelessness and vil-
lainy as are revealed in his latest out-
rageous act not even those most famil-
iar with his moral caliber could be-
lieve. Senora M was the wife of a
physician attached to the king's
household. She was young and fair
with sparkling eyes dark hair and
rose-hued cheeks a picture of loveli-
ness. Hor husband distinguished him-
self during the pl&gue scare a . few
years ago; it was then the king met
both husband and ' wife. " His royal
corpulency has a thorough apprecia-
tion of feminine beauty. The physi-
cian and his wife were Introduced to
the court circle and the former was
rapidly advanced. He believed that
his devotion to his country in its time
of danger was the reason for his ad-
vancement; the beautful young wife
soon had reason to know that there
was other foundation for the prefer-
ment She yielded to the temptation
that meant social advancement. She
became a favorite of the king and her
magnificent gowns were paid for out
of the royal treasury. She became a
member of Queen Amelie's household.
Husband Took It Philosophically.
When the unhappy physician at last
learned his fate it is characteristic of
present-day court life at Lisbon that
he resigned himself to It listlessly.
"There is nothing to be done" he
said and all Lisbon agreed with him.
Up to this point the romance had
run smoothly. In Lisbon and Oporto
there are husbands by the hundred
who hare passed through the same
misfortune. The procedure is simply
to wait for some new fancy of the
king to break the spell. Later on
therefore when Charles Ferdinand
had tired of - her the physician's
beautiful young wife had only to
make her peace with him live for a
time as it In mourning and begin
the humdrum life anew. Unhappily
for them neither husband nor wife
developed normally from here on. He
took to brooding over-hls misfortunes.
And she forgot that It was dangerous
to wound a king's sanity.
A Jrftloas Klnf.
Cast off by the king no longer hold-
ing a place in her husband's affec-
tions though again his companion
the physician's wife found It easy to
accept the favors which a young man
of the landed gentry was able to be-
stow on her. This new attachment
did not escape the observation of the
king. Though he had tired of her
once his jealousy was aroused. He
meditated revenge.
Not since Shakespeare's Iago is
there to be found a record of revenge
to compare with this one for infa-
mous cynicism. Sending secretly for
the physician now notoriously unbal-
anced by brooding over his wrongs
the Jealous king deliberately unfolded
KING OF PORTUGAL
to him the story of his new misfor-
tune. No divorce detective could have
made a more circumstantial report to
his employer. He gave the distracted
husband dates addresses and they
say even photographs of intercepted
letters. Then after a significant dis
course on his own wounded honor and
the only means of clearing It he dis
missed the man ripe for assassination
and sure of Immunity.
The Assassination.
They say that the districted husband
went direct from the palace to the
ahop of a dealer In firearms. Ha pur
chased a heavy-caliber five-shot re
volver loaded It and made for the spot
Indicated as the rendezvous. There on
a quiet side street near a church and
in sight of the hospital in which he
had for years devoted himself to the
relief of suffering he shot down like
a dog the young man just as he was in
the act of helping the lady Into a car-
riage. Three shots took effect and
the victim fell stone dead. The assas-
sin spared his wife and calmly walked
home unmolested with the revolver
in his hand.
Within an hour the assassin was put
under arrest and by a special order of
the public prosecutor as if the thing
had been foreseen he was conducted
to the little-used prison of the Fort de
San Julian for safe keeping. It Is to
this precaution that he probably owes
his life to-day for the mob that gath-
ered after the funeral of the victim
allowed Itself to be discouraged only
by the obvious impossibility of pene-
trating such a fortress and it was at
this funeral that the spontaneous In-
dignation of all Lisbon that has dis-
turbed even the cynical king first
manifested itself.
The king has visited the demented
physician and It is said that by In-
terposition of royal decree he Is to be
acquitted whe: his case comes to trial.
A YOUNG OLD MAN.
Troy N. Y. has no doubt the oldest
active fire department engineer in the
WILLIAM BAILEY
country. He Is In his 70th year and
has been a member of -the Troy de-
partment nearly fifty-two years. De-
spite his age he Is "Just as young as
he used to be" so far as his fireman's
duties are concerned. His engfne
methodsof handling fires and has been

Bailey Is with the tidy and powerful

Jumps into his clothes and slides down
the pole as quickly and nimbly as the
youngest member of the company and
his pride the engine is puffing out
clouds of black smoke before the team

"right there" on the tender watching

When William Bailey Joined the

THE INDIAN'S PAINT.
Every Mark on His Face Has A Mean-
Ins; Plain to Other Red Men.
The fact of the matter is that every
paint mark on an Indian's face is a
sign with definite meaning which
other Indians may read. When an
Indian puts on his full war paint he
decks himself not only w'th his own
individual honors and distinction
won by his own bravery but bIbo with
the special honors of his family or
tribe. He may possess one mark ot
distinction only or many; in fact he
may be so well off In this respect that
like some English noblemen he Is
able to don a new distinction for
every occasion. Sometimes he will
wear all his honors at one time.
Among the Indian tribes is one
designated by the symbol of the dog
fish- painted in red on the face. The
various parts of the fish are scattered
heterogeneously on the surface of the
face; the peculiar long snout is
painted on the forehead the gills are
represented by two curved lines he-
low the eyes while the tail Is shown
as cut in two and hanging frdm
either nostril. When only one or two
parts of an animal are painted on a
man's face it is an indication of In-
feriority; when the whole animal ap-
pears even though In many oddly
assorted parts the sign Is one of
great value and Indicates a high
rank.
Very peculiar are some of the hon-
orable symbols painted on the In-
dians' faceB. They are fish fiesh and
fowl of all kinds dog salmon devil
fish star fish woodpeckers eagles
ravens wolfs bears sea lions and sea
monsters mosquitoes frogs moun-
tain goats and all manner of foot
claw or beak marks each with' a
special meaning of Its own.
Stables U rowing Modest.
Stables along Fifth avenue are sure-
ly disappearing. The one drawback to
the appearance of "Millionaire Row"
has been the existence of these build-
ings erected In close proximity to the
dwelling houses and very costly but
stables nevertheless. Now the value
of the property has become too great
even for millionairt-a to use it as sta-
ble Sites. Elaborate houses are dis-
placing them and no fewer than three
such changes are at present being
made between Sixtieth and Eighty-
fifth streets.
The West Virginia senate has voted
to appropriate $5000 (or statue of
ex-Governor Plerpont the first gov-
ernor of the state to be placed in
Statuary ball In the national capitol.
A GRAND OLD MAN.
HON. FREDERICK HOLBROOK
OF VERMONT.
Wsr focruor Who Is Now 88 Tears
Old He Kecentlr Celebrated the
Eighty-Eighth Aunlvenary of His
lllrth.
Sound In health his mental vigor
unimpaired Frederick Holbrook war
Governor of Vermont celebrated the
88th anniversary of his birth at hia
home in Brattleboro the other day.
Gov. Holbrook is one of the grand old
men of the nation. He is probably
the oldest ex-Governor in the country
and one of the few survivors among
those men who were at the head of
State governments during the civil
strife.
Gov. Holbrook was born In Con-
necticut but his parents went to the
Green Mountain State when he was
a mere boy locating at Brattleboro
where his father was engaged in va-
rious lines of trade and manufacture
and was one of the foremost citizens.
He attended the Berkshire gymnasium
at Pittsfield. As a young man be was
elected captain of la militia company
which did not conform to military
standards of dress but appeired in
all sorts of apparel some in straw
hats some in caps some in stove-
pipes others in shirtsleeves and some
in linen dusters. It was a motley
aggregation but Its discipline was
good and It did not reflect discredit-
ably on its commander. At 21 Hol-
brook married and soon thereafter
took up agriculture as his vocation.
He applied himself to a scientific
study of farm work and by writing
for various farm journals throughout
the State he attracted attention to
himself. His writings were -read far
and wide and had much to- do with
his introduction to public life. When
he went to the State Senate in 1849
he was not a total stranger to the
people of his State and before he had
been there long they knew him as
one oC the stanchest men in that
body. The following year he was
re-elected. In 1850 he was made
president of the Vermont State Agri-
cultural Society which had Just been
organized and he remained at its head
10 years. In 1860 he was elected Gov-
ernor and served four years. He was
one of Lincoln's most loyal support-
ers and it was upon his suggestion
that the martyr President called for
300000 volunteers in 1862. The same
year the Governor secured the estab-
lishment of a military hospital at
Brattleboro and invalid .soldiers were
sent there from the southern battle-
fields. At one time as many as 2000
sick soldiers were beins cared for la
the buildings and in tcj;ts.
At the close of his second term
Gov. Holbrook resumed his agricul-
tural pursuits. He had a genius for
Inventing mechanical Implements and
improving on those 'already made. A
firm In Boston kept him-almost con-
stantly employed. How the Govern-
or is spending his old age may be
gathered from tho following:
"I am happy and contented. I try
to make myself useful. I walk sev-
eral miles every pleasant day. I y.-
tend to my correspondence. I do my
own writing. I read aloud several
hours daily largely from the poets
and works of imagination. This tendi
to prevent introspection when one is
old. I try to be a young old
man. I've been smoking ever since
I was 15 years old and you see I'm
alive yet. I enjoy the weed. I don't
smoke stror.5 cigars now. I have
one of our manufacturers make me
some cigars every now and then. He
puts the best material Into them and
as you see. they are very small and
mild. I smoke a cigar after each
meal and sometimes I go beyond that
limit. I believe In moderation al
ways.
Llbelons to Call a White a Kefrro.
To call a white man a "negro" In

recent decision of the supreme court
of that state. In the case decided the

by mistake was referred to as a "ne-

defendant. He brought suit for libel
for $5000 and obtained a verdict of
$50 which was sustained by' the su-
preme court. The mistake was made
by the operator of a telegraph com-
pany in sending-the words "cultured

which words were changed by the
proofreader of the defendant Into
"negro." The newspaper correspond-
ent who sent the dispatch had In-
tended to compliment the minister

damages could be obtained.
