among the people of Tarn-town, N.

by without the oil king inviting some
of them, men, women and children,
to ride with him in automoble or car
riage, and it is safe to say that the in
vitations arc seldom declined, for his
vehicles arc the best to be had, and
the drives around Tarrytown are beau
tiful. Mr. Rockefeller, before starting
for a ride, always dons a paper vest,
declaring it a great protection against
colds, and he insists that his guests do
the same. Alter the ride he refuses
to take back the garments, and con
sequently in nearly every home in Tar
rytown may be found a paper vest pre
served as a souvenir of a delightful
ride with the multi-millionaire.

HIS ADDRESS IN BERLIN ON
'THE WORLD MOVEMENT."
PROMINENT PEOPLE PRESENT
Ex-Presldent Occupies Three Hours
With Address and is Attentively
Listened to.
Berlin. Though suffering from an
Irritation of the thropt which made
his appearance before the University
of Berlin a matter of doubt almost up
to the last moment, former President

address on "The World Movement"
and won for himself the plaudits ot
the distinguished assembly that bad
gathered to hear him, which had
among its members the emperor and
empress. Princess Victoria Louise,
Prince and Princess Eitel Frederick
and other members of the royal
family. Mr. Roosevelt took occasion
more than once to pay tribute to the
emperor and he was warm in h!3
praise of German Institutions, mili
tary and educational, and of the Ger
man people. That the former presi
dent's address pleased bis majesty
was evidenced by the fact that the
emperor sought the lecturer and ro
mained for several minutes in animat
ed conversation with him.
Colonel Roosevelt was the guest ot
honor in the evening at the imperial
chancellor's dinner and the reception
which followed it.
The ceremony of conferring the
degree was staged and conducted
with impressive simplicity. There
were no flags or emblems of royalty
and the government and the walls
of the Aula were bare, save for the
rows of busts of Germany's famous
scholars and scientists.
The only touch of color was iur
nished by the senators of the uni
versity with their robes of scarlet and
blue and the five heads of the stu
dent corps, who' wore blue jackets,
white breeches, jack boots and parti
colored sashes.
Four hundred guests of the uni
versity, who held cards of admission,
were seated, when Emperor William,
accompanied by Mr. Roosevelt, en
tered from a side door of the hall.
As they appeared the university choir
chanted "Hell Dir Im Siegerkranz."
(Hail to Thee in the Conqueror's
Wreath.)
The two were followed by Empress
Auguste Victoria, Princess Eitel
Frederick, Prince and Princess
August Wilhelm. Pirnce Adelbert.
Mrs. Roosevelt, Miss Rooseelt and
Kermit Roosevelt. The party took
seats which had been reserved for
them on the platform.

Hill, the other ambassadors and their
wives; Henry White, formerly Amer
ican ambassador to France, and Mrs.
White; Seth Low and Mrs. Low,
American Consul General Thackers,
SL John Gaffney. American consul
general at Dresden; Imperial Chanc
ellor Von Bethmann-Hollweg. Foreign
Minister Von Schoen and the mem
bers of the cabinet. On either side
of this block of chairs were the sen
ators of the university.
Mr. Roosevelt occupied a chair
during the reading of his address
and at his side stood the heads of the
student corps with drawn swords.
This striking guard of honor re
mained standing and almost Immov
able for the three hours of the lecture
and ceremony.

CAREER OF EDWARD VII.,
KING OF GREAT BRITAIN
England's dead king. Edward VII..
whose full title was "king of the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland, 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 Al
bert, the prince consort. He was born
November 1. 1841, in Buckingham pal
ace and was christened Albert Ed
ward. At his birth he was created prince
of Wales and by virtue of that dig
nity he became also knight of the gar
ter. As nelr apparent to the British
throne be succeeded to the title of
duke of Cornwall and Its emoluments,
and as heir to the crown of Scotland
he 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 created
earl of Dublin, this title being con
ferred on him and bis heirs in per
petuity. Among the other titles and
commands held by Edward were duke
of Saxony, colonel of the Tenih bus
Bars, colonel-in-chief of the Rifle bri
gade, field marshal of the British
army 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 the
charge of four private tutors, and sub
sequently his education was directed
by Baron Stockmar and Charles
Kingslcy. In order to give him a
taste of college life, he was sent for
one session to the University of Ed
inburgh, for one year to Oxford and
for four terms to Cambridge. During
these years he acquired a wide gen
eral knowledge of the arts and sci
ences and became quite proficient In
modern languages.
In 1860 the prince made a tour of
the United States and Canada and
the next year he joined the British
army at Curragh camp, Ireland. In
1SC2 he set out on his travels again.
this time visiting Jersualem and oth
er places of biblical Interest His
companion on the trip was Dean Stan
Icy of Westminster.
Edward's public life began In Feb
ruary. 1S63. when, as heir to the
throne, he took his 6eat in the bouse
of lords. On March 10 of the same
year be married Princess Alexandra
Caroline Mary Charlotte Louise Julia,
the eldest daughter of King Christian
IX. of Denmark. Her beauty, grace
and charming manners at once gave
her a popularity In Great Britain that
has continued unlessencd throughout
her life as princess and queen. In
1S75-7C the prince made an extended
tour tnrough the Indian empire and
was received everywhere with lavish
and magnificent hospitality, the native
rulers seeking to outdo one another

Absolute Rest.
"Clyde Fitch was an indefatigable
worker." said an actor who has played
In many of the Fitch comedies.
"When he had a play on the stocks
he would labor over It day and night,
often scarcely pausing for his meals,
and getting very little sleep. Conse
quently his health suffered. He
would work until on the verge or a
nervous breakdown, and then bis phy
sician would step in and force him to
knock off.
"During one of these periods of en
forced idleness he was lounging in the
Players club one day when Harry B.
Smith, the prolific comic opera libret
tist, strolled in.
"What are you doing now? asked
Smith.
"'I'm In ray doctor's nanus.' replied
Fitch. 'He tells me I'm In a bad way.
and has absolutely forbidden me to uu
any brain work.'
'That's tough." said Smith. 'How
do you manage to put in the time?'
'Oh. I'm writing the libretto of a
musical comedy. replied Fitcb with
oue of his cynical smiles."
completed when disquieting rumors of
the king's 111 health, which had been
current for several days, were con
firmed by the postponement of the
ceremony. It was announced that the
king was suffering from perityphlitis,
and on June 24 he underwent an o;
eration. After some weeks of the
greatest anxiety, he recovered, and
the coronation took plar August 9.
During the long years of his prince
hood Edward's public duties consisted
solely In the office of representing the
royal family at all manner of public
J events, and he performed these du
ties welL But the deadly monotony
of such a life was too much for the
vigorous man. and he found relaxa
tion In amusements that frequently
gave rise to scandals and that gave
the world a wrong impression of his
real character. He was esneclallv
fond of the theater and among his
ooon companions tor years were ac
tresses and actors. Also he devel
oped a great liking for Paris and often
visited that gay capital Incognito.
The Riviera and Biarritz likewise were
familiar with the face of the prince of
Wales.
But all this, as has been -aId. was
only bis relaxation, and after coming
to the throne bis conduct always was
so circumspect that not the most cap
tious critic could find any fault with it.
As a diplomat Edward was unex-

His Influence was always thrown to
the side of International peace where
compatible with national honor, and
his advice and example had a steady
ing effect on all Europe. He looked
with amused tolerance on the va
garies and extravagances of his neph
ew, the emperor of Germany, but oc
casionally that ruler exasperated him
to such an extent that he could not
refrain from giving him soma stern
advice. Such admonition was not re
ceived by William in a submissive
spirit, and once In a while there were
sensational rumors that the peaceful
relations between the two countries
were about to be ruptured.
The development of the king's char
acter In his Inter years was espe
cially gratifying to the nation In ad
dition to the love of his people, which r
he had always had. he gained their
admiration and respect. They had the
utmost 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 would
do the right thing at the right time.
