"I can well remember when tho Into Rob
ert Lowe, afterward Lord Cherbrook, was
tho talk of all England because of his bril
liant oratorical attacks on Gladstone's re
form bill In IRfiti. The opponents of reform
delighted to hear tho prince had paid
marked attention to Iiwo nnd delightfully
lumped to tho conclusion that the prince
was a resolute tory by conviction, but nl
most Immediately afterward he went out
of the way to pay marked nttentlon to John
lirlght, nnd then Immediately the redleals
began to form hopes that tho future king
might bo " good radical at heart. The
truth Is that In theso nnd other eases tho
prlnco dlspla'ycd whnt may fairly bo termed
an intelligent curiosity with regard to men
of dlitlnctlon, bo that when tho world was
talking nbout somo parttculur personage
with whom bo was not acquainted ho felt
nnxlouB to meet the man nnd have n talk
with him to find out what ho was like. Hut
nono of theso cusual acqualntancshlps ever
loomed to bring about any prolonged Inti
macy or any genutno friendships between
thn prince and nny really eminent men who
made for themselves nnmes.
"During tho later pnrl of VletorliiV rolgu

certain strong comAinn sense and general
discretion In his public speeches nnd acts
which seems to give promise that ho will

George IV hud committed himself deeply to
political opinions in his earlier days which
ho utterly and meanly renounced when ho

hopes which men of Intellect nud honor hud
ever formed of him. Tho present king cer
tainly has not committed himself- to any
political party and tho public hero has no
means whatever of knowing whether ho Is
u liberal or a tory at heart. Wo may safely
ntsumc that his Inclinations are more In
tho direction of what Is now called Im
perialism than those of his mother ever
were, but wo have seen thnt Victoria was
not nlilo to prevent tho South African cam

in politics. Today ho Is a peer un social
mi.. tors. He may attend tho House of
Lot ds nnd speak, but not on matters af
fecting political questions. The queen
rcigus, but she does not rule. I doubt
whether the distinction is clearly under
stood In America. She reigns, and her son
Wales lias been expected to respect tho
constitutional position of tho queen nnd
not olitrudo any attempt nt ruling. The
last sovereign who tried to rule, forgetful
of the wholesome lessons ndmlnlstercd to
our kings, was (Jeorgo III, who tnlkcd n
great deal of nonsense about tho roynl
prerogative. Under Victoria we heard
nothing of the roynl prerogative. The
prince from tho outset understood his limi
tations, and never once did he attempt to
bring out the old bogey of royal preroga
tive. Ho spoko and acted consciously In
tho name of n sovereign who only reigned.
Wo recognize In. this the Influence of tho
teaching of his mother. It is expected
next of the prlnco of Wales that ho will
take the load Jn all Important social duties.
Itemembcr, his father died when ho wna
only 20 years of age, and thut, in addition
to the f unci Inns which he would have had
to perform as prince ho nt that early age
had to perform thoso which the prince con
Mrt should have carried out in tho mimo
of tho queen. Kor forty years tho prlnco
mndo speeches for tho queen. Kor sl
months every year he has had a list of en
gagements for every ilny. In this fatiguing,
never-ending work the prince uover onco
fallod to keep his engagements. Kxeept
during tho time he lay nt death's door, ho
has never shown the least sign of weari
ness or lack of interest In the work beforo
him. In this he was not a humbug Sooner
or Inter the humbug Is discovered. Ho
simply is tho most good-natured of men. ns
tho world oxpects. In fact, a many-sliled
prince, nno who would specialize llmself
and become n man of literary pursuits, ab
sorbed in art, any man of science would
bo n fnllurp as a prince. No one ovor
thought, for" Instance, thnt the prlnco was
n profound student of nrt. but his nnnunl
speech at the Itoyal academy has always
been happy and appreciative. 1 have seen
it objected that tho prlnco did not follow
current llteruature, but who would expect
n man of so many engagements to bo nblo
to copo witli tho enormous literary output
of tho day?
IIiin Wimlerf hi Tnel.
"To sum up, tho prlnco possesses a hos
pitable, genial temperament, wonderful tact
In his Intercourse with people of wide ex
perience., of nil sorts nnd conditions of
men, which he has learned not in books,
but by dally Inquiry nmong people who
would Inform him. In foreign affairs ho
has been thought unduly pnrtlnl to Krance,
It may be that ho was fond of paying visits
to I'nrls, where he has tunny friends. It
is notorious that he beenmo tho close per
sonal friend of tho knlscr and that his re
lations with tho czar are tho best p isslble,
while ns to America, It remains only to be
said that ho Is among the foremost of those
who desire to maintain the most friendly
rotations with the greatest of nil republics.
"Tho peaeo ot tho world no longer de
pends upon tho temper of n king. At tho
same time tho roverelgn who reigns, but
cannot rule, may be n determining factor
In tho preservation ot peace. Wo may, In
fnct, expect In the future the same tact
and wisdom that Is n part of tact, tho same
prudent views of men nnd aflnlrB that
forty years of public life have given tho
king. Kor one thing he Is to be pitied. Tho
old plonmnt life, with tho visits to tho
country houses of his friends, tho Informal
llfo of a country gentleman enn bo his no

etiquette. Ills dinner will bo u state ban
quet, everything that he does will be
5
watched nnd chronicled. He has become n
kins."
George Moore, author of "Hvclyn limes,"
has written his view of what King Kdward
VII ns n constitutional monarch enn most
beneficently do for Knglnnd,
"When the king of Ilavnrla summoned
Wngner to Munich one of Wngner's Ilrst
nets was to write n pamphlet entitled 'The
Duty of n King.' i would thnt some great
aesthetlclan were nllvo In Knglnm' nt this
moment who could write a similar
pamphlet, nnd 1 would that King Kdward
were nblo to nsslmllatc the wisdom of this
wise man nnd exercise the kingly Inlluenco
according to tho ndvlec of his friend. T
discover wisdom Is especially the business
of a king. Indeed, the king should have
llttlo other buslnecs, and In England the
king, If ho exercises a kingship that Is
constitutional, must limit It's senrch for
wisdom to the nrts and sciences. He may
not take sides in n political struggle. It Is
not probable thnt tho king of Englnnd will
over ngnln lend nn army In tho Held; never,
theless, n modern king can win ns enduring
Immortality ns did any one ot his mediaeval
ancestors If he nvnlls himself fully of his
opportunities. He can win un artistic per
sonality In history, ns did Julius II In Home.

thnt Ills birth excludes him from mllltnrv
nnd political power, for artists, thoso who

world's memory than politicians nnd gen
erals. Social successes nre forgotten ns
moths that Mutter around lamps. Only nrt
really endures. Conquests among women
have brought fame to no one except Don
Juan. England offer nn extraordinary op
portunity for u king of artistic tastes, and
If Edwnrd VII enn seize tho opportunity
ho will leap into ono of tho highest seats
In history, for art Is dead In Knglnud. I
do not think It enn be denied that what
ever Interest Queen Victoria took in nrt
was misdirected. The names of tho about
lnnble German painters who pointed the
roynl family for thirty years nro known
to everyone, nnd London has been perma
nently disfigured by n German sculptor.
It Is principally within the Inst twenty
years that Loudon lias acquired n reputa
tion as being tho most Innttlstlc city In
thovorld. Tho Kngllsh roynl fnmlly has
no3f shown any preference for drnmatlc
llteMure or music. It has gono to the
lhcatr. like any other British fnmlly. eon
tcntK well amused. The queen has not
beei sfcen lu the London theaters for many
yenrs. tiler lack of Interest in drumntlr
nrt Jiik put down to her ngo nnd henlth.
nnd. h fnct, she was In mourning for the
prince consort. Tho prlnco of Wales's
lack of fntercst In dramatic nrt ban been
otherwise explained nwny, In that he was
In a fnlse position, had not cnmich innne-.v
etc., but now that ho Is king he will place
nimseii on the side of art or the sldo of
sport. He will busy himself with Shnkes
peare, Wagner or Ibsen, or the groom's
gamekeepers and their employers. If he
nppllcs himself to tho tnsk he may suc
ccd In rnislng the twentieth to the level
of tho eighteenth century. I will not say
it Is posslblo to do this, but 1 do know
that It Is better to fall In this nttcmpt
than to succeed in a massacre of 1.000.000
pheasants or win half a dozen derbys.
"Wo do not usk the king of England to
be wise. We nsk him to be nblo to dis
cover wisdom In others. It ennnnt be so
difficult to find u man who does know nnd
nddress yourself to him. Will King Kd
wurd discover the man? Who knows?
Once, I rpmembcr. King Kdward ventured
to cxpresri public approval ,of a picture.
The picture was quite worthless, and for
several years tho public was misled. Yes
terday I heard that King Kdward had sent
for Prof. Herkomer to make u drawing
of tho dead queen. To many this may
seem n matter of slight Importance. To u
few It will seem like a portent, nnd f think
from It we mny safely predict that tho
commonplace and vulgar will not wholly
drop out of sight during tho present reign."

week might bo imagined to be In the tenth
Instead of tho twentieth century. Nobles
and local officials nrrnyed In nrchalo cos

pertaining to the accession of n sovereign.
Placards, printed In quaint typo and
quainter Shakespearean langunge, pro
claiming Kdward VII king of the fulled
Kingdom of Grent Ilrituln nud Ireland
and Kmpcror of India, nro surrounded by
open-mouthed crowds, ns they hnve been
lu centuries past, rending eagerly, ns
though they had not already read In thn
newspapers the proclamation. Anyone
crediting the English with republican ten
dencies must bo convinced by the present
demonstrations of the absolute, unques
tioning loyalty of the whole people to the
monarchy. Thousnnds of columns of edi
torials In Journals of every political shade,
save a few Irish publications, contain no
hint of dlssutlsfnctlon with Edward, rex.
only confidence nnd good wishes. No mon
nrch ever took the crown more strongly
supported. Tho same good feeling toward
Edward VII pervades Kutope. Only the
Parisian nnd a few Russian papers attack
him, The tributes to thu dead queen cause
un eta of good feeling on tho part of tie
English tnwnrd their sister nations, hor,
ever brief
Emperor William's filial conduct and his
willing abandonment of tho celebration of
the blccutennlnl of tho Pr,usslun munnrchy
hns done much to strengthen the Anglo
German alliance, while the tribute of the
Uocr prisoners nt C.tpe Town lu giving up
their sports pending the Queen's funeral
softens the animosities of war.
Solemnity Over (lucer IIiiIiikx,
The solemnity with which tho Kngllsh
people look on what scotu to Americans to
bo queer ceremonies Is remarkable. Eve'ry
Englishman thinks ho has n shure In the
nffnlri'.. The proclamation nt the crofcs of
Edinburgh, where Wnlter Scott from the
window of Constable's bookshop saw George
IV proclaimed, was no less brilliant thnn
tho Loudon pageant. Heralds nnd pursui
vants nscended the battlements nud tho
octagon turret. Around I lie tall shaft were
swathed royal purple. After tho reading
the castle guns saluted nud the Scots sung
"God Save tho King."
The ccrirr.ony wns repeated nt tho guto
of the castle and nt the Stuarts Palace ot
Holy Itood at the tewn boundury. Tho city
olllclals. the university professors nnd the
local holdlcry were In the procession, which
took place lu a snowstotm.
In tho meantime the government will
probably tisk Parliament to Increase Hho
sovereign allowance by 300.000 on ac
count ot the Increasing pecuniary demands
upon the ofllce. Queen Vlctorla'n allowance
was fixed nt the beginning of her reign at
3SO,000, partly defrayed by the crown
estates. The cost to tho nation was 170,
000. A now edition of prayer books tomorrow
from his majesty's printers has been ne

my good fellow
I told him. He snld: "Tell me, uow.
exactly how you felt when hit. What was
your Ilrst sensation."
I answered: "The first thing I felt, your
highness, wns n stinging In the knee Joint.
I never thought It could be n bullet until
the knee suddenly weakened nnd I dropped.
I tried to rise, but could not. Then the pain
beenmo awful nnd made me groan. I re
tnombrr asking whero nre the Boers, and
stt mbllng to the gun, but we had Anally to
abandon It."
The kaiser then nuked: "What gun did
you fenr most ?"
I said: "Why, the pom-pom, of course.
It outranged our guns, and when the Boers
got tho range with It It cut lanes through
us. I believe, your highness, that without
their pom-poms nnd horses the Boers would
hnve been nowhere."
He said; "That's very Interesting.
Thank you, Gunner Jones. 1 hope you soon

And here as he spoke he held my hnnd

As I told her. her feelings completely over

The duke turned to tho kaiser nnd snld:
"And wo condemned tho pom-pom." (Mean

Tho kaiser shrugged his shoulders.

STRANGE MENTAL POWERS.
How People Are Influenced
Startling Words from the Committee Appointed to
Investigate Hypnotism for the Benefit
of Bee Renders.

F. H. STOUKKI1, Secretary nnd Treasurer
of Hallway Conductors, Puoblo, Col.
Hypnotism Is no longer n myth, n fanciful crention of tho mind, but n reality, n
most potent power, capnblo of producing Infinite good. Kor tho purpose of ascertain
ing tho exact value of this much-tnlked-of power n committee composed of u physi
cian, a well known Jurist, n prominent minister nnd lending rnllrond man was ap
pointed to Investigate Hypnotism.
Tho committee cnrrlod on n series of investigations In regard to the power nf hyp
notism to inlluenco tho notions and deeds of people In tho every-day walks of life.
Tho first stops taken by tho members of tho committee was to master tho sci
ence In every detail, so that they might state from porsonal experlenco tho good or
evil this strnngo power might produce. They wrote the Now York Instltuto of Sci
ence, of Rochester. N. V., tho greatest school of hypnotism nnd Occult Sciences In
the world, nnd received full nnd complete Instructions In regard to how hypnotism
may ho used to Influence ponplo In business, how to uso It In treating diseases, etc.,
otc. In a few days they mastered these Instructions nnd wcro full-fledged hypnotists.
It wr.s clearly demonstrated that hypnotism may be employed so that the person
operated upon Is entirely unconscious of the fact that ho is being Influenced; and all
things considered, tho cominlttco regard Itas the most valuable discovery of modern
times. A knowledgo of It Is esscntlul to one's success In llfo nnd well-being In so
ciety. Dr. Lincoln says, lifter a thorough Investigation, that ho considers It tho most
marvelous therapeutic or curatlvo agent of modern times.
Judge Schafer, although a legal light, turned his attention to healing tho sick,
nnd In a few treatments ho completely cured John K. Myers, nf Klcmlngton, N. J.,
of a strange malady that had kopt him bedfast for nfno yenrs, nnd which tho doctors
said must surely kill him. Judge Senator's fame spread for miles around, und hun
dreds of people applied to him for treatment.
Mr. Stoufor performed tho nstonlshing feat of hypnotising Mr. Ciinnlnghnm of Pu
eblo, Col., ut a distance of several blocks. He nlro hypnotised nn aged gentleman, nnd
had him run through the streets shouting "Red-hot peanuts for sale.' Mr. Stoufer
says It Is Itidlspensahlo to ono's buhlness success.
Rev. Paul Weller says that every mlnl'lur nnd every mother should understand
hypnotism for the benefit they enn bo to those with whom they nre brought In dolly
contact.
In speaking of thU marvelous power, President Eliot, of Harvard College, said to
tho graduates: "Young gentlemen, them Is u subtle power lying latent in each of
you' which few of you hnve developed, hut which, when developed, might make a man
Irrlslstlble. It Is called Personal Magnetism or Hypnotism. ) udvlse you to master
It."
The New York Institute of Sclenco hus Just Ishiicd 10.000 copies of n book which
fully explains ull the secrets nf this marvelous power, nnd gives explicit directions
for bocomlng u practical hypnotist, t-o that you inn employ thu forco without tho
knowledge of anyone. ,Miy body can' lenr n Success guaranteed.
Tho book also contains a full report of tho members of tho roinmlttee. It will be
