Edward VII.
Edward VII. King, Statesman, and Sportsman, Incidents in a Notable Career, His Regard for the Welsh Miners. Rhondda Royal Visit Recalled. Saturday morning last, the whole civil- ised world was shocked at the news that His Majesty King Edward had succumbed to the bronchial attack which had con- fined him to hiis. room during the latter Part of the week. His Majesty's illness had been kept from the public up to the last moment, and it was only the fact that he was unable to meet the Queen On her arrival home after her Mediter- raneau trip, as was his custom, which lecesissitated the publication of the news. Even then his indisposition was accounted to be of a character that need not give cause to any alarm, but the complaint developed so rapidly that the bulletins on Friday assumed a graver tone. The Public was, however, hardly prepared for Saturday's tragic news, and the crowds which congregated around the Palace gates during the day hardly realised that the popular monarch had breathed his last. His death caused the greatest con- sternation throughout the land, and the Centres of commercial activity were ren- dered temporarily stagnant. In his death the world realises that not only has a great King laid down his Sceptre, but that one of the greatest forces for the Aeace and Prosperity of nations had been l^iiiovect. To tins, ample testimony is borne by the hundreds of messages of Ctj>iidolence. £ ent to the stricken family by all the leading nations of the world. All sPeak of the aead Monarch as the Peace- maker, and the future historian, in facing the causes of the concord of yfu.l0ue during the opening years of the p-*th Century, will 'have to set aside a chapter to the immense influence fielded among the Councils of nations -England's lamented King. In the ex- pressions of condolence with the bereaved family every loyal Briton will unite, and is the Empire's fondest hope that King George the Fifth will worthily maintain Uie glorious traditions <tf the great Throne to which he has succeeded. Long live King. Sing Edward the Seventh was born at Uckingham Palace on November 9th, 0^1. On the 4th of the following month ween. Victoria issued letters patent gating him Prince of Wales and Earl of He was christened at St. .^°rSe s Chapel, Windsor, on January jv]1' 1842, receiving the names of Albert ffward. He followed the example of his Rented mother in selecting the second his names for his style as Sovereign. J1 the family circle the late King was fways called in his younger days "Berty." 11 the late Queen's journals he is often referred^ to. One instance may be Queen. Victoria wrote of a happy ^chtuig excursion in Cornwall in 1S46, that the whole population of ^uro came to the banks of the river at j^&y Corner and were enchanted when jv6l'tie was held up for them to see the ^ke of Cornwall." Lord Palmerston JJd (so referred to the young Prince in gating him out at Penrhyn to the Cor- ^ration there; anti the Queen recorded fe- journals how the old Mayor had in reply, he hoped he would grow J* a blessing to his parents and to his i Ulltry." 1.t young Prince was a student, in a ^ession, at Edmburgli—where he was ^ruPU of Dr..Lyon Playfair, and of Dr. -^idtz, at Oxford, where he was entered H Christ Church, and also at Cambridge, iveie he was at Trinity College. 'JLJie had already had an unusual ex- in travel and in knowledge of J Sorts and conditions of men. He Jsited Canada and the United States, ^cler the guidance of the Duke of New- ^ie, in 1860, and his welcome at Ellington and in the great American r was hardly less enthusiastic than which he met with within the bounds the British Empire. fittst before the death of his estimable p rince Albert-in 1861, the Prince of Wales, who had been if- a 9olonel *u the Army and a K.G. his eighteenth birthday, had his first O^ience of soldiering in Ireland, at the itiHragh. of Kildare, and, in the same during a short tour in Germany, i^et the gentle and beautiful lady CeSs,l^ed to be his future wife, the Prin- 1*6^Alexandra, whose father had not then King of Denmark. It had been {lis lQusly arranged that the Prince, by itt sPecial wish, as his father recorded 111 o of his letters, was to make a tour ^Sypt and the Holy Land, during bej^h he had the great advantage of j^companied by Dean Stanley.

From there be proceeded to the great cities of the Ganges, and through Lahore to the frontier of Cashmere and i\'epaut, returning by way of Allahabad to Bombay. It was at this time that the Queen assumed the title of Empress of India, and partly on that account the Prince was acclaimed on his return home great cities of the Ganges, and through Lahore to the frontier of Cashmere and Nepaul, returning by way of Allahabad to Bombay. It was at this time that the Queen assumed the title of Empress of India, and partly on that account the Prince was acclaimed on his return home with more than usual ceremony and wel- come. Taking a keen personal interest in all public affairs, religious, social, and charit- able, educational and recreational, the late King as Prince of Wales made him- self familiar to all in almost every part of his vast domain. One thing, however. he had never been; he kept clear of party politics. While listening to the views of statesmen of every thinking, he strictly refrained from taking sides," and one cannot say with surety whether he would be Liberal or Conservative were he free to speak out. In the House of Lords he took part in several ceremonial introductions. Thus he acted as a sponsor to his brothers and the Duke of Fife, and to his own two sons. When the Duke of Clarence was introduced as a peer in 1890, his father, noting his nervousness, prompted him quietly and unobtrusively. If the King's position shut him out happily from politics, there were many enterprises in which he took a con- spicuous interest. The Exhibitions, which in London, Yaris, and elsewhere have done so much to encourage commercial recip- rocity, and to discover the achievements of the nations, found no more zealous patron than Edward VII. Moreover. musicians never appealed to him in vain, and he did his utmost for the cause of musical education. He also took particular interest in agriculture. He once described himself as a "farmer on a small scale." He was a trustee of the Royal Agricultural Society, and was a famous breeder of cattle. In addition, as befitting the King of the Mistress of the Seas," he was a good sailor. He owned and sailed yachts, whilst on the Turf he enjoyed great and deserving popularity. He was an enthu- siastic patron of cricket, and the Ken- nington Oval would not have been the Mecca of Surrey cricketers had it not .been for his liberality. Two incidents in the late King's career that cannot be forgotten were of an un- pleasant character. In July, 1898, when on a visit to Baron Ferdinand de Roths- child at Waddesdon Manor, the Prince dinned on a staircase and fractured his kne^-cat). It was a serious accident, and it was feared that he would be lamed for life. But with skilful surgery and care- ful nursing, he recovered entirely from its effects. The accident called forth from far and near expressions of cordial sympathy with His Royal Highness. These expressions were, however, as nothing compared with the sympathy, allied with indignation, aroused in the early part of 1900, when the King, as Prince of Wales, had a narrow escape from assassination. He was travelling to Denmark with the Princess, and the train was just moving from Brussels Station when a young Anarchist jumped up to the carriage door and fired at the Prince. One of the bullets went startlingly near the Prince, but, happily, he escaped injury, and his assailant was promptly captured. News of the attempt on the Prince's life created an immense sensation here, and when he returned to England after his visit to the Princess' home, he had a reception such as even he had never experienced before. No memoir of the late King can be complete without a reference to the lady who for half-a-century shared with him the burdens and honours of his exalted position. Eldest daughter and second child of the Duke of Holstein, who later became King Christian IX. of Denmark, Queen Alexandra was born in the Red Palace. Amaliegarde, Copenhagen, on December 1st, 1844. Of the first 20 years of her life there is little to record. Brought un in a family circle in which luxury and splendour were absent, this period of her life was paisked in a quiet, uneventful way, although anecdotes of her early days her studies, her abilities, and family devotion, cannot fail to interest. Princess Alexandra had scarcely reached her seventeenth birthday when she first met the Prince of Wales. The meeting took place at Worms, and is the subject of various romantic stories. Her first visit to England was made shortly afterwards, and she had an audience with the Queen in the absence of the Prince of Wales, who was allowed or instructed to be abroad at the time. At once the widowed Queen took her son's fiancee to her heart, and closer union could not possibly have existed than that which was then cemented between them. In every trouble they remained until death divided these true women to one another. During his all too brief reign the cor- dial affection which King Edward inspired in the nation at large was largely shared by his gracious Consort. She won the hearts of the people by her possession of all the qualities that go to make up womanly grace and worth. As Princess of Wales she was universally popular and beloved; and as Queen Alexandra she increased her held upon the nation's affections by maintaining m her life and Court all the high traditions upheld by Queen Victoria. She has long been the recognised head of British Charity, and her devoted labours in connection with the hospitals became Queen Alexandra even better than her crown. Nor can we draw this brief sketch of the late King's career to a close without a. passing reference to his associations with Wales and her people. The Heir- A.pparent to the British Throne exercises a special fascination upon the minds of Welshmen, because he derives his title from the Principality. King Edward's visits to our little country, from the time when he passed through the Menai Straits with his parents when he was only six years of age, have been red-letter days in the history of the Principality, and asso- ciated as they were with the openings of docks, and University functions, they stand as landmarks in the onward march of the nation's progress, intellectually and industrially. Though he never graced the Rhondda with his presence, the late King took a special interest in the life and arduous calling of its inhabitants, and the colliers will recall with interest the establishment of the Edward Medal for bravery in mines—the miners' V.C. When Her Royal Highness Princess Louise visited the Rhondda last year, she was much struck with the loyal enthusiasm of the people, and she remarked that she would have much pleasure in telling her brother of what she had seen and heard during her visit. •
Funeral of the Late King.
Funeral of the Late King. Local References to Deceased Monarch. With time-honoured ceremonial King George V. was proclaimed on Monday morning at St. James' Palace, London, and in many provincial towns and centres. The text of the proclamation is as fol- lows WHEREAS it has pleased Almighty God to call to His Mercy our late Sovereign Lord King Edward the Seventh, of Blessed and Glorious Memory, by whose Decease the Imperial Crown of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland is solely and rightfully come to the High and Mighty Prince George Frederick Ernest Albert: We, therefore, the Lords Spiritual and Temporal of this Realm, being here assisted with these of His late Majesty's Privy Council, with Numbers of other Principal Gentlemen of Quality, with the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Citizens of London do now hereby, with one Voice and Consent of Tongue and Heart publish and proclaim, That the High and Mighty Prince George Frederick Ernest Albert, is now, by the Death of our late Sovereign of Happy Memory, become our only lawful and rightful Liege Lord George the Fifth by the Grace of God, King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and of the British Dominions beyond the Seas, Defender of the Faith. Emperor of India; To whom we do acknowledge all Faith and constant Obedience, with all hearty and humble Affection; beseeching God, by whom Kings and Queens do reign, to bless the Royal Prince George the Fifth with long and happy years to reign over Us.—Given at the Court of Saint James's, this seventh day of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and ten. "GOD SAVE THE KING." The funeral of the deceased Monarch takes place on Friday week, May iiOth, and a Royal Decree has been issued com- manding that the day be observed as a day of national mourning. Queen Alexandra, who has issued a touching letter to the nation, will henceforth be Known as, the Queen-Mother. Pulpit references were made at all public places of worship in the Rhondda on Sunday last to the irreparable loss the nation had sustained in the death of King Edward VII. g At St. Peter's Church, Pentre, Canon W. Lewis, R.D., said the late -Xing had ever the interest of his subjects at heart, and he sympathised with all classes in their sorrow, and was ready to help for- ward every movement that would make for the progress and happiness of all sections of the population. Their hearts wllt out in deepest and sincerest sym- pathy with the beloved Queen, and their prayers would be that the new King would follow in the steps of his father. Dr. W. Morris, D.D., pastor of Noddfa Chapel, Treorchy, said he considered King Edward VII. among the noblest of the Kings of England. During the nine years of his reign he had identified him- self with the best movements and pro- jects calculated to ameliorate the condi- tion of his subjects. He had special con- nection with Wales, and in all calamities that befell her in colliery accidents lie was touched to the quick, and he had expressed his interest and sympathy with the bereaved. The Vicar of Trelierbert (the Rev. JO. D'. Evans), preaching at St. Mary's Church on Sunday, said all were touched with a sense of personal bereavement. No British ruler had ever exercised a more beneficent influence. While nations were building great fleets and drilling huge armies, the world felt an instinctive sense of security so long as Edward the Peacemaker remained to direct the des- tinies of the Empire over which the sun never sets. Identifying. himself so inti- mately and whole-heartedly with his people, no King ever held a deeper hold upon his subjects' affections. Though he has been taken from us at the very time when his vast knowledge of men, his singular insight into affairs, and his in- comparable tact and judgment are most needed, ours is to face the blow with bowed head and bended knee, and pray the Ruler of the universe to endow with the grace of wisdom the statesmen of the world to make up for the great and bene- ficent influence which has been so sud- denly removed. The Rev. M. H. Jones, preaching' at Jerusalem (C.M.) Chapel, Ton-Pen tre, said the late King was a diplomat of the first water. His death was not only a national loss, but a blow to the whole civilised world. On Sunday last, touching reference was made at both morning and evening ser- vices at St. David's Church, Tonyrefail, by the Rev. D. J. Thomas to the irrepar- able loss the nation had suffered by the death of His Majesty King Edward VII. Special Psalms and hymns were used, and at the close of the service the Dead March in Saul was played on the organ. Pulpit references were made in all the chapels and churches of Ferndale on Sun- day last to the death of the late King. The Rev. J. E. Harries, pastor of the North Street Congregational Church, in the course of his sermon, referred in feeling terms to the death of the King. The nation had lost a wise and kind ruler, who had gained for himself the title of The World's Peacemaker." His death was mourned by a sorrowing nation, and his name would be carried down to posterity as one of the greatest Monarcbs that ever sat on the British Throne. At the "Monday morning meeting of the Rhondda Fach C.M. Churches' gymanfa ganu, held at Carmel Chapel, Blaenllechau, the Rev. B, Watkins, pastor of Penuel Chapel, Ferndale, spoke in fitting terms of the loss to the nation through the death of the late King. He was a good and gracious ruler, and in our national sorrow he (the speaker) prayed that the new King and Queen would be blessed with grace and wisdom to govern as his illustrious father had done. The whole congregation stood on its feet as a mark of sympathy with the Royal Family in their sad bereavement. The staff and scholars of the Secondary School, Ferndale (Mr. G. Chitds, B.Sc., headmaster), sent the following telegram to Lord Knollys, Buckingham Palace, I London: The staff and pupils of the Ferndale Secondary School humbly tender to Her Majesty their deepest sympathy In her sad bereavement.—Headmaster."
At Toil-Pentre Police Court.…
At Toil-Pentre Police Court. At the opening of the Ton-Pentre Police Court on Monday, Mr. T. Pascoe Jenkins [said he had a sad duty to perform, and I that was to propose a rote of condolence H with Queen Alexandra, who had been, 2 ana always would be, the idol of the I ¡ nation, in her great and sudden bereave-I ment. To lose so noble a husband, so] great and popular a man, was indeed a tragedy, and the heart of the nation went. out in sympathy towards her. The coun- try had lost a King who was great in diplomacy, in mediation and arbitration. Had it not been for these qualities Eng- land might have been plunged in several wars, but, happily, these had been averted through his good offices as peacemaker. King Edward was a lovable and magnetic personality, and had attracted the people nearer the bosom of the Throne during his reign than at any previous period of Iritain's history. Unfortunately, he had passed away in a period of crisis, in the ;Course of which his advice and services would have been of the highest value to the nation. Alderman Wm. Morgan seconded the vote, which was ordered to be placed on the records of the Court. A meeting of the Porth Chamber of Trade is being convened to consider the question -of arranging a procession on the day of the late King's funeral. At a meeting of the Nest Dyfodwg Lodge of True Ivorites held at the Butchers' Arms, Penygraig, on Saturday evening last, a vote of condolence with Her Majesty Queen Alexandra upon the death of her august husband was passed. Proclamation of the King at Ogmore Vale The ceremony of proclaiming our new Sovereign, King George V., took place on Wednesday afternoon near the New- Workmen's Hall. There was a large crowd present, and this was augmented vy the marshalling of all the school chil- dren of the Valley to the scene. The iroclamation was read by Mr. J. Canniff ifHlfach), chairman of the Ogmore and yarw District Council, after which the National Anthem was heartily sung by all present. Mr. Canniff brought the cere- mony to a close by requesting three cheers for the new King, which were very lustily responded to by all present.

One of the witnesses at the inquiry was deceased's father, David Daniels, the fireman in charge of the dis- trict in which deceased was fatally injured. It appeared that the father warned his son a little before the acci- dent, but the stone which crashed upon deceased was described as a sort of slant," which was not easily recog- nisable, and all precautions were taken against all possible danger. The funeral took place to-day (Thursday), when the Treorchy Philharmonic Society, of which deceased was a member, rendered hymn- tunes, &c., en route to the graveside. An interesting exhibition billiard match was played at the Cardiff Arms Hotel on Tuesday of last week, the players being Claude Falkiner (West of England cham- pion) and Dai Rees (late of Treorchy, and winner of the Cardiff tournament cham- pionship). The match was organised by Mr. Tom Jones (landlord), and was one of 1,500 up, Falkiner conceding 500 start to Rees. Falkiner's best breaks were 179, 159 and 139. Rees' biggest break reached only 89.
