When nearly 12 years old “Bertie” was taken to the august house of lords for the first time, and sat beside the queen on the throne and listened, with open mouth, to the news of the opening of the Crimean war, in which so many lives were to be lost. His Travels. In August, 1S55, he visited Paris with his parents. It was his first sight of the gay French capital and his first trip to the continent. He rode throngh Paris in state, iu a Highland costume, and was patted on the head by Napoleon III. Ever after he was a warm friend of that monarch. The prince was confirmed in the Es tablished church when 17 years old, and, on his mother’s request, attended a series of lectures by Charles Kingsley, author of “Westward Ho!” Iu 1860 the prince was given another outing. He visited the United States— that vast domain lost to the English crown by the folly of his greatgrand father, George III, and his shortsighted ministers. He was received everywhere with laudations bordering on syco phancy. A grand ball was given in his honor at Washington, where he visited all public places, including the tomb of Washing ton. He was entertained by President James Buchanan iu the White House. The president wrote to the queen con gratulating her^ipon the “charming be havior” of her “son and heir—the ex pectancy and rose of the fair state.” The queen replied, addressing onr presi dent as “my good friend.” That was the best she could do, according to royal rules of etiquette. He visited New York, also Chicago and points in Can ada, taking the name of Baron Renfrew. His Marriage Pleased England. All London went wild over the an nouncement of the coming marriage of the prince with the Princess Alexandra of Denmark. On March 10, 1863, the marriage took place in London. The parliament settled upon the young couple an income of nearly $500,000 a year. Their first journey abroad was to Russiia, where they remained some time. The king has five children.

He was at first laid at rest in the Georges’ chapel in Wind sor. In the ornate octagonal chamber of the Frogmore mausoleum, 30 feet in diameter and 65 feet high, is a double sarcophagus of dark gray granite, rest ing ou polished black marble.

LONDON IS IN MOURNING All Business Completely Suspended. Services In Churches. London, Jan. 23.—London has donned a garb of mourning from end to end, and an early honr found a thick fog en veloping the city like a pall, a fitting ac companiment of the funereal apparel of everyone. Throughout the West End drawn blinds are the order of the day, while on all the government buildings and offices the flags are halfmasted. Toe Law Courts, the Stock Exchange and all of the Poduce and Metal Exchanges throughout the country only assembled to close immediately after the presiding officers bad addressed to the members a few words of tribute to the dead mon arch.* Tnere were exceptionally large con gregations in all the churches in all parts of the country. In St. Paul’s ca thedral the prayers for the royal family were altered to read: “For our sover eign lord, the king and queen consort.” All the services were ended by the play ing of the dead march. The various naval and military sta tions fired a salute of 81 gnus at midday to signalize the death of the queen—one gun for each completed year of the queen’s age. All public buildings are being draped in black, the stores are displaying many signs of mourning and business is prac tically at a standstill. 53S M M BE m M BE m BE BE BE m Let Us Know About Your Building.

The bandage was remov ed from his eyes, and the brethren crowded about him to extend their con gratulations on the fortitude he had dis played. “How did it impress you?” asked one of them. “It was the most impressive cere mony, take it all aronnd, ” he answered, “that I ever knew or ever bearjl of.” “You were aware, of course, that there was a fire across the street while we were putting you throngh?” “ Why, ” rejoiued the new member, “I could hear the puffing of the engines, the tramping of the horses on the stone pavement, the yelling of the firemen and the swish of the streams from the hose, and I could smell the smoke, too, but, good gracious, I thought it was part of the initiation.”—Youth’s Compan- Solemnly Swears to Govern the King dom According to its Laws and Cus toms— Dignitaries Kiss the King’s Hand—Impressive Scene.
