Epsom, England, May 21 UM—The Earl of Rosebery, former liberal prime mimister and one ‘of the ‘ast England's great Victorians, died at 2:42 a. m., today at his home, The Durdans, near here after a briet fliness. His death was the graduai sinking into sleep of an aged man, worn out by years and infirmity. All his near relatives, save a 13- year-old granddaughter, Rrth Prim- rose, child of the son who was killed fighting in Palestine, were at ihe bedside of the $2-year-old man, who was known equally in England as tesman, author, and turfman. His elder daughter, the Marchion- ess of Crewe, harrying from the con- tinent, had arrived a few hours ear- lier at The Durdans where she joined er, Lady Sybil Grant, the P sister, Lady Leconfield, her brother and heir to the title, Lora Dalmeny, and her husband, ihe Marquis of Crewe, rccently British ambassador at Parid. His death caused general sorrow hereahout, where the former pre- mier's steadfast clinging to Lhe habits of the “80's” and his benign ‘and sportsmanlike outlook on hfe had made him one of the best he- loved of residerts. Most of his sor- vants were in tears. The earl, who was the fifth of his parme, had celebrated his 824 dirth- cay only a fortnight ago by driving from his countrl home, The Durdal to Epsom Town in a barouche and pair, accompanied by a postillion in true Victorian style. Last Friday he caught a slight cold which grew rap- 1dly worse. 1t took its final serious turn yesterday morning. Fulfilled Three Ambitions Archibald Philip Primrose, fifth Xarl of Rosebery, who became prime minister of England at the request of Queen Victoria upon the retire- ment of Wiliam Gladstone in 1894, was a man of many parts, and few have equalled him in the versatility of his genfus, Early in life he pre- cicted-that he would do three things —win the Derby, marry an heiress, and become premier of England— Rll of which he did. In fact he was three times winner of the Derby. The position he held after with- drawing from the leadership of the Viberal party, and then from political life entirely, was unique. The retir- ed politician, however brilliant his achievements, as a rule is soon for- gotten. But not so with Lord Rose- bery. On the contrary, for many years after he left the active politi- cal field his influence in the country and his hold uporf the people con- tinued to increase, until he came to be regarded ‘public orator” for the British Empire. No man before Pim had attained such heighta In the esteem of his countrymen. Lord Rosebery was born in Lon- don May 7, 1847. The distinguished house of Rosebery, which has given YEngland many men of capacity in various walks of life, was raised to the peerage in 1700, through the #ervices of an ancestor's sword in support of “Bonnie Prince Charlie.” The fifth Earl of Rosebery, who in his youth enjoyed the title of Values to $5.00 Unlike the sons of other peers, he did not, while a student, bet on his horses under an assumed name. It waa to the rector who predicted that he would “turn out badly” that Rosebery made his celebrated boast: “I shall win the Derby, marry the heiress of the year, and become prime minister.” Ten years later he married Han- nah, only daughter of Baron de Rothschild, thus becoming one of the richest men in the Empire, and in 1894 he captured both the Derby and the premiership. When Chaun- cey Depew heard of these two favors from the hand of fortune, he sent the famoun cable to Rosebery: “Heaven alone is left to be won.” Eaters Politics A year after young Lord Dalmeny left Oxford, his father died and the heir took his seat in the house of lords. A contemporary of Mr. Glad-, stone and John Morley, he became @ecretary of state for foreign affairs in the Gladstone cabinet in 1886 and embarked upon the political career which resulted in his reputation as a reformer. The liberal ministry remained in power for only a short period, but in 1892 Gladstone regain- ed sway and Lord Rosebery again became foreign minister. As such he fought against the evacuation of Egypt and demanded the retention of the upper Nile val- ley and Uganda, and was instru- mental in avoiding a conflict with France over the question of S8iam by bringing about an agreement where- by Siam was made a buffer state be- tween the English and French pos- sessions in Asia. 8ucceeding Mr. Gladstone when the Ilatter retired because of in, health, Lord Rosebery continued as prime/minister for 15 months, when the government was defeated and he stepped down in favor of Lord Balis- bury. Leader of Opposition Bubsequently, as opposition leader, Lord Rosebery exercised consider- able influence in British politics. When certain powerful factions were urging intervention in Turkey be- causes of Armenian atrocities, he re- fused to support the demand at the risk of a European war, and resign- ed the liberal leadership. This was the second great stroke that estab- lished him in the people's confi- dence. Previously he had won his laurels as a friend of the common people by bringing about the settle- ment of a great coal strike that had placed 300,000 miners on the verge of atarvation. b, Asian drator! IR Rosebery un- doubtedly was supreme after Dis- raell and Gladstone had passed; many, in fact, preferred” him to either. His manner was impressive, his modulation exquisite; his style and diction almost perfect. His lan- guage has been described as that of the seer, never that of the debater. He was particularly effective with the masses. Once for instance, dur- ing his political activity, he was ad- dreasing a huge crowd in Edinburgh, An old man at the back of the hall, forgetting himself for the moment, shouted: “I dinna hear a word he says, but it's gran'. it's gran'." ‘Was a Book Lover Books were perhaps Rosebery's greatest solace. He read incessantly, AsygC/ATED PRESY (Ywsiowor) 2ARL OF RUSELERY always maintaining that a good au- thor afforded the most satisfactory rest after great fatigue. Incidentally, he declared that he never could en- joy a good book and whiskey to- gether, and that.he much doubted it any mortal could; but reading and smoking together he pronounced di- vine. The death of his wife in 1830 caused Lord Rosebery to retire from public life for a time, during which he completed his biography of Wil- liam Pitt, from whom his ancestry was traced. His writings on Na- poleon at St. Helena and the early life of Chatham were less popular. Four children were born to Lord and Lady Rosebery—two sons and two daughters. The elder son, Lord Dalmey, is well known in English and American polo circles. The sec- ond son, Neil Primrose, was killed in action while serving in Egypt dur- ing the World war. Both sons for- merly were members of Parliament. One of the daughters, lLady Sybil, was married to Captain Charles Grant, and the other, l.ady Mar- garet, became the wife of the Earl of Crewe. Retired At 75 In 1922, at the age of 75, Lord Rosebery turned over most of his property to his son and heir and announced that he would spend the rest of his life in seclusion. He had visited almost every country n the world and given so much of his life to politics that he wanted noth- ing more, he said, than to pass the remainder of his span in reading and meditation. Rosebery made four trips to America, and became a strong. ad- vocate of new world democracy. His influence was d unsparingly to .mngm'e\m“'fi ot & 76, ha- tween this country an “The United States is the most dem- ocratic country in the world,” he once said. The property relinquished to his heir, Lord Dalmeny, included ‘more than 30,000 acres in Scotland, in ai- dition to estates in Herts, Kent and Suffolk in England. 666 s & Prescripiion lor Colds, Grippe, Flu, Dengue.
