ExTRAvAGANoR OF TIE PRINCE OF WALES
The London Times, in contrsdictiBg the state
ment recently current that the Queen has paid
present time the debts of the Prince amount 20
little more than one-third This annual income
and include scarcely any bills due longer than a
year. The Princes balances at his banks to-
day will more than suffice TO meet every claim
IL Is true the Prince Is unable to live within ms
income, but the excess IL provided from a fund
which is his private property. This fund, which
accumulated during the Princes minority from
the revenues of the Duchy OF Cornwall, is still
sufficient to meet the yearly deficit in his ex-
pehses, though the time may come when this
II source will be exhausted.
