his illustrious and much mourned

The titles which have been above ac-
| credited to Edward VII in his role as
the Prince of Wales, are by no means
all that he is entitled to. To them.
among many others. may be added the
following: The Most Honorable Priv
Counselor both of Great Britain and
Ireland, Knight of the Most Honorable
Order of the Garter, of the Most An
Client and Most Honorable Order of the
Thistle, of the Most Illustrious Order
of st. Patrick, Great Master and Prin-

lem IN England, to say nothing OF
countless foreign decorations, fellow
ships and honorary memberships in
societies of all sorts, the mere enumer-
alton OF the initials of which would fill
one of these pages.
the Importance and dignity of the
heir to the throne in England, as well
as the former and ceremony that
hedges around the person of such a
prince, is well illustrated by list of
some of the principal officers of the
private household of the Prince of
Wales. In this household we find the
following officials in the order of their
precedence. most of the offices being
filed by members of the nobility:
Lord warden, keeper of the privy
seal, attorney general. recorder gen
eral clerk of the council. auditor.
groome of the stole, two lords in wait
ing, four equerries. six extra equerries
two honorary aides-de- camp. two or
DERBY native officers. a private secre-
tary. a domestic chaplain. librarian
chief clerk with two assistants, three
physicians in ordinary, three surgeons
IN ordinary, surgeon to the house
hold, five honorary physicians. super,
intendent of stables, two surgeons
apotheCary, a surgeon dentist, an
agent a house steward and two house
Keepers These are entirely separate
from the household of Her Royal High
ness, the Princess of Wales.
1t Is interesting this connection t,
read the names of the honorary aides
de-camp and the orderly native off,

COoch Behan; Lieutenant Colonel Ma

This retinue, however. is modest as
compared with that by which Edward
VII will now be attended ana served.
