BIOGRAPHICAL
George Quayle Cannon was born on January
II, 1897, In Liverpool, England. His parents
were natives of the Isle of Man. The Cannon
or Cannan family--early records show that the
name was spelled the latter way at one time
and Scotland, but fled to the Isle of Man for
re1uge on account of political religious
troubles, and the name OF the place to which
they went and which is still in the family was
called Cootlshallgah. "Cooil," in the Manx
language, means hiding place"
George Quayle Cannon was the oldest of his
Iather family and he in connection with other
members of his family became converts TO the
Mormon faith in Liverpool where they were
baptized June lS, 1870, by Elder John Taylor

mon church.
Coming to America in August, 1874, Mr.. Cam

the editor OF Times and Sessions and the Nau-

COST OF ENGLISH ROYALTY.
Allowances on Which All the Recipi-
ents Ought to Get Along.

The prince of Wales draws $500, 900
a year, an inadequate sum, in the opln-
ion of Chambers Journal, considering
the public duties relegated to him con-
sequent on the practical withdrawal OF
the queen from public life. 1t is, how
ever, supplemented by an annuity of
$4,000 for the princess of Wales, and
one of $4,000 yearly, divided among
his children. The princess royal, now
dowager German empress, still draws
her $4,000 year from the British ex-
chequer. The late duke of Edinburgh
was voted S4l5,000 a year when he
came of age. When he succeeded to
the dukedom of Saxe-Coburg, one of
the wealthiest inheritances in Europe,
inconvenient questions were asked in
the house of commons as to the rea-
soHableness of continuing a British
annuity to one who had practically be-
come foreign prince. Protest be-
came so threatening that there was
every prospect Of the government be-
ing defeated If they persisted in de-
Tending the payment. In this extrem-
lily q was dlIlN6Q dt. IL
was announced that his royal highness
had graciously foregone $4,000 a
year, holding on to the odd $4,000, a
sum paid up to the date of his death.
The duke of Connaught enjoys his
full annuity of $125,000 year, in addi-
ton to his army pay. The duke of
Cambridge's annuity of 100000 year
is augmented in the same direction.
The queens three daughters and the
widow of the duke of Albany each
draw pensions of 100000.
These payments foot up to $S40,000
year. Added to the $1,925,000 of the
civil list, it completes a sum of some
thing over s2,5OO,00O year passing
through the queens counting house as
the national subvention of British
royalty.
