KING SPENDS MORE MONEY.
Civil List for Keeping Up English
Court Shows Increase Over That
Of Queen Victoria.

The parliamentary return recently is
sued shows the kings civil list for keep
ing up his court increased 500 after
Edward assembled the throne. The list,
which had been $3.50, 900 in the cas- of his
mother, was raised to 1866 900, while the
total sum payable by the country to the
royal family was increased to 50. 35O. 900,
as compared to 81, 1926, 900 of the previous
reign.
The only private inheritance falling
to the king from his mother was the
revenues from the duchy Of Lancaster,
amounting to $500. 900 in the later years
of the queens life. This has risen to
S305, 900 for the kings private use. The
prince Of Wales income also is improv-
ing, for, whereas the duchy OF Cornwall,
which is hi. appanage, only yielded
100000 in 1886, last years return was
$3.50, 900, with e sixty thousand dol
lars carried forward to the next ac-
count.
The king and queen celebrated the
forty-hrst anniversary Of their we'd
ding the other day. The event oc-
casioned unusual rejoicings at Windsor,
where. at st. Georges chapel, his
majesty married. The queen was IS
then and the king two years older.
