TOURISTS SPEND
NOTHING SAVE
THEIR TINE
ROYAL WINDSOR HAS
SERIOUS GRIEVANCE
King Buys His Household Sup
plies in London and Ameri-
cans Confine Purchases to
Postal Cards and Lunch.
(By Robert Broderick.)

ough of Windsor complains that King
Edward is running its trade by the
modern methods he has introduced al
the castle. Under Queen Victoria the
trade of the town doomed because OF
the huge royal household maintained
at the castle, the Queens long So
iourns there and the custom of buy
ing in the town of a large part Of the
supplies for h castle.
All hat has now been changed. The
court rarely comes to Windsor, and
when ii does, usually for the purpose
Of entertaining a foreign monarch, alt
the supplies are ordered from the big
caterers and department stores in
London.
A bitter wall went up from the
Windsor t~radespeople during tbs
kaiser's recent visit when they saw
wagonloads of food n flowers going
10 the castle, every pennyworth of
which was bought in London. In
Queen Victoria's time the royal bor-
ough would have made a handsome
profit Out of the festivities.
Windsor lays the blame for the loss
Of its trade on Lord Farquhar, master
Of the household, whom King Edward
entrusted with the reorganization of
his domestic affairs. Lord Farquhar Is
Il Keen business man, but his methods
are too modern for the Windsor
tradesmen.
American tourists are another dis
appointment to Windsor. They come
10 Windsor simply to see the. castle,
and hustle out again without having
spent more than viii buy them a
lunch and a few post cards. Windsor
regards the average American touris,
as a monument Of
Elton college, too, has withdrawn
most of its, trade from the local
stores. The supplies come from Lon
don, and wen the boys .tuck-shOps''
have been and are being ruined by
the establishment Of a private store az
the college. whore the Etonians arr
expected to spend their pocket money.
The Metropolitan museum. New
York. will shortly have an interesting
addition 10 its Egyptian department.

near Memphis, the ancient capital or
Egypt.
The sarcophagus is a massive block
of black granite followed out to re-
ceive the body of some important per-
sOnage, and provided with a lid. It's

Robert Wilson, a pedler. Of Pater-
noster court, Spitalfelds. was chargcc
AT the North London court yesterday

he had no food on Friday and no
breakfast that morning.

The perennial conflict between the
Irish peasant and the landlord class
has flared up into an acute crisis in
Kings county. where the violence OF
the United Irish leagurers has led to
the breakup Of the famous Ormond
Hunt.
1t has become impossible to con-

members Of the local branch of the
local branch OF the United lrtsh
league. who went so far AZ TO beat
with sticks lady followers of the
hunt, and to knock them from theh
horses.
The pack Of hounds will therefore
be sold. and the hunt abandoned.
This means that 10000 a yeur
