Under the system of the referendum

GERMAN CROWN PRINCE
GIVEN UNIQUE HONORS

Berlin. According to advices just
received in Berlin, China has paid the
German crown prince the unique
honor of inviting him to live in the
forbidden CITY," when his imperial
highness arrives in Pekin early in
February.
1t is announced that the prince will
leave for the far east on November
10, from Wilhelmshaven on board the
armored cruiser Gn9senau. If he
decides to be the guest of the Chi
nese imperial family instead of the
German legation at Pekin, he will re-
side in the palace of the late Emperor
Kwang Hsu, prettily and secludedly
situated on an island on one of three
picturesque "lotus lakes" within the
redwalled forbidden city,
The prince regent of China, who
has extended the invitation to the
crown prince, has caused it to be
known that if his royal highness ac-
cepts the preferred hospitality, the
palace will be guarded by battalion
of imperial Chinese guards, as well as
a large detachment of Manchu police
and the regular secret service agents
of the imperial house. A Pekin dis
patch to the Tageblatt declares that
the hope is cherished in China that
the princes visit will have a deeper
significance than mere court So
journ, and will result directly or indi-
rectly in raising German prestige in

BRITISH PEERAGE is
IN NEED OF MONEY

London.-That prosaic commercial
ism is being infused into the blood
of the present members of the Brit
ish peerage is evidenced by the long
list of noble men and noble ladies en-
gagged in active business enterprises.
Time was when the English lord was
content to live on the income derived
from his vast domains, but the enor-
nous land takes that the owners Of
big estates have to pay under the
present form of government have
made the members of modern nobil-
ity look to other sources to increase
their incomes.
The Earl of Pembroke is a notable
example. He represents one Of the
most ancient titled families in the
country, but instead of living on the
income derived from his land tenants
he obtains most of his fortune max
ing carpets. The Marquis of Ayles-
bury and Lord Rayleis have milk
stores all over London, while Lord
Londonderry and Lord Wimborne
have coal depots everywhere. The
Earl of Dudley is corn and coal
first peer to open a green grocery
shop and his first store, near Char
ring Cross, is patronized by many of
the leading hotels. Lord Ranfurly,
a descendant of William Penn, the
founder of Pennsylvania, has also
dealt in fruit both here and in New
Zealand. Lady Duff Gordon is the
famous dressmaker Lucille" and the
Countess of Warwick has a shop in
Bond street for the sale of art needle
work. Lord Suddley deals in jams and
his whole fruit preserves are sold
in large quantities.
Among the peers who sell beer are
Lord Iveagh and Lord Ardliaum. An
other jammaker is Viscountess Moles-
worth. Lady Aukland keeps a fur
niture shop in Baker street. The
Countess of Essex is still interested in
laundry which she started with Mrs.
Hofa Williams, and Lady Montgom-
cry keeps a millinery establishment
in Mayfair. The Earl of Hardwicke
sells cigars, and the Marchioness of
Ripon sells motor cars ION commits
