 During the past 20 years the medical staff in the royal household has grown enormously. In the beginning Of the reign of Queen Victoria there were but five physicians and two surgeons on the staff When King Edward came to the throne this number had in- creased to IS and King Edward, dur ing his reign. raised 1t to "A.

buildings are of only one story, and in front of them extend wide portales or corridors with huge columns separating them from the plaza. On the other side of the corridors is a wall of cave-like vaults, lighted only from the front and the roof. The stores are 15 to 20 feet wide and 20 to 30 or more feet deep and their ceilings are arched, so that the whole looks like one long vault. The goods are hung from the ceilings and piled up on the floors. The market seems to be a good one, and l saw many Amer ican articles.

attendance for the sovereign that could certainly be quite efficiently provided for about s2500 year.
 In addition to the physicians and surgeons there is surgeon dentist and surgeon oculist attached to the medical staff; the first mentioned receives $6000 per annum and the second S5000 per annum The pay to these two men ex- ceeds the salary paid to the physi- clans, the reason being that they do much more for their money than the doctors. The dentist looks after the teeth not only of the King and Queen but also of the royal children and the oculist gives his services not only to the royal family but to the members of the royal household. Members of the household who employ the dentist have to pay him, however. should they re- quire his services.
 There is also a laryngologist at sal ary of s4OOO per annum, a bacteriologist at s2500 per annum and an anaesthetist; the only unpaid official in the royal medical staff; Sir William Hewitt the anaesthetst, would be paid $105 for at- tendance on the King or any members of the royal family were his services re- quired.
 But in addition to all these medical men there are number of young doctors and surgeons attached to the royal medical staff These appointments were first made in the reign of Queen Victoria when a few young doctors who had in- fluence at court were given positions on the medical staff. but they were then un- paid. Their duties were and are prac- tically nil, though some of them are

GAME AT GLEN CARLYN.

The aggregation of ballplayers at
Glen Carlyn suffered decisive de-
feat yesterday afternoon at their
home grounds by the fast Pirate
baseball team of this city. The final
score was 4 to I.
Hantzmon, the Pirate twirler,
pitched shutout ball and almost a
no-hlt game. All the opposing play
ers were able to gather off his splen-

it not been for punched errors on the
part of the local teaad in the third
inning the Glen Carlyn team would
have been shut out. Two errors and
an overthrow to first base, coming in
rapid succession, gave one run to the
team from up the river.
Each of the local players distin-
guished themselves during the game
