GENTLEMAN USHER
OF THE BLACK ROD
Has Been Appointed By King George
In The Person of Lieut.. General
Sir W. P. Pulteney.
Associated Press

| LONDON, Jan. 23-King George
has appointed Lieutenant General Sil
w. P. Pulteney, as Gentleman Usher
of the Black Rod in succession to the
late Admiral Sir Henry +. Stephen.
son. The office is one of those pure
ly ornamental ones which are rather
numerous in this country. "Black
Rod, as he is called for short, has
next to nothing to do and gets $1,000
year for doing it, and a suite OF
apartments, rent free, in the House of
Lords.
He is glorified messenger of the
hereditary legislators. When on duty
he is gorgeo.sly attired in court cos
tune with knee breeches and a plum
ed cooked hat and dandy little sword
BY his side. The emblem of his auth
Tority is an ebony wand but he never
does anything with it.
When members Of the House of
Commons are summoned to the House
of Lords to hear speeches from the
throne or the royal assent given to
acts that have been passed, Black
Rod, enters the Upper House and
makes his way to the "woolsack" on
which sits the robed and wigged Lord
Chancellor. He is told to inform the
members Of the House of Commons
that they are wanted Then he has
to walk half way to the door back
wards, making bow at every few
steps and looking very solemn.
When he arrives within a few yards
Of the door Of the House of Commons
the Sergeant Of that body
who is on the lookout for him( shuts
tn edoor in his face. Black Rod has
to suppress his feelings and knock
knock humbly at the door.
Then the Sergeant-at-Arms opens
a little panel in the door and asks him
what he wants ,or something to that
effect, and Black Rod tells him what
he already knows. Then Black Rod is
admitted. This little bit of comedy is
supposed to indicate that the House
of Commons does not take any orders
from the House of Lords Then Black
Rod, with chastened mien, advances
to where the Speaker sits in state and
in Norman French delivers his mes
age. This is the performance he will
have TO go through for the first time
when Parliament opens on February
10th.
General Pulteney has served in
many campaigns, having joined the
Scots Guards in 1881, and has been
the recipient of large number of
honors. During the great war he
the Third Corps in
France. He has taken keen interest
IN the development of military recrea-
ion and has been prime favorite
With his men. He was born in 1861.
