I!T lyADT MARY MANWAP.IN'O.
LONDON, Lec. S (Special to The lie.)
King Ocoi-jtr, or, rathrr. Queen Mary, Is
busily engaged In pUnning dnutle reforms
bout the court which will t on If result
In a nmre economical and efficient man
ngemrnt of the royal household, but which
will lel te the eerrecU of many abuses
which have grown p within the lust quar
ter of a cetiturj or so. i
One of the most Important of the new
regulation Is one by which the four chief
official of the household, namely, the
lord chamberlain, the master of the house
hold, the Puis I or of the horse and the lor.
steward, will meet vt regular periods to
confer ea the working f their respective
departments and to settle questions which
are constantly artel ng between them.
Under the old regime, when the work,
ear, of the master of the twee's depart
ment brought that offWal Into conflict a
neetinx of (he two officials and the quee
tion at lrsue between them was referred
to the king's secretary for his majesty's
inoirucUose ut the matter.
The number of equerries and lords In
waiting in residence Is to be reduced, but
the number of nonresident equerries who
are put on the list In rotation every fort
night for attendance at the paiaee will be
Increased. Tbia regulation will make for
economy without putting any extra work
on the official affected by tt.
Mlatnw ( stotieo Voir.
The france of the mietreM of the robes
at court will be required far more ooa
taotly than was the case In the last few
years of Kiug Kdwatd'a reign, whea Queen
.Alexandra only required the presence of
her oiisireaa of the robes on. oocasiona of
great state ceremony, and man of the
duties attaching to by office were, as a
matter of fact, perforated by Miss Knolly.
It Is the wish of both King George and
Queen Mary that the mistress of the robes
should resume chief control of her
majesty' household and In ceosequenoe
tie Duchess of Devonshire will be great
deal at court. When the court la at
Windsor castle her grace will be In resi
dence, but when her majesty Is at Buck
ingham palace the duchess will, of course,
reside at Devonshire house.
The maids of honor will In future be
notified by the mistress of the robes when
their attendance at court is required, and
when, the court la at Windsor one of the
maids will always be required to be in at
tendance. Queen Mary Intends to revert to the old
custom of giving a dowry of 1,000 to a
maid of honor when ahe marries, but
against this her pay will be reduced by a
h tin (J red a year. Queen Alexandra raised
the pay of her maids of honor by a hun
dred a year, but stopped the dowry money.
In the new reign the maids win receive
300 a year each Instead of four.
Queen Alexandra had only four maids of
honor, whilst Queen Victoria had ten.
Queen Mary will probably appoint six, but
not more than two wilt be In attendance
at ,the same time. Her majesty will pre
sent each of her maids with a gold and
ee.rl loeket, which the maid must always
wear when she to In attendance.
Chary of Word "Itoyal." i
Several new regulations are pending In
connection1, with the work or the lord
chamberlain's department One of the
meet Important of these deals with the
granting to societies and Institutions the
right to use the prefix "Royal." All in
stitution which are properly entitled to
use the prefix are registered In the books
at the lord chamberlain's office, but a
great many use It who ar not entitled
te do so, for the simple reason that It act
as great help In obtaining subscriptions.
Xxcept In one or two glaring Instances
of misappropriation of the prefix, no
trouble waa taken In the late reign to In
vestigate the rights of any society or In
stitution to style itself "Royal," and num
ber of societies availed themselves of this
state of affairs to do so without proper
authority, but under the new regulation
they will no longer be able to do so.
Already on Institution ha been preemp
torlly ordered te cease designating ltaelf
'"Royal." and as a result several other
not entitled to us the prefix, have volun
tarily dropped It
In one case that recently came to light
it was ascertained that a society which
existed practically for pushing the sale of
a certain American patent medicine de
scribed Itself a "Royal" on it circulars,'
though It carefully refrained from doing
so more openly. In future no society not
registered a "Royal" will be allowed to
designate Itself as such, and the privilege
to use the prefix will not be at all so
reeqiiy granted a heretofore, as his
majesty ha been long of the opinion that
It 1 an which ha been alway too easily
seeured. Of eourse, the right to desig
nate ltaelf "Royal" will not be withdrawn
from an Institution which is properly en
titled t do so.
In the sum way the claim of royal
warrant holder will be Investigated with
equal ear. There ar a number of people
claiming te be royal warrant holder who
ar not, though they or their predecessors
In business may have been at one time.
All the royal warrant to trade people
expire automatically at the death of the
sovereign, and there is no obligation what
ever on the part of the new sovereign to
renew tbem.
In the matter, by the way, of the die.
' Poial of orders. King George will not be
by gay wean so liberal as was his father.
The Heygl Victorian order and the Im
perial rvlu order wer so freely dis
tributed In Ui late reign that they ceased
t b very highly valued, and In mure than
on Instance the Victorian order was re
fused. Hoyal Gam Preserve Eaormons.
8om Idea ef the enormous extent of the
royal game preserves at Sandrlngham may
be gathered from the fact that every year
now the total bag ha steadily increased
unlil the huge figure of 16,00 head has
been reached. But the record for the royal

Cook is a sore subject with the University

that he will share the prize with a friend
of Ralsmes, who gave him the price ot a
lottery ticket, which they wer to share
between them.
Tour correspondent called at Pnvlon'a
house and found the happy mother busy
trimming hat as usual. Puvion told how
he learned that he had the winning num
ber He was dumbfounded, but toon got
over the shock. He hurried to tell hi
mother and then hi wife, who would not
believe him.
"I shall continue to work, as well as my
family," he said. "My daughter attended
their customer as usual, and thl morning '
they helped in the house cleaning. I have
sent a telegram to my friend, Dumoulin,
who ha been through many trouble. I
told him I had won th million, and that
half ot It should be his. I consider that,
although the second ticket, for which he
gave me 10 francs, was never purchased,
he ha a right to half of my prise."
The blacksmith is highly asteemed by
