A MAN OF PRIVILEGE LONDON’9 LORD MAYOR A PERSON AGE OF POMP AND POWER. ’ irtor The Ft rut Hol«l#r ill llir lll«h ami Mighty Oflit*** Warn Fleeted In USD ■ ml I’ruved Popular - Dirk Whit tington and Other Ancient Worthies. The most Impressive thing about the mayoralty of London la Ita groat an tiquity. In Baxon ami Norman times London was an Independent state, and the chief magistrate—the portreeve, or the bailiff—was an absolute ruler. The first mayor was elected In 11S0, nml he was so popular that he retained the office for twenty-four years. The first lord mayor’s pageant was In the reign of Henry VIII., and In It ho figured as chief butler to Anne Boleyn. Through the long Intervening years the lord mayor has retained many of his prerogatives as a ruler. Most peo ple have no Idea how extensive his privileges are. He has his own chaplain (In olden days, like the monarch, he had his Jester, too), and badges of royalty are attached to hls office—the acepter, the swords of Justlco and mercy and the mace, lie has right of precedence in the city before all the royal family. Soldiers In any number cannot inarch through the city without hls consent. He has the right of private audience with the king. He has the privilege of direct entrance without question at royal levees. He can at any time dis solve the city courts, even that of the common council, by removing the sword and mnee from the table. lie ts lord of the river Thames, of the con servancy, and he coutrols the city purse. The majesty of hls state Is pretty considerable too. The city gives him a sum of £10,000 to expend. Hls palace, the Mansion House, Is furnished with plate and ornaments worth £100,000. He has a splendid retinue of servants, Including a sword hearer, mace hearer and seven trumpeters, whose liveries cost some £1,000 annually. Ho gives n yearly, banquet, which costs thou sands of pounds, and employs on army of 150 waiters, cooks and carvers Best of all, he has the power to mis# vast sums of money for charitable pur poses. In the last quarter of a century the lord mayors of London have raised nearly £0.000,000 for the relief of varl ous people in distress. Another feature which makes the lord mayoralty attractive Is Its glamour of romance. More often than not the king of the city Is a self made man Dick Whittington started out as apprentice, ns many other lord mayors hnve done. The mayor of 1011 camo to London In rags In a carrier’s cart. The wealthy mayor of 1418 had been a foundling. As recently ns 1800 we had a lord mayor of London who began life as a bricklayer’s laborer. When men of this character are ex sited to the seals of the mighty they are apt to do freakish things at times. The laborer mayor instanced above had n son who fell from n high ladder and was killed, and the mayor on being brought to the spot broke through the crowd, exclaiming, “See that the poor fellow's watch Is safe!" Another self ipnde lord mayor gave Charles II. a taste of his quality Charles dined with him in the city, and the wine passed so freely that the guests grew noisy and the mayor fa miliar. Charles therefore stole away to hls coach In Guildhall yard, but the bibulous mayor pursued h|s majesty and, catch Ip g iilm by the hand, cried out. with a monstrous oath, “Sir, you shall stay and tak’ t’other bottle!’’ And the merry monarch actually turned buck und saw the f)in to a finish. The temerity of this mayor seems all the more remarkable In view of the Stuart king’s tyrannous dealings with the city. lie linprtsdned twenty of the prlnHpnl citizens because they refused him a loan on had security. He fined the. mayor and aldermen £0,000 on the pretext of a trifling city riot and £50,- 000 for preteiid6d mismanagement of estates. The mayors themselves, however, could fine readily enough on occasion. For example, his worship of the year 1479 had one of hls sheriffs fined £.*0 (about £1,000 of our money) for kneel ing too close to him while at prayers In St. Paul’s. Yet another lord mayor (1832) made an nmusing blunder of speech at a din ner to Judges and leaders of the bar. "See before you,” he exclaimed mag- nlloquently, “the examples of myself, the chief pinglstrate of tills great em pire, and the chief justice of Englund slttfng at my right bund, both now In the highest offices of the state and both sprung from the very dregs of the peo ple!” These mayoral banquets, by the way, have always been wonderful affairs, ifn the year of George III.’s marriage there were placed on the tables 414 different dishes, excluding dessert. Forty-five years later (180(5) no fewer than seven of this monarch A sons wore guests at a mayoral dinner. The Guild hall banquet to the prince regent and the allied sovereigns before the battle of Waterloo was served on plute val ued at over £200,000 and cost £25,000. All this, however, Is hardly romance. We must revert to Sir Richard Whit tington for that Sir Richard ronlly did hear the bells of Bow telling him to "turn again,’’ and he did marry his wealthy master’s daughter, and he did become thrice lord mayor of London. But alas, he had no cat! There Is a story of Sir Richard which makes a good foil to the above of the laborer mayor. King Henry V. was dining with him in the city when Sir Richard caused a fire to be lighted and threw into it bonds to the value of 100.000 given him by the king for mouey lent, thereby freeing hls majesty from debt. The gratified monarch ex claimed. "Surely never hail king such a subject!”'To which the courtly Whit tington replied. "Silroly, sire, never had subject such a king!” Still prettier is the history of Lord Mayor Osborne (15831. Osborne was the apprentice of a mayor who lived on London bridge, and one day be dived Into the river and rescued hls master’s little daughter, who had fall en through n lattice window. Years after the girl was a rich heiress, court ed by earls and knights, hut her father eahl to them all, "No, Osborne saved her. and Osborne shall have her.” And Osborne, the hero apprentice, did have her and became lord mayor as well, great-grandson was subsequent.y •d Duke of Leeds. ich stories read like fiction, but they are perfectly true.

Th« Hindoo* I’roUabJy Uarnsd th* Art From tj»e Cblnuie. . The Chinese, who ♦Invented almost everything before anybody else heard of It. claim to he the original discover ers ’ of the process of sugar making, and It lx said that sugar was. used In China us long ago as fi.QOQfjfears. This Is misty, but the fuct is well establish ed that It was mnhdfnctured in China under the Tslrr dynasty 200 years at least before the Christian era began. India has put forward a otyjrn for priority of Invention, hut .the probabil ity Is that the Hindoos learned the art of sugar malting from the Chinese and that through them the knowledge final ly spread to tire westeTfi nations. Ne- archus, when sent by Alexander on an exploring voyage on the Indus, brought boek reports of "honey” which was made by the Asiatics from enne with out the help of bees'. At this time neither the Greeks nor the Jews nor the Babylonluns had any knowledge of spgur. but Inter the art of making the artificial “honey” be came known nnd practiced, though Its progress and development were ex ceedingly slow. It was prescribed as a medicine by Galen in A. D. 150, and up to the seventeenth century it bad become nothing more than a costly luxury, to be used only on special occa sions. Even as late as the beginning of the eighteenth century the annual consumption of sugar In Great Britain bad reached only 20,000.000 pounds, whereas it is now more than 2.000.000.- 000 pounds. Refined sugar was not made In Eng land till 1(559. The art of refining was learned by a Venetian merchant from the Saracens, who sold the secret to him for 100.000 crow up.
