The King and the Consump tives

ANONYMOUS GIFT OF £200,000

The British Medical Journal states that the "King has quite recently found another opportunity of showing his sympathy with the movement i againa. tuberculosis in a highly practi oal manner. A, large sum of money— understood to be about £200,000 — ha. been placed at His Majesty's dis posal for charitable or utilitarian pur. poses by a philanthropist who, for the present, does not wish hia name to b. made public Thia money, by the King's direction, is to be devoted to the erection of a sanatorium for tuber culosis patients in England. For the carrying oufe of this purpose His Majesty has appointed an advisory committee, consisting of Sir William Broadbent.Sir Richard Douglas Powell, Sir "Praneis Lb king, Sir Felix Season, Sir Herman Weber, and Dr O Theo dore Williams, with Dr Horton Smith and Dr John Broadbent as honorary secretaries. The sanatorium is in tended to accommodate one hundred patients—fifty male and fifty female. Of the total number of beds, eighty eight will be reserved for persons who can pay only a small amount towards the cost of treatment, while twelve will be set apart for well-to-do Bttfierers

It ib now officially intimated that Sir Ernest Cassel, previous to his re cent departure for India, placed at the disposal o£ the King £200,000 for charitable or utilitarian purposes. His Majesty for a long time past has felt the necessity of providing additional sanatoria in England "for the open air treatment of tuberculosis. He decides therefore, on devoting this generous gift to that special object, which will be carried out, when a fitting site Iba® been acquired, under the per iooal direction of the King with the Resistance of an advisory committee,

The Daily Telegraph says r—His ex pirees wish having been disregarded, and hia name published, it may now be Bfcated that Sir Jirnest Oassel, K.O.M.G, of Dalby Hall, Melton Mow bray, and 48 Grosvenor Square, desired that strict anonymity should attach to his gift. Sir Ernest sailed for India via Egypt some days ago, and he is now breaking the journey at Oairo. Tha son of a German baker, Jacob OaaseJ, of Cologne, be is in his fiftieth year„ England bas been the country of his adoption for the greater part of bis life, and as a clerk in the house of Messrs Bischoffabeim & Goldsmid he early became versed in city affair?, rising step by step until he. became the confidential adviser of the partnership which has ceased to exist for some years. It was during this portion of his career that Mr Oassel had much to do with operations In ' Erics,' at a time ■when they whre the feature of tbe Ame rican market. Mr Cassel's prominence aa a financier may be said to date from his successful services rendered to the Egyptian Government in 1899, in re cognition of which he received the KOMG. The donor is a Jewish family, but be is not a member of the Jewish community, and if his support has been given to its chanties it haa always been an anonymous denefaction, Sir Ernest Oassel ia a widower, his wife—the daughter of Mr R T Max veil—having died in 1881, three years after her marriage.

Poverty of English Clergymen.

(Prom the St James Gazette )

The mean pittance to which the increase of population, the depression in land, _»d other causes have redhced clerical incomes fs a standing disgrace to churchmen who take no effective steps to remedy thia state of things. There are, the Bishop of London tells 08, over 4700 clergymen, presumably educated gentlemen, whose professional emolument is nnder £155 a year. That is a state of affairs which ia not for the welfare of the nation or the church. • The clergy do not ask for luxury,' but it is essential that they should be gentlemen, and they naturally have the instincts and tastes of their clas., and, above all, the desire tbabthelr childrenshouicl be brought rap with advantages similar to those which they themselves received.

The alternative to making proper provision for the clergy Is thab wa roust be content either with men oppressed with the carking cares of poverty, or with men of no breeding who take orders for the sake of tha social position thereby obtained, neither of which are at all desirable things.
