Contrary to the popular Impression, the dignity of Prince of •.•.•=■-. as borne by fr* British heir apparent, is older than that of the Doiß of Cornwall. Edward I •*as the first ■ ■■:£ of England to create Jii? fldeFt son Prince of Wales, with the object of reconciliiig the Welsh chieftains t" Eng'ish domination after the death of Ls,»,,<>nyn. the last native ruler of Wales. But Jt was not until th« reign of Edward 1U that the latter raised the earldom of Co-nivall into a dukedom and bestowed it vr>on his son. Edward the Black Prince, i»lth the provision that ■• should always v. held by the heir apparent who was the yon of the sovereign. Prior to Edward TH Bw earldom of Cornwall was deemed too ■powerful and too rich to be trusted to the •pos^ccEjon of any but men closely akin to the signing house. William the Conqueror bestowed it upon his half-brother. Robert Of Mortain. Of other earls related to the sovereign the most important were Richard, brother of Henry 111. also known as King: at the Romans, and his son Edmund. The new Duke of Cornwall's property Is ►fi as In olden times, restricted more or Jess to the county of Cornwall. In fact. the estates which he now owns in the *-ounty do not extend over an area of more Than twelve thousand acres, whereas, as Date of Cornwall, he owns more than fifty thousand acres in Devonshire, many thousand acres more in the neighboring county of Somerset and a large amount of real estate In London. Thus the greater part of what was ence known as the Lain ; eta Marsh and most of that Southern por tion of London now known as Kenning ton belong to the duchy of Cornwall. It is from this London property that the new duke will derive the major portion of his revenues. The land Is let out on ninety nine year leases, and until these leases 'ill in the Duke of Cornwall for the time betas, no matter how much be may be the ground landlord and draw money from the ground rents, nas absolutely no control over the buildings as long as the terms of the lease are not broken. It hi owing to this that the new heir apparent finds, him t-«>if jn possession of some of the most icefal slums in the British metropolis, lor the condition of which, however, neither he nor his father nor yet his grandfather Wore him can really be held responsible. Not until the leases Call in. cither through rxpiration or through non-payment of cround rent, will the Duke of Cornwall have the right to resume control of the land, to take possession of the buildings erected thereon by the leaseholders, to rr.z*> the objectionable tenement houses and to •rove the property. Besides these *O'.jrccs of revenue the young duke hi en- Titled as such to tithes in the county of Cornwall, to royalties on coal mines and tin inines a/tthta its borders, to all property l'ft by heirless states in Cornwall, to foreshore rights and to wrecks.

REPORTS MT. VERNON MEASURE It Provides Government by Commission for Westchester City. Albany, May 11.— Mount Vcrnon will be the first city in this state to have a com mission form of government, provided a bill reported to-day by the Senate Cities Committee is passed by the legislature. The executive and legislative functions •ill be vested in a council of five, one member of which is to be elected every year.
