LONDON While the Liberal major
ity In the house of commons con
tinues to ware war on the house
of lords the creation of new peers
till foes on. To commemorato
hla birthday King Edward has been
. "graciously pleased" to add four new
names to the hereditary and Irresponsi
ble legislator who, according to his
constitutional advisers, are at present
the greatest obstacles to social and po
litical progress In the kingdom. It
Is Just another Illustration of those
Inconsistencies and anomalies which
abound In England. Incidentally. It
conveys an assurance that the supply
of peers will more than keep pace with
the demands of American heiresses.
While exercising their law making, or
law rejecting, functions, peers dress
Just like ordinary folk, and. for the
most part, are indistinguishable from
the common herd, for few of them really
posse those aristocratic features
which the authors of servant girl serials
ao generously bestow on their titled he
roes. But a new peer is required to
make his first appearance in the gilded
chamber In his official robes. Thus
gorgeously attired and supported on
ither side by a nobleman of his own
rank, the new lord walks down the floor
of the house until the throne is reached.
He bows solemnly to It three times
while his two companions make the
same number of salaams In unison. The
lord chancellor bobs his horse-hair be
wlgged head three times In acknowl
edgement end then receives from tho
newcomer his patent of nobility. H
makes a pretenue of perusing the royal
authorization and hands It back and
with nine more obeisances to the throne
three apiece the peer and his spon
sors retire and that ends the Initiation
ceremony. After that the new earl or
baron may take his seat In peace, and In

comes once more outwardly a common
place mortal.
Prime Minister Presses Button.
Nominally, of course. It is the king
who bestows these exalted honors, but
In most cases it Is the prime minister
who Is responsible for them. He tells
the king on whom he wants peerages
conferred and the king confers them.
It is a case of the prime minister press
ing the button, as it were, and his ma
jesty doing the rest. Before Mr. Bal
four relinquished the helm of the ship
of state he paid off some of his po
litical debts with coronets and when Sir
Henry Campbvll-Bannerman grasped the
tiller he added some more names to the
august muster roll of the house of
lords. In some benighted countries ti
tles are still openly bought and sold.
That Is regarded as disgraceful here,
but It is well-known that several peer
ages have been bestowed on rich men
for no other reason than that they have
contributed heavily to their party's cam
paign funds. Most people of unblused
minds would regard the open purchase
system as the better one.
But whatever it may have cost the as
pirant for aristocratic dignities to get
his name on the list which the prime
minister submits to the sovereign he
has t.i Fhell out more money before he
can blossom forth as a full-fledged peer.
He his to pay a considerable fee for the
letters-patent conveying the royal au
thority by which he is ennobled. The
amount varies in an ascending scale ac
cording to the rank given him. For
a baron it is $750, for a viscount $1,000.
for an earl $1,250, for a mnrquls $1,500.
and for a duke $1,750. No reduction Is
made on account of previous payments
for each successive rise on the peerage
ladder. The full fee has to be paid,
O. D.. every time. The first Duke of
Wellington was a baron, a viscount, an
arl, a marquis and a duke all rolled
into one and the combined fees which
he had to pay for the five patents of
nobility amounted to $6,250. A modi
cum of the fees paid finds Its way to
the treasury and the substantial bal
ance goes to that mysterious Institution,
the Herald's college, or College of
Arms.
Must Buy Impressive Robes.
When he has settled for his patent of
nobility the new peer has to dicker with
a court tailor for his official robes,
without which he cannot make his first
entrance Into the house of lords. The
robes are made of very fine royal scarlet
cloth, trimmed with ermine, the rank
of the wearer being indicated by the
number of ermine bars which encircle
the upper or should-v part of the robe.
A duke shows four of these bars, a mar
quis three and a half the latter going
Just half way round, an earl three, a
vlscouirt two and a , baron only one.
The cost of the robes vary according to
the capacity of the peer to drive a
good bargain, but the average price of a
set Is about $1,000.
Then the Jeweler han to be reckoned

Np "KNOCKERS" IN PHILIPPINE MISSIONS He
Missionary Belongs to the Prevalent Type of American Man
Good "Words for Filipino Roman Catkolic Church in the Islands
M'
By William T. Ellis.
ANILA, P. I. "There are no
knockers at missionaries In tho
Philippines." Thus a Manila
newspaper man colloquially
diagnosed the missionary situa
tion In the Islands. My own investiga
tions verified this opinion; the criticism
of missions and missionaries which is
o general In the port cities of the far
east Is conspicuous for Its absence in
Manila. The missionaries appear to be
on the best of termms with everybody,
from the governor-general down.
Ons of the most popular dinner clubs
, In the city is the Quill club, to which
most of the prominent men in Manila
belong, and which was organized by
two missionaries. Not until the recent
visit of Dr. Charles Cuthbert Hall and
Secretary I.loyd of the Protestant Epis
copal board, when they were guests of
- the club, was anything like a religious
topic even treated in the after dinner
speeches. This suggests a notable fact
about the Philippine missionaries. The
man Is not swallowed up In the minis
ter. So far as I met tnem personally,
I found the missionaries sharing the
characteristics of most of the other
Americans In the islands; strong, sen
sible, symmetrical men. seriously en
gaged in the business of making the
best nation possible out of the Filipi
nos. Catholic-Protestant Neighborliness.
Inasmuch as the Roman Catholic
church has been In the islands for 300
years, and most of the natives are, at
least nominally, members of that com
munion, I expected to find bitterness
and acrimony between the Roman
Catholics and the Protestants. But
this Is not the case, and for two rea
sons. The first is that the Protestant
missionaries have worked with tact
and quietness and have endeavored to " their way, adding great numbers out that It was not against the Amerl- ant Episcopalians, Methodists and Disci
