Tbe meeting of the Privy Council are about the moat im port ant of those which control the fate of the nation, aud to give a financier the entree to them was to all precedent. In fact, even eo prominent a nobleman aa Lord Hardwickle had been objected to as Privy Councillor because he happened Us be a member of a firm of stock brokers in the "city." aud before he could Join the council had been obliged tn become merely a sleeping partner I tbe buainess. So when King Edward Intimated to Lord Salisbury that he waa determined to confer the title of 'P.

The puhlln hadnt long to wait for in the next distribution of birthday honors the financier's appointment to the Privy Council was announced, notwithstanding the feet that Prime Minister Balfour was supposed to have kicked against it almost as hard as his uncle had done. And most people will be surprised If the King doesn't boost his confidential adviser into tbe House of Lords before long. Sir Ernest married a daughter of the late R. T.

After that it didn't take Cassel lung to make himself solid with his future sovereign; in fart, the fricadshlp between them ripened In a way that astonished every ene that knew about it. How far Sir Ernest waa prepared to go was not realized, however, until about a year later ihe King got interested in the cure of consumption and wanted to start a sanitarium for that puriMKUi Then the Isuker s.it down and drew a check for $1,000,000, which he handed to His Majesty to help hia scheme along. And later when there waa distress in Egypt. Cassel waa the Joseph who rome to the rescue with another check for $200,000 drawn to the order of Lord Cromer, the Egyptian consul genqyal.
