his marriage. when he was still Mr.

Russia and Turkey was ON at that time,
and the baroness, then his employer

Turkish compassionate fund, for the re-
lief Of Turkish refugees. AS commits
sioner Of this fund he ran the gantlet Of

The older brother of Burdett -Coutts,
Sir Ellis Ashmead- Bartlett, has been
more of a success ON his own merits than
has the husband of the baroness. He has
been in parliament ever since 1885 and

he derives his title. Some four or five
years ago he was named correspondent in

cidedly unpopular in London before that
and has been more so since. Although
no part Of his unpopularity is due prob
ably 20 his American birth, it is un-
doubtedly true that both brothers have
made themselves somewhat odious by
their persistent attempts to give casual
acquaintance the impression that they
are English born.
Like his brother, Sir Ellis Ashmead-
Bartlett is "true blue" Conservative.

liam Ellery Charming, who, after a So
ries of pastorates in American cities,
was preaching to an English congrega-

broke out. Owing to his devotion to the
Union, the Rev. Mr.. Charming then re-
turned to America and for some years
preached in Washington, where he be-
came chaplain of the senate. His daugh-

DIR. j. f. Fox. M. p. from Tullamore,
who often passes for an American and
is not ashamed of it, was born in Ire
land and educated at Queens College
court, where he took up music teaching
as an occupation. Later he came to
America, studied medicine ON this side
Of the water and for some years prac-
ticed at Troy. It is this circumstance
that gives him his repute as an Ameri-

Major Evan r. Jones, M. p. from

entitled to be considered an American

vote Among those now sitting in the
mouse Of commons are three native
Americans, and two who, though born
1nder the shadow of the British flag, at
some time in their lives have lived in
the United States and assumed the du-
ties of American citizenship. but hav-
ing returned to England have won the
right to sit in the British lower house
and to the honors that such right carries
with it. The American born members
IF parliament are Sir Ellis Ashmead-
Bartlett, Mr.. Bartlett Burdett- Coutts,
both Of the old Bartlett family Of Plym-
outh, Mass, and Mr.. II. A. Claiming,
born in Boston. The two members Of
parliament born on the soil of Victoria's
dominions who have been American citi-
zens, but have returned to the old coun-
try, are Major Il, b. Jones and DR.. J.
r. Fox.
OF these five men Mr.. Bartlett Bur
iett- Coutts is best known in America
There is no doubt whatever that he is Of
the old Bartlett family, nor that his
name when he first went to England was
William Lehman Ashmead- Bartlett,
but there is a question as to where he
was born, one authority giving his natal
place as Plymouth, Mass. another as
Brooklyn, and still another as New
Brunswick, N. J. According to the last
mentioned authority, the father of the
man now under consideration was q
merchant, who had two sons, Ellis, born
In l840, and William Lehman, born in
1851. These boys were sent to England
early in the sixties to be educated. The
older studied at Christ Church college,
the other at Keble, Oxford, and both
were duly graduated with honors-
1t was while the younger was in col
lege that he met his present wife, the
Baroness Burdett-C outts, who was and
Is distinguished as the richest woman
In England. From the time she set eyes
ON the young American she exhibited
decided preference for him and engaged
him as private secretary, little more
than year after his graduation in 1875.
At first he decided to follow the legal
profession, and to that end was called to
The bar of the Inner Temple, but the
smoluments of his private secretaryship
were so considerable that he gave up all
thought of the law and devoted himself
to the baroness and her fortune. In 1881,
after he had been in her service for about
five years, he married her, in spite of
the facts that she was nearly half GEN.
tury older than he; that she was I'M
comedy In appearance to the verge OF
positive ugliness, and that she had the
reputation of being almost as eccentric
as she was rich.
1t was one Of the conditions of this
marriage that the young American
should abandon his own name and as
sumo that of his wife, and that is the
reason he is now Mr.. Burdett- Coutts in
stead of Mr.. Ashmead- Bartlett. 1t took
royal decree to legalize this change
Of name, but no such thing was neces-
sary to the realization Of the other lead

works in the world. The library now

Jurisdiction of Justices In Point.

Judge Osborn has rendered de-
cision that will be of great interest to
Justice court litigants, as it upsets
proceeding that has become common.
The Judge holds that a justice of the
peace cannot try an action to sum-
marily determine property rights, up
on an affidavit of ownership, in case
where the property of a Judgment
debtor was levied upon and was claim
ed by third party. The history of
the case was simple. A man named
Anderson got a judgment in a justice
court against man named Johnson,
and levied upon some cattle in John
sons hands that were claimed by Cars
tens Bros. Carstens filed an affidavit
of ownership in the justice court, and
a hearing was had, the decision being
against them. Carstens Bros then re-
plevined in the superior court, and the
defense was made that the matter had
been adjudicated in the justice court,
upon this Judge Osborn rendered his
decision.-P.-I.

Preventing the Apple Canker.

Apple canker Or black spot of the
apple which is found on some of the
trunks of young trees and limbs of old
er trees, WILSON begin to enlarge in
sections west of the Cascade noun
tains after the fall rains have begun.
The remedy prescribed 10y Assistant
Pathologist Newton B. Pierce is to re-
move the deceased portions of the
bark so far as possible and apply a SOL
ution of the Bordeaux mixture. The
formula recommended for trees before
leaves have fallen is: Bluestone, 6
lbs. lime, 4; lbs. water, As gallons.
The formula to be used after leaves
are shed is: BluestOne, 6 lbs. lime
10 lbs; water, 40 gallons. In severe
cases both these solutions should be
applied and the second may be repeat
ed again in the spring. The Bordeaux
mixture can be easily made by plac-
ing the bluestone in bag of coarse
cloth and hanging this in vessel con.
tanning at least A gallons, SO that it is
Just csvered by the water. Use an
earthen or wooden vessel. Slack the
lime in all equal amount of water,
then mix the two and add enough
water to make As gallons.
Young apple trees from the nur-
series should be carefully examined
