parliament because he was Conservative
in politics That he is a brave man in
the best sense was proved by Mr. Bur
dett-Coutts in 1877, four years before
his marriage, when he was still Mr.
Ashmead Bartlett The war between
Russia and Turkey was on at that time,
and the baroness, then his employer
only, raised big fund, termed the
Turkish compassionate fund, for the re-
lief of Turkish refugees. AS commits
sioner of this fund he ran the gauntlet of
many dangers, which wound up by his
falling i'll of typhoid fever in the au-
tumn of 1878. So greatly were his serY-
ices valued by the sultan that the Turk
ish potentate conferred the imperial Or
der of the Medjidie upon the young
American. After his return to England
he went into the Irish relief work with
great vim and enthusiasm, and since
his marriage he has rendered all sorts
of public services.
Though a Conservative, he is one of
the idols of the British masses, and his
wife, whose great wealth was inherited
from a long line of immensely rich bank

1885. He has done some writing, has
fine stud of horses, mostly hackneys,
keeps dogs and is considered true
sportsman. Despite the disparity as to
age between himself and his wealthy
and aged wife, he now looks almost as
old as she
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
has also served as a civil lord of the adj
miralty, and it is this Office from which
he derives his title. Some four or five
years ago he was named correspondent in
a divorce suit, all the interested parties
to which, saving himself, were members
of the British aristocracy. He was de-
cidedly unpopular in London before that
and has been more SO since. Although
no part of his unpopularity is due prob
ably to his American birth, it is UNI
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 a ''true blue" Conservative.

the past year or two he has been par

Mr.. F. A Charming, the Boston born
man who is now member of parlia-
ment from Northamptonshire, is vast
~ different man from the brothers that
have just been described. This differ
ence is political as well as personal,
for while they are both intensely Con-
servatiye he is Liberal to the core. He
represents a district of Nottingham.
His father was the late w H Chan
ming, brother of the celebrated Will
liam Ellery Charming, who, after a Sc
ries of pastOrates in American cities,
was preaching to an English congrega-
ton in Liverpool when the civil war
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-
ter, the sister of Mr.. F. A Charming,
married Sir Edwin Arnold
DR. J. F. Fox, NJ. P from Tullamore,
who often passes for an American and
is not ashamed Of it, was born in Ire
land and educated at Queen s 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-
can.
Major Evan r. Jones, M. P from
Cardiff, despite his thoroughly Welsh
| name and his Welsh nativity, is more
entitled to be considered an American
than is DR.. Fox, for Major Jones fought
