ALDERMEN oUsTED.
They Failed to Make Returns OF
Their Election Expenses.

Raleigh, N. c., May A.-The board Of
aldermen Of this city tonight ousted two
republican members Of the board because
they had not complied with the law re-
quiring them to return an itemized state
ment of their campaign expenses within
ten days after the election. This new law,
legislature, provides that failure to make
such returns works a forfeiture of the
office.
There are four other republi-
can members Of the board, all
of whom failed to comply with
the law. The reason only two and
not all Of them were ousted, was that it
was desired to make a test case of it and
have it decided before further action
should be taken.

from all the clubs Of the worlds me-
tropolis excepting the Carlton, which
took him in when he was first chosen to
parliament because he was Conservative
in politics. That he is a brave man in
the best sense was proved by MI. Bur-
dctt-C outts in 1877, four years before
his marriage, when he was still MIR.
Ashmead Bartlett. The war between
Russia and Turkey was on at that time,
and the baroness, then his employer
only, raised a 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 ill of typhoid fever in the au-
tumn of 1878. So greatly were his serv-
ices valued by the sultan that the Turk
ish p~otentate 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
ing ancestors, is another, for her chart
ties have been extensive almost beyond
calculation and generally of the practi-
cal sort.
Burdett-C outts is said to be of "dis-
tinguished appearance and pleasing a
ners, an excellent speaker, an earnest
politician and a regular attendant at the
house" to which he was first elected in
1885. He has done some writing, has a
fine stud Of horses, mostly hackneys,
keeps dogs and is considered a 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-C outts,
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
q 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 u%npopularity is due prob
ably to his American birth, it is I'M
d~oubtedly 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.

vote. Among those now sitting in the
Americans, and two who, though born
under 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
Of parliament are Sir Ellis Ashmead-
Bartlett, MI. Bartlett Burdett-C outts,
both Of the old Bartlett family of Plym-
outh, Mass, and Mr.. F. 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 E. B. Jones and DR.. j.
+. Fox.
! OF these five men Mr.. Bartlett Bur
dett-Coutts is best known in America.
There is no doubt whatever that he is of
the old Bartlett family, nor hat his
name when he first went to England was
William Lehman Ashmead-B 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 a
merchant, who had two sons, Ellis, born
in lS49, 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- Coutts, who was and
is distinguished as the richest woman
in England. From the time she set eyes
on the young American she exhibited a
decided preference for him and engaged
him as private secretary, a little more
than a 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
emolulnents 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 a cen
tury older than he; that she was III
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-C outts in
stead of Mr.. Ashmead- Bartlett. 1t took
a royal decree to legalize this change
Of name, but no such thing was neces-
sary to the realization of the other lead
ing condition-that 600, 900, or $780,
600, a year should be settled upon him
from the enormous income Of his aged
wife's estate. This great sum, it should
be understood, is his absolutely for
