WiNBtti ElliGon.

Miss Patti Ellison, the Louisville
girl who is TO marry Sir Charles
Henry Augustus Frederick Lockhart
Ross of England, is a descendant of
one of Americas most distinguished
revolutionary families. She is a
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Ell
lison OF Louisville. Her great-Rrand
father was General Charles Scott,
third governor of Kentucky and a
general on the staff of Washington
Sir Charles is the third largest land
owner in Great Britain, his estate
Rajnagowan Castle, Parkhill, Ross
shire, Remington, Lanarkshire. being
rated at 800, 600 acres, with more than
5000 tenants. His deer forests are the
most extensive in Scotland. He has
many interests In Canada, copper
mines in British Columbia and in the
Klondike.
The marriage Is to take place in
Louisville about the middle OF Novem-
Der. After spending the winter months
In London and In Scotland Sir Charles
and Lady Charles will return to Mon
treal, where they will reside for year
Sir Charles is the ninth of his title,
TO which he succeeded In 1883. A
lieutenant OF the Seaforth Highland
ers, he rose to the rank of major OF
volunteers In the campaign in South
Africa. His education was received at
Elton and Trinity. Cambridge. He is
fond of sports. is a skillful athlete. and

rife which has won him some fame.

dominance is equally marked in pri-
vate business enterprises. The only
| thing left of the former Chinese regime
is the accumulated fl in the streets,
over which Cossack orderlies dash with
the indifference OF lifelong familiar
ity.
The significant feature of this
sweeping change is the fact that ths
Manchus rather like II. These nomad
Tartars never had much sympathy for
the fossilized conservatism and absurd
ceremonialism that seem so dear to the
Chinaman. Their Independent spirit:
revolted against the abject kowtow de-
manded by every petty Chinese official
They find that they can speak freely
| and informally to Russian officials. and
they appreciate the difference. The
Russians also are developing the mines
and industries of the country with
amazing energy, and have brought
prosperity In their train. Tartars who
formerly worked for 81 a month now
can earn so cents. or even 81, a day
The Russians do not trouble the ma
tives with any sanitary or social re-
forms. and their ideas conflict With
none Of the ancient prejudices Of the
Mongols.
The net result is that the Manchus
are fairly reconciled to Muscovite rule
The silent methods of Russ an con-
quest have availed to annex tn $ new
empire without a struggle. On the
whole the change appears to be as
beneficial to the Manchus as 1t Is
profitable to the Russians, for. when
all is said. the Russian government Is
to be preferred to that of the Chinese
Empire.

Is Suicide Our National SIM

In a sermon delivered in Chicago re-

"As decline OF home life and mother
hood has become the national sin OF
France, as intemperance has become
the national sin OF England and Ger
many, so suicide is likely to become
the national sin OF America II the
alarming Increase of this unhappy vice
continues In our midst"

prophecy the appearance of plauslbil-

Of suicidal statistics by nations the

of the commission does not alter the
situation materially, however.

Mo, and the resolution reads as fol-
lows:
