Lord. Glenconner, eldest brother of Mrs. Asquith, has once more been holding court at the royal palace of Holyrood, at Edinburg, as lord high commissioner to the assembly of t state church of Scotland. His te of office lasts t €reign preroga- and represents the monarch as his viceroy in the northern kingdom. No matter what his rank is the peerage, he is addressed for the nonce Your Grace," as though he were a duke, instead of as "Your Excellen- ¢y," with which the Irish viceroy has to be content, and is also apostrophi- zed as "Sir," just as in the same man- ner as the king and the princes of the blood. Lady Glenconner shares her hus- band's honors, and has not only been for the last two weeks "Your Grace" but has also been attended by ladies in waiting and maids of honor, while at the receptions which have taken place at the palace and at the garden parties which she has been giving, as wife of the lord high commissioner, the women attending them have ren- dered to her much the same obeis- sance as to royalty. The office of lord high commission- er at Edinburgh was first instituted in the spring of 1600, when James VI. of Scotland, who afterwards as- cended the throne of England as James I., was asked by the general assembly of the Scotch church to nominate a representative, out of a list of six submitted to him by the national kirk to preside over the de- liberations. It was at first suggested that the monarch's deputy should be an ec- clesiastic, and should bear the title of bishop. But the latter was a des- ignation which sounded even more disagreeable to Presbyterian ears than it does today. Moreover, it was argued that since the king's high commissioner was to act as arbitrator in the name of the sovereign, in the event of differences between the various factions of the general assembly, it would be prefer- able that he should not be a divine, but a layman. Accordingly a peer was chosen by King James," and re- ceived the title of lord high ¢ommis- sioner which has been used fer this particular office ever since. The assembly, which always takes place in May, has the effect of at- tracting to the Athens of the North, representatives, lay and ecclestastical of the chureh, from all parts of Scot- land. There are ministers and elders, university dous and Presbyters, with their wives and their sons and their daughters, and while the religious element abounds, and is much in evi- dence throughout the fortnight of the assembly sessions, yet it cannot he sald to predominate. Bring Nobles to Town. For the festivities organized at Holyrood by the lord high commis- sioner, serve to bring to Edingurgh mauy of the great Scotch nobles, and the representatives of tbat ancient and oft 'untitled aristocra"y of the Highlands and of the Lowlands, nor- th of the Tweed. The sojourn of the lord high commissioner at the pal- ace of Holyrood is, in one word, the real season of Edinburgh, and the fact that it is so short, merely serves to add zest to its enjoyment, The lord high commissioner re- celves for his service during these two weeks a salary of $10,000, with allowances of about as much more. But the expenses of his fortnight's 'reign' usually amount to anywhere from $50,000 to $100,000 in excess thereof. Hence it is only very rich peers who are appointed as lord high commissioner, The latter has his lords in waiting, his aldes-de-camp, his chamberlains and his secretaries, is received on his arrival at Edinburgh, in state by the lord provost of the city, by all the local authorities, by the generals in command of the military forces in Scotland, and by representatives of the judiciary and the church, and then proceeds in a state carriage-and- four with a cavalry escort, through ithe streets of the city, lined on eith- er side with troops, to the palace of Holyrood, while the cannon salute, and the church bells ring out merry peals. On the following morning the lord high commissioner, . who usually wears the dark green and gold -uni- form of an officer of the Royal Ar- cher Guard, or of the lord lieuten- ant of a county, holds a levee at the palace, at which the principal un- thorities, the dignitaries of the church, and state, the great nobles, the chieftains of clans, ete., are pre- sented to him, Lyon King at' Arms of Scotland, and chief of the heralds of {the northern kingdom being in atten. dance, with his heralds and pursul- {vants, in their * gorgeous gold-em- broidered, multi-colored tabards, with their chains and wands of of- fice. Thereupon the lord high commis. sloneér proceeds in state to the ane- lent cathedral of St. Giles, whence, latter a short service, he goes to the |general assembly of the church of [Seotiand, which, after presenting the patent bearing the royal sign-manual he opens in the name of the king, guns booming from the castle heights giving notice to the people that the nearest approach to a Scottish home rule parliament has commenced its session. Every morning throughout the en- suing fortnight the lord high com- issioner presides over the delibera- tions of the assembly until the lun- cheon hour, the actual work of spea- ker or leader of the house being done by the moderator, who is elected each year by the assembly, from a- mong the most eminent Presbyter This is a very pleasing and conveniently designed house in the gambrel roof style, compact, graceful and economical, The porch opens into a hall containing a pretty gtaircase and at the right a parlor. The dining room has a bay end and is a large bright room. Kitchen is well arranged and located. On the second floor are four bedrooms and a central tion stones, and to the performance | of all those other duties that in Eng- | land fall to the share of the sover-| eign, and to the princes of the reign- Nightly State Bandugler"s Each evering there is a state bans quet, at which there is usually jmid nimum, of a hundred guests, A while military bands play:id the qug- | drangle, pipers march around tHe dinner table, after having piped the viceregal procession into the ancient banquetting hall, all lined with pic-: tures of Scottish sovereigns, dating from the days when Pontius Pilate was born in Scotland. Lord Glenconner"s patronymic is' Tennant, and he takes his gitle from the name of the old farm Glencon- ner, in the parish of Ochiltree, in Ayrshire, where his greatgrandfather Jobn Tennant, was wont to enter- tain, his intimate friends, and poet Burns. Indeed, in Wallace Chambers' biography of Burns, John Tennant is frequently referred to as "Auld Glen- conner." It was the latter's son Charles, who, bred as a weaver and bleacher, patented in 1798 at greatly improved process for the employment of liquid | chloride of lime, and afterward of dry chloride of lime, founded works at St. Rollox, on the north bank of the branch of the canal which con-| nects the Forth and the Clyde, to work the patents in question. The! success of the undertaking was as- sured from the first, as the cost of | bleaching cotton cloth was reduced oy 93 per cent. Tennant Family Riches, By degrees the St. Rellox works | became one of the primcipal chemical works of the United Kingdom, and | today St. Rollox and the great Thar-' sis Copber company, owning immense copper mines in Spain, in which the stock is almost entirely owned by the Tennant family, contributes to ren- der Lord Glegeonner, one of the rich-; 38t members 'of the house of lords. He 1s also, the head of the Steel com- pany of Scotland, and it is in con- nection. with its relations to the Steel Trust in America, that he oc- casionally erosses the Atlantic, to keep in touch with the moving spirits of that great American organization.
