A NOTABLE MARRIAGE.
A Daughter OF one Of the Rothsohilds
Married 10 the Son OF an English Earl.

The London correspondent of the New
York World recently made the following |
announcement of forthcoming wedding .
"The very uppermOst circles of society |
In London are agtated by the report OF |
the imminence of an extremely unusual |
and startling event. A daughter of the |
Rothschilds is about to be married to |
poor man, and this poor man Is a Chris
tian The young lady who is thus about |
to break with the traditions of her family |
and disregard the teachings of her religion |
is the daughter of Sir Anthosy Rothschilds, |
and the man upon whom she is resolved
10 be-tow her fortune and her heart is the
Hon. M. Yorke, a son of the Earl of
Hardwicke. | hasten 10 nip In the bud
the sympathy with which this news may
be received by members of the Society for
the Propagation Of the Gospel among the
Jews by adding that Miss Rothschiid is
not "converted, and that she is not going
to embrace Christianity For to renounce
her own religion. She will remain a jew
ess, and her husband will continue 10 be
at least nominally Christian. The dis
approval with which the aged and excel
lent Baronet, her father, regards the
match is said to be increased by his failure
to discover In his prospective bedttfls any
qualities either Of head or heart which
could justify or even excuse what be re-
CARDS as his daughters infatuatlon but
then it must he remembered that he Is not
in love with Mr.. Yorke, and that his
daughter is, and this makes all the diff, r.
ence in the world. The Rothschilds have
long formed sort of royal family of their
own-intermarrylng only with their cou-
sins and II is said that every possible
means Of persuasion haYe been brought to
bear In vain upon this young lady to In
duce her TO abandon her resolve. The
reluctant consent OF her father, or rather
the Withholding of his positive prohibition
of the marriage, has at last been obtained,
and the marriage, it is said, will soon be
celebrated"
The marriage was duly celebrated some
time afterwards, aud the same correspon-
dent gives the following particulars con-
) cerning it,
informed you some time ago that a
marriage had been arranged between Miss
Rothschild, the daughter Uf Sir Anthony
, de Rothschild, and the Hon. Eliot Yorke,
the younger son of the Earl Of Hardwieke,
and Equerry to the Duke of Edinburgh.
The lady, whI is twenty-nine years old,
although willing to marry a Christian,
was not willing to change her faith for a
husband, aud ii was arranged that there
should be first civil marriage and then
another in the parish church of Wimpole,
of which relative of the bridegroom is
I tho rector. But some of the extreme
. ritualists Of the Establishment took Into
their heads to spoil this arrangement, and
y they entered a caveat in the registry Of
\ Ely against the performance of the cere
u mony. This step compelled the bishop tc
:, interiict all the surrogates from issuing .
license for the wedding. So the civil

:, could be performed, and this event tool
Z place yesterday morning at the office O.
y the registrar for the district in whicl
$ The parties live, namely, Mount street
Grosvenor square.
The bridegroom was accompanied b,
his younger brother, the Hon. Alexande
: Yorke, and by Lord Royston. With th
. bride were her father and mother, Sir A
q and Lady de Rothschild, Baroness Meye
: de Rothschlld, Lady Darlington, Lad
# Adeane, Mrs. Montehore and Mr.. q
n Goldsmid. All the above named signe
the register. This afternoon the wedde
plir started for Wimpole, in Cambridge
shire, the seat of the Hardwlcke family
where the ceremony, according TO the SCI
:, vice of the English Church, was TO hay
i been performed. No marriage ceremon
- according to the jewish rite took place 0
- the house of the bride.
At the last moment a surprise awaite
~ the happy couple, for a telegram was r
3 ceived stating that the caveat had bee
withdrawn and that the second maria!
could take place. On arriving at Wimpol
therefore, the bride and bridegroom al
party proceeded from the hall to Il

as was simply but tastefully decorated, al
a the service was conducted by the Hon. AZ
