Especial to the Chicago Tribune
New YORK, March 2O.-To-day there
took place privately at London one OF
the most notable marriages of the gen
Grafton, not yielding in interest to the
recent espousals of the Premier noble OF
England, the Duke of Norfolk, or even
to those of the King Of Spain. 1t was
that of the Earl of Rosebery and Miss
Hannah de ROthschild. A London dis
patch gives the following interesting ac-
count of the splendid affair:
The ceremony was performed twice
first in civil form, at the Registers
office, and then by an Episc0palian cler-
gyman, Canon Rogers, Of Christ Church,
officiating. The trousSeau, furnished
by Worth, was of the most magnificent
description. The bride wore the famous
Rosebery diamonds, including belt OF
very large single stones, Il spray OF sap
phires in the hair, and at her rhroat u
wonderful sapphire, one OF the largest
known to exist, which cost the bride
groom $4,000. All these were his gift
at the time of the formal betrothal in
January last, though it had been under
stood that she would marry him ever
since the death of the brides father.
The Prince of Wales and Lord Bea-
consfeld signed the register as wit
nesses. Miss ROthschild was accom-
panied to the altar, as bridesmaids, by
four children, two of them her own rel
ativeS and two being relations OF Lord
RoSebery. The Earl was accompanied,
as his best man, by Hon. Harry I. Will
son.
This is the first marriage that has
ever takn place between Il Peer Of Great
Britain and a lady of q Jewish family.
HANNAH DE ROTHSCHILD
is the granddaughter Of the first English
Rothschild-Nathan Meyer, Of Frank
fort, who in 1777 received letters of den
ization in England, and was made q
Baron of Austria in 1922 He died in
1886, leaving by his wife, Hannah Co
hen, of London, seven children. Baron
Sivnel, his heir, was the first Jew to sit
in the English Parliament, and father of
the present Baronet, Sir Nathan Meyer
de Rothschild. The second son, AnthO-
nv, was made Baronet in 1916, with
remember to his nephews, as his two
children were daughters, Annie and
COnstance-the latter marrying son
of the Earl Of Hardwicke. The third
son, Baron Nathaniel, married his cous-
in, daughter Of Baron James, of Paris.
Of the three daughters Of Nathan Mey-
er, one married her cousin, Baron An
selm, of Frankfort; another, Baron
Childs, of Frankfort; and the third,
the Hon. Henry Fitzroy, son of Lord
Southampton, to whom she bore
daughter, now the wife of Sir Coutts
Lindsay.
The only child Of the remaining son,
Baron Meyer-Amschel de Rothschild,
was Hannah, now Countess of Rose
berv. He died in 1874 and his widow
(on board of her yacht at Nice) in the
winter of 1876, leaving the daughter
sole heir and Administrative of the es-
tate. His share in the family business
was estimated to be worth about $780,,
GOO 900, and to pay the heiress Gn ac-
cordance with the custom of the family
about S750,000 year. The real estate
and other investments are said to bring
in another quarter of million, so that
the new Countess brings t. her husband
an income of
A MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR,
or considerably over 500 an hour,
dav and night. The Earl himself is
rich, and is likely to inherit largely
from childless relatives; and, as his
wife's fortune is in money, and the eX-
pense of keeping up gigantic establish
ments is thus avoided, he will probably
be, 10 or 20 years from now, the richest
man in England, not excepting the
MARQUIS of Butte or the Duke OF West
minister.
The bride is about % years of age;
tall, straight, and with beautiful shoul-
ders, arms, and bust, dark hair and
ewes, and trace of her Oriental origin
in the heavy eyebrows and full lips that
are noticeable in her portrait. She Is
unusually clever and practical, has ad-
ministered her affairs with much spirit
and 1r5I Judgment, @ keeping up her fathers It
splendid racing-stud-the late Baron
was a pillar of the English turf, and had
such horses as Tom King, Favonius
DERBY winner), Restitution, and his
daughters namesake, Hannah, that
won the Oaks and st. Leger-and TAX
ing a warm interest in the fortunes OF
her tenants. She inherits from her
mother generosity that is proverblal.
