Hard Cash - Marriage OF the Earl OF
Rosebery and Hannah DE Rothsohiid.
There took place at London, on the
Goth of March, one of the most notable
marriages of this generation. 1t was
that of the Earl Rosebery and Miss Han
nah de Rothschild. The London corre-
spondent of the New York Herald gives
the following account of the splendid
affair:
The ceremony was performed twice
first in civil form, at the Registers office,
and then by an Episcopalian clergyman,
Canon Rodgers, of Christ Church, Off
ciating. The trousseau, furnished by
Worth, was one of the most magnificent
description. The bride wore the famous
Rosebery diamonds, including belt OF
very large single stones, spray OF sap
phires in the hair, and at her throat
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-
consfield signed the Register as wit
nesses Miss Rothschild was accom-
panied to the altar, as bridesmaids, by
four children, two of them her own rela-
tives and two being relations of Lord
Rosebery. The Earl was accompanied,
as his best man, by the Hon. Harry L.
Wilson.
This is the first marriage that has ever
taken place between a peer of Great
Britain and lady of Jewish family.
Hannah de Rothschild is the grand
daughter of the first English Rothschild
Nathan Meyer, OF Frankfort, who, in
1777, received letters of denization in
England, and was made Baron of Aus
tria in 1922. He died in 1886, leaving
by his wife, Hannah Cohen, of London,
seven children. Baron Sivnel, his heir,
was the first Jew to sit in the English
Parliament, and father of the present
Bar net, Sir Nathan Meyer de Roths-
child. The second son, Anthony, was
made Baronet in 1916, with remainder
to his nephews, as his two children were
daughters, Annie and Constructive
latter marrying a son of the Earl of
Hardwicke. The third son, Baron Ma
thauiel, married his cousin, daughter of
Baron James, of Paris. OF the three
daughters of Nathan Meyer, one mar
ried her cousin, Baron Anselm, of Frank
fort; another, Baron Charles, of Frank
fort; and the third, the Hon. Henry
Fitzroy, son of Lord Southampton, to
whom she bore a 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 Rosebery
He died in 1874, and his widow ION board
of her yacht at NIECE in the winter of
1876, leaving the daughter sole heir and
administrators of the estate. His share
in the family business was estimated to
be worth about $25, 10000 and to pay
the heiress Tin accordance with the GUS
tom of the family about $3.50, 900 year.
The real estate and other investments
are said to bring in another quarter of q
million, so that the new Countess brings
to her husband an income of million
dollars year, or considerably over 500
an hour, day and night. The Earl him.
self is rich, and is likely to inherit large
ly 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, ten or twenty years from now, the
richest man in England, not excepting
the Marquis of Butte or the Duke OF
Westminster.
The bride is about 25 years of age;
tall, straight, and with beautiful shout
ders, arms and bust, dark hair and eyes,
and trace of her Oriental origin in the
heavy yebrows and full lips that are
noticeable in her portrait. She is un-
usually clever and practical, and has adj
ministered her affairs with much spirit
and judgment, keeping up her fathers
splendid racing-stud.
