Sir John Lubbock. the Scientist, GrOans
Through the Wedding Service.
One Of the most fashionable, and at the
same time one of the most strangely as
sorted, marriages OF the season, says
London special of the 18th inst, was
solemnized this morning in st. Peters
Church Eaton Square, Belgravia. The
bridegroom was John Lubbock, BarOnet, a
partner in the immensely wealthy bank
ing house of Roberts, Lubbock & Co., NJ.
p, for London University, fellow of the
Royal Society, and well-known diet
tante scientisl. especially in the domain
Of entomology and natural history.
He is a rich widOwer, just 90 years Of
age. very tall and thin, has thin, piping
voice. weak, squirting eyes, ard mas been
for years martyr TO govt, which cUHG9es
him to his bed most of the time, His last
appearance in the House of Commas v,,o.
at the "''.-- - - division on the vote of
censure last Tuesday night, when he left
his sick bed and hobbled on cTutches to
his place in the House, to give his vote to
the government.
He managed TO discard his erutches to-
DAY. and marched bravely down the aisle
Of st. Peters, with his feet enyelOped in
huge cloth boots. AS he stood before the
altar he repeated the marriage vows in a
troubled, querulOus voice, TO an accom-
pahiment of spasms OF pain from the govt.
The bride was Miss Fox Pitt, the
daughter of Gen. Rivers Pitt, of the Brit
ish army. and a granddaughter of peer.
She is both young and beautiful and was
superbly dressed in a robe OF ivory satin
br0cade. trimmed with orange blossoms
and lilies of the valley and garnished
with pearl ana diamond stars, the cos
tune being valued at $4,000.

lngs were purchased, but for long time
the matter wayered in the balance. But
those who had it in hand were jealous
ana untlring, and now the gallery has
been opened with a collection of pictures
valued IN the aggregate at almost ST., coo,
and the committee reports the outstand-
ing debt, after everything has been put
into shape, at only thousand dollars. 1t
has been a hard pull to get thus much to-
gether, but there is supreme satisfaction
over our beginning, small as it is. Two
days in every week it will be open to the
public.
Yesterday the city offices were closed
and the flag on the City Hall at half mast.
while the tire-hells tolled through the fu-
neral services Of a negro man, the janit0r
OF the City Hall for many years. No such
tribute was ever paid before in cur NUM-
elpal history to one of his race. This man.
Madison Minis, was one of the leaders
among the educated and progressive ne
gr0es of this section. He was a warm
personal friend of most Of the prominent
local politicians; he held his position I'M
