Special to the Gazette.
daughter of the New York lady who mar
ried Mr.. N1cEwen, N. P, for Edinburg,
was married this afternoon in ST.
Marks church, on Audley street, to the
eldest son of Lord Greville. A full choral
service was rendered, and the occasion
was brilliant one. The troop of life
Iaoeards, of which young Greville is an
oHcer lined the aisle down which the happy
bridal couple passed from the altar.
1t is stated that Miss Anderson's mother
paid the debts of her prospective son-in-
law and settled 10000 on him as pre-
umlnary to the marriage contract.
THE JACKSON DECISION.
The Jackson case is already bringing
about its natural results, one of which may
be seen In memorial to Lord Salisbury
from the lord chancellor of England, which
is being actively circulated by Mrs. Jacob
Bright, praying the lord chancellor to con-
slider, in view of his recent decision in IA
vor of Mrs. Jackson, the anomalous posi-
ton of married women with regard to local
franchises. The petition lays especial
stress upon the fact that while married
women are not yet allowed TO vote in cleo
tons for school boards and boards of guard
ian, they are actually qualified to sit as
members of the same.
Several leading politicians express the
opinion that they are on the eve of great
social changes, of which the Jackson case IS
out premonitory symptom. Meantime,
by far the most piquant and original YER
dict vet pronounced upon this stu much
discussed case is that of prominent lady
politician who bemoans the decision ex-
tremely on the ground that there will
henceforth be nothing to prevent women
from marrying.

who has just terminated his engagement
with the Carl Rosa grand opera company,
has just accepted an engagement as leading
tenor at the Grand theater, Venice. Signor

omiSte Franchise. in an Interview to-day re-
g;lrding the resolution recently adopted at
the miners congress in Paris for an inter-
national strike for an eight-hour day, said
that resolution was not unanimously ap-
proved. and added that from the course of
discussions it is quite clear that there would
have been still larger number of dissen-
tionists if the declaration that the proposed
strike may become necessary had been less
eCutNOCII. IL IS uuile CcEliLll, Ilc sdItl, llidI
various governments
WILL NOT AGREE
to make an eight-hour day obligatory. The
analogy which the resolution attempts to
establish between such an international de-
cree and postal, Geographic, railway and
navigation conventions is, he maintains,
false, aud these conventions have to do
with
THINGS, NOT PERSONS.
r-Ta,.o &c no ctir,l1l for Instance that
persons of postal service shall be organized
in the same way in every country in the
postal union. Each nation is even left per-
1ucEly free to charge what it pleases for its
service. Then again, these
services are essentially public. They are
not private enterprises, as coal mines, with
few exceptions in Germany, are. An eight
hour day is quite new idea on the con-
tinent, and the great mass of French work
men don't approve of it.
In conclusion, NJ. Leroy Beaulieu stated
that he was not seriously alarmed at the
possibility of an international strike.
GENUINE SPoRTsMEN
are criticizing Justice Hawkins for sitting
in the libel suit of Lord Penrhyn against
the Licensed Victualler's Mirror, which
paper had accused Penrhyn. of improper
racing practices. Justice Hawkins is a
fellow member with Penrhyn of the Jockey
club Throughout the trial he allowed
irrelevant questions on plaintiffs side,
and in other ways showed bias in favor
of Penrhyn, who won the case. Lovers
Of fair sport would have preferred the
case to so otherwise, as an encourage
ment to honest newspaper criticism.
The art world is scandaliZed by revela-
tons which have been made of fraud in con-
nection with the recent sale OF old Holland
masters at Rotterdam. Three Van Dykes
and Rembrandt which brought immense
prices. have been proved forgeries. a gen.
eral overhauling of Van Dykes and Rem
brandts is now going on with a view to dis
covering whether further spurious copies
are in existence.
THE HUNGARIAN GOVERNMENT
is at last awakened to the necessity of TAX
ing measures to sustain the reputation of
its wines, which are alleged to have been
extensively counterfeited abroad. AS re
suit of increased vigilance on the part of
authorities in this respect, three wine mer-
chants al Wasgau, near Tokay, have been
fined 1900 marks each for selling ''chem- |
cal'' wine as the real Toliay.
