of Newcastle,

Is the Wife Of Lord Hope.

in London.

LONDON. March 30.-The PeeraRe,
just issued, announces that Lord Fran
els Hope has been married to May Yohe.
the American actress. This appears to
settle the question which. for months
past, has been discussed in various so
cial circles.
Miss Yohe herself told a friend nearly
year ago that she was married to Lord
Francis Hope. The report was published
dt that time and provoked denial from
Lord Francis and his family.
The editor of The Peerage doubtless
had direct authority for the announce
ment which he now makes.
Under the heading of the Dukedom of
Newcastle he says that Lord Henry
Francis Hope Pelham Clinton Hope,
who was born Feb. 3. 1856, was married
to Miss May Yohc.
The date of the marriage 10 not re-
corded in the Peertge.
Lord Francis Hope is the brother of
the Duke of Newcastle who was married
in 1859 to Kathleen Florence May,
daughter of Major Augustus Henry
Candy; and, consequently Miss Yohe's
husband is heir presmptive to the
Dukeiom of Newcastle. AS the pres
ent Duke Ia said not to be likely to have
an heir, May Yohe may be Duchess of
Newcastle.
Miss Yohc Is at present all the rage In
London. She is charming large audi
ences nightly. at the Lyric Theatre,
where she is appearing in Little Chris

cesscs of the season.
The plantation songs OF Miss Yohe
are now sung in many aristocratic
drawing rooms in London and elsewhere
The Prince Of Wales has repeatedly
visited the Lyric Theatre to see Little
Christopher culumbus, and was pre-
sented to Miss May Yohe behind the
scenes.
