London Pays Little Attention to the Latest
Langtry sensation"

On Y Herald Cable)
LONDON, Saturday.-"Stale, fiat, I'M
profitable" that is about how everything
stands this week.
MRS. LANGTRY'S WEDDING.
Even the secret second marriage of the
Jersey Lily" to the soldier son of Cen
eral Sir Henry De Battle, belonging to one
of the oldest aristocratic families in Eng
land. has fallen quite fiat Mrs. Langtry
-, rather, Mrs De Bathe-said, in the in
terview cabed last Tuesday night, that
she hoped the press, which had been some
times very unkind to her, would now say
some nice things about her wedding But
they have said neither the one nor the
other They have simply chronicled the
fact in the briefest manner possible, and
made no comment at all.
How different would it have been, say,
ten years ago, when Mrs Langtry was a
society belief" A Langtry story then
would have commanded no end of space
to the exclusion of other news, and now
what she even herself terms her 'runa-
way" marriage is dismissed with a few
lines 1t is questionable if the wedding
would have become known even yet had it
not been for the fact that MIR. De Battle
had been attending rehearsals along with
his actress wife at the Haymarket The
atre every day for about a fortnight.
One morning, by inadvertence or other
wise, Mr.. Sydney Grundy, the author of
the play, addressed her as Mrs. De Battle.
Immediately the ears of all the company
on the stage stood up. Eyes were turned
on the interesting bride and bridegroom.
Mrs. De Battle smiled just the merest little
smile, and the truth was out.

A ROMANCE
Behind the Illaess Of John C. Hammond
who is in Bellevue. New York.
Engaged to Marry Coin" Harvey's
Daughter.

NEW YORK, August Pit was stated
to-day that John c. Hammond, young
man whose friends used an automobile fer
ali ambulance in hurrying him TO Bellevue
Hospital, is member of the widely known
and wealthy Hammond family, of Chicago.
He is, his friends say, grandson OF the
head of the great packing house enterprise,
G. H. Hammond & Cos He was suffering
from hemorrhages of the lungs when TAX
en- to the hospital. DR.. Armstrong, who
has charge of the young man, said that
he was getting along well.
There is an unusually interesting ro-
nance behind the illness of young Mr.
hammond He became engaged about a
year ago. it is said, to Miss Mary Hope
Harvey, daughter of W. H. Harvey, whose
writings on the silver question under the
nom de plume of Coin made him a ma
tional reputation. Mr.. Hammond had ex-
pected that his marriage to Miss Harvey
would take place early this year, but his
health has been so poor that he decided to
travel and seek its improvement.
1t was with this object in view that Mr..
Hammond came to this city from Chicago
several weeks ago. He has been visiting
friends here and looking after some minor
business matters He suffered considerably
from hemorrhages of the lungs last spring,
but seemed to be improving, when he had
another attack while he was engaged in
conversation with James J. Corbett, in the
latter's place in Sixth avenue.
Mr.. Hammond was about to start to call
on some friends in West Fifty-eighth
street when he fell to the floor uncons-
cious. Mr.. Corbett and others helped him
nj vrhi CT ~,
Sixth avenue, and he was hurried to Belle
vue Hospital with all the haste of an am
bulance.
Mr.. Hammond who had said he was
twenty-six years old, and that he lived at
No. 6,756 Union avenue Chicago, was
places under the care of Dr. Armstrong,
and soon recovered consciousness. He has
improved and may be able to leave the
hospital in a few days. He has been allow
ed to see several callers, among them men
and women whose dress and manner indi-
Gated that they were persons of wealth
Mr.. Hammond asked that their names be
not used
F'IANCEE'S PICTURE ON TABLE
On the table beside the cot on which the
sick man lees is a picture of his fiancee,
to whom he sent a telegram signed Jack"
assuring her that his sickness was not
serious. He sent a similar telegram to
his sister, Mrs. E. c. Morton, who lives
at No. 6S01 Union avenue, Chicago.
Mr.. Hammond said that as soon as he
was able to leave the hospital he would go
with a nurse to Galveston, Texas, by
steamship. From there he intends to pro-
coed into New Mexico. where he has
spent some time on a ranch.
