WEDDING OCCURRED JULY u.
The Prince OF wales Sends C~ongratuia-
tions-Tbs Wedding Was Private, and
the Only witness was Mrs Langtry's
Daughters.

LONDON, Aug. 16 Mrs. Lily Lang
try, the actress, was married July 2.,
in the Island Of Jersey, to Hugo Ger.
aid de Battle, 2s years Of age, the
eldest son Of Sir Henry Percival de
Battle, Bart, a retired general and
Crimean veteran. The ceremony was
private, and the only witness was
Mrs. Langtry's daughter. The Prince
Of Wales is said to have been in the
confidence Of the pair and he sent
them q telegram Of congratulations.
Tho wedding occurred the day MIR.
Jerseys" Mrs Langtry) horse Mer-
a won the Goodwood cup.
Mrs. Langtry, in an interview at
the theater, said: Eyes. IL is quite
true, I am married to Mr.. de Battle.
The wedding occurred very quietly at
my old church, st. Saviour's, Island Of
Jersey, where my dear old father off,
ciated so often. 1t was pretty much
in the nature Of a runaway match,
as we kept it to ourselves, hoping 1t
would leak out gradually. l see the
papers put me down as AZ years old
'SA' iOW ycorS oiehcE way uoCS NV
matter; but l am only 80, for the old
clerk at st. Saviour's took my age
from the church register OF births.
II know nothing Of Hugo's estates.
Indeed, l have not been there yet.
Newspapers, as a rule, don't spare
me, and have often criticised me
when l did not deserve it. The very
idea OF newspaper comment makes me
nervous. hope the newspapers will
speak nicely Of our wedding now that
the news has leaked out.
"The prince Of Wales was, as he
always Is, thoughtful. He remem-
bered US kindly by congratulations
But, I am sorry his name was mem
toned, as what he did was done pri-
vately and out Of pure friendship.
"Mr. Frohman Is arranging with me
for an American tour. l long to 60,
for I love the people Of that country.
OF course, my husband will accom-
pany me-"
Sir Henry de Battle has estates in
Devonshire, Sussex and County
Meath, to which the bridegroom is
heir.
Sisters Of the bridegroom are mar
ried to Henry McCalmont, Harry Law
son and Sir Savile Brinton Cfossley,
Bart. The wedding will not inter.
fere with Mrs. Langtry's forthcoming
season at the Haymarket theater.

GREAT COOPERATIVE PLAN.
Mayor Jones Of Toledo and the
Launch New schema

~
Launch New Schema
TOLEDO, Ohio. Aug. 1 e.-The Broth
erhood company incorporated yester-
day at Columbus has been organized
for the purpose Of placing in opera
tion the greatest cooperative scheme
ever attempted in the country.
Among those who are mentioned
In the list of incorporators are
Mayor Jones, Of this city, and
J. A.. Johnson, a millionaire Of
the state OF Washington. The Broth
erhood proposes to distribute stock
over the country In small amounts,
the investors being fully protected by
cooperative life insurance. The plan
includes a great amount Of education
al work in connection with the actual
operation OF the cooperative plan
In the way of building cities and
placing cooperative farming com.
munities. In every place where the
sentiment has developed, the
projectors propose building one Of
those colonies and IL will be extended
as the finances admit. The first Of
these colonies will be established on
the shores OF Lake Erie, near this
city, and 1t is understood that more
than half the money required has
been pledged by the people Of Toledo.
Among the lines Of education there
are many plans for cooperative
schools which the projectors have not
fully wrought out. The organization
as now formed has liberal financial
backing. Mayor Jones tonight stated
that while the Brotherhood was not
as wide as his idea Of corporation, it
would serve to assist in working up
the sentiment.
