CONCESSION TO WOMEN.
Special Seats to Be Provided for
Them in House of Lords.

cOrelSu SOIreSpODQence OF Inc Staf
LONDON, July 1.-THE women of Eng
land may yet be some way of from the
day when they will be enfranchised, but
they are slowly but surely breaking down
old prejudices and obtaining minor ad-
vantages. which were before reserved for
men. The latest concession is extended
accommodations for women who wish to
listen to the debates in the house Of
lords. which generally is the last to es-
tablish new precedents. Some women have
been dissatisfied with the accommodation
afforded in the, upper chamber. and the
lords have set about remedying this. An
order has just been issued instructing the
gentleman usher Of the black rod to
make especial use Of the box below the
bar, customarily occupied by him, for the
purpose of providing accommodations dur
ing the debates for certain ladies, who,
though not peeresses. are considered to
have claims to attend the sittings Of the
house"
1t is not disclosed who the favored la
dies are, but the demand for seats prob
ably arose from liberal ladies. who ex-
pect some interesting sessions during the
home rule debates.

Paris, where. since the advent of Car

JEWISH WEDDING FEAST
IS ATTENDED BY 5000
Remote District of a-Hungary
Scene Of Eight Days of Law
ish Hospitality.
Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.

| Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
VIENNA, July "a wedding whose
guests numbered more than 5000 persons
and whose feastng continued for eight
days was celebrated recently at Sadagora
| in Bukowina. one of those remote coun-
try districts of Austria Hungary where
mammoth wedding festivities on a scale
utterly unknown in America or western
Europe are the rule.
The affair at Sadagora exceeded in
magniticence and lavish hospitality any
ever. 1t was a Hebrew wedding. Sadag-
ora enjoys a certain fame in eastern
Europe as the seat of the renowned rab-
minical dynasty known as the miracle
rabbis. The bride was the daughter of
the grand rabbi of this line. Aaron
Friedman. and the groom, Salamon Fried
man. belongs to a branch of the same
| rabbinical dynasty at Czortkow. The
marriage was arranged by the chiefs of
the two families. entirely without the
they met for the first time only the
evening before the wedding at a prelim
| mary feast. when they danced together
| as sign of their willingness to marry.
The chiefs had taken it for granted that
there would be no hitch in their plans,
| and had invited the rabhinical families
of all the orthodox Jews in Russia, Po-
| land. Roumania, Galacia and Hungary.
HcS Sdmc OOWu OIl odudSOTd lllou-
| sands. Many were of imposing stature
| and patriarchal dignity. They wore black
| silk caftans, low shoes and white stock
| ings. while their ladies were attired In a
sort of crinoline and adorned with rich
| jewels. There were some dressed in the
| latest modes of Paris and Vienna.
| The ceremony took place in the gardens
of the grand rabbits palace guarded by
mounted troops. Thousands were unable
to hear or see what was going on SO
dense was the throng. but all had a
hand in the feasting which followed.
During the eight days the commissary's e
/ books accounted for 200 pounds of fish.
800 head of poultry. go pounds of beef.
| $500 pounds of bread and many casks of
wines. The grand rabbi was out of pock-
ct to the extent at least of $4,000
In addition to this he presented the
bridal couple with a palace in Sadagora,
completely furnished and equipped with a
! staff of servants. He will meet the en-
tire cost Of the household for a period of
six years. when it is assumed that the
young bridegroom will have attained a
position where he can support his family
| himself.

July 20 and all the possible accommoda-
ton has been applied for. 1t is under
stood the procureur general has given or
ders that no ladies shall be admitted,
but the order is not worth the paper it
is written on. No one has known an oc-
casion SO thriIlingly sensational when
women were excluded. Ministers. high
politicians and low politicians, not to
mention high officials. have cause to
know the power OF the petticoat govern
ment.
Trial May Last Six Days.
1t is expected that the trial will last
about six days. and that there will, no
doubt, be the usual dramatic scenes for
which French courts are famous Five
judges will try the case, M. Albanel pre-
siding. Maitre Labori, the lawyer for
the defense. will, it is stated, not deny
the facts. but will confine his efforts to
extenuating the guilt. 1t is stated that
there will be fifty witnesses for the prose-
cution and about twenty for the defense.
1t Is learned that NJ. Labori will sum-
mon a celebrated surgeon to say that
Calmette might have been saved If the
bleeding had been stopped and no opera
ton had been attempted. In any case
there Is likely to be a oattle royal ue-

Jury Already Selected.
1t is said that, contrary to all prece-
dent. the names of the jury are already
known and. further. that the points to
be submitted to them will enable the first
offenders act to be applied. They will
be asked to state whether the death OF
the victim was intentional on the part of
Mme Caillaux. or whether Calmette SIM

wounds he received without being invited
or expected to do SO by the avenger of

Irer's farm has been on the market
it is yet. Two weeks ago a man, who
registered at the local hotel as u. H.

met Irer, made some preliminary ar
rangements to look at his place and
then went away. In a few days he
came back. this time more interested in
the purchase of the farm than before.
A man who registered at the same
hotel as III. s. Hall OF Flint" but who
was not known to be acquainted with
Monroe also came. He went away with
out telling his business. a day or so
later he returned and, according 10
facts turned up by the sheriff. had
some conversation with Monroe before
he left.
Monroe met Irer by appointment.
I've got a couple of thousand dol
lars here in tin box that | wish
YOU would take care Of" said Monroe
to Irer as he exhibited roll that look

Irer cuddled the box under his arm
and Just to show his good faith" al

his own money in he box.
Then Monroe. under me name tina,
he had not used ct the hotel. hired a
livery rig, drove around on the main
street. and picked up Irer for a ride
out to the farm to clean up the sale
On the way out they met Hall and
picked him up. He was also looking
for "a farm to buy" In the next few
rods the horse was taken sick. so Mon

Monroe suggested that lrer get an
