THE SULTAN AT A ROMAN CATHOLIC Wedding
The Courier de MarSeHe states that the Sultan has
attended the sOlemniZaton of the marriage, accor-
ding to the rites of the Roman Catholic Church, be-
tween the son of NJ p with the daughter of
the Prince of B. The report had long been
spread that the Sultan intended to be present at this
ceremony, but no one would believe that thing so
unprecedented could take place The Sultan, how
ever, arrived at the nuptial mansion without cere-
mOny, escorted by two horsemen only, followed by
few domestics He was received by the clergy and
the family of the bride and bridegroom. A throne
prepared for him, and after he had taken coffee
and smoked the sacramental pipe, the ceremony
commenced His Majesty stood up the whole time,
saying that he ought not to hear the name of the
Almighty God called upon in any other position

by Mexican silver worker, who pronounces it very
