OF whom are very pretty. Their

Much as has been written and goSsiped
In anticipation of Stanley's wedding,
the event itself not only met, but far
exceeded in Importance and interest all
expectations concerning it. Many per-
sons who were inclined to smile incred-
ulously when the newspapers predicted
that this would be the
Grandest NOn-ROyal Wedding
of the country are now admitting the
obvious fact that the prediction was cor
rect. Westminster Abbey has never
contained more distinguished assem-
blage than that which eagerly took adj
vantage of the opportunity to-day of
witnessing the marriage Of the most
popular hero of the time, and one of the
loveliest and brightest women of Eng
land. Mr.. Stanley'S unfortunate and Sc
rious Illness served to lend added inter-
est to the occasion and tinged with some
thing of pathos an event otherwise full
of joyous realization and happy prom
Use, From early dawn the couple were
showered with kilograms and notes of
solicitous inquiries. and hundreds of
queStionerS we're made glad by the
answer that though Mr.. Stanley was
still a sufferer, the ceremony would be
carried out according to the original ar
rangements. Among the inquiring
friends were the Queen, the Prince and
Princess of Wales, King Leopold, of
Belgium, and other royal personages.
The day though not bright one,
was as auspicious as any bridal
couple has the right to expect under
London skies. All London felt the stir
of the occasion and only when some
event of importance in royal circles is
on the tapis does the popular interest
become so manifest as it was to-day.
The streets in the vicinity of the abbey
were crowded from an early hour, and
curious scenes were observable among
the throng during all the morning.
There were hundreds of enterprising
yenders of flowers and wedding
favors, photographs of Stanley and
his bride, histories Of the lives
of the happy couple, and other appro-
pirate articles Of merchandise, all of
which found ready sale. An extra de-
tail of police assisted in keeping order
both without and within the sacred ed
