The past week was pleasantly broken by a
number Of weddings, tho most prominent Of
which were the Smith-Judson nuptials Of
Thursday. But for the fact that the arrange
ments were hurriedly made the choristers
would have had orchestral accompaniment &c
their singing. The frequent repetition of the
wedding anthem, THE Voice That Breathed
Ger Eden, has created q little comment under
the superstition that these selections were en-
tirely voluntary on the part of the director.
The very contrary ia the case. This and the
other by mn usually sung are laid down
in the hymnal and are Just as obligatory as any
other Part Of the service. When the new
hymnals are introduced, however, there will be
. much wider choice, though 1t is though,
doubtful if any better oan be selected, either In
words or music, any more than a change from
the wedding marches Of Mendelssohn or Lo-
hengrin.
1t begins to look as il we would not have the
pleasure OF seeing either the princess and suite
or the Duke Of Veragua in this city again, for the
ostensible purpose OF saying goodbye TO Presi-

just as good . time as they had before,
even if it was little quieter. But
rs these blessings are not to be ours,
we will have TO get all the consolation possible
out Of the coming of the eastern psinces and
potsntates, who will arrive before long. They
will not find tho capital entirely deserted. no

plenty Of good people, official and otherwise, to

The list Of foreign ambassadors when So

cles have great value and fili four large rooms
on the top floor Of the Stanford mansion In
San Francisco. The cases and their precious
contents will be taken down to the university
without disturbing them in any way, as Mrs.
| Stanford desires that they shall be exhibited
| precisely as her son arranged them himself.
| From the first moment that the building Of the
university as memorial to their only child
became o fixed project in the minds Of the
Senator and his wife it has been her wish that
she might have the health and strength to
place this collection in Its permanent home
with her own hands, a pleasure which she ia
now enjoying, although it robs her San Fran
cisco home Of one Of its greatest charms.
The magnificent gifts that have been made
to the Senator and his wife as well the sim
plest will be all kept in the museum and will
make most interesting collection. Their pres
ents to their son and his gifts to them have Q
value which IN their hearts far surpasses the
WOnuoIiul COheCuOu Ol MCb. Quail Jewels,
which one day will delight those who
will visit the jewel room Of the museum.
Senator Stanford's health has been excellent
since ne returned home. and the decided inn
provement that began here has continued. Be-
tween the university for serious work and the
horses at the Palo Alto farm for q diversion. his
time is occupied with the two things he likes
best Of any that could be given him.
