PRINUESs MAUD'S WEDDING.
Grief over the Limited number of
Invitations.

LONDON, June 13.-After much
tribulation and many conferences
of the Queen, Prince of Wales
and great officers Of state, it has
finally been decided that only Is
invitations can be issued for the
marriage of Princess Maud of
Wales at the end of this month in
the chapel of Buckingham palace.
AS these must include Embassa.
doris and their wives, it is APP
palling to think how many high
and mighty folks must be left out
in the cold. Compensation for a
good many Of these may be found
by giving them standing room in
the corridors of the palace, whence
they may view the wedding pro-
cession, but even then there will
be left a residue of rank and
fashion of the very first water, as
the time for intrigue is past.
The guests have been hidden
and only death or complete dis
ablement will cause any vacancies
now. Upon the occasion of this
wedding the Queen will make one
of her very infreqient visits to
London, and more remarkable
still she will be three days in her
residence at Buckingham palace,
solely for the good of languishing
trade, so it is said, for she still
wears deep mourning for her late
son-in law and cares less than
ever for court ceremonies and the
loyal shouts Of metropolitan
crowds.
