Fair-Eanderb;i

The Sacramento Bee thus sizes up
the Fair-Vanderbilt wedding:
That must have been > very pecu-
liar wedding the other day about which
all Of the papers have been so full
that of little Willie Vanderbilt, scarcely
yet out Of the Kindergarten, to Miss
Theresa Fair, otherwise known as
birdie, " who has about nine or ten
more Summers and Winters on her
head than has her husband.
Little Willie surely was perfectly
justified in marrying this Birdie or any
other Birdie, but the manner in which
the press Of all cities have treated it
as though it we're a welding particular
ly sanctioned by high Heaven and az
though the contracting parties were
little less than members Of the Cheru-
bin or SeraphiIn-is something verv
sickening indeed to sound American
stOmachs. Miss Stride Fairls undoubt-
edly a good womao: let us hope that
little Willie is as good q young man.
At the same time there is not a street
in any American city that is not paved
thick with a great deal better zee and
4 great deal better women.
The great difference is that the aver
age American woman is not rolling in
money which her father obtained by
fraudulent processes, nor is the aver
age young man a descendant Of an old
hudson River pirate, who was known
a. Cornelius when he ran an oyster
boat, and TO whom all New York grow
eied on their stomachs when he became
rich and was called Commodore Van
derbilt.
One peculiarly OF life among the 400
was shown at this wedding. William
~ Vanderbilt, ST., the father OF the
brIdegrO0m. VINO some time ago 0b-
tanned a divorce from his wife on Ger
tain we.l-prOved grounds, escorted the
sister Of the bride to one of the dining
tables. To the head Of the other din
ing table, the husband of the brides
sister escorted the divorced wife OF the
bridegroom's father, And over it all
probably hung the benediction of the
dead and unlamented James G. Fair.
