BIGGEST WEDDING EVER KNOWN,

on the day that Alexander tho Great

sons In one ceremony were made hus-
bands and wives. This seems impossi-
bile. but the event really took place. rs

wedding occurred upon the conquest by
Alexander the Great Of Persia. which
was then ruled over by King Darius
Alexander married stntlra, the daughter
u the conquered king. and dccrecd that
100 Of his chief officers should be united
TO 100 ladies from tho nobicat Persian
and Modean families. In addition TO
this. he stipulated that 10000 OF his
Greek soldiers should marry 10000 Ash
attic women. when everything was set
tied. a vast pavilion was erected. the
pillars Of which were 60 feet high. one
hundred gorgeous chambers adIolned
this for the 100 noble bridegrooma. while
for the remaining 10000 an outer court
was incloscd. outside OF which tables
were spread for tho multitude. Each
pair had seats and ranged themselves
In Hemiclrole round the royal throne.
OF course the priests could not marry
this vast number Of couples, no Aloxnn.

than the way in which the two teams
made their fight, and that the absence of
