If one may believe some of the pic
turesque writers in the New York press.
the wedding business in the metropolis
is becoming q serious rival of the comic
opera business 1t is declared by one
writer that whenever wedding occurs
at a fashionable church il takes az
many policemen to keep the crowd back
as are usually employed at ward mass
meeting. The ravening avidity with
which the average man and woman
rush to stare at a bride and bridegroom,
requires the regulation of the severest
police discipline and in some cases
threatens to call out the military. Cards
of admission are coming to be used at
swell church weddings, but it is i'm
possible to keep the mob away from a
private house when it is suspected that
somebody is going to be married there
On a recent occasion of "a somewhat
overadvertised bridal affair in private
house old women and maidens began to
gather on the adjacent steps and points
Of vantage hours before the ceremony
began, and they staid there all day
and stared at the windows OF the build

Stay at Home Americana.

A note of alarm has been sounded by
A. A. Lyman of Baltimore respect
to Americans who abandon their own
country to spend their money abroad.
He suggests a movement in favor of
stay at home Americans. He thinks
that the tendency is to use America to
make money in and Europe to spend it
in and cites several cases of wealthy
Americans who have abandoned the
United States to live in European capi-
tails, thus depriving the country that
nourished them of all returns in patriot
ism and patronage. But is not this dan
ger considerably overdrawn? By far the
greater number of well to do Americans
who go abroad retain a sincere prefer
ence for their own land and people and
return to them gladly. He is not val
uable American who prefers Paris to
New York. and it is fair question if
America would not be better off if
those who prefer Paris went there to
reside To see the whole of the world
is now almost a common privilege of
Americans, and the exercise of it does
them no harm. 1t rubs off prOvincialism
and bounce, opens view into the
memorial past and enlarges the sense of
the blessings of freedom. To organize
a club and have the members take an
oath never to go outside of their native
! heath would be about as childish as the
oaths of fidelity and everlasting com
radeship that schoolboys make As a
general rule it may be laid down that
the more a Yankee sees of the world the
better he likes his own country, and
the number of Yankees who prefer to
live elsewhere than in their own coun-
try compares with the number of for
eigners who prefer to live here as a
summer shower compares with. the gulf
stream. There are it is true, certain
society imperiali5ts who are never happy
unless they are prancing in the train Of
some foreign notable, but they are not
Americans.

The celebrity with which the Ameri-
can contractors built and shipped the
iron bridge to be used over the Atbara
river in Egypt has created no little
astonishment in England 1t was made
and sent in just one-fourth of the time
demanded by the other English bidders
and there is. Of course. a great deal of
grumbling because the American firm
got the contract. But this is only one
of many instances in which the Ameri-
cans have outstripped all competitors
in the speed with which they fill a
contract 1t is only fair to say that if
the work had been done in England it
would have been done mere deliberate
ly. But the real question is. Would the
work have answered its purpose any
better? As timely offset to this very
remarkable feat Of construction comes
the story from St. Petersburg and Paris
that the work of laying the Transsibe-
rian railway in Russia has been pushed
with such speed THAT much of il Will
have to be done over again. According
to the report of an imperial commission,
the roadbed and the rails are too light
for the American locomotives that are
to run on them.
