JApAN,s ROYAL MARRIAGE.
The Scion of 100 Kings Weds . Charm-
ing Bride.

Yokohama correspondence London Mail.
The marriage of the crown prince OF ia
pan, Prince Yoshihito, to Princess Sada-ko
a niece Of the late empress dowager. took
place today.
To the young japanese nation. reveling in
hopes and ambitions that suffer no blight
from a consciousness of age or national
ennui the marriage Of their crown prince
is an event of the most suspicious charac-
ter The event gains in Importance from
the fact that Prince Yoshihito Is the one
hundred and sixty-second In the imperial
line. the hope of a dynasty which has ruled
Japan for nearly 1000 years. He Is twenty
years old, is short in stature like all his
future subjects, and, though he has never
visited Europe. he has received good
western education.
His BRIDE Princess Sada-ko, has the
bluest blood Of Japan in her veins. and can
boast of lineage extending back many CEN
turtles, for she is the daughter of Prince
Kujo. In herself she is a charming little
lady of seventeen. with a bright and clear
mind. rendered still brighter and clearer by
a good education on European lines.
The prince left his palace at Aoyama,
Toxic, at 1870. and proceeded to the impe
rial palace in the center of the city. where
he met his bride. Many japanese now
marry under western rules. but in this case
the marriage. which was of a private char.
acter took place at the imperial shrine ac-
cording to the Shinto rites, the rites of old
japan.
At the conclusion of the ceremony the
imperial couple received the congratula-
lions of the great officers of state. and
little later. accompanied by a brilliant es-
cort they proceeded to the palace at
Aoyama, amid the acclamations of an i'm
mense multitude that filled the streets.
The windows were everywhere deserted,
for no japanese may look down on the per-
son of any member of the royal family
under severe penalties.
In their first appearance on the way to
the shrine bride and bridegroom were both
dressed in antique Japanese costume, the
brides dress being heavily embroidered
with gold. but now in this procession. when
they rode in an open carriage through the
city, both wore European costumes.
The brides wedding trousseau is said to
have cost $4,000.
In honor Of the occasion many politicians
have been raised to the peerage.

Mr.. Hoffman can bring under his baton a
greater number of strings and a wider va
riety of woodwinds. Even these may be
hoped for in time
The chief interest of the evening centered
in the choral works, selections from Gou-
mods "Galia'' and set of well-chosen
light operate choruses Mr.. Hoffman set
high standard in attempting the former,
and it is not to his discredit that of the
chorus that all the beauties of the work
were not completely developed. The open
ing attack was excellent. and the closing
chorus, Jerusalem, Oh Turn Thee!" was
highly impressive. showing the full volume
of tone better than any other part of the
work 1t is questionable whether the cho-
rus Is quite ready for music involving the
technical difficulties of this. There is a
large body of fine music simple in structure
and lofty In character which will show the
many excellencies of the work of the cho-
rus to much finer effect. The operate num-
bers. rendered very successfully. indicated
this.
Taken altogether. the concert Is a most
gratifying evidence of Mr.. Hoffman's hon
orable ambition and of the valuable musical
talent of our colored citizens
There was large audience. with con-
siderable sprink,ing of white faces, and two
boxes were occupied by delegation of the
board of managers of the Choral Society,
who desired in this way to show their inter-
est in this branch of the development of
music in Washington.

their fire upon the enemy. These 1aen lie
securely sheltered. their ready rifles at
shoulder and pointed. their watchful eyes
scanning the positions of the defenders
The signal Is given, and the rush begins.
Up spring fifty or hundred men, with
rifles held loosely at a trail" and dash
forward at full speed. leaping over the
ground like Zulu runners. A few scatter
ing shots give warning of the hotter Are
to come. Prone on the earth go the charg-
ing Beers. Cr-r-r-ash, comes the Volley
Up again, and wild scurry on for l.1i. a
minute before the second volley can come;
then down again, each man under cover.
Fifty yards have been gained To a
body of men spring up suddenly and dash
toward them is calculated to furry any
troops. The Beers have counted upon this.
and for it the reserved marksmen are pre-
pared. Startled for a moment out Of Ills
presence of mind or in his eagerness to get
a fair shot, Tommy Atkins will expose him
self. A head, a shoulder. an arm or leg
shows. 1t is a sufficient mark for Boer.
The Mausers yelp in stammerlng chorus,
and score of gentlemen in khaki grope
bindly about in the dirt and gravel.
A charge, such as the Beers make, is
robbed of all story-book picturesqueness
and glamour. The glitter Of sword and
bayonet. the smoke and flame, the bright
uniforms, the inspiring cheers. the pre-
cision of serried ranks. the calamity car
ried battle flags to be presently planted on
the earthworks of the enemy. are all lack
ing. They belong to the war of the past.
In their stead a crouching. creeping line of
dirt-covered men. shuffled by the varying
chances of the fight out of all semblance
of order brown. bare, sun-scorched. bowl
der-f1ecked ridges dotted here and there
with stunted bushes, hazy with heat. and
alive with projectiles: the keen rattle of
rifle fire, punctuated by the suffering Of
machine guns. and broken into full periods
by the reverbrating roar of heavy artil-
lery, now and again seeming to die only
to break out afresh: and all this for hour
after hour, each passing moment claiming
victim to sprawl in agony on the super
heated rocks. Such is modern war. as
typified in South Africa today.
