DEAN IS AUTOCRAT
. OF WESTMINSTER
Abbey ls Misnomer f6r Church
Where Princess Mary Will
Be Bride Of Vlscount
ONCE WAS HOME OF MONKS

London, Feb. 25.-In view Of the
approaching wedding Of Princess Mary,
there is added interest In Westminster
Abbey, about which there Is always an
element Of mystery. Nor is this won
derful, for this historic church Is vir-
tually unique. says the Daily Mail.
In tho first place. II is not an abbey
at all. strange to say. The monastic
period In its story, together with its
abbots. came to an end with the year
1540.
The proper official title Of the Abbey,
that by which It Is described In all legal
81. Peter in Westminster. a.' 0"oren Oh
A collegiate church means a body OF
clergy and various lay officers who
though they do not, like monks, occupy
common refectory, .dormitory, and 30
forth, vet are united by a certain com :
mon rule in that they are specially
chosen to devote their lives and cner
gics to the welfare Of some great non :
parochial church.
But though the black robcd Benedic-
tine monks disappeared long genera :
tions ago from the Abbey and were
replaced under the Tudors by the COL
legiate body of deans. canons. and no
forth. vet many interesting old medi-
eval customs have persisted right here
down to the present day.
The Abbey forms an island all by It,
self. 1t is outside any diocese. The
Dor in an ecclesiastical sense. has no
jurisdiction Of any sort, either within
the church or the adjoining precincts.
He can put on his robes inside tho
Abbey only by permission Of the Dean,
who Is absolutely supreme. Thus in
Westminster Abbey you have an up-to-
date and highly effective example Of a
benevolent autocrocS!
It Is the same thing with the Arch =
bishop Of Canterbury. Save at a coro-
nation. he can officiate only by the con :
sent OF the Dean.
There was a time. not very far dis.
tant, when 1t was customary to read n
solemn protest In the Jerusalem Cham
ber prior to any ecclesiastical function
at which the Primate Of All England
was taking part.
Dean Stanley was most punctilious
about the due reading of this protest,
to which the Archbishop would reply in
suitable language, stating that his pres
ence must not be taken to imply In the
slightest any desire to override the
peculiar privileges Of the Collegiate
Church of st. Peter in Westminster.
This protest is rarely heard nova
days. but it Is customary for the Dean
of Westminster in some way or other
to give some token of his own special
position at any function at which the
Archbishop or other priests may be TAX
ing part.
The royal wedding is an exceptional
ceremony altogether; indeed there is
virtually no precedent for it SO far az
the Abbey is concerned. 1t Is an under
stood thing that members Of the royal
family are "I'arochial Archiepiscopall
Cantuariensis' hence it is only fitting
for the Archbishop to tie the knot on
It may be taken for granted that the
Dean Of Westminster will assert his
position in all due form and order by
pronouncing one Of the benedictions.

THIRD DAY OF JEWISH
DRIVE BRINGS SOS, 900
Leaders of Charity Campaign
Not Satisfied With Results.

Returns received by the Federation of
Jewish Philanthropies in their drive for
S1,000.000 amounted to $65,636 yester-
day. This is less than the second days
total which, in turn, was smaller than
that brought in at the end of the first
cay. The total for the three days stands
at $25S,256. The leaders of the cam
paign were not satisfied and criticized
the apparent unwillingness Of their COM
pittees to get out and work.
One gratifying thing the committee
found was the increased attendance at
the exhibition of the ninety-one institu-
tons which are affiliated with the Fed
Grafton. This exhibition at the Hotel
Pennsylvania closes tonight. The drive.
however, will run until the million is
obtained.
The exhibition of Mrs. Enrico Caruso's
linens. which are being embroidered by

linens will remain on show to-day. The

noon and one with professionals in the

ported yesterday was Walter II. Frew,

MEMORIAL ART WORKS

by Gifts From Friends.

Extensive improvements in the beau
tiful Gothic interior of Grace Church,
