| LONDON. Feb. 25.--A spectacle OF
royal splendor and brilliant color
will be presented within the usually
somber interior of Westminster abby
when the wedding OF Princess Mary
and Viscount Lascelles takes place
there on Tuesday next. February 2S.
That Westminster abbey is not AN
abbey at all and other curious facts
concerning this historic cdifice are
recalled to public attention by tho
forthcoming marriage in that cele-
brated Anglo Saxon temple.
Westminster's abbots and other
monastic appurtenances ended in the
year l540, Its proper designation, by
which II Is described in legal docu-
ments, is the Collegiate Church of
of clergy and various lay officers
A collegiate church means body
OF clergy and various lay officers
who are united by n certain rule in
that they are specially chosen to de-
vote their lives and energies to the
welfare OF some great -parochlal
church.
| Nevertheless, many interesting
medieval customs persist to the pres
ent day about the historic edifice.
The abbey forms an isolated estab-
lishment, that is, 1t is outside any
diocese.
The bishop OF London. its nearest
neighbor IN an ecclesiastical sense,
has no Jurisdiction OF any sort either
within the church or the adjoining
precincts. He can put on Ms robes
inside the abbey only by permission
OF the dean. who Is absolutely SUI
| preme. The same rule applies to the
archbishop OF Canterbury. Save at
n coronation, he can officiate only
| by the consent of the dean.
There was "A time, not very far dis
tant, when 1t was customary to read
solemn protest In the Jerusalem
chamber prior to any ecclesiastical

England was taking part.

ply in suitable language, stating that

This protest Is rarely heard nova
days, but II Is customary for the dean
OF Westminster In some way 10 give
some token OF his own special posi-
| tion at any function at which the
archbishop or other prelate may be
taking part.
The royal wedding is an excep-
tlonal ceremonoy altogether; indeed
there Is practically no precedent for
II so far as the abbey IL concerned.
It Is an understood thing that II Is

Turks reported had died suddenly of
typhus. He declares that his own
investigation. supported by affidavits

brother was executed by shooting.
