Degree staffs of sixty members are
seldom seen. Sebaska lodge, of Taun-

We note the decease of one of our
exchanges, the Odd Fellows Advocate
OF West Virginia. Lack of patronage
and dearth of discernment on the
part Of the editor was the cause of the
collapse.

has 399 members and is named Colfax.

ANTIQUE MARRIAGE CUSTOMS.

Marriage celebrations and marriage
customs followed in the New World
many of the customs of the Old World.
Sack posset, the drink of Shakespeare S
| time, a rich, thick concootion of boiled
ale, eggs and spices, was drunk at
New England weddings, as we learn
from the pages of Judge Sewall' S
diary; but it did not furnish a very
gay wassail, TOR the Puritan posset-
drinking was preceded and followed by
the singing of a. psalm-and such a
psalmi q. tedious, drawing perform
ance.
The bride and groom and bridal
party walked in a little procession to
the meeting house on the Sabbath fol-
lowing the marriage, says a writer in
American Folk Lore. We read in the
Sewall diary of a Sewall bride thus
coming out or 'walking-out BRIDE"
as it was called in Newburyport Cot
ton Mather thought it eXpedient to
thus make public with due dignity the
marriage. In some communities the
attention of the interested public was
further drawn to the newly married
couple in what seems to us a very
comic fashion. On the Sabbath follow
ing the wedding, the gaily dressed
bride and groom occupied a prominent
seat in the gallery of the meeting
house, and in the middle Of the sermon
they rose and slowly turned around to
display complacently on every side
their wedding finery.
In Larned's History of Windham
county, Conn, we read description
of such a scene in Brooklyn, Conn.
Further attention was paid to the
bride by allowing her to choose the
text for the sermon preached ON the
first Sunday of the coming out Of the
newly married couple. Much ingenuity
was exercised in finding appropriate
and unusual Bible texts for these we'd
ding sermons. The instances are well
known of the marriage of Person
Smiths two daughters, one of whom
selected the text Mary hath chosen
that good part while the daugher
Abby, who married John Adams, de-
cided upon the text, John came neith-
er eating bread nor drinking wine, and
We say he hath a devil" This latter
ingenious and curious choice has
given rise to an incorrect notion that
the marriage of Abigail Smith with
John Adams was distasteful to her
father and her family

KNIGHTS of Pythins.

The most important event of this or
der in this jurisdiction during the past
week was the dedication of the new
Pythian castle hall, which occurred
on Tuesday evening. The occasion
was most suspicious one, and as a
full report of the proceedings has al
ready been given in these columns it
is unnecessary to repeat it.
Monitor lodge No. II was the first
to hold its regular meeting in the new
hall. and to properly celebrate the
event gave a reception to their friends,
which was largely attended and greatly
enjoyed. Those on the reception COM
mittee were A. T. Harrington, e. c.
O'Donnell, H. II. Peterson, John G.
Robinson, James Austin, U. E. Stewart
c. c. n. y. Spencer acted as master of
ceremonies.

Thursday evening and decided to give
a reception on Thursday evening. May

The order is about to sustain a tenn
porary loss in the departure for New
Mexico of Captain w. w. Hall, who
leaves today. Captain Hall has been
a prominent worker in, all branches of
the order in this city for many years
He may truly be said to be the father
of the uniform rank, of which he has
been captain for years, and in which
he took a great interest, and had a
pardonable pride in the wonderful de-
gree of efficiency to which it attained
under his leadership. He was al all
times genial, hospitable and kind, a
friend to the friendless, a true Pyth-
ian, a man and brother. He will be
greatly missed in the order and also by
many friends outside of it, who all
heartily wish he may find the health
he is going to the sunny south to seek
and may return in as short a time as
may be to the city where is so well
known and loved. Au revoir, captain,
not goodbye.

AN s. p. REDUCTION.
Is on Iron Articles from Pueblo to
Frisco.


SAN FRANCISCO, May 3.-Today cir
cular has been issued signed by the South
ern Pacific and connecting lines to Pueblo
Colo, reducing the rates on iron articles
from Pueblo to San Francisco % per cent
in pursuance of an order of the inter-
state commerce commission to the effect
that rates from Pueblo must not exceed
70 per cent. of the rates from the Mis-
souri, river. The order was the outcome
of the case brought some time ago by the
Colorado Fuel & Iron company against
the Colorado lines and connections. in
Guiding the Southern Pacific, before the
commission, and decided in favor of the
shippers. Heretofore the rates from Pu
eblo to San Francisco have been the same
as from the Missouri river, although there
was difference of about 500 miles in the
haul.
The Southern Pacific and it's allies, how
ever, propose to fight the case in the
courts, for they have appended to their
circular the following notice: These
rates are published pursuant to an order
of the interstate commerce commission.
They are not regarded as affording the
carriers a reasonable compensation for
the service performed, and are accepted
under protest.
