Neither confirmation nor denial of the
report that he intends to resign his po-

obtained from Associate Justice George
Shiras, of the United States Supreme
Court.
Justice Shiras is credited with n desire
to retire from the bench at that time.

decade as member of the highest court
in the land.
Reached Age of Retirement.
Justice Shiras reached the age Of sew
enty years on January &c last. The law
provides that justice who has attained
the age of seventy years. or who has
served for ten years. may retire il he so
desires. Mrs. Shiras. it is said, desires
him to retain the position. inasmuch as
she is very fond of Washington life.
There is considerable speculation as to
whom the President would turn to fill
Justice Shiras' position should he retire
II is regarded as a Certainty that the
man appointed would be from Pennsyl-
vania. Delaware, or New Jersey. the
States which comprise the Third Judicial

The important part which different
viands play in marriage ceremonies
makes rather an interesting story.
For example, the Swedish bride fills
her pocket with bread, which she dis
penses to every one she meets on her
way to church, every piece she gives
away averting, as she believes, a mis-
fortune.
On the threshold of her new home a
bride in Servia is presented with
plate of bonbons, one of which she and
the bridegroom share between them,
the divided bonbon signifying that no
bitterness shall divide them. A sieve
of wheat corn is also given to the bride.
OF this she takes three handfuls,
throws it over her head, emptying the
sieve upon the ground. The scattered
corn denotes that the bride brings joy
and prosperity into her new home. The
bride is still outside the door, nor can
she enter until she has placed two
lOaves of bread beneath her arms and
taken bottle of wine into her hands.
With these emblems she at length
crosses the threshold of her future
Nome. At the first meal of the newly
Darried pair bread and wine must he
tahen by both to denote that thence
forward all they have shall be equally
divided between them and that their
Married life shall be passed in unity

Funeral Services Conducted Sunday

Funeral services over the remains
of the late Meyer Eppinger were con-
Quoted at the residence yesterday aft
ternoon, by the Masonic fraternity,
the Order of the Eastern Star and the
knights Of Pythias Joining with the
funeral ceremonies. The house was
crowded with members of these orders
and friends of the deceased and fam
lily. The services were held in the
parlor Of the residence, the casket be-
ing placed in the center and those at
tending grouping themselves about
the casket, which was covered with
floral offerings from the several socie-
ties and friends of the deceased.
There was a broken column from the
Masonic fraternity, a Star from the
20. 3. S., and the Knights OF Pythias
sent a handsome token of remem-
brance. Aside from these were many
cut flowers and offerings from indi-
viduals. Evidences of sincere grief
and sorrow were present everywhere
about the room. A choir consisting
of Misses Jones and %Jonassen, Messrs.
Best and Healy, furnished sweet vocal
selections, particularly sweet being
the opening song, "Sweet Peace, the
Gift of Gods Love-" and the closing,
Nearer My God to Thee.,' After the
opening selection the Masonic ritual
services were conducted by Worship
full Master H. L. Reade. These were
followed by the simply solemn cere-
monies of the Eastern Star, each mem
Der depositing a flower on the coffin of
the deceased. Chancellor Commander
Bostrom and the brethren of the de-
ceased in the knights of Pythias, then
conducted their ritual services over
the coffin. An opportunity was then
given for friends of the deceased to
view the remains, after which they
were accompanied to thesdepot whence
they were taken on the night train to
ST. Paul to be inferred today. The
Masonic fraternity and the knights Of
Pythias escorted the remains to the
depot. Two representatives from each
lodge accompanied the remains to st.
Paul, to assist the widow and relatives
OF the deceased at the final interment.
The pail bearers were E. H. Wilson, E.

Hare, ]. "a. Field and E. A.. Williams.
Thus has another old timer and cit
izen of Bismarck passed to his reward
with the slight honors that it is O
sible for his fellow citizens and
friends to bestow. The deceased man
was a valuable citizen Of the commun-
ify, which can i'll afford his loss, and
fEhe will be missed in social and bust
ness circles in time to come. That
the Comforter of the widow and the
fatherless may be with the bereaved
relatives in the dark days is the uni
versal prayer.
