The funeral service OF the late Mrs.
Stephens took place on Tuesday after
noon last at tho First Presbyterian
church, Rev. Davenport officiating aud
Rev. Mayo participating. The brief
funeral address was based upon the
words, ''Iu my fathers house are many

heart cries out Tor permAnenoy. aud he
then proceeded tO dwell upon the tran

conception, our expectation and our hope
OF heaven. We know in the later years

HONOR C0MMAND DER
Ladies of the Maccabees Give a
Reception to Lillian HoIJister
Many Are Initiated.

The Ladies of the Maccabees and a
great many of their knights assembled
at the lodge rooms in l. o. o. F. hall
last night and did honor to their su-
preme commander, Lillian Hollister,
who represents an organization of
about 100000 women in the United
states. and who was in the city yes
terday to superintend the initiation of
sixty-four candidates for membership
in the local hives.
The hall was filed TO its capacity last
evening at the commencement of the
programme. 1t included musical Sc
lections, Rotations and readings. At
the end of the regular programme Mrs
HOLSTER in a very eloquent speech
presented a banner to hive No il for
having the largest membership in the
state. She supplemented the presenta-
ton with few remarks on the growth
of the l.. Q. T. NJ. in the nation and
eomplimented the Salt Lake hives on
their fourishing condition.
The main object of the gathering last
night, while it was apparently a social
affair, was to stimulate interest in the
hives of the state, and Mrs. HOLSTERS
address certainly accomplished a great
deal in that direction. The reception
TO her was attended by ladies from
Provo, Eureka, American Fork and
other cities. as well as by the knights
of Salt Lake lodges Nos. = and IL.
During the afternoon. when the big
initiation took place, the ladies served
a delightful luncheon. Mrs. HOLSTER
came here from Portland, where she
initiated about 200 candidates

The Herald correspondent was a little
premature in saying that Walter Ander-
ton had pleaded guilty and was fined so
in the Justices court for disturbing the
peace of young lady a few evening"
ago. His companion, George Page,
pleaded guilty, but Anderton resisted the
case and was given a jury trial yesterday.
Last night, after being out three hours,
the jury brought in a verdict of guilty.
The trial was very interesting affair,
especially so as to the complaining wit
ness. who seemingly tried TO make out
defense for the young man instead OF
assisting the prosecution, as she did at
the former trial.
