hands, shook hands with the bride,
and then held his hand out to the
groom. He had his hand deep in his

could be heard all over the church:

"Let me know if you find anything

The Vacant United States Judgeship Is
Still Matter of Guessing.

Two weeks ago the statement was
made from Washington that ex-Judge
and Thomas Settle are to be
we'll provided for by this administra-
ton. AS has already been stated ex-
Judge Adams is slated for appoint
ment as Commissioner of Internal
Revenue. Thomas Settle is to be made |
district attorney of the Western dis
trict. Mr.. Holton who has held the
post during three administrations, has
eighteen months more to serve. Mr..
Settle is likely to become impatient
prior to that time, and an effort may
be made to bring about his appoint
ment at an earlier date. 1t had been
expected that Thomas S. Rollins would
be favored for the district attorney
ship, but Settles friends have the ear
of the President, and the program is
to give the plum to the former con-
gresham. Mr.. Settle could have Sc
cured an appointment in Washington,
but he has said that he does not want
to live in Washington and does not
desire to go abroad. Two years ago
it was framed up for Mr.. Holton to
retire, but he outgeneralled his oppo-
nents, and won out over their pro-
tests.
