the sOftest of gray hair, and her face is
mothorly and kind, and she's 30 gentle

ley ASSOCIATED rREss.l

CAPE MAY, N. j.. July 31.-The reported
resignation from the cabinet OF Secretary
Noble was absolutely and emphatically denied
this morning by Private Secretary Halford on
behalf OF the President Secretary Halford
said:
"There is not q word Of truth in It. secre-
tary Noble has not resigned from the Cabinet.
and as far as the President knows, has no In
tention OF doing So"
WASHINGTON, July 31.-The report that
Secretary Noble, OF the Interior Department,
had rendered his resignation having been
again revived, Acting Secretary Chandler, Of
the Interior Department, was this morning
asked for information on the subject.
He said In very positive manner that the
report was untrue, and declared his belief
that It was simply a revival Of previous
rumOrs which had been denied by the Secre-
tary himself Secretary Noble is spending a
vacation near Richneld Springs
ESPECIAL TO THE EVENING woRLD.l
WASHINGTON, July 31.-This mornings an
nouncement OF the resignation OF Secretary
Noble, OF the Interior Department, created
little excitement or surprise, as II is a matter
OF old report. Naturally, however, 1t has oc-
casioned renewal OF gossip as TO the future
career OF the Cabinet oi1icer, who is said ia
be about to retire.
Rumor insisted that he was to go either to
the bench in the new Circuit Court or to I'LL O
foreign mission.
But close upon such reports as this came
another to the effect that 1t was Wana-
makers resignation which the President had
in band, the Administration having been con.
vinced at last that the good man IRON Phila.
delphia had become an incubus which 1t was
not wise to attempt to carry.
There seemed to be no one In Washington
TO confirm the revivitied report OF Mr.. Mobiles
resignation. At the Interior Department
Acting Secretary Chandler denied in very
positive terms that there was any truth II
the report.
AS to the Wanamaker rumor, 1t is given Out
on what is said to be the Postmaster Gen
erals own authority that that Official has moi
come to the point OF Withdrawing from the
Cabinet.
For day or two there has been a story
about town that the President was holding
the resignation OF a Cabinet officer undel
consideration, pending his choice of a sue
cessor to the retiring Secretary.
Friends OF Mr. Wanamaker assert that to
days rumor OF his coming withdrawal wa!
