 The recent misfortune in the family of the honorable John Hay. secretary of state, renders the duties of office burdensome to the secretary, and only the circumstances surrounding the succession of MT. Roosevelt to the presidency influence him in retaining his portfolio. Society, is naturally i'm terested in the result of his probable resignation, since the family of the sec retary of state set the pace in matters diplomatic. and it is hoped that the successors of the Hays will possess their admirable tact and faculty of dis crimination.

 usual interest. There will be six hun

 The members of the wedding party and the brother officers of the groom among the guests will wear full uni form. so that the flash of sabres. gold epaulettes and rich plumes. mingled with the gorgeous toilettes of the ladies, will make an occasion not often equalled for brilliancy. even in Wash ington.
 Adjutant General Corbin has the rank of senior major general of the United States army. which places him next Lieutenant General Miles. whose only superior officer is the president as commander-in-ch chief of the army and navy. General Corbin has the distinc- ton of being an intimate friend of presidents for many years, beginning with General Garfield's administration. when he escorted Mrs. Garfield to the inaugural ball. He was the officer de- tailed to attend Mrs. Mckinley at the capitol on the day of the last inaugura- tion of President Mckinley. Her hus- band accompanied her at the inaugural ball, but while the duties of the in- augural ceremonies demanded the re- linquishment of that post which it was always MT. McKinley's delight to fill. she was entrusted to the faithful Corbin.
 The disappointment will be keenly felt. amidst the approaching festivities. that MT. Mckinley will not be present at the marriage of his old friend.
 General Corbin has three children: married daughter in New York, an invalid daughter in Dayton, Ohio, for whom he has just purchased a home. and a son now with the Philippine com mission on the islands, who won some what unenviable distinction when with the peace commission, in Paris. Unfor- tunately he will not achieve the honors of his father. General Corbin was an Mrs. George Dewey, and before her to the admiral, their names were frequently mentioned together ,
 It is safe to say, since the death of President Mckinley. that General Cor bin will not attend the coronation Of King Edward in 1902. ii
 Miss Patten is about thirty years old and is the fourth daughter of this fam fly of millionaire miners. She was edu- cated in Paris and will return from that city today on the St. Paul. with her three unmarried sisters. the Misses Mary, Josephine and Nellie Patten, having selected trousseau embodying the most exquisite of Parisian modes.
 Unfortunately the only previous mar riage in this family was an unhappy one. Miss Augusta Patten, the second married Congressman John M. Glover of Missouri, from who she has since obtained a divorce. Only the question of religion prevents her from accepting the name of Senator Clark | of Montana, whose attentions are very marked. Mrs. Glover is not upon good l terms with her sisters who have a suit | pending against her for s100OOO. which 1 amount was given her by her mother at l the time of her marriage.
