Commissioner ROdenberg. is said to
possess many of the characteristics of
his distinguished father. He began in

been much benefited by her stay in
Florida and is recovering completely
from the trouble from which she has
suffered for several years. The admiral
and his wife have left Palm Beach for

Observant people who happened TO
be passing along Pennsylvania avenue
last Monday beheld "A sight that pro-
voked not little amusement. Captain
Lemiy, who was prominent at the
schley court of inquiry, was walking
with brisk step. while not more than
twenty feet in his rear came Admiral
Schley. going in the same direction.
and evidently in something of a hurry.
The funny part about the matter was
that neither seemed to be aware Of the
proximity OF the other, and the way
they were walking was such as to make
one think that Schley was trying to
oVertake Captain Lemly and that the
latter was seeking to escape him.
Wood to Succeed Miles.
General Leonard Wood, military gov
ernor of Cuba. has been a guest of
president and Mrs. Roosevelt at the
White House, and his stay has been
the occasion OF many civilities which
have been extended to him. It is said
that President Roosevelt has selected
General Wood to succeed General Mel
son A Miles as commandments of
the United States army, when the pres
enJ incumbent either voluntarily or in
voluntarily resigns.
Musicaies have been the favorite en-
tertainment and diversion in society
this season. Mrs. Roosevelt has Civ
en- number, with professionals to en-
terrain her guests, and some of the
local talent as well. Her next one will
be the most brilliant in point of at
traction, Paderewski being the artist
selected TO entertain the fortunate
guests. The ROOseveIts are all fond of
music. and one thing which has been
remarked upon considerably is that the
president and his wife are most cour-
teOus and attentive to all the must
clans they engage. The artists are in
variably asked to come early and the
first lady of the land, herself, takes
them to the east room to see if the ar
engagements suit. if the piano is set
right, if their chairs are correct, and
the windows properly adjusted. In
fact when musicians perform in the
White House, they are invited to have
things fixed as they want them. All
agree that it is a great pleasure TO
entertain Mrs. Roosevelts guests.

chosen to represent the United States
army at the coronation. She viii ac-
company him on his diplomatic errand,
and share with him its hOnOrs. Since
the death of her mother in Cuba two
years ago, she has presided over a
typical army home. Having been
reared amid the most patriotic sur
roundings, Miss iWilson has imbibed
the spirit and will apply it in prac-
teal way. All her gowns will be made
