Her Nineteenth eirthday-Five
Young Bachelors Who Are FIRE.
quent Callers at the White House
Portuguese Minister Also.

Washington. d. c., Feb. 17.-Tues
day was Miss Alice Roosevelt's birth
day. The foremost young woman in
Washington society is 10 years old
and already notes and kilograms of a
lcongratluatory nature are beginning to
pour into the White house. as well as
presents from her most intimate
friends.
The arrival of Miss Roosevelt at an.
other milestone in her life has opened
speculation as to who will be the lucky
young man to win the presidents
daughter for his bride. Ever since the
coming out" reception of Miss Roose,
welt this has been a ~puzzling question.
Miss Roosevelt herself has shown no
strong regard for any particular young
man with whom her name has been
coupled.
There are five young bachelors
among her acquaintances who are the
most frequent callers at the White
house, each of whom has at one time
or another been mentioned as the
lucky aspirant to her favor.
All so far have been received by
Miss Roosevelt with equal courtesy,
and all are assiduous in their atten-
tons to the charming daughter of the
president.
The quintette of suitors for the hand
of Miss Roosevelt comprises Lieuten-
ant Robert Sterling Clarke. U. S. A.;
Major Charles MacCawley, U. S. NJ. c.:
John Van Ness Philip, Edwin v. Nor
gan and the Viscount di Alto.
Lieutenant Robert Sterling Clarke,
U. 8. A, stepson Of Bishop Potter and
heir to nearly $40, OO0. 900, is one of
these admirers of Miss Roosevelt. At
his request, she led with him his fam
Gus $780, 900 cotillion given her.
Major Charles MacCawley, U. S. NJ.
c.. the Beau Drummer of Washington
society and arbiter in matters of art
and literature, is another admirer. He
is a son OF General Charles MacCaw-
ley, and is one of the military aides at
the White house functions. He has
no fortune.
John Van Ness Philip of the old Van
Ness family, which once owned the
present seat of government. is aide to
Colonel Clarence Edwards. He is a
friend of the Duchess of Marlborough
and has visited Blenheim. The presi,
dent is very friendly to him.
Edwin V. Morgan of the department
of state is rich and belongs to an ex-
cellent family of central New York.
He was the host of the most elaborate
dinner given in Miss Roosevelt's honor
this season.
The Viscount di Alto, minister from
Portugal, has been very frank in the
expression of his regard for Miss
Roosevelt. He is tall, handsome and
young, partly English and possesses a
comfortable fortune.
