Ladies' cablnet' Organized.

Mrs. Roosevelt has organized what
Washington society call the Ladies'
Cabinet" which is composed of wives
OF cabinet members. Its first meeting has
been held at the White House and the
organization is on a firm basis. 1t Is I'M
6erstood that Mrs. Roosevelt proposes
that her cabinet shall be to social Wash
ington what the President is to official
Washington. Mrs. Roosevelt and her adj
yisers will arrange for all social events
given by the official set so there will be
no conflicting dates and their supervisory
control will extend even beyond the wives
of senators and representatives, for there
are many society leaders in Washington
whose husbands are not in congress and
they will not care to send out invitations
to receptions unless they are sure they
will not run counter to some official or
semi-official. AS consequence all who
are in society" will be compelled to
consult with the Ladies' Cabinet" before
fixing dates for receptions and other en-
tertainments. Another function of the
new body will be TO pass upon invitation
lists and in this respect they will be as
sisted by Assistant Secretary of State
Adee, who designates the seating arrange
fnents at all official dinners and sees that
the diplomats are given the places to
which their rank entities them and exer
cises diplomacy in seeing that representa-
tlves of unfriendly nations are not placed
too closely together.

GEORGIA GETS ONE DOWN

Auburn, October 29.-(special.)-In a
lost to Auburn by a score OF II to 0. The
two elevens were about evenly matched
In weight and speed, Auburn winning by
superior team work and perfect steadi-
ness of play.
The game began by Auburn kicking to
Tech who advanced the ball Is yards,
was held 1or two downs and kicked for
80 yards. Auburn obtained the ball only
to tumble 20 Tech, who again was held
for two downs and again kicked, this time
40 yards. The ball was now on Auburn's
15-yard line.
Here the orange striped tigers pulled
together and by wonderful team work
carried the ball the whole length of the
field for a touch down. STREET. was the
one to place the oval first across Techs
line. Reynolds kicked goal.
The second touch down was made very
much as the first. Teach seemed utterly
unable to meet Auburns heavy line
crashes Jones carried the ball over for
Auburn's second touchdown. Only once
did Tech make first down. Frequent high
ures of her defensive work.
The Second Half.
The second half opened favorably for
Auburn. Tech kicked off to Auburn's B.
yard line and Reynolds caught the ball
and ran for 30 yards. Here began off-side
play on the part of both teams, which,
combined with more punting on Techs
part, kept Auburn from again scoring.
Several times during the second half
Tech had the ball in her possession, and
was never able to- gain either through
Auburns line or around ends.
However, the Georgians played desper-
ate and snappy ball, the ends being es-
pecially strong. Auburn hackers were
proud of the showing made against Heis-
mans crack eleven and great praise
goes to Coach Donohoo who seems so
far to have turned out one of the strong
est teams in the history of Auburn. Tech
has an aggressive team and from be-
ginning to end put up game, hard fight.
The line up was as follows:

Princeton 10. Cornell 6.

Ithica, N. Y, October 29.-Princeton
won today's football game from Cornell
by a score of IS to 6, but the victors were
forced to work their hardest to make
gains being out-clossed by Cornell In
many stages of the game, especially In
the first part of the contest.
THE Cornell men showed their ability
to advance the ball consistently, and
birmingham did well in the punting,
nearly always sending the ball more than
40 yards and losing nothing in exchanges
with Toker. But the failure OF the Cor
nell ends to get down under thee KICKS
proved disastrous, gave the Princetonians
nearly as much ground as they gained IN
scrimmages, and greatly influenced the
outcome of the contest. Captain Lynch
did SPLENDID work in this line, and also
was a mainstay to secondary defense be-
fore he was compelled to retire In the
second half.

Notable Picture Exhibited.

A picture of the Washington family is
now upon exhibition In Washington,
which aside from Its artistic merit is of
rather unusual interest. II represents
General Washington and his family seat
ed upon the portico at Mount Vernon,
and was presumably painted by Edward
Savage, who died in 1877. To the left of
a table upon which is spread a plan for
the laying out Of the Capitol CITY, Cen
eral Washington Is seated with one arm
thrown around his adopted son, while on
the opposite side with Nellie Custis be-
side her and her old servant Billy Lee,
at the back Of her chair, sits Mrs. Wash
ington, pointing with her hand to the
famous drawing. To one side hangs a red
velvet curtain, but to the other the land
scape forms the background The cam
vas is but medium size and the figure are
small. In Harvard university, there is a
portrait of Washington painted by Say
age from life, which has been declared
by a number of authorities as the Best
Of the many which were executed and
so highly did Mrs. Washington esteem
this family picture that engravings of
1t. made by the artist, were left in her
will to those who were nearest to her,
and one Of these now hangs In the sitting
room at Mount Vernon. This painting was
recently found In an old garnet where for
many years 1t had been hidden away.
