GOSSIPS OVER ROMANCES
Secretary Wilson Will Probably Wed
Departmental Clerk.

WASHINGTON, May 3.-There is
renewed gossip that Secretary Wilson,
the most venerable member of the cab
met, is to be married, perhaps before
the beginning of the summer, although
no definite announcement has been
made.
The lady is said to be one of the
clerks in the department of agriculture.
She is connected with some of the
best families of the east, and is a
handsome widow of middle age. 1t is
said that the approaching marriage is
what is keeping Miss Wilson in Europe.
She cannot tolerate the idea of step
mother, and is said to be taking a spe-
cial course in music, with view to
taking up classes in the University of
Idaho, where she taught before her
father entered the first Mckinley cab
met.
