talked-of young lady in the-well, it
would be very nearly safe to say 'in
the world" to-day:
From authority comes the informa-
tion that Miss Roosevelt's wedding
gown is being made in Washington. If
the story Is true, Miss Roosevelt has
never shown patriotism more clearly
than in choosing her bridal robe. 1t
is Of heavy white satin brocade, made
I'm an American silk factory, and will
have on the bodice much fine old lace
owned by the Lee family, of New Eng
land, her mothers people. 1t will be
trimmed with real pearls also. The
lace was worn at the wedding of Miss
ROOsevelt's mother and grandmother.
Miss Roosevelts gOing-away gown is of
gray broadcloth, and, if the gossip of
intimate friends can be trusted, is not
being made in Washington, but in Bal
tlmOre. The Baltimore tailor is also
making for Miss Roosevelt a white
satin evening gown. with a full bodice
trimming of chiffon and lace, and a
pale-sreen evening gown, the latter
color being particularly becoming to
Miss Roosevelt's blond complexion. The
gray travelling costume matches in
shade the set of silver-fOx furs being
made up for Miss Roosevelt by Wash
shaped hat Of gray fur. trimmed with
white wings and designed to wear with
this gray costume.
Another fact relative to the wedding
which is now established almost beyond
question is that Miss Roosevelt will
have no bridesmaids at her wedding,

numerous uSherS There will be pres
ent only the relatives of the two fam
lilies. members of the Cabinet and their
families, members of the Supreme Court
and their families, probably the En-
bassadors and Ministers representing
foreign countries, with no other guests.
Gov. Brady, of Alaska, against whom
charges have been pending nearly the
whole time Of his incumbency in that
Office, now a period of eight years, is
signing. There is a good deal of skep-
ticism on that point. The Governor is
not given to showing SO much conces-
sion to the men who have been fight
ing him as to even talk of resigning.
The resignation talk is based upon a
conference on Alaskan affairs that took
place at the White House recently.

Some eminent physicians in session
Tor scientific discussion in Washington
venture the opinion that one of the
greatest aids to cure Of incipient con-
sumption. in addition to fresh air, Is
plenty Of soap and water, and Incl
dentally remark that this Is true of al
most any disease. 1t is a simple fact
OF nature that plenty Of soap and water
applied at least once a day to the whole
body will come mighty near making a
Christian Of a barbarian. Such a medi-
cine easy of access to the very poorest
would go far toward curing the sick
ness Of the world, il the soap and water
treatment could be extended to house
and clothing. Much Of the worlds dis
ease is caused by filth.
Before President Roosevelt appoints
new District Attorney for Nebraska
he proposes to make certain in his own
mind that the man he selects will be

who has been recommended for the
place. show himself at the White House
and Department of Justice for consid-
