r HE Passing of the Fifth Avenue no.
L tel will mark the disappearance of
the last of the city's hotels possessing
a di~stinctively political atmosphere.
The Fifth Avenue hotel has been the
center Of Republican activity in New
York almost ever since the party
came into existence.
Until the last campaign the party
headquarters for the state was in the
hotel, and during the years when
Thomas c. Plat was the boss he re-
sided there. Now Plat, boss no long
er, has moved to an obscure side
street, and only a few old-time politi-
clans are to be met wandering
through the corridors of the famous
building on Madison square.
The Hoffman house once occupied
q position in Democratic politics sim
liar to that of the Fifth Avenue in Re-
publican affairs, but the old building
has been replaced by a new one, much
as the old leaders of Democracy have
been.
About the only prominent political
figure at present closely identified with
any metropolitan hotel is Gov. Hughes,
who has announced that his legal res
idence is the Hotel Astor, fronting on
Broadway, at Longacre square,. If
the Hughes political star rises as far
as the governors admirers expect, it
may be that the new Aston will. fall
heir to the political glories Of the
old Fifth Avenue. It is more prob
able, however, that the size of the
great new establishments like the

WOMEN have changed the faces of
" empires, and why should not a
woman have a strong voice in saying
whether such and such a mar should
rule the republic of so-and-so?
Capital gossips assert Theodore
Roosevelt will keep his promise not
to run again for the presidency, and
in that retirement he will be fulfilling
not merely his promise to the people
but his pledge to his wife.
Mrs. Roosevelt has Informed exceed
ingly close friends that her husband
and she long ago decided that, purely
as a family affair, not a political one,
they and theirs would leave the white
house on March 4, 1909.
1t is said that Mrs. Roosevelt re-
l%uctantly consented to introduce her
young daughter Ethel to Washington
society, probably in Christmas week
of 1908.
Mrs. Roosevelt, says the confidants,

is determined to shield Ethel from the
publicity that came to Alice Roosevelt
and she would prefer that the former
girl wait until the family should be
established in private life. Still she
realizes what it is for a young girl to
make her social bow in the white
house, and for that reason she will
grant to Ethel just three months as a
social grown-up.
Mrs. Roosevelt from the first hour
of the presidents incumbency has
been solicitous about it's effect on her
children. Often she has pleaded with
persons not to spoil the children and
has exerted all her influence to keep
all their doings out of print.
It is likely Miss Roosevelt will
spend the two years after she leaves
Washington in travelling abroad and
studying music and languages. She
will not be 18 until the summer of
1909.

last summer. She was the only wife
of a millionaire who remained in hot
New York while the summer resorts
were open.
Thaw's buoyancy is remarkable.
Far from fading and wasting away,
the prison officials say that he eats
like a laborer and his moody spells
seem to have disappeared. In fact,
he seems to have gained strength in
his Incarceration.
Thaw, for once, seems to be pleased

ONLY ROYAL Doctor.

The only royal doctor in Europe is
Duke Carl Theodore of Bavaria. Few
German princes have had a more ro-
mantle career than Duke Carl Theo-
dore. He recently completed, with
his wife as his assistant, his five-thou-
sandth operation for cataract.
Poor people flock to his hospital.
where they are treated free, the duke
asking payment only from those who
can easily afford it. He it was who
successfully treated the kaiser, when,
eight years ago, he was temporarily
blinded by a swinging rope when
cruising on the Hobenzollern in the
North sea.

A Vast Sum,

The amount of money which the
government is called upon to redeem
in the course of the year reaches an
almost fabulous amount. In 1904. for

redemption is either for the purpose

Experiences, Joys and Sorrows Of the
Human Existence.

The loves and friendships Of indi-

life may be shortly summed up: A
little loving and a good deal of sor-
rowing; some bright hopes and many
bitter disappointments; some gor-
geous Thursdays when the skies are
bright and the heavens blue, when

ings, >glads the heart almost to mad.

smoke of torment beclouds the mind
and undying sorrows gnaw upon the
heart; some high ambitions and many
Waterloo defeats, until the heart be-
comes like a charnel house filled with
dead affections, embalmed in holy
but sorrowful memories: and then
the chord is loosed, the golden bowl
is broken, the individual life-a cloud.

Chicago. Sept. 21.-Witl1 only 800
head of cattle received at the yards
today, the market held steary.
The weeks supply of cattle looms up
the largest thus far this season. The
total stands close to 10000 head, which
includes $4,000 rangers. This does not
leave the native offering larger than
the normal, but altogether receipts
We're too large to suit the demand. and
late i'll the week sellers were obliged
to accept lower prices. Many of the
range cattle were good in quality and
the trade in natives up to Sc was Wis
IDLY affected by this competition.
Eastern shippers did not buy as free
ly as last week, and there was not
much of a demand from exporters. To-
tai shipments of cattle this week were
not as large as last week. tho receipts
were about 1000 larger and there
We're more feeders bought. The fact
that there was a car famine, however,
had something to do with the lighter
shipments.
Good to choice steers sold pretty
well most of the week; at the close
most traders call them 10@15c lower
h a week ago. The greatest decline
was IN the medium weight steers of
medium quality. which came into
strongest competition with the grass
ers. Many of these cattle are 25@35c
lower han at the best time last week.
This strikes the steers from $5.50 M6.26
the hardest. The common light grassy
native steers We're also hard to sell,
tho anything that was suitable for
feeders was brought up by outside Wis
itors.
Many westerns are in sight for next
week, and the majority of traders do
not look for any better market.
