ETHEL ROOSEVELT TO WED.
Rumored She Is to Become Wife of
Young Banker.

Washington, Jan. miss Ethel
Roosevelt, now the young lady OF
the White House." will be given a
ball tomorrow night by her father
and mother, and the members of
Washington's younger social set are
awaiting the function with the great
est of impatience. AS matter of
fact, the ball will be Miss Ethel's in
formal coming out party and Will
mark her debut in the fashionable
society of the national capital. Dame
Rumor has taken advantage of the
occasion to roll under her tongue
many juicy morsels of gossip con-
cerning the presidents daughter and
her alleged love affairs, and many
of the old DANES aides are circulat-
ing stories to the effect that there
will be another wedding in the
White House before President Roose-
welt leaves. Charles Glover son OF a
bank president, rs most often men
toned as the leading suitor for the
hand and heart of the fair Miss Eth
ell, although other wise ones insist
that Captain Mccoy, one of the
presidents military aides, is in the
lead in this contest of the Lockln-
vars. The latter is said to be a favor
ite with Mr.. Roosevelt, who would
welcome him as a sonin-law.

RESPONSES WERE LIBERAL
Many Ladies Contribute to the Re-
lief of Mrs. Martin.

The story in yesterdays Light
concerning the illness and distress
of Mrs Martin excited the sympathy
of many ladies in the city, and i'm
mediately after reading the paper
they set about to manifest their SYM
pathy in substantial manner. They
called at the house late in the after
noon to see what assistance they
could render in the meantime TAX
ing with them such articles of cloth
ing and edibles as they thought
world be needed Bright and early
Thursday morning other oontribu-
tions began pouring in.
In this connection the Light wish
es to state that the condition of Mrs.
Martin has not been unknown to the
charity committee. A member of the
committee stated Thursday morning
that aid had been rendered Mrs
Martin at various times during the
past three years, especially when she
was' without employment or unable
to work The funds OF the committee
have also been drawn upon for her
relief during the present Illness We
take pleasure in making this state
ment because the committee is com
posed of men who are always quick
to relieve distress where the case is
a worthy one. They have splendid
system of dispensing the funds plac-
ed in their hands. When an object of
charity is reported to them they make
an investigation as TO the worthiness
of the applicant before any assistance
is rendered. No person deserving
