Cortleyou to Retire.

Other vacancies in the Cabinet viii

of Secretary Cortelyou, who may be
succeeded either by George Won L

Attorney General Bonaparte has an
nourccd his intention OF retiring with
rhe Roosevelt administration.
Secretary Wilson may also go. 1t
has been suggested he has made plans
already for becoming president of a
Western College One of Secretary
Wilson's closest official associates said
today he had been told already by Mr.
TAFT that in case OF the election re-
sul;ing favorably he would be ask 10

1t is considered likely one of the
first announcements 70 be made by Nh
Taft will be the appointment of Fred
w Carpenter as secretary to the pres
ident. Mr.. Carpenter acted as private
secretary to Mr.. Taft while he was at
the head of the Philippine Commis-
sion and later when he was secretary
of war He was appointed from San
Francisco.
1t is quite generally accepted in the
current speculation that Frank H.
Hitchcock chairman of tie Republi-
can National Committee, will be in
cluded in the Cabinet, probably as
postmaster general. a post for which
ne would have practical qualifications
owing to his service until few mon
this ago as first assistant postmaster
general in the present administration.
position he voluntarily relinquished
to take personal charge of Mr.. Tafts
interests.
1t is assumed prett" generally that
Mr.. Taft will look to his own state for
some of his cabinet material, and this
leads TO conjecture concerning Ex-
Governor Hcrrick OF Ohio, whose
name has been suggested in connec-
ton with the secretaryship OF the
treasury. Ex-Governor Herrick has
long been identified with financial al
fairs. has taken an active interest IN
measures OF governmental finance and
has been vice-president the Amer.
ican Bankers Association.

The members of the Pierian
Circle were given ali opportunity
to laugh at last Sundays meeting.
The question of continuing the
form of criticism in vogue for the
past two months was the main bus
mess topic. A motion to continue
the system indefinitely was lost; a
second motion to continue the sys-
tenn for two months longer carried.
Two applications for membership
were favorably considered by the
Circle.
The program opened with pi-
ano solo by Mr.. G. The airy mu.
sic foated about the chapel i'm.
pressing as with a sense of the
sweetness of life even though in
durance vile. The musical selec-
ton was followed by an Grafton
entitled: "The Problem of Con-
vict Labor, Relating to Road
Building"
A paper, 1.-THE Greatness of Mo
ses," was next on the program.
The author dealt with Moses as a
man among men. The subject
matter was excellently set forth:
and in logical manner, enabling
the auditors to obtain an impartial
view of one of the truly great men
who have left their impressive
deeds recorded for the benefit OF
generation after generation.
A violin solo, piano accompani-
ment, was rendered next. The ap-
plause which followed the rendi.
ton evidenced a sincere apprecia-
ton of the selection. Hereafter
quietly suggest that the violinist
be prepared to acknowledge the
encore with lively selection.
"The Dime Novel Indian and
the Indian in Real Life" was the
title of the next paper. Our local
humorlst threw halo of glory
about the noble red man as he In
youthful days had been wont to
think of John" when familiariz.
ing himself with the marvellous
encounters of dime novel heroes
with the Indians. Thereafter the
author dealt with the Indian in
real life as he had learned from
personal observation. The under.
lying logic was indisputable; the
mirth-provoking humor amply rec
ognize9.
The next paper treated of "Elec.
trica! Development" As it was
the authors first contribution tc

appreciated, and his literary abill.
ty attested to by the critics ex-
preston to the effect that it was
