A NEWSPAPER CABINET.

Politicians and newspaper men are
already specializing as to the cabinet
which Mr., Taft will choose. 1t Is
clear that he will have the reins OF
government entirely in his own hands,
for MIR. Roosevelt will retire immedi.
ately to associate only with the lions
OF foreign lands and Mr.. Root is a
candidate for election TO the senate.

the nation at large but not necessarily

will resemble that OF Mckinley, who
gathered about him the well.known
names OF the nation, but names which
had not then acquired a Washington
halo. Men prominent In the various
avenues OF society and trade do not
need official residence at Washington
to recommend them for cabinet posi-.
tions. Even Mr.. Taft's most intimate
friends do not yet know whether he
has made out cabinet slate or even
discussed one. What is pretty Ger.

cause Mrs. Ware objected to a dog
being fed from the breakfast dishes in
the dining room of her boarding house
on President street, near the corner
of Amite, her husband, w. H. Ware,
painter, now lives dangerously
wounded by pistol shot fired by Irv-
ing King, boarder, whose wife owns
the house which Ware rents, and who
lives next deer, taking only meals at
the Ware home King is in Jail to
await the result of the wounds.
The quarrel between King and Mrs.
Ware occurred yesterday morning,
while Ware was away at work, but the
shooting did not occur until Z o'clock
last night
According to the best information
obtainable, King went to Wares house
just before the shooting and called
Ware out to take walk. Ware de-
clined to go, telling King if he wanted
to talk to him he could come in on the
gallery, where he was sitting. King
did so, renewing the quarrel of the
morning with him. After an exchange
of several words the men came to
blows and clinched, finally falling in
the doorway with Ware on top. While
scuffling in this position King pulled
his pistol and fired three times, only
the first shot taking effect, and that
in Wares abdomen.
Not weakened by the shot. Ware got
hold of the pistol and wrenched it from
Kings hand, when one of the boarders
got hold of it. By this time King had
got enough of the scuffle and told
Ware so. He was then let up, but re-
newed the fight, when Ware picked
up a chair and again knocked him
down. Weakened from loss of blood,
Ware fell to the floor and for a time
both men lay on the gallery.
Officers were summoned, and as
soon as King was able to go he was
taken to Jail and Ware was carried
into the house and his wound dressed
by nearby physician, who stated that
while dangerous, it is not necessarily
fatal.
