III HINGTON.-When Theodore

Dental Office, on March next, he will
have made record for numerous cabf
met appointments. The last cabinet
meeting he presides over will be COM
posed almost solely of comparatively
new men. There will be but one man,
Secretary Wilson, who attended the
first cabinet meeting that Roosevelt
held in the autumn of 1901. There
will be only one other. Secretary of
the Treasury Cortelyou, who was at
the cabinet table in March, 1905, when
Mr.. Roosevelt entered upon his pres
ent term.
In the seven and half years of his
tenure, Mr.. Roosevelt will have had
20 different cabinet officers, but not
as many different men, for Mr.. Root
has served under him first as secre-
tary of war and then as secretary OF
state. Mr.. Cortelyou has had three
cabinet positions under Roosevelt

HE end of the romance of Kather-
/ Inc Elkins and the duke of the
Abruzzi is to be like the final chapter
Of an old-fashioned novel, in which the
heroine fees with her memories to
convent walls and the hero betakes
himself and his wounded heart to the
wilderness of the world to seek for
getfulness.
The authoritative announcement
that there would be no marriage be-
tween Miss Elkins and the Italian
prince and cousin of king was hard
ly cold when the cable brought from
Rome the report that the duke was
planning to be off to the unexplored
mountain Businesses of India.
Subsequent dispatches have con-
flrmed that report, and ever since
Washington has been wondering what
the young woman would do, it being
assumed that her affections had been
as deeply wounded as her royal suit
or's by the breaking of the engage
ment.
It is now learned that Miss Elkins'
attitude toward society for the next
six months at least, and perhaps
longer, will be more serious than was
anticipated
Arrangements have been made by
Miss Elkins to begin the serious work
of study in the homeopathic general
hospital in Washington.

To Embark Again on Matrimonial Sea

This is Mr.. Gibson's second venture
on the sea of matrimony. In 1900 he
married Miss Minna Field, daughter
of Henry Field of Chicago and niece
of Marshall Field, the merchant dry
goods prince. Their wedding eight
years ago was the result of a ro-
nance dating from their meeting in
school, but the marriage turned out
unhappily and two years ago Gibson
and his first wife were divorced.
Shortly afterward she married Alger-
non Burnaby, a member of the British
smart set," and they are living in
Licestershire.
After his divorce Preston Gibson
took up his residence permanently in
Washington and at once became pop
ular in the set which comprises some
of the best known beaux and bellies Of
the capital. Besides being we'll
known author of Kentucky stories,
Gibson has dramatic talents, and took
prominent part in social theatricals.
But it was as an athlete and lover Of
open air sports that Miss Jarvis came
to know him, and their love of athlet.
les soon ripened into the romance
which was announced recently.
The debut of Miss Jarvis last win
ter was regarded as one of the smart
est events of the season.

Comparisons are proverbially odious
when applied to persons; they are fre"
quently misleading, especially If they
deal with a part only of the facts, when
applied to other matters. For exam
pie, here is the question of the compar-
ative cost of keeping a horse and OF
running an automobile. A gentleman
who prides himself on driving "single
cylinder declares that when he Kept a
horse and trap he spent upon it fully
$500 a year. Most of the money was
paid to servant; for, he adds, "a
groom is, of course, essential, es one
can scarcely look after a horse one
SELF" After he bought an automobil
he estimated his heaviest expense as
tires, $50; his next largest, gasoline,
$40, and his total annual outlay as only
trif1e above 5000. During the year
for which figures are given, he travelled
some 5000 miles, and found that IL
cost him on an average less than four
cents mile. Il looked after the ma
chine myself, entirely" he says. The
question that the situation suggests is,
Why not deduct from the six hundred
spent on the horse and trap the cost
of the man who took care of them, or
why not add the expense of chauffeur
to the cost of running the automobile

Trinity Church G Corporation Loses Money

Collections and contributions for the
year amounted to about $94,50O, and,
following the custom that began after
the foundation of the church in 1897,
all of this amount was given for char
liable missionary objects, in addition
to the sums directly appropriated for
these purposes.
These offerings and contributions do
not appear upon the books of the cor
poration, as they are received and dis
bursed by the clergy of the various
churches under the direction of the
rector.
The corporations outstanding loans
to churches outside of it's own parish
amounted to $370,946, and, as it col
lects no interest on the loans, Trinity
in effect makes an annual contribution
to the work of these churches in the
amount of the interest, which it re-
frains from collecting.
Trinity's income of $780,000 is ex-
pended mainly through three channels
of its religious activities, its schools
and the requirements of its property.
The expenditures for its ten churches
and chapels amounted to $277,554, and
for its schools, $63,756, the largest
item being it's taxes.
Repairs was the item of next i'm
portance, the figures for repairs, alter
ations, and supplies to buildings other
than churches and schools being $103,'
