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 TO
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, 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 a we'll
known author of Kentucky stories.
Gibson has dramatic talents, and took
a prominent part in social theatricals.
But 1t was as an athlete and lover of
open air sports that Miss Jarvis came
to know him, and their love of athlet-
les coon 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.

Dental office, on March 4 next, he will
have made a record for numerous cab
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 ~ 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
emit 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
commerce and labor, post Office and
treasury. Attorney General Bona
parte first came into the cabinet as
secretary of the navy.
No other president has made SO
many changes. There have been six
secretaries of the navy since Mr..

That Seeley killed his wife and

r. HB end of the romance of Kather-

Abruzzi is to be like the final chapter
Of an oldfashioned novel, in which The
heroine fees with her memories to
convent walls and the hero betahes
himself and his wounded heart to the
wilderness of the world to seek for
getfulness.
The authoritative announcement
Chat there would be no marriage be-
tween Miss Elkins and the Italian
prince and cousin of king was hard
by cold when the cable brought from
Rome the report that the duke was
planning to be off to the UNEMPLOYED
mountain Businesses of India.
Subsequent dispatches have con
firmed 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.
1t is now learned that Miss Elkins'
attitude toward society for the sext
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.

Mr. Dingley was followed on the

and invariably brought it into the
house with him, laying it on the chair
adjoining the one he occupied.
"The gentleman should practice

Sets New Record for Cabinet Members

Roosevelt entered the White House
Long, Morton, Moody, Bonaparte, Met
calf and Newberry; and five postmas-
tiers general-Smith, Payne, Wynne,
Cortelyou and Meyer. There have
been two secretaries of state-Hay

that Secretary Root is to resign as
soon as he is elected to the senate
from New York and that Assistant
Secretary of State Robert Bacon of
New York and Boston win succeed

Mr.. Roosevelt has also had three sec
