TIE PRESIDENTS CABINET.
1t Is Fashioned After the Old Privy
 Council of EnnIand.

In the sense in which "cabinet' is used in American politics the word has a curious origin and his tory. It goes back to the time of King William I1l and Queen Mary, his wife, in England, from which country it was brought to America. But in Great Britain a custom as forceful as law keeps the sovereign out of the cabinet meetings. This usage began by accident.
 The word itself is French in de- rivation and originally meant the diminutive of "cabine'-a little room. When George l. was king he could not take part in the delibera- tions of his own privy council be- cause he knew no English. British statesmen did not speak German. So the ministers who served this first of the Hanoverian sovereigns of the United Kingdom used to meet in the kings private room or cabinet while he was absent. After ward they informed him of the re- suit of their discussions. At that time, as we'll as earlier in British history, much use was made of French words and phrases in court life and state affairs.
 It followed naturally that the part of the privy council which was supposed to be in particular favor l with the king, and especially close to him, came to be spoken of as his cabinet council, although there was never any such legal distinction made between some of the ministers of state and the others.
 To this day there is no official recognition in Great Britain of a cabinet. No record is made of it's meetings or discussions or of the resolutions offered there and voted down or adopted. Members of the cabinet or inner council of minis ters are careful to keep secret all of its proceedings, even after they retire from office.
 When George Washington estab- lished the practice of having the heads of great government depart ments meet with him for considera- tion of public business it was nat ural that these gatherings should 1 be spoken of in the English fashion as meetings of the cabinet. In that manner the name became firmly rooted in the political life of the United States, and the importance of the cabinet itself has grown with the expansion of the country's off, cial business.-Philadelphia Ledger.

Long Drawn Out Dinners.

If you think that you are unable to stand a dinner which lasts fo1 three or four hours because of the frightful boredom of it all, keep away from China. For there at a fashionable dinner you might be called upon to remain at the table anywhere from twenty to thirty hours. For they do have dinners there that sometimes reach that length. State dinners have been known to begin at noon of one day and last until evening of the next. Foreign envoys bring back tales of sitting sometimes thirty hours at a stretch and being served with 140 different courses and 150 different dishes. Chicago Tribune.

Scotch Division,

At school north of the Tweed the teacher was instructing his class in the rudiments of simple division,

 "Ten, maybe" said the boy.
 "Why 'maybe?'" asked the mas- ter.
 Because, sir, Macgregor wouldna gie me ten unless you were standing by."

An Economical Lass.

A Scotchman wishing to know his fate at once telegraphed pro posal of marriage to the lady of his choice. After spending the entire day at the telegraph office he was finally rewarded late in the evening by an affirmative answer. 'eJf l were you,' suggested the operator, when he delivered the message, "I'd think twice before I'd marry girl that kept me waiting all day for an answer" 'Na, na," retorted the Scot.

Daughters Craze for Dress Brings
Rich Old Manufacturer
Under Charm.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-Extravagance,
it seems, breeds extravaganza. The
family of William Hughes. 65-year- old
retired manufacturer of Brooklyn, will
give testimony to that effect.
If Hughes three daughters had been
satisfied with the bountiful store of fall
gowns they already possessed, they
would not have called Miss Mary l. Nc
Intyre, a Fascinating dressmaller, into
their home They would not have thus
given their father opportunity to meet
her, to fall slave to her captivating
manners, and to be embroied in a
breach of promise suit. from which liti-
cation the pretty dressmaker emerged
the eXultant possessor of $35, 900. The
amount, granted by verdict of a Brook
Ign Supreme Court jury, is one of the
largest awards ever made in breach
of promise case in this State.
The trial, notable because Of the
grant made, is to-day one OF the inter
esting topics of New Nork's converse
ton. 1t was m, "ked by a number OF
bon mots from the attorneys, particu-
larly a sarcastic characterization OF
Miss Mcintyre by Hughes counsel
she came into this courtroom" he
| declared, with a handkerchief in one
hand and some smell ing salts in the
other, prepared to take off the old gen.
| tieman'S money"
The three daughters of the aged man
ufacturer testified in his behalf and the
case occupied four days, most of which
| time was taken up in the reading OF the
many letters which passed between
Hughes and his youthful inamorata.

Name Revision To Be Issue at
North Georgia Conference
Session at Elberton.

EI.BERTON, Nov. 1.-THE fact that
two leading ministers of the North
Georgia Methodist Conference have
died this year and that six or eight
now In the active ministry will prob
ably retire at the coming session Of
the annual conference to be held here
November 20 is causing speculation
among the Methodist clergy of North
Georgia relative to the appointments
OF preachers for the next twelve
months.
The situation is made more com
plicated by the fact that eight other
preachers will be forced to move this
fall on account of having served their
churches the year limit of con-
secutive service.
one Albanian to Move.
Those ministers who are forced to
move on account of the expiration of
their four years are: Athens District,
j. H. Mashburn, OF Madison; Atlanta
District, j. S. Strickland, Bonnie Brae
Church, Atlanta; Augusta District, G.

Flovilla, and J. s. Askew, Inman; La
Grange District, A. H. S. Bugg, Chip
ley; oxford District, NJ. B. Sans, Sa-
lem.
One of the most important items of
business to be considered by the COM
ing conference Is the proposal to
change the name of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South to Methodist
Episcopal Church. This matter was
brought up at the last session of the
General Methodist Conference in 1910
at Asheville, but was deferred to the
various conferences by vote. Some
of the Western conferences claim that
the word South" interferes with their
work
The work of the North Georgia
Conference will be done largely
through committees. On the various
committees appointed a number of
Atlanta Methodists hold prominent
places.
Atlantans on Committees.
Among them are the following: III,

Mrs Robinson, in interviews,
frankly declared the trouble between
her husband and herself was due to
the workings of the Curtisses, whose
enmty she incurred by refusing them
implicit obedience. The priest and
MS wife she declared, tried to exploit
the students of the order for their
own use.
One of the essential theories of the
order came to light when DR.. Curtiss
declared DR.. Robinson and his wife
could not get along because their
souls belong to different color rays
