King. President Harding's widow.
left the White House for the last
time. Four days later the new presi-
dent. Calvin Coolidge. and Mrs.
Coolidge. quietly drove from the
Willard hotel and took up their res
idence in the executive mansion.
That was more than five years
ago. and they have lived there since.
but today there were many signs
symbolic Of changes made and Of
changes to come. Workmen were
busy on Pennsylvania avenue In
front of the White House building
stands for spectators to watch the
Inauguration of Herbert Hoover. In
side the White House, Mrs. Coolidge
was busy experimenting the pack
ing OF her household effects. for In

ident will call Northampton. Mass.
their home. On Capitol Hill and in
other places where politics are dis
cussed there we're host Of rumors
of cabinet appointments to be made
by the incoming president.
Three Cabinet Prospects
Three names have been mentioned
with persistency and with semi
official assurance as members of
that cabinet, and though such as
surance has often been wrong in the
past, many are confident that Henry
L. Stimson will be the new secretary
Of state, Harlan +. Stone the new
attorney general and Ray Lyman
Wilbur the new secretady of the In
terror. In the same circles 1t was
said that William NJ. Jardine would
not retain his post as secretary OF az
riculture,. but would resign to 60 into
private business.
Mr.. Stone Is now associate justice
of the supreme court and he relln-
guished the post of attorney general
when he was appointed to the bench
by President Coolidge. Those who
predict that Justice Stone will be the
next attorney general have already
fIled his place. 1t would be taken
by Curtis d. Wilbur. now secretary
of the navy. and in turn his brother.
Ray Lyman Wilbur. now president
Of Leland Stanford university. would
become secretary of the interior.
StimsOn Leads Morrow
When speculation first began
about cabinet appointments. quite q
few chose Dwight Morrow. ambassa-
dor of Mexico, for the post Of secre-
tary OF state, but Stimson, at pres
cnt governor general of the Philip
pines. now probably leads Morrow
as the choice of the unofficial cab
met makers. Mr.. Stimson was sec
rotary of war under President TAFT
and is well known in Washington.
The cabinet in the last analysis
depends upon Herbert Hoover. and
he has not talked for publication,
and neither has President Coolidge
answered the oft-broached question
as to what he intends to do after
March 4. unofficially the president
has had many jobs picked for him,
but it is believed by some close TO
him that he will give no thought TO
what he will do in the future until
after he leaves the White House.

 thor afforded the most satisfactory
 rest after great fatigue. Incidentally,
 he declared that he never could en- joy good book and whiskey to-
 gether, and that he much doubted if any mortal could; but reading and smoking together he pronounced di- vine.
 The death of his wife in 1890 caused Lord Rosebery to retire from public life for a time, during which he completed his biography of Will liam Pitt, from whom his ancestry
 was traced. His writings on Ma
 poleon at St. Helena and the early life of Chatham were less popular. Four children were born to Lord and Lady Rosebery-two sons and 1.-two daughters The elder son, Lord
 Dalmey, is we'll known in English and American polo circles. The sec ond son. Neil Primrose, was killed i in action while serving in Egypt dur ing the World war. Both sons for
 merly were members of Parliament. One of the daughters, Lady Sybil, was married to Captain Charles Grant, and the other. Lady Mar
 garet, became the wife of the Earl
 of Crewe.
 Retired At X In 1922, at the age of 75. Lord
 Rosebery turned over most of his property to his son and heir and announced that he. would spend the
 rest of his life in seclusion. He
 had visited almost every country m the world and given 50 much of his life to politics that he wanted noth- ing more. he said. than to pass the
 remainder of his span in reading
 and meditation.
 Rosebery made four trips to
 America, and became strong ad-
 vocate of new world democracy. His influence was used unspari4Ely to
 strengthA the tRt of tefanhy be.
 tween this country and England.
 "The United States ia the most dem-
 ocratic country in the world" he
 once said.
 The property relinquished to his
 heir, Lord Dalmeny, included more
 than 30, 900 acres in Scotland, in a1- dition to estates in Herts, Kent and
 Suffolk in England.

Succeeded Gladstone IS Prime Minister in 1894- Fulfilled His Three Ex. pressed Ambitions.

Epson. England. May 2l ReThe Earl of Rosebery, former liberal prime minister and one of the .ast of England's great Victorians, died at 2:t2 a. m., today at his home, The Durdans, near here after brief illness His death was the gradual sinking into sleep of an aged man, worn out by years and infirmity.
 All his near relatives. save 13- year-old granddaughter. Ruth Prim- rose. child of the son who was killed fighting in Palestine. were at :he bedside of the S2-year- man, who was known equally in England as statesman, author, and turfman.
 His elder daughter, the Marchion- ess of Crewe. hurrying from the con- tinent, had arrived . few hours ear. Her at The Durcans where she joined her sister. Lady Sybil Grant, the earl's sister. Lady Leconfield, her brother and hclr 10 the title, Loro Dalmeny, and her husband, the Marquis of Crewe. recently British ambassador at Paris.
 His death caused general sorrow hereabout, where the former pre- mier's steadfast clinging to the habits of the "S0's" and his benign and sportsmaniike outlook on life had made him one of the best be- loved of residents. Most of his ser wants were in tears.
 The earl, who was the fifth of his rarne, had celebrated his sgd birth cay only 8 fortnight ago by driving from his countrl home, The Durdans, to Epson Town in barouche and pair, accompanied by postillion in true Victorian style. Last Friday he caught a slight cold which grew rap- idly worse. It took its final serious turn yesterday morning.
 Fulfilled Three Ambitions
 Archibald Philip Primrose. fifth Earl of Rosebery. who became prime minister of England at the request of Queen Victoria upon the retire. ment of William Gladstone in 1894. was a man of many parts, and few have equalled him in the versatility of his genius. Early in life he pre- cicted that he would do three things win the Derby. marry an heiress, and become premier of England all of which he did. In fact he was three times winner of the Derby.
 The position he held sfter with drawing from the leadership of the liberal party, and then from political life entirely, was unique. The retir- ed politician, however brilliant his achievements, as a rule is soon for gotten. But not so with Lord Rose bery. On the contrary, for many years after he left the active politi- cal field his influence in the country and his hold upon the people con- tinued to increase, until he came to be regarded as public orator" for the British Empire. No man before him had attained such heights in the esteem of his countrymen.
 Lord Rosebery was born in Lon. don May z, 1S47. The distinguished house of Rosebery, which has given England many men of capacity in various walks of life. was raised to the peeraEe in 1700, through the services of alt ancestors sword in support of Bonnie Prince Charlie" {"
