The bell of Time has rung down the curtain upon the Roosevelt admin istration, and lot all is changed at Washington! .Stately homes have been closed, shutters have gone up, and the places that once knew their high offi cial occupants know them no more. With the departure of President Koowl . telt, several cabinet officer and many minor officials passed also, and new faces, new people and new homes come In with the new president. It ls,surprinlng how far-reaching these changes are. A nv president, naturally enough,' wants Ms own friends about him, consequently the personnel of the employees of the White House undergoes ft more or less weeping change, and new secretaries, ' Clerks, door-keepers and meHsengers appear at the executive msnMlon and executive offices. The cabinet mem bers ore prompted by the same desire, and the same results follow in their offices. Out of the nine men composing the president's cabinet seven are new members, and In many ways the Taft cabinet Is a very different body from that of Mr. Roosevelt, Perhaps the most noticeable point of difference Is In the ago. of the men. With the sln rle exception of Mr. Wilson, the Roose velt cabinet was composed of compar atively young: men. In Mr. Tuffs cab Inet the only man under 50 years Is Postmaster General Hitchcock, while three others urn between the years, of 10 and 60; five between 60 and C5; and one, Mr. Wilson, has passed his 7 0 1 ) milestone, it nlo said that' these mm represent more cnservn.-j live Mens than their predecessors. Yet Vnt Is decidedly uncertain, for, almost fefthotii exception, oil the members of this new cabinet are men who, In their home xtnfes, hove been known as re-j formers and more or les identified with what an; known a - - 1 Tr . . itootse- ... policies o( reformation.

Seven of thctrt Rre lawyers, ftl thouKh Mr, MaeVeagh," the secretary of the treasury, and rostmuster Gen eral Hitchcock have not followed the profession In rel ent years. Two of the member of this cabinet Mr. Mao Veagh, and Mr, Plckinson, secretary ftf war became republicans in recent years, leaving the democratic party nn Mr. Ju-vhti'h flist nomination. Professor Willis I.. Moore, head of the weather bureau, apparently learns with difficulty how dangerous It Is to prophesy weather condition. The dav previous to th Inauguration Mr. Taft received a message that lie would lake the oath of office under doodles ll;lcs lie may have been correct, for the nlr was so filled with snow that the iky was not visible. A similar false prediction was made on March 3, l!o. on the eve of MiKinlcv'e second In animation, when M M "ore siiit the committee i'l cha'.;e. Uie following. "The weather will V '.tie finest ci.-r experienced in tlie lnui;oratl"ii of s president " I'r.-sldent NUKinle- tool, his oath in a ilromhlng 1owi;ptmr rain and the entire dav wet and chilly. With seven out of the n!i:e cabinet members wearing mustache, it l ta . ken that In effiicsl circles the smooth face will be less prominent during the prrf! ndn-.fnixtrnttoTV If- Wahtnc ton srK- ty de. re. in favor of the mustaches, so will the country at large. t President Taft ran accomplish as Iedy legislation In proportion to the trork before It at did Governor Den- on with hi special session, the couii try have reason to (really rejob a. ., IIoiihc Adjourn I'm II Monday.

Nashvill.;, March 19. John P. Stmrpe, ft inierly sheriff, was today HC'iuittod of murdering former Sen ator K. W. Cuimaok. 'J'lie Jury failed to agree on n verillct In tho cose of Col. Pu nca n Cooper and his son, Rob in. The court discharged Shaipe, but sent the Jury hack to consider the Cooper c.u'e. The Jury has been out over two days. The killing of earmark was the out grott th of a long and bitter political feud between the Coopers and Car nmek. embracing many prominent men in the slate. If the Jury is dis missed, ns probably will be the rase. It is not thought the Coopers will be tiled for some time again on account of the difficulty or getting a Jury. Cat mack was originally a protege ef Col. Cooper. Later they became curiiiie when Cnrmack went to the I'niU-d States senate. Carmack assnil- .d Cooper in his paper, when he fulled to secure a re-i li ctlon a year ago. im mediate trouble preceding the shoot ing developed from the publication of n article which Ciper warned Car- act; -,,( j,i print. f'oon Htterwar.! Carmai k met the Coopers on the street and after the exchange of a few words Carmack was shot down by Robin Cooper. In defense young Cooper de clared be thoMght his father w.is !n danger of death by Carmai k. S TE WA RD'S OPERA HO USE Event of the Season MONDAY, MARCH 22nd ENGAGEMENT OF WE DISllNOUISHED ACTOR MR.
