THE CIIANGK.
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. A ftir-
Wr point e.f Hlffeerr, "TT!
he, of professional men In the rnbt
Yiet. 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.

With seven out of the n!i:e cabinet
members wearing mustache, it l ta

face will be less prominent during the

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
