SUBDRDINATES RUN _ THE GOVERNMENT No Member of the Cabinet In Washington at Prg;ent. ‘Washington, Aug. 16.—Not a mem- ber of President Taft’s cabinet is in Washington. The capital is in the midst of midsummer dullness and the members of the cabinet are seeking rest and recreation elsewhere, leay- ing the administration of affairs in the executive departments in the hands of assistants, who by telegraph, telephone or mail keep in touch with the higher officials whenever necessity arises. The situation, while vnusual, is not without precedent. It is a commentary on the easy manner in which the busi- ness of the national government may be conducted. Any sudden emergency requiring the presence of the cabinet here would be promptly met by sum- moning them- to Beverly, Mass., the president’s summer home, for nearly 2ll are within thirty-six hours’ ride. The executive authoritles of the government rest “under the presi- dent’s hat” and that headgear is now in Beverly. The president is in touch Wwith the cabinet and is belng consult- ed by them, although as much as pos- sible they refrain from interfering with the president’s holidays. CONSIDERING SUTTON CASE Naval Board of Inquiry Meets Behind Closed Doors. Annapolis, Md., Aug. -16.—Behind closed doors members of the board of inquiry investigating the death of Lieutenant James N.

This report will be made to the secretary of the navy, through ‘whom will come the decision. Just when the decislon will be glven out at Washington cannot be said, but it is belleved that the secre- tary will make known his decision as soon as possible because of the wide interest in the case. SOCIETY WOMAN WEDS YOUTH Latter Had Been a Messenger Boy Until a Year Ago. Evansville, Ind,, Aug. 16.—Willlam T.

A witty but not overindustrious Celt was one of a street gang. A few min- utes before noon one day he threw his shovel Into the gutter, sat down on the curbstone and proceeded to light his pipe. Just then the superintendent of streets came round a corner and, seeing Pat, roared out: “Here! What "are you throwing down your shovel for at this time of day?” “To cool it, sorr,” said Pat. Wasted Opportunities. “How dld you like my talk last night?” asked the beginner in the lec- ture fleld. “Well,” replied the candid critic, “you didn’t take advantage of your many opportunities.” “1 dido’t?” “No; you had a number of opportuni- ties to quit before you dld.”—Philadel- phia Press, THE MODEL DRY CLEANING HOUSE HOGANSON BROS., Proprietors Telephone No. 537" .. 106 Second Sireet : Dry Cleaning of Ladies’ and Gents’ Clothing, Rugs, Carpets, Household Furnishings, etc. Also Sponging and Pressing on Short Notice. : Children’s Eyes Are 'Pafiicularly Delicate ONCE STRAINED THEY REMAIN WEAK ALWAYS Eye Eefects Are Always Hidden Are you sure that your child’s. eyes are perfect?
