Expects to Complete Assignments on House Committees Before Holidays. Washington.—Speaker Cannon is dividing his time these days between his dentist and the members of the house who are seeking committee assignments. The afternoons are given to the members, but while he listens carefully to all of them, he has not so far made any promises. The speaker is hopeful of completing his assignments before the Christmas holidays. The Fifty-ninth congress had been in session only seven days when the speaker’s announcement was made, the time being the briefest ever taken by a speaker in filling the committees, except in the Forty-third congress, when only four days were re quired. In the Forty-eighth congress twenty-six days were required, but that congress convened early in No vember, leaving the speaker less time Lithonia, Ga—Enoch Sanders, a bachelor, who lived at the home of bis sister-In-law, Mrs. Alice Sanders, near here, rushed into the kitchen where his niece, Bertha, was early Wednesday, and slashed her throat | for preparation in advance than he with a ragoi Before her. mother | had in 1905, and will have this year, “ould interfere, Sanders had ent the irl badly.

The Root residence, where the ceremony took place, belongs to former Vice-President Levi P. Morton, who occupied it for months between the times of the leaving of Count Cassini, who leased it for the Russian embassay quarters, and its renting for residence purposes by Secretary Root. While the wedding party was compara- tively small, the house is big enough to hold a multitude. It stands on @ triangular piece of ground with Scott Cirele at one end, Fifteenth street at the other end and a street on each side. Lieutenant Grant and Miss Root were married in the great south room on the first fleor of the residence, & room which is as long as the house itself.
