An Accomplishments Worth Possessing.
To take scissors, needle.and goods and
transform ones artistic ideas, or inn
pressions received from observation,
into siIken or gingham entities, at half
the cost one must pay the regular Dress
maker, is an requirement more gener-
ally desired than possessed. And yet
what useful passtime should hold forth
more absorbing attractions, what result
should bring greater satisfaction to q
woman than the consciousness that the
stylish and neatly fitting garment she
wears represents her own genius and
thrift The richest young lady Of our
land could we'll point with pride to such
an evidence of her artistic ability and
industry, while to the poor thorough
knowledge of dreesmaking is q sure
road to Independence, 1t is, therefore,
not only another step forward in our
city's progress but matter of universal
interest to this section to learn
that fully equipped school has been
opened by progressive lady of Los An
geles, wherein cutting and fitting and
all the details of dressmaking will be
taught under the direct supervision of
an expert and professional instructor of
wide experience. This opens an oppor-
tunity both for those planning to enter
the profession as a business and to the
novice and amateur who wish to add
this useful art to their other accomplish
ments. Mme. Lorraine's French tailor
system will be taught and moderate
rates charged for instruction. Those
wishing to take lessons ON their own
goods, or to take in orders at the school
for customers, will be accorded the con-
cession, thus placing lessons within the
reach OF all. The school occupies rooms
in the Potomac block. the reception
room being No. 81. All should take an
interest in this undertaking and assure
its success.

of them interfere 10 the actual manage
ment OF affairs. They know that while
the Rockefellers are in the saddle there
is no need for any one else TO interfere
In the Management OF the Standard Oil
interests.
Both these men are hard workers.
They we're brought up 20 work for a
living and TO work hard. and they
have not got over the habit. None OF
their clerks work more hours than they
do, and yet il you should see either OF
them at his desk, even az his busiest
time, you would DO led to think that
they do very little. They have that
rare quality, the ability TO get through
a great deal Of work without making
anv noise or fuss about it. 1t is a quail
ity that may not be overvalued.
These men almost always work eight
hours a day, and sometimes more. Not
q detail Of their vast business is over
looked. They know its every twist and
turn. Their army OF employees OF
course they cannot know, but they
know their division commanders, and
are fully posted as TO every move.
No one knows what the politics OF
the Rockefellers is. Jay Gould used
to say be was a Republican or a Demo-
r Just as his railroad interests die
tated. Some OF the colleagues are Dem
ocrats of National fame, such as VIII
liam C. Whitney, aud some ere Repub-
licans. But the Rockefellers seem 10
have no politics. The Standard OIL
Company is their politics, and that IL is
OF the profitable sort no one will deny.
The Rockefellers are as quiet in their
tastes as 10 their dress and business
methods. Neither they nor any OF tteir
respective families appear 10 take any
special interest 10 society, although
they would be cordially enough re-
ceived should they desire TO enter the
swim. Wm. c.. Whitney's connection
with them would be a sufficient pass
port. But they do not care for society.
The early part Of their lives was spent
In other than social pursuits and now
when they have money and leisure
they do not care for the glare Of
crowded receptions. The daughter
OF John D. Rockefeller was
married some years ago, bot
she has not figured in New York's So
cial world and probably has not cared
to. Mrs. John d. Rockefeller now and
then appears at some public function
that she cannot well overlook since her
intimate friends are connected and
when she does she can, II she wishes,
outshine every other woman present
so far as jewels are concerned, for her
collection is said to be second only "a
the famous Astor jewels that are the
wonder and envy Of the fair sex. But as
q matter Of fact, the Rockefeller:
cut no figure in society. You may
see them now and then at the theatre,
scarcely eYer at the opera, and wheI
shey do appear in public in this way,
only a few persons know them. The
Oil Kings keep horses and carriages al
a matter Of course, but it is for thell
women folks, bot themselves. As ha:
been said, John d. Rockefeller is a tire
less pedestrian, as many Of New York
business men have latterly become. II
addition to walking TO his Office each
morning he takes q tramp In Cen

into money.

As the two men enter the building they
are greeted by the big guard a. the
door, They pass quickly to their Offices
on the second floor, and each goes to
his desk and to work.
One might think that the heads OF so
great a corporation would be over
whelmeu with work and would need to
have about them a horde OF clerks re-
caiving instructions, rushing to and fro.
making a fuss generally. Nothing OF
the kind is to be seen in the Offices OF
the Rockefellers. A host OF letters are
received every hour addressed to one or
the other of the two brothers. A trusted
assistant handles this mail and shows
his chiefs only such as 1t is really nee
essary for them to see. The system
maintained is perfect even to the small
est detail aud the discipline OF the great
establishment is remarkable.
In the rooms Of the brothers are
telegraph tickers, and near their re-
spective desks are swift fingered steno-
graphers aud tvpewriters. The rooms
OF the two brothers are near together
and now and then they hold short con-
situations.
As they go to their desks in the
morning they find awaiting them a
small pile OF mail, a very small part OF
all that came into the hands OF their
secretaries. The letters are read and In
many cases a note Of instruction is die
tated to some head Of a department and
the letter and instructions are sent to
him. There are scores Of we'll paid en-
ployes of the Rockefellers who have
never held any communication with
their chiefs save through the medium
Of these typewriter messages.
Out OF an the letters received every
day by John D. Rockefeller be probably
answers not more than a score himself:
Letters may come detailing the loss OF
a Standard Oil Steamship Ia the China
Sea. 1t is sent along to the proper de-
partment; and so it is with 3 hundred

There is no hustle or hurry and less

There are no two men in this country
whom 1t is more hard TO see than these
Standard Oil Kings. There are scores
of their employees who have neve seen
them IN their Offices. There are many
others who would not know them II

acumeu OF the highest sort was needed
10 order that they might hold their

of desperate men. Bot the Rookie Teller
had the requisite nerve, and Ia the end
they won. They are called "monopo-

SHE STUMPED WITH JERRY.

Mrs. Jerry Simpson, the wife Of the
socklesS Socrates OF Medicine Lodge,
has been a s%emi-iuyalid during the
greater part OF her husbands Congress

Before that, however, she was very
active Ia his campaigns. She secured

her eccentric husband that she would
often ride with hin az the head or a

MED him on a ten days trip when the

sons modest home there hangs a pic

reason why some men do not pay their
