OIL KING CUTS.
: S2-|N EXPENSE
John D. Rockefeller, Feeling
Need of Retrenchment,
Chops Salaries.

NEW YORK, Aug. John D.
Rockefeller Is cutting down his ex-
penses.
Recent benefactions have left g. big
hole in his bank account. and the oil
magnate has adopted policy OF re-
trenchment to recoup
Like most good business men wien
they realize that they are living dan
gerously close tc their income. Mr..
Rockefeller has begun to cut down his
luxuries. The first of Mr.. Rockefeller 8
luxuries to fall afoul Of his new policy
of economy is his Lakewood estate.
Notice has been served on the super
lntendent of the estate that his SER
vices will not be required after July
81 and all employees have been inform
ed Of a reduction in wages. The re-
duction will be from 10 to 20 per cent.
The superintendent helpers, who
have been paid $3.50 a day, will have
to be content with $1.25 hereafter. AS
there are five of these men employed
on the golf links and grounds, Mr..
Rockefeller will accomplish a saving
Of $1!25 a. day. This, In addition to
the salary reductions among the rest
of the force, will cut as much as 81 a
day out of Mr.. Rockefeller's salary
list. This will help to restore Mr.
FOChoIeller 8 income 10 us normal l1&-
ure of 100000 day.
| A big saving will be made by the dis
charge Of the superintendent He was
paid 500 month and was an expen-
sive flgurehead. Mr.. Rockefeller evil
! IDENTIFY thinks, as he intends In future
to direct personally the care Of his
| Lakewood estate.
Whether Mr.. Rockefeller's new policy
of retrenchment has been applied tc
his other estates has not been learned
but the selection of the Lakewood
estate for an experiment in economy
shows how sadly Mr. Rockefeller may
be pinched.
Unlike his other estates, the Lake
wood place was not built by Mr.. Rookie
feller's own money. He got it for a
1.-THE of it's real value. The property
was formerly the Country Club, which
was built by George Gould. The golf
links and the clubhouse were, planned
by George Gould with an eye to pleas
ure and comfort, not to cost. When
Mr.. Gould got the polo fever and gave
up golf a new clubhouse and grounds
were built by him at Lake Carasalto
and the Country Club was on the mar
ket.
After bargaining for year or two,
Mr.. Rockefeller acquired the property
for $4,000, or something less than one
sixth of what had been put into the
place by Mr.. Gould and his associates

AMERICAN MADE RUGS,
As Durable and ArtisticalIy CoIored as
the Oriental Kind.

From the Architectural Record:
The beautiful two and three toned
rugs, in which the center field is plain
with darker borders, are particularly
suitable to modern schemes. of fur
nishing, which f1ttingly express the ar
chitectural meaning Of rooms designed
by leading architects and decorators.
Rugs such as these add to the appar-
ent size of the ROOM They are woven
entirely in one piece, and Of: any size
or shape that the dimensions and
character of room may require, and
in any thickness up 10 an inch, in
various qualities.
The dyes employed are wholly vege-
table and fascinatingly soft and beau
tiful in tone. The dim old shades of
the veritable antiques are secured
without subjecting the rug to the
heroic treatment which is said to be
the lot of many of the imported ones.
1t Is interesting to note that as the
standards Of taste advance, as they
are certainly advancing with respect
to house decoration and furnishing in
the United States, architects are more
and more taking over the interior
equipment of the rooms designed by
them.
In these rugs, made right here in
our own country. can be found almost
anything which the architect may
need. To be able to order it direct
from domestic looms in the required
design means a saving both in time
and money.
For many years these rugs have
been in use, standing the test of time
satisfactorily, and undoubtedly the de-.
mand for them will grow, as people
learn that those of American manufac-
tIre may be as durable and artistic
as the ones made in India, China, Per-
STA or Turkey.

INJURIES PROVED FATAL.
Parachute Janpsr Died at the WstsF.
 bury 6espital.

William D. Hayden lies dead at Mul. yille's mOrgue and his remains are awaiting the arrival of relatives who have been telegraphed for. The cause of Hayden's death was surrounded by peculiar circumstances He was known as professional balloon ascensioDist and parachute jumper and ill many places had performed daring feats and was noted as one of the most seIsa- tiOnal aerOnauts in the business. On several other occasions he had escaped serious injury only by great good luck, but he had intimated to many that he would some day meet his doom. Only last week he told in a public cafe that he expected to be killed, but he would have no one to blame but himself if his death came through lack of prepar- alton in the details of his work.
 Hayden had been engaged to give balloon ascensiOns and parachute jumps at Lakewood park and Satur- day afternoon he began his prepara- tiOns for his ascent. As the time ap- preached he appeared to be nervous and unstrung and he said to his part her. Thorn Grant, that he felt some premonition of disaster. Two young lads, George Rose and Charles NJ.
 Mafee, had been engaged by Hayden to look after the balloon when 1t de- scended
 As the balloon began to rise he said to one of the boys, Peanuts"
 goodbye. I'm going up now to break
 my neck" He foretold his fate exact ly although be made the ascension
 and descent successfully. When thousands of feet in the air he cut him. self and the parachute away and then began graceful descent The wind carried him toward a large chestnut tree and he saw that his parachute would become entangled in the branch
 es This is just what happened, al- though he landed himself safe and sound on terra firma. He climbed the tree to rescue the parachute and while high up among the branches he missed his footing and fell, striking on his head on the rocks below. There he was found by the two lads Rose and
 Mafee. He was unconscious and was taken immediately to the hospital. Here he fingered until this noon when he died. Dr Crane, the medical ex aminer made an examination and found that Hayden's neck had been broken and that he spoke truthfully
 when he said he was going up to
 break his neck.
 Hayden came here from Lewiston,
 Maine, but his home was in Haverhill,
 Mass. He also had relatives in New
 York. He was twenty-six years of age and was formerly associated with Mabel Lamont of Derby. both of whom
 made some sensational ascensions.

WHAT'S THE REMEDY !
q nsss Cats and Dsts bs Allowed
 Fall Swinf.

|. The cat and the dog appear to be getting the upper hand of man in the courts and if they keep on the human family will soon be playing second fiddle to members of the brute ere atlon. An item in Saturdays Demo- crat told of the fining of prominent citizen in another town for shooting feline that made practice of tear Ing up his garden, and not long since citizens were fined for shooting dogs that persisted in cutting up all kinds of capers in private property. These things show that the day has passed when dog or cat can be shot for disturbing the herbage on private grounds" as an eminent jurist once decided, without the man who handled the gun running the risk of getting ill., to trouble.
 If this be law why of course it is all right, but doesn't 1t put owners of property at a great disadvantage and give dogs and cats rights which they never should enjoy. What is man going to do with a dog that persists in worrying his cattle, tearing up his flower garden and doing other kinds of mischief about his premises? How is he going to cope with a cat that robs him of his chickens, kills his singing birds. paws up his garden, gets into his dairy, and worse still, sits on the back veranda and keeps himself and his family awake all night: One may say the aggrieved person has rights in law, but even so how is he going to prove ownership! Few people know one cat from anoth- CT. and dogs don't commit all their depredations near home, so that there does not seem to be anything left for citizens who feel aggrieved and who do not know the owners of their tor mentors but bring out the shotgun, that is provided the stone or stick of wood fails to do the work. Dogs and cats have rights which everybody should respect. but there ought to be limit to what people should be ex- pected to put up with from them, and notwithstanding recent decisions on such questions some very well inform ed citizens think there is, and claim that you don't have to go to the courts to get redress from dogs and cats that make q practice of bothering you on the street or elsewhere, that is pro vided you do not know to whom the imps belong. Wouldn't 1t be a nice how-do-you-do when vicious dog comes into your yard or attacks you on the streets if you "dassent" drive 1t away even though you might find it necessary to use little powder. Why, a man has right to use such force as is necessary to eject neighbor from his property. but 1t seems he is denied that right when he runs afoul of ferocious dog or pet Maltese cat. What are we coming to. anyway?
