MRS. R0OSEvELTS UNIQUE GOWN
The Shade Will be- Called "AIice Blue
Strangely Enough for Inauguration

New YORK, Feb. 2Oth.-Material for
Mrs. Roosevelt's Inauguration gown is
being woven at silk mill in Paterson.
1t is of an entirely new design and new
shade. Mrs. Roosevelt suggested the de-
sign, and the shade will be known as
Alice blue, in honor of the Presidents
daughter, who selected it from material
she saw at the ST. Louis fair.
While admiring the new shade, which
comes near to an electric blue, Mrs.
Roosevelt conceived the idea that if
doves were woven into the goods it
would make handsome gown for inaug-
uration reception. When the design was
completed, according to her ideas, it
represented flock of doves flying dag
onally across the blue background.
The largest dove is a little less than
two inches from the tip of one wing to
the tip of the other They decrease in
size until the smallest is very minute.
The doves are woven in gold tinsel and
in such manner that, as the goods are
held up to the light and slowly turned,
and doves seem to sink into the back
ground and slowly disappear. The work
of weaving the goods was begun three
weeks ago.

tracks atThrd street and Railroad Avenue
Monday night and died at the Delaware
Hospital about o'clock Tuesday morn
ing. 1t is presumed that Conner, who
was employed at the railroad shops at
Todd's Cut, was going to work and was
struck by train at Third street cross ng.
The discovery was made by the crew of
the annex workman's train, and the
police being notified, the Phoenix ambu-
lance was summoned. After being ad-
mitted to the hospital Conner's skull
was trephined, but he failed to rally.

THE WORLDS FIRST BILLIONAIRE
John D. Rockefeller Now Has an in.
come of $4,000, 600 a Month

The New York Commercial is a conser-
vatlve financial journal. 1t has been its
tendency to under estimate rather than to
exaggerate. And that paper states that
In few years the fortune OF John D.
Rockefeller will be fully one billion dol.
lars, and that the oil kings present in
come is S5,000,00 month.
As far as the actual possession of money
is concerned, the public is not harmed.
The gold is not locked up. 1t has not
been buried. The dollars are in circula-
ton and passing through the hands of the
butcher. the baker and manufacturer.
And MIR. Rockefeller cannot eat them
nor wear them; or ward off disease and
old age with them. As far. as he is per-
sonally concerned and beyond the million
or two that he spends annually in gratify-
ing hobbies and in actual living expenses,
these dollars might as well be so much
old junk for all the real good they do
him.
But they do represent power
They do make it possible for one man
to say who shall work and who shall
starve, and who shall engage in business
and who shall not be allowed TO compete
in the markets Of theword They make.
1t possible to control legislation as well as
the finances of the country. By centra-
llzlng industry and hogging opportunity
theyforce an increase in the number of
those who must work for wages and de-
crease the number of those who emil ark in
business for themselves.
There are wise men in this country who
see in this coming Millionaire and what
he represents greater danger than
America has ever known before and who
believe that it can only be curbed by one
OF two. methods Legislation, rigidly en-
forced, or revolution.
The last must not be.
And while the world awaits the peace
full solution of this great problem the for
tune that is too great for the human mind
to comprehend is growing.-Des Moines
