HOW ]. D. FOUND JOB.
ROCKEFELLER TO OBSERVE THE
UNIQUE EVENT SEPT. 25.
Oil Magnate Did Fifty-Four Years Ago
Nearly Wear Out the Pavements o.
Cleveland in His Search for Work;
An Airship Show Is the Next
Thing in New York; News Notes
From the Metropolis.

| New York, Sept. lS-That distin-
guished fellow citizen. John ID. Rookie
Teller, is preparing for celebration
, all his own next Saturday. That day
will make the beginning of the Hud
son Fulton celebration, but it is moth
f, ing so insignificant as the discovery
of river or the principles of steam
navigation that John will observe.
Next Saturday, Sept. 25, in the
Rockefeller calendar, is Job Day
1t is the anniversary fiftyfourtl
anniversary, to be exact-of Johns
discovery of his first job.
From all accounts, his first expert
ences in the world of business were
little different from those of the aver
age boy According to his tale. he
nearly wore out the pavements in the
business district of Cleveland and the
patience of those to whom he persist
emily applied before he landed the
coveted job.
The oil king also supplies moral
to his tale: Boys should not be
discouraged if the job is hard to get. y
Now, isn't that just too original and
interesting for anything.
An Airship Show.
Miss Diana, the sprightly young
woman who presides over Madison
Square Garden, is to open up her
house of entertainment and instruc-
ton next Saturday with something
brand new to her experience. 1t is to
be an airship show-the First Ma
tional Aeronautic exposition in its Of
fetal title-and all the leading avi-
lators of the world are expected to be
here with all varieties of airships,
from light runabouts to the heavy
express trucks of the sky.
The aviators who will compete in
the Hudson Fulton aerial competition
will have their headquarters in the
Garden, where everything connected
with flying will be shown in originals
or models. The Curtiss aeroplane will
be on exhibition with the interna-
tional cup won by Curtiss at Rheims.
There will be exhibits of biplanes,
monoplanes, dirgibe balloons, kites,
gliders, windwagons and motors.
The management is negotiating with
leading aeronauts who will be here to
take part in the Hudson Fulton races
This will be the first exposition of the
kind in the world, and it is hoped to
make it brilliant forerunner on the
international Aeronautic Exposition
planned for the Garden next May. No
charge will be made for exhibition
space at this show.
A huge captive balloon will be an
shored above Madison Square Garden
for persons who wish bird's-eye
view of Greater New York.
Money Making Machine.
Samuel Silver and David Brown are
clever inventors of our town. just
now they are engaged in inventing a
plan for evading prison, which stares
them in the face as the result of their
! invention of machine to manufac.
ture money. They will be examined
next week, when they will have All
opportunity to explain their inven.
tions to the court. 1t was like this:
Henry Berkowitz, of No "a Greene
street, Manhattan, is Spectator as
well as tailor Two men came to
his shop several days ago with ma.
chine with red and green electric lights
that looked like cash register, and
before his very eyes it turned out
beautiful, new S. bills with every turn
of the crank When the machine was
offered to him for $l,l00 he bought it
But it wouldn't work after they wen,
away.
| He found the men on Wednesday
| night and made a deal with them to
sell another such machine to his
| brother in-law, Abraham Goodman, at
No. 29S Rutland road, Brooklyn. When
they appeared at that address the
tailor had two detectives from the
Flatbush precinct there, who placed
the men under arrest. They were

street, and David Brown, of No. l35

Bergen County Fair.
The great agricultural population OF
New York will turn out in force at
the Bergen county fair, which was
opened today just across the river
from West 13Oth street. For all prac
teal purposes the fair, with it's prize
pumpkins and fat swine and huskine
bees and other rural adjuncts, is right
in our midst, being reached by shol,
ferry ride.
| The first annual Bergen County fail
offers inducements to the farmers OF
Manhattan such as they have not
heard of for many years. Until thi;
fall New Workers have had little
chance of exhibiting their products q
the soil, for most county fairs have
been held at too great distance from
Broadway. Now, however, the ingen
ious resident of Harlem whose pride
and Joy is to produce prize pumpkins
on the window sill of his fiat vii
have opportunity of showing to Others
what he can do. Likewise those per
sons who breed blue ribbon kline il
their back yards and Plymouth Rocl
fowl on their roofs will be able to get
really into the breeding game. Alst
