 Miss Alexander. who is handsome and brilliant young girl made her de- but two years ago. She is the. grand daughter of Mrs. Henry M. Alexander. who was Miss Susan M. Brown, and niece of Charles B. Alexander of this city, of Mrs. John J. McCook. and of the Rev. Maitland Alexander of AL legheny, Penn. Her mother was Miss Grace Green, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Albert Green of Ohio, Mrs. Alex ander obtained a divorce from MT. Alexander some years ago.
 Miss Alexander is also 8 grand daughter of the late Theron R. Butler. She is highly educated and is a general favorite in society She has been ac- quainted with her fiance from child hood up, but neither will admit how long the enga cement has existed. Theodore Roosevelt, IT,, is the eldest child of the ex-President by his sec- Ond wife. who was Miss Edith Carow, and a half brother of Mrs. Nicholas Lon gWorth. Miss Ethel Roosevelt and Kermit Archibald and Quentin Roose- welt are younger. children of the ex- President. Theod ore, IT,, has long been in the public eye. Graduating from Groton school in 1905, he entered Harvard University in the Fall of that year and immediately attained promi- hence. His father being then President was apparently of no importance to the young man. who earned the re-
 puta tion of being one of the most modest men in college.
 Early in 1908, before being graduated MT. Roosevelt. terminated his college work. and in the Autumn following started life as a wage earner in a car get mill at Thompsonville, Conn. He was employed with the Hartford Car pet Corporation there but his identity for some time was kept a secret, ow- ing to his dislike of notoriety.
 Tn order to divert himself for while from the carpet trade, he took up the study of aeronautics and be- came a member of the Aero Club of America. He had had a narrow es- cape in an army balloon year be- fore. Two Decenbers ago Mir. Roose- welt wss made aide de camp on his staff, with the rank of Major, by Gov. Lilley of Connecticut, MT. and Mrs Lilley having been intimate friends of Admiral and Mrs. William Sheffield Cowles of Pennington, the latter Col. ROoSevelt'S sister

 MT. Vanderbilt is one of the largest Individual subscribers to the general endowment fund. and in other ways has shown keen interest in the well fare of his alma mater. He was grad uated with the class of 1899.
 With his latest gift, Yale has been benefited to the extent of nearly $3,- coo 0C0 by the members of the Wander bilt family. Tn the last five years Frederick w. Vanderbilt gave two dor mitories to the Sheffield Scientific school, the aggregate cost being ST., 300 900 and the Sheffield dormitory sys- tenn YVES thereby esta blished. In mem cry of William H.

vEILED THREATS.
 .s BY THE INTERESTS?

Is sit a fact, as reported, that the recent slump In Wall Street prices was the result of manipulation-that the sfntsrests" purposely withdrew their supr5ort from the market as warning to President Taft and the Supreme court of what would occur if he should rusff anti-corporate measures too wig orously or if the Supreme court should render decisions adverse to the Stan dard Oil and Tobacco trusts in the pending cases?- In other words. was the slump intended to be construed as . threat to knock the bottom out'' of general business and to initiate such a panic as commenced in October, sso7?
 1t has come to be quite generally be- sieved that the money panic" of 1907 was. artificial. that the money kings withheld supplies from the market, and Rthat the purpose was to kill all possible chance of the renomination of President Roosevelt and to secure the nomination of a "conservative' who would foster the interests" and the trusts and enable them to continue the process of enriching themselves and tmpoyerishing the people.
 T1se 'sinterests'' now appear to fear that President Taft will be less 'con- seryative' than the amounts of their contributions to his party's campaign fund demand. and that the Supreme court will be less considerate of their feelings and purses than is, in their opinion. their legitimate due. Hence such delicate intimations of their power over business affairs as ap- peared in the recent Wall Street slump. 7
 Do the interests possess the power of precipitating another money ranic"? Undoubtedly. they do. In fact, they are better equipped in money potency than they were in 1907 With his lengthy string of railroads, industrial trusts. banks and trust and insurance companies. J. Pierpont Nor gan can easily work his will in the money market. and if the Aldrich scheme of great central bank is of Morgan inspiration, his future money power will be even greater than at present.
 In fact. many close observers are beginning to doubt whether the peo- pie still rule this country.

Ex-Senator Spooner of Wisconsin, does. not approve the Federal incor- poration act proposed by President Taft. Hesays:
 Under our constitution, Congress cannot establish corporations except for the District of Columbia. I can not sentertain the proposition lately adraf1ced in all seriousness that it is .awful under our constitution to adopt federal incorporation act. It is a new theory that Congress may create corporations that can enter a state to do business whether the state wants them or not. Some of the big fellows hail this proposal with delight.

CARE OF GOLDFISH
AN EASY TASK
Little Pets Need Plenty of Air and
Tanks Be Refilled
Frequently.

No nursery should be without SIS

bright colors and darting fight through

Goldfish require little care, but II is
most important that the water in which
they are kept contains plenty OF air
When the little fish stay near the
surface and constantly poke their noses
out of the water the tank should be
refilled Immediately Enough air may
be introduced for a few hours if the
water Is stirred briskly round and
round with a stick, so that air bub-
bles penetrate 70 the bottom.
in adding more water, the tempera-
ture in the tank should be taken with
a bath thermometer and the fresh
water heated TO the same degree before
being poured in
