NEW YORK, August 14.-It became
the opinion of some Fifth avenue
modistes today that Miss Madeline
Force, the young fiancee of Colonel
John Jacob Astor, is to be economical
in the arrangements for her wedding
trousseal.
1t was learned on the avenue that
she and Colonel Aston drove in a
taxicab to five shops this afternoon,
where the young woman made it plain
that $1,000 would be the limit of ex-
penditure for her wedding fnery.
In contrast to the $4,000 which a
recent society girl is said TO have
spent on her trousseau, including
$4,000 for single gown, 1t was said
that Miss Force objected TO a $3.50
creation which one modiste showed
her today, and found one at another
shop for 800, It pleased her just as
well.

Minnesota has Lumberman Whose
Riches Make Rockefeller's Income
Look Like u Preachers SALARY

ST Paul. Mimi. Feb. 25.-Although
Frederick Weyernauser. the billionaire
lumberman who !s reported critically
i'll at Pasadena, Cal. mas made his
home in ST Paul for many years he is
almost as little known TO the people
Of this city a. TO the public in general
And this despite the fact that ne is be-
lieyed to be the richest man in the
United States, richer probably by some
millions Of dollars than John D Rookie
feller. whose name is synonymous for
riches in almost every part OF the civ
ilized world Weyerhauser. with his
timber land possessions aggregating
3O,O00.O00 acres. is said to be worth
close 10 sI.25O.O0O.0O0. which al the
present rate OF advance in lumber is
increasing b. leaps and bounds.
The personality OF Frederick Weyer-
hauser is little known. He is a recluse
and his own business associates have
never shared his secrets. His home life
in this city i quiet and simple Even
TO those who know him best he is a
living puzzle. an enigma. a mystery.
Born at Neidersaulheim, a hamlet of
southern Germany. in 1894. he worked
as a farm laborer until his eighteenth
year, when he made up his mind TO
seek his fortune in a land where free
dom played more prominent part
than it did in south Germany at that
time So in 1852, accompanied by his
mother and sisters. he crossed the
ocean. Working in Sawmil at Rock
Island. Ill. for 81 day. he soon &C
quired the sawmill. Since then his
wealth has steadily stacked until now.
so far as any record goes. he is the
richest man in the world.
