ROCKEFELLER IS
A SPEND THRIFT
Giving Away Pennies and NickIes to
Children on the Golf
Links.

CHICAGO, July 11.-EXtra! John
D. Rockefeller is branded as spend
thrift. The kerosene king Is the very
thing he has denounced by word and
action for years. While walking about
his estate at Pocantico Hills yester-
day, Rockefeller is alleged to have
given several children Of his en-
ployes six cents, each saying there
is a penny to spend and nickel to
save"
The American Society for Thrift
threw up its metaphorical hands in
horror and tonight sent letter to
Rockefeller verbally chastising him
for treason and telling him not to do
it any more.
This society declares for the hap
piness there is in thrift, but not the
thrift of CONSTRUCTED kind which stops
at saving pennies" states the letter.
1--WE believe the example of giving
a nickel to be saved is less useful to
the child than giving him an opportun'

DETROIT, MICH.

In that city, is a large and success
full public utility corporation which
generates and sells electric current
for light and power. 1t Is said that
electricity may be bought cheaper
there than in any city Of its size in
the United States. This is a good
thing for the city, as cheap power is
a magnet of remarkable pull, which
draws manufacturers large and small,
In droves.
The Edison Company, who furnish
this current, is guided by an able and
far-seeing management, who have
placed it in commanding position.
Such a concern cannot afford to take
chances on a long continued smut
down OF its machinery, and it is COM
PEELED to carry number of spare
parts to replace those that become
broken or worn out.
When automobile equipment was in
stalled, this management naturally
selected the Ford as the standard for
certain kinds of work. Out Of 10s
cars OF all descriptions, including
trucks, owned by This corporation. 43
are Fords, twelve of them purchased
since the first Of the year.
The practical character Of these
standard cars has commanded their
choice, by this great company for
much Of their work.

We are now getting ready for the
harvest of one OF the largest grape

baskets will soon be begun and other
things got in readiness. A few rains
from now on until the latter part Of
August is what the crop needs. Last

Sunday, the 18th Of May, 1856, will

day. Early in the morning parties Of
armed men were seen in every direc-
ton, each marching to their distinct
rendezvous, appointed by the Vigi-
lance Committee. At ten o'clock the
crowd had accumulated in such num-
bers that passage in some parts of
Sacramento and Sansome streets was
absolutely impossible. At eleven
o'clock, everything being in readi-
ness, the Committee commenced
forming in the streets, and soon after
began their march. Each company
was in excellent drill, and their evolu-
lions showed plainly that their two
days drill under the most compe-
tent military leaders, had prepared
them to meet any emergency. At a
quarter past eleven o'clock the march
commenced. the main body Of the
