OIL KING’S DEMOCRATIC SPIRIT

Claps His Hands With

On Board Steamahlp Deutschland, at
Bea, June 2, via Babylon. L. I., June 2.
-John D. Rockefeller arose early to
day, and. after a bath, rub down and
a cup of coffee, hastened to the de-
"erted promenade deck. With power
ful glaiu,, he scanned the horlion.
"Are we still lending the Provence?"
he asked, entering democratically Into
a conversation with a seaman. The
assurance that the French liner re
mained far astern pleased him mighti
ly. The race has been a matter of
unconcealed Interest to him.
Mr. Rockefeller Insisted upon being
>aken to the engine room. He, how
ever, waved aside a courteous aaala-
>ant engineer, who started to describe
the working of the machinery-
"This Is not my first sea trip,” he
»ald. "f was told all these things be
fore.”
He Amszes Passengers.
Mr. Rockefeller, accompanied at dif
ferent times by various members of
hl» party, and always by Ms secretary,
spent a busy first day at sea. sight
seeing aboard the giant steamship.
His amazement and delight were al
most childlike. He was like a school
hoy on the first day of a long-await
ed vacation.
Passengers were amazed by his ge
niality. They did not expect that a
man who had amassed a billion dol
lars by the hardest and sharpest of
business practice would prove, on ac
quaintance, so unaffected and ingen
uous. He sat up late Thursday night,
disregarding the protests of Mrs.
Bockefellsr snd' Miss Spellman, her
sister. Dr. Blggar added his dlsap-
clared his Intention to sit up on deck
and watch the race. After some dis
cussion, a compromise was reached,
Mr. Rockefeller consenting to envelop
himself In an overcoat.
Clapa Hands in Dalight.
When the Deutschland had over
taken LaProvence, he clapped his
hands and laughed aloud. Then he
retired. He probably was the earliest
passenger on deck Friday morning.
Dawn scarcely had broken when he
arose.
Mr. Rockefeller was Informed that
Miss Helen Oould, of New York, was
a passenger on the Deutschland. Ths
fact seemed to Interest him. particu
larly when he learned that Miss (}ould
had booked her passage under an as
sumed name. It Is the consensus of
opinion that she Is en route to Paris
to bring back to America her sister,
Anna, the Countess DeCasteltane.
Miss Oould Is uncommunlcatlv# to the
few persons with whom she has con
versed, and can not be approached for
purposes of an Interview.
He Praises Chtsse.
Some good-natured discussion arose
at dinner last evening, when Mr.
Rockefeller ordered cheese. In re
sponse to « fellow-passenger's ques
tion, he reiterated his frequently ex
pressed views as to the health-giving
qualities of this, his favorite article
of diet. He la as loyal to cheese on
sea as on land.
It was evident this morning, when
Mr. Rockefeller made his customary
early appearance on deck, that the
voyage Is proving beneficial to him.
There Is a healthy color In his cheeks,
and a sparkle In his eyes, telling more
eloquently than words that he Is not a
sick man. and Is enjoying every minute
of the trip.
At the Casino Nsxt Wsek.
Vaudeville, In a new and delightful
faxhlon, will be the offering at the Ca
sino next week.
The class of vaudeville offered since
the opening of the season has been
satisfactory. It is said the bill for
next week will eclipse any Impression
the acts have yet made for this class
of entertainment.
The feature of the bill will be the
military octet nnd the Oirl Behind the
Baton. There Is no doubt but that this
number Is really one of the big specta
cle features of vaudeville. There are
twelve people In the number. They
are musicians, vocalists and novelty
entertainers. The act will be offered
In three scenes, showing the camps
of all nations, and permitting special
ties by several of the members. This
act Is booked for a solid year, and
later will appear for return engage
ments In the high-class vaudeville
houses of the new Kelth-Proctor com
bination A great deal of scenery Is
carried by the combination, and It Is
believed the novelty will be one of
tne features of the Casino season.
Another novelty will be the v^ntrlbu-
■ tlon of the famous European artist,
i Axra. who has but lately come to
; America. This inan Is a Juggler who
departs from the old routine, and he
will Interest people who admire clev-
i emess.
The Herald Square quartet. In.a se-
rles of comedy Ideas; Lewis and Oreen,
comedians who know how to be fun
ny, and the Demutha. whirlwind dan
cers, with the Cameragraph with new
pictures make up the bill.
There will be performance, all week.
In accordance with the usual sched
ule.
