OIL KING’S DEMOCRATIC SPIRIT
AMAZES HIS fELLOW PASSENGERS
Claps His Hands With
Delight When Vessel
Outstrips Another.
By WILLIAM H08TER,
Stiff Correspondent on Board the
Steamer Deutschland.
By Wireless Telegraph.
On Board Steamship Deutachland, at
Be a, 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
serted promenade deck. With power
ful (Isaacs, he scanned the horlson.
"Are we still leading 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
taken to the engine room. He, how
ever, waved aside a courteous assis
tant engineer, who started to describe
the working of the machinery.
"This Is not my first sea trip,!’ he
said. "I was told all these things be-
fore."
He Amsies Passengers.
Mr. Rockefeller, accompanied at dif
ferent times by various members of
his party, and always by his secretary,
spent a busy first day at sea, sight
seeing aboard the giant steamship.
His amaxement 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 hod 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.
Rockefeller and Mbs Spellman, her
sister. Dr. Blggar added hb disap
proval abo, when Mr. Rockefeller de
clared his Intention to alt up on deck
and watch the race. After some dis
cussion. a compromise was reached,
Mr. Rockefeller consenting to envelop
himself In an overcoat.
Claps Hands in Delight.
When the Deutschland had over
taken LaProvence, he clapped hb
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
Mbs Helen Gould, of New York, was
a passenger on the Deutachland. The
fact seemed to Interest him, particu
larly when he learned that Mbs Oould
had booked her passage under an as
sumed name. It Is the consensus of
opinion that she la en rouja to Paris
to bring back to America her stater,
Anna, the Countess DeCaatellane.
Mbs Oould la uncommunicative to the
few persons with whom she has con
versed, and can not be approached for
purposes of an Interview.
He Pralsts Chute.
Some good-natured discussion arose
at dinner bat evening, when Mr.
Rockefeller ordered cheese. In re
sponse to a fellow-passenger’s ques
tion, he reiterated hb frequently ex
pressed views ss to the health-giving
qualities of this, hb favorite article
of diet. He Is as loyal to cheese on
sea as on land.
It was evident this morning, when
Mr. Rockefeller made hb customary
early appearance on deck, that the
voyage la proving beneficial to him.
There Is a healthy color In his cheeks,
and a sparkle In hb eyes, telling more
eloquently than words that he la not a
sick man. and b enjoying every minute
of the trip.
Muts Pupils Pass Through.
The more than one hundred pupils of
the Georgia School for the Deaf passed
through Atlanta Friday en route to
their homes They attracted much at
tention by their fine appearance and
soldierly bearing. They took various
trains from thb city to their homes.

AT THE THEATERS
At the Casino Next Week.
Vaudeville, In a new and delightful
fashion, 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 acta have yet made for this class
of entertainment.
The feature of the bill will be the
military octet and the Olrl Behind the
Baton. There Is no doubt but that thin
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-close vaudeville
housee of the new Kelth-Proctor com
bination. A great deal of eeenery Is
carried by the combination, and It le
believed the novelty will be one of
the features of the Casino sasson.
Another novelty will be the contribu
tion of the famous European artist.
Asm, who hss but lately come to
America. This man Is a Juggler who
departs from the old routine, and he
will Interest people who admire clev-
emeee.
The Herald Square quartet. In a se
ries of comedy Ideas; Lewis and Green,
comedians whd know how to be fun
ny, and the Demuths, 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.
