John D. Rockefeller, wife of the richest
man In the world, died suddenly today
In her 76th year at the Rockefeller
rountry home in Pocantlco Hills. She
had been an invalid for a year, but
during the last few montns ner ntaam
had so Improved that the rapid turn
for the worse which her illness took
early today was not expected by her
family.
For this reason It happened that the
only relative at her bedside when she
died at li):20 A. M. was her aister. Miss
Lucy M. i-pelman.

Her husband and her son. John V.

Mrs. Rockefeller was growing better.

In her condition, they left at once for
Jacksonville, where arrangements were
quickly made for a special train to
bring them to New York. They were
expected to arrive here some time to
morrow night.
Mrs. E. I'armalee Prentice, one or
Mrs. Rockefeller's two daughters, was
summoned from New York, but failed
to arrive before her mother died. The
other daughter. Mrs. Harold Fowler

funeral arrangements will be held in
abeyance, but it was thought at the
Rockefeller house today that burial un
doubtedly would take plare in Cleve

is situated. It was thought probable
that funeral services would be held at
Pocantico Hills on Sunday and the body
at once taken to Cleveland.
Mrs. Rockefeller's illness dates back
to the Fall of 1912. when she was
stricken with pneumonia. She virtually
recovered from this at Hot Springs. Va.,
but on returning to Cleveland In June,
1913, Bhe again became ill. due largely
to her weakened condition and advanced
years. She remained in Cleveland until I II J J

Her rooms in the greaf4L.rr antico Hills

balcony, and here on fair days she spent
many hours in the open air. She was

"I know a great one, too," spoke up
Clark Williams.
"But I've got a big one up my
sleeve," insisted "Charlie" Myers.
They got together. The common se
cret was Airs. K. M. Hogan, the hit of
two other "jinks," the success of a
week's show at the Orpheum and the
delight of the Press Club men.
Someone hustled to a telephone.
Yes, Mrs. Hogan would consent to
tell tales, sing "Tipperary" and all
those other songs. ,
Miss Letha McBride has promised to
lend her services, but then she is the
"pet of the Press Club," and that is to
be expected. Miss McBride will play
and accompany other acts.
Other acts are now being arrangea
and Chairman MnOettigan is keeping
his plans frightfully dark for fear Mr.

perintendent of Crater Lake National

A Practically Perfect Preparation.
VEAES 0f experience have enabled Mr. Fletcher to make Castoria a practically
perfect preparation. These years of labor : the amount of money required to
introduce its merits to the public : the investment in its manufacture, including
the most modern machinery, mean a vast amount of invested capital. It follows
that the greatest care is exercised in the selection of each ingredient, and the
greatest attention is paid to every detail of its preparation. The result is the
practically perfect preparation in the finished product j Fletcher's Castoria.
Herein lies the guarantee of the absolute safety in the use of Fletcher's
Castoria for the baby, and the warning against irresponsible makers of imitations
and counterfeits. The signature of Chas. EL Fletcher that is printed in black on
the wrapper and red on the bottle is the mother's safeguard.
