WORLD'S RICHEST BABY IS LITTLE MISS DUKE. , ? ' I Country'* Richest Babies. James B. Duke's daughter $100,000,000 VV. K. Vanderbilt's son 60,000,000 Edward Vinson McClean 50,000,000 Jno. Nicohlas Brown 10,000,000 John Jacob Astor 3,000,000 While high-priced physicians and nurses hover near in softfooted attention, a $100,000,000 baby?probably the richest mite of humanity in all the world ? lies cooing today in the New York home of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Duke. It's a girl ard the little one reached the home of the tobacco king a fortnight ago. The father is fifty-seven years old and claims to be the happiest man in the country today. The mother, formerly Mrs. Nanaline Inman, of Atlanta, is some years younger, but none the less happy. The fortune of James B. Duke is conservatively estimated at $100,000,000, and it is still grow ing, for the army of smokers is increasing. If these figures are nnnrrtximatelv correct, little Miss "ft Duke is heiress to more millions than the McClean baby, the Vanderbilt baby or others whose names stand high in the list of the country's wealthiest children. Mr. Duke, with all his wealth, has desired mcst of all an heir. He has always been fond of children?even when they belonged to other people. His joy knows no bounds today, now that a longdesired event nas taken place in his own household. No child of royal blood ever came into the world amid more comfortable and luxurious surroundings than the daughter of the Dukes. The magnificent fifth avenue mansion was turned into a private hospital; no expense was spared in obtaining the best physicians arid nurses, and the baby's layette represented the outlay of a small fortune. The great wish of a millionaire's heart was to oe gratified, and no preparations were overlooked. (Advertisement.) Diives Off a Terror.

I was born in Ireland and served my apprenticeship in the Dyeing of all f grades of goods in Alexandria, Scotland. I have been in the United States 81 years, between the North and South, and I have been doing nothing but Dyeing and Cleaning since Cleveland's administration, years ago. I have been in Fort Mill for seven years. And, think of it. not even a single complaint has been heard or said about my work. I don't make my living like a mosquito bite. I believe I can take a pinetop. a bucket of molasses, a bucket of tar, one gallon of varnish and one bushel of clay, mixed well together, and working by moonlight can do better dyeing than anything that has hit Fort Mill in the last seven vears.
