THE ROCKEFELLER HOME.
A SPLENDID COUNTRY ESTATE AT PO-
CANTICO HILLS-MR- ROCKEFELLER'S
WORK FOR GOOD ROADS.

The suburban homes of wealthy New-York-
Frs are as a rule, palatial IN their architecture
and appointments, and resemble city palaces set
In a rural picture This is especially true of the
homes on the Hudson. On the largest estates
massive stone structures have been built instead
OF the country houses. and where the modest
house still exists it attracts attention and specu
iaton as to what sort of palace will finally take
its place
One of the remarkable houses of the unpre
tentous kind is John u Rockefeller's home,
hear Tarrytown. 1t stands the high ground
Of Pocantico Hills has inclosed veranda
IN three sides. and resembles in general appear
New-York tribune., 1901-11-17

the houses which are popular in Lakewood
A short distance from the house is broad
sweep of roadway outlined with granite cop
ing from which there is a view the Hudson
River for miles in both directions, and there is
probably no point within a long distance where
so fine view of the stream and its picturesque
banks may be obtained.
The distance from TarrytOwn to the house is
about two and half miles by the road which
Mr.. Rockefeller had built This is winding and
crcutous- The visitor is impressed with
the good condition of the road and the evident
with which it laid out and although
he may be only superficial observer he will
know that good roads specially with the
owner of the Pocantico Hills property. The

ATTACKS WIFE AND
 THEN KILLS HIMSELF
PASSENGER ON THE CYMRlc, AN. NOUNCING THAT ALL ON BOARD SHOULD BE KILLED, PROCEEDS TO SLASH HIS WIFE.

Queenstown, November 23 = As the steamer Cymric, from Liverpool yester- day for New York, was coming down the channel this morning Thomas Halliday of Ohio. one of her passengers, attempted to kill his wife and then committed sui eide.
 Halliday had recently been complaining of sleeplessness. He and his wife boarded the Cymric at Liverpool after passing a couple of months visiting friends in County Down, Ireland The deceased prayed all night long and showed evil dence this morning that his mind was affected. After breakfast he announced that all the people on board the ship were to be killed, and drawing knife from his pocket he began hacking his wife and slashing at his own throat Mrs. Halliday struggled desperately to secure possession of the weapon, receiv- ing terrible gashes on her hands and neck, and was finally obliged to desist. Halliday then continued to hack his own throat until he had severed all the veins and muscles, and dropped dead outside his stateroom.
 The body of the suicide was taken ashore and Mrs. Halliday also disem- parked. An inquest will be held today.
 The Cymric proceeded on her way at Il o'clock @%

MARK TWAIN ON MEDICINE.
Reveals Cure for Heartburn and
 Recipe for Luxuriant Hair,

From the New York Tribune.
 Mark Twain talked Thursday night at the Fellow Citizenship Association of the East Side Settlement. at Seventy-sixth street and the East River. His talk was more medical than anything else.
 MT. Clemens interrupted himself to ex- press his conviction that three slices of ripe watermelons would cure the sever est case of dysentery He said he had seen 1t tried several times and it had never failed.
 Mr. Clemens talked of various simple remedies for all sorts of diseases that lay unused at every mans hand He spoke of a clergyman. a friend, to whom he had imparted the secret of his own luxuriant hair a stiff hair brush and nothing else-and told how that friend insisted on using a hair restorer that sent him to his pulpit three consecutive Sundays with green hair.
 Then Mir. Clemens began to talk of his own experiences.
 Tor eight years" he said, 'I was troubled with indigestion which took the form of an insurrection in my stomach after I went to bed. The various things I thought were good things began qu;sr- reling among themselves. and trying to agreeup on a fusion ticket that would win out. our years ago I was in a for eign land where there were no drug stores, so had to resort to the Swedish cure. which does not allow one to take medicine. Therefore, I used carbonate of soda every night When the heart burn came on l took handful of it. One night when had no soda I said to myself, I would rather stand the pain Purely by accident I stretched my self on my left side, and, curiously enough, the pain passed away. I made the same experiment several times with the same result.
 When I went to London I spoke to my friend, who Is the secretary of the Royal Medical Society, and asked him why the heartburn passed away when I laid on my left side. He said he didn't know. We'll that was in place where doctors were passing through each day by the hundred. and I asked him to see if any of them could tell me. None of them could. One doctor-a very famous one no less than Sir William Thomp- sons-said he remembered hearing of 1t fifty years ago. when his own heartburn was cured that way by an old man in Germany but he had never thought of it since. There was case where a simple and certain cure was in his hands and yet he had forgotten 1t and emptied drug stores into his patients without result.'

COMMITS FEMALE PRISONER.
Jackson Trial In London AdJourns for
 ~ Week.

London, November 23.-Public interest in the hearing of the charges against Theodore Jackson and Laura Jackson (Ann odelia Diss De Bar) at the Maryle- bone police court, has been surfeited by their reiteration and there were only few people in court when the hearing was resumed today.
 The child Daisy Adams was recalled and sharply cross-examined by the fe- male defendant with the view of showing that her alleged intimacy with Theodore was not her first experience in vice.
 The prosecution presented photographs with the record of Ann Odelia Diss Debar written on their backs obtained from Chicago. One appeared to have been taken in Joliet penitentiary. The female prisoner at that stage of the proceed ings interrupted prosecuting counsel by saying that she was never there. where upon counsel for the prosecution said that if her identity was disputed they would call an officer from Chicago. A photograph of Theodore Jackson taken at New Orleans, was also shown. Both of the. prisoners testifying in their own behalf denied the charges made against them.s Jackson said he had been sthe adopted son of Swami as the female prisoner has been frequently referred to for twenty years.
 Though the case was adjourned for week. the magistrate anonunced that he would commit the female prisoner for trial on the charge of swindling and that he would commit Theodore on the charge of unnatural practices. Both pris- wi ho fa1 of committing criminal assaults ofl a girl under 16
