70 establish for his son and heir. John ID.
Rockefeller Jr fine estate in the Po-
cantico Hills. His purchase OF a country
place was announced yesterday, but that
IS not the hrs; property he has acquired
there. II was only yesterday, however,
that IL was learned that he hac a definite
purpose IN buying the, various places
II, w Nichols. OF this city. is the
hroker who acted In the latest transac-
ton The property MIR Rockefeller ac-
quired cost him only $4,000. But 81 is
only one Of many purchases. II was
sold by Rufus w. Weeks of the New York
Life Insurance company. and comprises
about seven acres OF land.
The buildings are a large stone house
In excellent condition and various out
buildings. Young Mr.. Rockefeller may
make his home there or may use the
place only In the summer. He takes
formal possession on November 1. or his
father takes II for him.
From an old acquaintance and associate
day that not only this particular piece
Of property but all of the splendid estate
he is acquiring at Pocontico Hills, and
which amounts thus far 10 about 1900
acres. Ia being purchased for John ID.
Rockefeller Jr
Ever since Mr.. Rockefeller began to
buy land at Pocantico. little village just
outside OF Tarrytown, where his own big
country house stands. there has been a
good deal OF interest as TO what he was
going TO do with H. Some thought that
he planned a private park for himself.
and others that IL was intended as gift
to his daughter Mrs. +. p. Prentice. One
thing was certain. he was buying on
large scale.
AT present he owns practically all OF
Pocantico except the Church OF the Mas
dalene, the village tavern, the lyceum and
a few other pieces of property. He in
tends TO construct a beautiful artificial
lake I'm the heart of Sleepy Hollow, and
the estate will also have an eighteen-hole
golf links. He has taken so keen an
interest I'm property I'm the vicinity that
he has offered TO all the persons who still
own some roads of land there an oppor-
tunity 10 buy gravel for their roads from
his quarry at cost.
In all probability Mr.. Rockefeller will
continue 10 hold the title to the estate
i'm his own name. His son. however, will
be near at hand. and enjoy with him the
work of improving and beautfying the
property. The younger man will see the
estate develop into one of the finest pri-
vate parks In the country and eventually
1t will become his own.

Lydia Lippincott, spinster Quakers-s,
~of Cinnaminson, near Riverton. Inherited
from her father more than nifty years ago
personal estate amounting to about $4,000

SO well did Samuel Lippincott manage
the young womans affairs that in lsU
the $25, ,000 had expanded 10 $ll5.OOO.
: Al this time, with his wards consent,
he transferred the attorneyship 10 his son.
Heulings Lippincott. who is president OF
'the National State Bank Of Camden.
Lydia Lippincott had neither brothers
nor sisters, uncles nor aunts living. Her
mental condition was such that she could
not make a will and must necessarily die
sey at that time. and for years afterward,
permitted no Inheritance of personal es-
tate beyond first cousins.
There was no such restriction as to real
estate. Lydia Lippincott had only nine
heirs under this law. as her estate prac-
tically was all personal character.
Heulfnes idppincott carried out his trust
even better than his father, and the estate
was known TO have grown to more than
$500 900 under his management.

ton for personal and real estate. The

There was nothing wrong in this. for

On investigation II was found that Ly-

been real estate only, would number six
ty-seven. IL Is openly asserted now, with
out equivocation, that several OF these
collateral relatives signed a paper guar
inteeing fixed percentage OF whatever
money might he theirs TO bear the ex-
2ense OF having the law amended
The law was amended June H. 1895 and
