few moments. those aboard the Mayflower be-
came conscious of what appeared to be swarms
of small white birds the ships. Locking
closer, the swarms slowly resolved themselves
into scores upon scores of white clad tackles
manning the turrets of the fighting ships. Then
long lines of other jackies manning the taft
rails, upper structures and fighting tops were
seen. Long, tapering guns thrusting steel
muzzes through the ports became visible and
what at first sight had been only a fleet of
mammoth and diverse craft became In a twink
ling four divisions of formidable fighting ships
ready for action.
At 9:25 a. m. the Mayhower had steamed to
the head of the north column, preparatory to
passing down the lane between the Kearsarge
and the Olympia. Suddenly twelve FOUNDER in
the Kearsarge's secondary battery emitted a

HOW ROCKEFELLER GIVES.
The Millionaire Doesn't Distribute
Cash mt Haphazard.
PROM the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
1t requires a huge staff of clerks and
secretaries with an almost endless army
of books and records to give away the
money of John d. Rockefeller, the
Standard Oil millionaire.
Just how much is given and just
where it is given is secret between
Mr.. Rockefeller and his trusted cash
Ter, Fred T. Gates. These two are not
telling anyone what is going on, and
they will not even admit that any
form is going out of the busy establish
ment. 1t is a fact. however, that TO
conduct the charities OF the millionaire
scores of persons are always busy.
The system is like a huge mai1-or-
der business. The only difference is
that the requests for money come into
the office, and instead of sending out
lines of goods the Office sends out aid
to the needy. Like everything else
connected with the Standard Oil con-
Germ, this department is a development
from a small beginning. How much
greater 1t will grow cannot be predict
ed. 1t is growing every day and the
force needed to operate 1t is being add

Every charitable organization in the
county is used to investigate and re-

up for consideration. The police and
the hospitals are made a part of the
vast machine constructed for the sole
purpose of giving away money.
The underlying idea of the whole af-

SALTWATER KILLED
BY DEPUTY SHERIFF.

Barlow, Fla, March "a young
man, giving the name of William
saltwater, and who said his home was
in Pennsylvania, was killed at the
county jail last night about o'clock
saltwater was taken I'D at Lake
land about ten days ago, and given a
sentence of thirty days on the county
chaingang for vagrancy Last night,
when Deputy Sheriff Burt Chllds went
to the jail for the purpose of arrang-
ing the prisoners for the night, young
saltwater became boisterous and very
abusive to the officer. and finally made
a rush for him. catching his right arm
as if to take his revolver from him.
Mr.. Childs pulled loose from him,
and as he did so the pistol was dis
charged, the ball entering the young
mans breast. He fell to the floor of
the Jail and died in about twenty min
utes. DR.. J. N. Smith was hastily
summoned and reached the Jail just
as the man breathed his last.
Deputy Childs says the shooting was
entirely accidental, the weapon being
discharged by his effort to wrest his
arm from the prisoner.
The young man had been rather trou-
blesome ever since he was placed on the
gang. The guard had some trouble
with him on two or three occasions out
on the road. and his actions indicated
that he was expecting to make an at
tempt to get away.
There were 10 or IL other prisoners in
the Jail at the time, and Deputy Childs
thought at first they were going to
make an effort to escape, but instead
they all ran the other way when the
pistol fired The prisoners were all col
ored except the man who was killed
and one other who was also serving a
term for vagrancy.
