Our .Deserted VILLAGES ;,

MI. John d. Rockefeller is "buyfng
up" the hamlet of GriggsVille, in North
Tarrytown, to add its depopuIated site
to his 5000 acre estate. The Nassau
county court is reviewing the extraor-
binary action of the Hemptsead high
way commission, which gave half n
mile of beautiful public road to Mr.
w. K. Vanderbilt, Jr. Such news Of
ten calls attention to the manner in
which the region of New York's natural
growth is being absorbed in big "coun-
try estates"
The fashionable fad of the moment
is the simple life in the country. For
seems to be considered necessary
Where this is sought at a distance from
centers of population little harm can
result, but the depopulation of villages
within 80 miles of New York city hall
is serious evil.
Mr.. RockefelIer's tract covers the for
mer homes of many families and seri-
ousiy embarrasses the river villages in
their search for a water supply Mr.
Nanderbilts thousand acre estate at
Success Lake has dispossessed a dozen
families of Lakeville, which is less than
IL miles from city hall. A million peo-
pie as closely crowded as those on New
Yorks east side could live on this one
place. Mr.. Whitney's estate at Man
hassett includes part of the ancient
hamlet. Mr.. Jennings at Cold Spring
has half ruined that village by closing
a summer hotel; Mrs. Mackay's at
Roslyn closed a public road a grave
yard and what was practically the fin
est public park on the island, and the
debris of torn-down farm houses vet
filters Mrs.O. H p. Belmort's at Iemp-
stead
Such holding back of nearby farm
and forest land from suburban i'm
provement is most injurious to other
taxpayers, as North Tarrytown ana
Greenwich are beginning to know. But
one thing public officials can do. They
can refuse to close public roads for
land monopolists-a thing that is now
too often done; and where public con
venience demands they can run high
ways through these great areas, max
ing their remoter parts impossible of
inclusion in that high iron fence of the
home park" which is now "the style.''

attacked in the book laid the matter
before Cardinal Gibbons.
1t is said that from Baltimore the
matter was referred to Rome. The
book was suppressed. 1t will never see
the light.
Father Luigi Sartori has much doc
nmentary evidence of his relationship
to the pope, but though he shows an
honest pride in the elevation Of his
kinsman, he hastens to say that he has
not the remotest idea of asserting any
claim whatever to the favor of the pope
upon the ground of relationship. though
he will see him shortly.
Regarding the suppressed book he re.
grets that it did not get into circulation.
so that controversy mightShave been
started. as in that case he believes he
would have been upheld by the church
authorities.
He will resign his charge at Midland
in February, when he will start upon his
return home in the Tyrol. He will first
visit Rome and make call upon his
cousin, the holy father, and renew the
acquaintance of years ago.

Ministers of Cumberland passed reso-

But Father Sartorl, being a man Of
action, did not stop at sermonizing up
on the subject. He wrote book. In il
he denounced the practice OF raising
money for the church by the indis-
criminate embracing of young girls to
the strains of seductive music. When
the book was suppressed he said:

hesitation which they would display if
he were not king, but merely subject.
He carries out all their orders to the
letter, and, desiring to take as pleasant
a view as he can of the circumstances,
insists on having only cheerful people
about him. Sir Francis Laking, whose
optimism and cheerful good-nature are
notorious, is a great favorite of his.
The king of Italy is generally regarded
by the medical profession OF his native
country as an excellent patient, too, and
his ailments are few nowadays, notwith-
standing his very weakly youth. Both
these happy circumstances his doctors
attribute in large measure TO the very
rigorous treatment to which his military
tutor submitted him as boy, though
surprise is sometimes expressed that
this treatment did not kill him.
Queen Wilhelmina Of Holland gives

their instructions are carried out. The
story is told that one time, when the
queen had evineed marked disinclina-
ton to see doctor on a certain occa-
sion, and on his entering the room un-
der pressure from the queen-mother had
exclaimed that If he advanced she
would scream. the medical mans calm
answer was that he could not help her
screaming while he was advancing, but
he humbly begged to say that out of re-
gard for his duty to his sovereign and
his own reputation it would be neces-
sary for him to administer something
which would make screaming impossi-
bic as soon as he reached her.

ordered by one doctor 1ould be

Jefferson as an Inventor.

Not many people know that Thomas
Jefferson was a great inventor. His
inventions were all of articles of
everyday use. He devised a three
legged folding camp stool that is the
basis OF all camp stools Of that kind
to-day. The stool he had made for
his own use was his constant COM
panion on occasions OF outings. The
revolving chair was his invention. He
designed light wagon. A copying
press was devised by him and came
into general use. He also inyented an
instrument for measuring the distance
he walked. A plow and hemp Guilt
vator showed that his thoughts were
often on agricultural matters. His
pillow received a gold medal in France
in 1890. Jefferson never benefited
financially by his inventions, but be-
heved they should be for the use OF
everyone without cost.
