Rookie teller Said to Be C0nfemDlaf.
ina lardc Gifts.

New York, Aug. 31.-On what was
stated to be the best authority the Her
aid says that John D. Rockefeller is
planning gifts of money for educational
and charitable institutions, which will
far surpass any contributions he has
hitherto made.
His method of selection will be
made largely upon the advice of his
son, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who has
left the Adirondaoks with his family
for Cleveland, where he will confer
with his father regarding the contri-
butiops to be made the coming autumn.

COURTMARTIAL ORDERED
FOR COMMANDER YOUNG

Washington, Sept. 1.-Secretary
Bonapsrte, in his action on the find
ings of the court of inquiry in the case
of the Bennington, severely arraigns
some officers of the vessel for failure
to look after the safety valves; orders
Commander Lucien Young before a
courtmartial to clear himself "of the
charge OF neglect of official duty" d.
rects the courtmartial OF Ensign Wade
on the charge of neglect Of duty, y
and disapproves the court Of inquiry e
finding that the Bennington was "in
an excellent state of discipline and in
good and efficient condition"
Ensign Wade was in charge Of the
machinery. The action as to Com.
mander Young was taken in view Of
the fact that the court Of inquiry in
it's findings and opinion did not pass
expressly upon his conduct and the
question Of his responsibility for the
explosion. Secretary Bonaparte, how,
ever, approves the court of inquiry
endorsement of the creditable conduct
Of all the survivors of the officers and
crew of the Bennington latter the ex
plosion occurred
In his review of the findings Score
tary Bonapsrte. with relation to the
statement that the Bennington was sir
an excellent state of discipline and il
good and efficient condition, says:
1.-The department does not conside,
this particular finding sustained by
the evidence; the proof tends strongly
to show that the enlisted force of thu
engineering divisions had been per
mitted to fall into habits Of laxity ant
inattention in the discharge Of theil
duties, and that at least some Of thil
force were also imperfeotly instructed
regarding their duties. In the view o.
the department the evidence establishe
further that certain appurtenances, to
wit, the safety and sentinel valves O.
at least one boiler were not in an eff
oient condition at the date mentioned
and had not been in such condition To-
considerable time previously, and il
the Judgment Of the department thi
evidence renders the statements tha
the ship was in a good and efficien
condition and that the boilers were il
fair condition an1 Efficient inappro

proof.

GRANDSON OF A KING.

Relation of the New Secretary OF the
Navy to the Bonapartes.
Charles ]. Bonaparte, the new Sec
rotary of the Navy, concerns himself
little about his royal origin. His grand
mother, Elizabeth Patterson, was the
reigning belle of Baltimore when Ma
poleon's brother, Jerome, afterward
King of Westphalia, visited it They
first saw each other at race course.
A few days later jerome was intro
duced to Miss Patterson, with whom
he fell madly in love. He determined
on making her his wife and they were
soon bethrothed.
When the French consul at Wash
ingtOn heard what Jerome had done
he was beside himself with rage and
| terror. What would Napoleon say?
He paled at the thought and alter
nately tore his hair and said naughty
words in choice Partisan. He drove to
Baltimore and implored the young
man in vain to break off the match.
But the marriage took place, and the
|
graced the occasion with his presence.
When Napoleon heard Of the nuptials
he was furious. He Immediately for
babe the consul to advance Jerome
any funds and warned every French
ship captain not to take on board

son to whom he had a tia chsd himself
Three years later the couple sailed to
Lisbon in one of Mrs. Bonaparte's
fathers ships. but the woman was moi
allowed to land An ambassador from
! Napoleon waited upon her and asked
what he could do for Miss Patterson u
She looked him haughtily in the face
and replied:
TELL your master that Nine. Bona
parte is ambitious and demands hel
rights as a member Of the imperial
family"
Jerome fastened to Paris, hoping tc
win over Napoleon. For time the
Emperor refused to see him. When
at length he was admitted to his
brothers presence he pleaded with
tears in his eyes on behalf Of the
little girl" but Napoleon was ada
mant. The erring one must give "
his bride or suffer Napoleonlc ostra
cism. Jerome was in despair, but al
first was true to his beautiful wife.
Being excluded from every port or
the continent Of Europe, and in mo-
mentary danger Of assassina ton, Nine
