thirty years ago the farmer was a
ticket agent in a railway station in
Dnmfriesshire- One day Thomas Car

rail and laid down a shilling. The
clerk, eager to obtain a souvenir of the
famous countryman, secured the coin

1t is unjust to the jurymen now
serving on the federal grand jury, to
say that the indictments against
Mitchell and Hermann are part of
persecution being conducted by
Hitchcock and Heney. The jurymen
are selected from the state at large,
many of them belonging to Her
mann's and Mitchells political faith
and all of them sworn to do their
duty according to the law and evil
dence. Put yourself in the place Of
these jurymen, and say whether you
would take part in a persecution of
this kind and scope. There must be
indisputable evidence in sight-evi-
dence which can be substantiated in
court. or else these indictments would
not have been returned. 1t is said
that Heney LEADS the grand jury

ters of honored citizens were to be

ROCKEFELLER IS

Oil King Ready to Cut
Down Expenses.

All the Employees There Have Been
Notified of Reduction in
Wages.
LAKE ESTATE COMES FIRST

NEW YORK. Aug. 5.-John D. Rookie
feller Is cutting down his expenses.
How many of his employees will be
discharged, how many salaries viii be
cut before Mr. Rockefeller feels his ex-
listing financial strain is eased, are
purely matters of speculation.
The first OF Mr. RockefeIler's Iuxuries
to fall afoul of his new policy of econ
omy is his Lakewood estate. Notice
has been served on the superintendent
of the reservation that his services will
not be required after July 81. and all
employees have been informed of a re-
duction in wages. This is saving of
from 10 to 20 per cent.
The superintendent and helpers who
have been paid $i50 a day, will have to
be content with S1.25 hereafter. AS
there are five of these men employed on
the golf links and grounds, Mr.. Rookie
Teller viii acquire saving OF SlZo
day. This in addition to the salary re-
ductionS among the rest OF the force
will cut as much as - a day from Mr.
salary list.
A big saving will be made by the dis
charge of the superintendent. He was
paid 500 a month
Whether Mr.. Rockefeller's new policy
Of retrenchment has been applied 10 his
other estates has not been aScertained,
but the selection of the LakeHbood es-
tate for an experiment in economy
shows how much Mr.. Rockefeller may
be pinched Unlike his other estates,
the Lakewood place was not built from
Mr.. Rockefeller's own money. 1t was
formerly the county club built by
George Gould and others.
After bargaining for a year or two,
Mr.. Rockefeller acquired the property
for $4,000 or something less than one
sixth of what had been put into the
place by Mr.. Gould and his associates.
