equaled, and we strongly and urgent
" recoplpend It to our readers.

NEW RockEFELLER GIFTS.
Oil Maanate Plans to Distribute Sums
For Charity.

New York, Aug. 3O.-John d. Rookie
Teller is planning gifts of money for
educational and charitable purposes
which. 1t is said, will so far surpass any
contributions he has hitherto made that
announcement Of them will astonish
the country. His methods of selecting
objects for his benefactions have been
changed, however, and hereafter they
will be made largely upon the advice
of his son, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and
according to systems learned by the
Younger man when he was In Europe
few months ago.
: To Make Gifts in Autumn.
Mr.. Rockefeller, Jr., left the Adiron-
dacks today with his family for cleve-
land. where he will confer with his
father upon some of the gifts to be
made this coming autumn. He VIII
remain there for several weeks. From
Cleveland he will come to New YORK
to open his Sunday school class for
the winter. This will open on the first
Sunday in october.
Three months of life on his fathers
place in the Adirondacks have I'M
proved Mr.. Rockefeller greatly IN
health, and a nervous dIuHeHl VI Liz
stomach, from which he suffered for
nearly a year, is practically cured.
This announcement was made by an
intimate friend of the family, who ar
rived in the city after a short stay
with him in his camp.
Mr.. Rockefeller plans, however.
after opening his Sunday school class,
to 20 for a month or SO to Pocantico
Hills, and then to sail for Europe to
spend the winter In the southern part
of France, as he did last year. He
does not intend to resume active bust
ness life until the spring of next year.
1t is said that when Mr.. Rockefeller,
Jr, was in Europe last winter he was
impressed by large gifts of money
made for the public good by several
wealthy Europeans, and directly after
he arrived in New York he spoke to
his father about making similar con-
tribution here. His father carefully
considered the matter and finally con-
sented to follow his sons suggestion.
The son is anxious that his father do
all possible good he can with his mil
lions and is always studying out ways
and means to that end.
