ROCKEFELLER PESSIMISTIC.
Predicts Disaster and Gives $3,000, ,000
 to Chicago University.

10 InICd9O oHiVeFSfIy.
 New York, Jan. 2.-John D. Rockefel- Ter, the oil king, in an interview pro- dicted disaster to the workingmen of America in 1907. He said the toiling masses must suffer because the great shrinkage in values due to attacks on corporations would force the debtor classes to retrench.
 The interview was followed by the announcement that MT. Rockefeller had given $3,OOO,OOO as a New Years gift to the University of Chicago.
 Including the present gift, MT. Rock efeller has given to the University of Chicago a sum estimated at about $2O,- 100000. He was instrumental in the founding of the university, and his first gift, which was for the purpose of starting it, was one of $6OO,0O0 toward an endowment fund, conditioned on the pledging of $4OOOO0 additional before June 1, 1890. That gift was followed by another of $1,OOO,OOO. MT. Rockefel- ler's gifts to the university have all ways been about $1,O0O,O00 or more and are generally made around Christ mas or the New Year.

HAUNTED BY A BABY.
Memory of Little Ones Cries Would
 Not Let Mothers Slayer Rest,


 Not Let Mothers Slayer Rest.
 Philadelphia, Jan. ?. .- Unable to si- lence the cries of his victims child, which he said were forever ringing in his ears, John G. Price made written confession, the police say, to the Lewis murder mystery that has baff1ed them for nearly four months.
 Mrs Maurice K Lewis was stabbed to death and her body concealed in the closet of the boarding house she made her home at 2103 North Eleventh street on Sept. 10. After long investi- gation the police pronounced the crime inScrutable. The most tangible clew was furnished by the woman's two-year-old child, who would murmur when questioned:
 Big man hurt her."
 During the three weeks that Price, who is thirtyfour years of age and was sent to Norristown Insane asylum in 1899 after being acquitted of for gery and larceny on the ground of in sanity, has been in prison on larceny charge he has started to write a score of alleged confessions. The voice of the child apparently goaded him on until the confessions arrived at the ac- tual murder scene.
 All halted there Reluctance to be- tray an accomplice, who, he says, par ticipated in the crime. has deterred Price. The keynote of the apparently complete confession is:
 ''It is not because she struggled. It is not that. It was not because I thought she might tell on us later. Not so small reason as that. It was the baby-the little, prattling baby"
 Mrs. Lewis was stabbed with q sur geon's lance which Price says he stole from the office of physician the day of the murder. Price and his accom- plice had learned that Mrs. Lewis had considerable money in bureau draw CT in her home, which they visited on the pretext that they were plumb CTS. Prices confession says:
 ''It was the baby's cries that made the poor little thing fought with my legs as I showed the mother back through the hallway. Oh, my God, can see that baby's face and hear that baby's cry at this very moment wish was dead. I just got the lance out of my pocket and showed 1t into her neck. But I didn't know she was dead. didn't know that even when I showed her into the closet, but kill ed the woman because I couldn't stand the baby's piteous cries."

PROOF OF INDIAN LEGEND.
Cave Tomb With Skeletons Of Arick
arees Discovered in Wyoming.

Sheridan correspondence OF the Denver Republican
Accident has led to the discovery of what
is probably one of the most ancient burial
grounds in Wyoming. dating back as early
at 1911, and as a result it is believed much
corroborative historical data have been
confirmed
An Italian hunter near Carneyville one
of the coal camps near Sheridan, reaching
in a hole in the rocks for a rabbit pulled
out a skull, which so frightened him that
he ran to summon his companions. A blast
revealed a cave in the rocks, long since
covered over, in which was found seven
complete skeletons, well as blankets
beads, tomahawks and other Indian relics
that authorities declare were the property
of the Arickarees, who founded a village of
that name in 1900 near where Pierre, S. D..
now stands
The discovery seems to substantiate an
old Indian legend long held in doubt by
Wyoming historians. but which has been
among the Crows and Sioux. The legend
deals with the expedition of Wilson p.
Hunt, who In 1910 headed the Aston expedi-
ton, starting from Omaha in April of that
year to follow in the footsteps of Lewis and
Clark
On July IS, 1911, Hunt and a party Of
sixty men, seven Arickaree Indians and one
Sioux interpreter, left the Arckaree village
for the northwest. The Indian legend Ia
that near the crossing of Little Powder
river the whites became suspicious of the
actions of the seven Arickarees, fearing
| they meant to betray the band into the
! hands of the Blackfeet According to the
| Indian story, the Arickarees were detailed
| with a party of twenty whites to scout to
| the north of the Little Power river camp
! and that later on the whites returned. de-
| carng the Indians had deserted. The In
dams have always said. that the whites
! murdered the entire band, but not until the
| discovery of the seven skeletons has the
story been given any credence
1t is now asserted that the relics found

the unpleasant revelation Of himself
which Mr. Hartman made on the witness
stand in the Interstate commerce COM
mission investigation. with it's disturbing
consequence of further inf1aming anti
railroad sentiment in those states where
the legislatures had already begun to
cripple railroad earning power by enact
ments neither wise nor fair. The loquac-
ity which Mr.. Hartman developed after
his session on the witness stand was
but symptom of a relaxing hold which
indicated to those competent to inter-
pref such warning that something was
likely to happen in Wall street before
long, as happen it did.
Not all the causes of decline or reasons
for it have been eliminated or satisfied
by the recent panic. The international
money market shows no signs of i'm
proyement, and apparently anti-railroad
feeling is going to play an increasing part
in the political considerations which pre-
Hcede next years presidential campaign
| rather than a diminishing one. On the
other hand, some of the more eminent
leaders of public sentiment seem to
have been aroused to a certain sense of
danger in the unlimited encouragement
to demagoguery which they have been
giving, and railroad managers and cap
italists have shown disposition to meet
the representatives of public opinion
more than half way Meanwhile it is
unquestonabiy true that the panic has
shaken the market down to a level which
stimulates investment demand.

Henry Wits Saturday Wash.


The origin of Saturday night Tubing
seems to be lost in the mists of antiquity
According to Mr.. Sidney Young who
delivered a most erudite and amusing
discourse at BARRIERS Hall on the Re
lations Anciently Existing Between Bar
bers and Surgeons it was the custom
of no less a person than King Henry
VIII to perform partial additions on oc-
casional Saturday evenings. The kings
barber one John Pen. Penn or Penne,
an ancestor of the famous Quaker of
that name, was expected to be present
at these august ceremonies, when the
Defender of the Faith was pleased ito
cleanse his head, legs or feet" The reg
| ulation requiring the BARRIERS attend
| ance was a standing order, dating ap-
parently from the reign of Edward ".
1t is preserved in the ''Liber Niger Domus
Regis" and its wording seems to imply
that the solemn washings were partial
and special rather than thorough, and
that the kings majesty often did with
out them.
The royal barber, who was also a
groom of the privy chamber and one of
the fifteen persons allowed to enter it,,
| daily, having in readiness his water,
| basons, knives, combs, scissours and such
other stuffe as to his roome doth apper-
| tame for trimming and dressing of the
kings head and beard" He was fur
| Their required to take special regard
to the pure and clean keeping of his
own person and apparel, using himself
| always honestly in his conversation with
| out resorting to the company of vile per-
sons" and on. Thus we have the be-
ginnings of asepsis When he was shay
| ing the king a knight of the chamber
| or squire Of the body, or both were re-
quired to be present in order to prevent
J foul play. The portrait of Pen figures
| prominently in Holbein's famous picture
of Henry VIII delivering a charter to
| the BARRIERS and surgeons on the occa-
sion of their union in one body.

CHARACTER IN THE FACE.
Points for the Manageable Worked
Out by an English Woman.

From the New York Sun
The face as a map of character and dis
position is the subject of an elaborate study
by an Englishwoman She holds that the
reading of the features can be reduced to
an exact science. There is an elaborate
classification of eyes. Among the broad de-
auctions Is the dictum that dark eyes in
variably indicate a strong, passionate ma
ture, while lght-blue ones show calculat-
ing, cool and resolute character.
Light-brown eyes are signs of intelligence,
fancy, fickeneSS in love and q rapidly fluc-
tuating temperament. sure indication of
oratorical gift is projecting eyes, and they
also betoken literary skill in the use OF
language. strongly developed nose is a
mark of superior endowments The owner
of big nose has more energy than the
owner of a small one.
The majority Of men who have become
renowned as rulers and leaders, it is point
ed out, had big noses-.Caesar, Wellington,
Napoleon and Nelson, for example. A man
with modest intellect and a big nose can
always be reckoned on to make more of a
mark than man with a great brain and
a little nose. The nostrils also have their
significance. Large nostrils indicate cour-
age; little ones, cowardice. Long narrow
ones show activity and bodily vigor. Broad
nostrils opening toward the sides show
prediction for horses.
Mouth and lips are full of suggestiveness.
The man with a hanging underlip is APT
to lack perseverance and concentration of
purpose. The modest individuals lower
lip is habitually pressed close against the
upper lip at the center. The sentiment Of
hate causes a hard dropping of the lower
lip so as to show the teeth. Persons wht
habtually show the teeth in this way are
apt to be malevolent.. The chin and lower
jaWbone broaden clear. back to the leve
of the wisdom teeth. This is true, both OF
men and women. The youth who seeks al
amable spirit in his sweetheart mus
choose a girl with gently curvng lower lips
and full and well-rounded chin: her eyes
must be soft and brown. If he desires great
constancy, he must look carefully to the
spread of her lower jaw. Economy is
above the wings of the nostrils.
On the other hand, the young woman
who desires industrious husband should
choose man with long upper lip. If she
desires even good temper in her spouse,
she had best choose one with round face
and curly hair.

tuberculosis Kills Buffalo.
From the Denver News.

FROM the DeuVer News
On the very spot where once he ranged in
full enjoyment of the broad sweep of free
prairie, now comprised by civilization, a
dread fate has come to the buffalo. The
white plague is devastating the already
thin ranks of the herd at City Park. There
is curious irony in the discovery Years
ago, before there was any civilization, the
site of the City Park was marched over
every day doubtless by thousands of buff
falo, and such a thing as tuberculosis was
never known among the animals.
Now the park is a Mecca for human be-
ings afflicted with the dread disease, and
the air of the grand pleasure resort is
taken daily by scores of people seeking a
return to health. For humanity there Is no
better breathing spot in Colorado. yet to
the buffalo it Is sure death, apparently.
One of the members of the herd died
early this week and an investigation
proved that 1t was from tuberculosis. An
other tubercular patient has been found in
the herd and isolated to avoid possible
contagion. The test applied to dairy cows
will be given all the buffalo. and an effort
made to find out how many are affected.
