Reno, New. March 19.-The Truckee
river has reached the highest point in
SO years of which records have been

President Roosevelt for shooting up
the town of brownsville, Texas, on the
night of August 10, 1906, an entirely
new phase has been given the case,
the most sensational that has come to
light concerning the affair, which has
attracted the attention of the whole
country since the outrage was COM
mitted. The five negroes have arrived
here and from what can be learned
they make a clean breast of every
thing and furnish testimony which
will no doubt help clear up the case.
The discharged soldiers bear each

the riot which cost the life of one

HIS TiPToE HABIT.

zone habit l don't get over yet"
said one time fat dweller who has
now attained to the dignity of house,
"is that Of walking around on my toes.
I'VE lived in fiat house under a
family whose floors were uncarpeted
and who used to walk around on those
bare floors flatfooted with their heavy
shoes on-tramp, tramp, tramp all the
time. Over our heads it was always
laundering. and sometimes it used to
drive us pretty nearly distracted. They
were nice, well meaning people. all
right, but they just didn't think, and
we had to suffer for 1t.
But 1t made me think that II their
walking around like that over us dis
turbed us so. what must our walking
around be to the people under us?
THAT led to my forming this tip-toe-
ing habit that still clings to me. From
going on tiptoe on the bare places
came to walking ON tiptoe all around
our fat, where we had carpets or rugs
as we'll, and so at last came to walk
instinctively along the tiled floor OF
the hall without.
"Some Of my folks laughed at me,
but / taught them at least all to walk
softly In the fat, while with me the
tiptoe habit became confirmed.
Then fortune smiled on us rather
broadly and here we are, as you see
us, In a house, where we could jump
on the floors II we wanted to and never
disturb anybody. But the tiptoe habit
formed In the hat still clings to me and
frequently l md myself, as you found

around that way, when it comes to me
that I an tipteeing, and my folks say

It's the force of habit, you know that
all.

The New York Herald says that &C.
cording to a member of John d. Rookie
Teller Jr.'s Bible class, and who is also
a personal friend of John d. Rockefel.
Ter and in a position to know of his
affairs, the latter proposes soon to
make princely gift to New York city.
1t will amount to at least $50, ZOO, 900.
1t will be partly charitable and partly
educational.
"This man also said that when Mr..
Rockefeller was comforting with his
son at Lakewood, N. j., a fortnight
ago, the meeting was not for the pur-
pose Of discussing any immediate gift.
but was on the subject Of Mr.. Rookie
feller's will, which document the oil
king was then completing with the aid
of his son and his lawyers. 1t was
said that this document will astonish

''The manner in which these be-
quests will be bestowed is said to be
mainly educational and charitable.
While there are some contributions
for religious purposes, it is stated that
Mr.. Rockefeller does not think 1t nee.
essary to extend any great financial
aid to churches. He thinks the
churches are growing steadily strong.
er and that there is no danger that
they will ever need any great financial
assistance from one man.
"Mr. Rockefeller, however, is said to
be much in favor of the growth OF
education and to the furtherance OF
this he has done much in his will. He
believes that education will make this
country the greatest in the world
and that every cent contributed to
ward that object will help to make
better citizens and better Christians

was said some time ago that Mr.
Rockefeller had in mind building
model tenements for the poor, such as
have been erected in some European
cities.
"In his will, the informant states
Mr.. Rockefeller has provided these
things: Requests for religious pur
poses, though not of large sums, lib
eral requests for education, and what
are described as princely requests fol
charitable purposes. 1t is said thai
there is scarcely a man, woman OF

A Korean chooses always for the
site of tomb some steep hillside, high
