ROCKEFELLER'S Will
QUARTER OF BILLION DOLLARS
FOR COMMON GOOD.
viii Donate Much to Charity-Edaca-
ton Will Also Be Aided in Man.
ner to Astonish World-vast Sum
to New York-PersonaI Friend of
Family Is Quoted.

The New York Herald says that ac-
cording to a member of John D. Rookie
Teller Jr.'s Bible class, and who is also
personal friend of John d. Rockefel-
Ter and in a position to know of his
affairs, the latter proposes soon to
make a princely gift to New York city.
1t will amount to at least $50, 100000
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 world when it is made public. 1t
will, it is declared, give no less than
| $3.50, 00e, 900 for charitable and educa-
ticnal purposes and it will be so be-
slowed that the benefit therefrom will
almost be perpetual.
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.. Rock efeller does not think it 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 thai
they will ever need any great inancia
assistance from one man.
"Mr. Rockefeller, however, is said tc
be much in favor of the growth o
education and to the furtherance O
this he mas done much in his will. HI
believes that education will make thi
country the greatest in the world
and that every cent contributed to
ward that object will help to maxi
better citizens and better Christians
LAS to the charitable requests,
was said some time ago that MI
Rockefeller had in mind buildinI
, model tenements for the poor, such a
have been erected in some E.uropeal
cities.
"In his will, the informant states
Mr. Rockefeller has provided thes
| things: Requests for religious pul
{ poses, though not of large sums, lii
eral requests for education, and wha
are described as princely requests 70
charitable purposes. 1t is said tina
there is scarcely a man, woman O
!, child that will not benefit in some wa
, by these prospective donations"
