 MT. Rocke feIier's Other Gifts.
 It Is difficult to obtain list of Mir. Rockefeller's early benefactions for 1t is not his custom to foot them up and give out the totals for publication.
 Back in 1889 he began to take an in- terest in the University of Chicago. the great educational institution of the middle west In keeping with his poli- cy of making the recipient collect as much or almost as much from some other source as the amount asked of him. Mir. Rockefeller announced on May 15, 1SS9 the offer of $600,000 to the university, to be available as soon as others had subscribed s4o0.ooO. Since that first contribution he has given the same institution $19.0O0.000 more. That the university has proved worthy of Mir. Rockefeller's support Is shown

 His gift of $1,o0o,oO0 to Yale Uni versity and a similar sum to aid in the
 
 the South, show that MT. Rockefeller has no geographical limits in his dona- tfons After he had given the s1.00O.- 900 to the South an investigation was made to find out how it could be wisely expended. It was soon found that ID The more prosperous parts of the Southern states, the primary problem was being looked after, while in the very backward portions there was ap- solutely no means or supportinR schools. even If they were once start sd If was then deci1ed that the best use that could be made of the money was to set about teaching the best Of modern agriculture to the farmers Of inc noorer lands of the South. and. as some enthusiasts have explained, so give body and tone to the communities and make them capable of supporting schools fo rthe children.

Nashville. Tenn. Feb. 16.--After one of the most stubbornly fought legal battles. pr. J. Herman Feist. nrominent physician of this city, was today found builty of murdereing Mrs Rosa Mangrum.

Ili. on January 25. 1905. A few days before the disappearance or Mrs. Magrum, she drew something nke s1,400 from a local bank and an nounced that she was going to Cbi- cago. She left the boarding house on the night of her disappearance TOT the railway station and that was the last ever seen of her alive.

MT. Rockefellers plan runs counter to the American tradition which placed most of the older colleges in the coun- frv towns. The advocate of the coun- trv college are wont to declare that Webster was taught at Dartmouth, in a village the name of which is not gen erallv known. They also recall thar Garfield said that Mark Hopkins sitting or, a log with one student at the other ana was a university. But there is rn,.ch to be said for MT. Rockefellers rule in favor of the city college. or the four largest colleges in the coun- fry there are in or near the great cl- fIes of Boston, Chicago and New York. and one. Michigan University, is less than forty miles from Detroit. It has haen said that the contrast between fha wealth of the cities and States in inc North and the frontier conditions ns fine South and West, gives the Gen. eraI Education Board its opportunity n the number of weeks schooling a year that the different States are able fo give, there is a great disproportion. This city alone spends more on It's pun lie schools than the entire State or Pennsylvania; even more than the fourteen States from Delaware to T,ol,isfana included.

 In 1904 the aN craze number or years schooling of each inha bitant was twice as great in the States of the North as in the Southern States. Yet when their material resources are taken into consideration. 1t is seen that the south ern States have provided most gener- ousiy for schools. The expense for each inhabitant has more than doubled since 1880.
 Equally as interesting are the figures showing the disproportion between the resources Of universities and colleges in the different sections of the coun- try. In the North Atlantic states these Institutions receive an annual income of about S11 100000 a year. In the South Atlantic States the income IS only s2,62O,OOO; the North Central di- vision colleges enjoy an income or e1I.469. 900; the Southern Central d. vision S2,333. 900. and the Western di- vision with the exception of Califor- mia. $1,416,000.
