 OOO-Tired of Its Care.
 NEW YORK, April 27.-It is said that John D. Rockefeller has begun to dispose of all his real estate holdings In this city and elsewhere.
 MT. Rockefeller has always had an aversion to owning land and particu- larly to the cares which its proprie- torshlp entails.
 1t appears that Mir. Rockefeller has decided to divest himself of title to all real estate in favor of his son, John D. Rockefeller, Jr
 A dispatch from Cleveland says that Mir. Rockefeller has deeded all the property he owns ill that city and in Cuyahoga county to his son, and Chi cago report afiirms that he has given to the University of Chicago a tract of land worth $2,O00,0OO.
 Mir. Rockefeller has transferred to John D. Rockefeller, IT,, other real "es- tate holdings in various parts of Cleve- land and the suburbs.
 It is estimated that the value of prop erty transferred there is close to ST. 100000. The transaction discloses how large are the realty holdings of the elder Rockefeller in and about Cleve- land.
 '"The world has never known the true Mir. Rockefeller" said an old friend of his. "There is one thing that has always worried him, and that is real estate. He has been trying for years to get rid of what he owns. He realizes that he is no longer young man, and he wants his son to under take the tasks that are now resting on him.
 "He is finally carrying out a plan that has been long in his mind.
 ''Mr. Rockefeller wants his son to understand the responsibility of real estate ownership. He wants to put upon the young man all the burdens that he has known. He wants to have the property in the boys hands while he is living, so that he will be able to help him with advice. but he wants no more to do with it than in an advisory capacity"

During the evening the following song

They came from the city of millionaires

And wherever they go hearts of fair ones

Bright eyes and sweet smiles from An

Oh, the Pittsburg boys dandy, and the

He'll wrap it up in package and lay 1t

Yes, the lad from the Smoky City's the
