OIL KING TO HAVE NEW ESTATE

What Is Being Done to Make 1t one

Since the modest home Of Mr.. John

fine estate of 1000 acres in the Pecan
tico hills near Tarrytown, n. T., was
burned he has been perfecting plans
for a new and more elaborate resi-

some time ago and work begun. But

soften its lines, the occupant can look

Close about the house the eye falls
upon features which are the rewards
and penalties of wealth. Doubtless
the great stone wall being erected
around the house could almost be
looked upon as penalty, for 1t is
probably intended to protect the occu-
pant of the house from intruders. This
is not the only house in the grounds
which has to be protected from pry-
ing eyes. The wooden house near by
occupied by John d. Rockefeller, Jr.,
is surrounded by piazza. Each en-
trance to this piazza Is closed by a
locked door. A caller cannot even
gain access to the front door to ring
the bell without first ringing a bell
for admission to the piazza itself.

connected with the new house by a
covered passageway, possibly for use
on rainy days.
In the acquisition of the parcels
necessary to complete his scheme for
a summer home, Mr.. Rockefeller has
bought house after house. 1t is said
that there are rs houses in the park
to-day which he has acquired in the
course of the execution of his plans.
Most of them are occupied by en-
ployes. There have been some par.
cells of property which Mr.. Rockefel
Ter has not found it possible, with all
his great wealth, to purchase. Mr..
Rockefeller does not like saloons in
his neighborhood. Recently tavern
standing at the junction of Sleepy Hol
low, Bedford and Eastview roads, in
the village of North Tarrytown, was
offered for sale at auction. 1t was
known as The Anchor, and had been
conducted by John Jacob Melin for "a

Rockefeller offered him $500 for his
place. He declined, and has gained
some good advertising in consequence.
1t brought $4,000 at auction. 1t is said
that there is possibility of dance
hall being added to the saloon, which
is scarcely quarter of mile In an

OF MEN
BACK AT WORK TODAY.
[snecial to The sentinel.D }


st. Louis, June Thousands of
men thrown out of employment dur
ing the business and financial de-
preston are back in their old places
today, as the result of a concerted
plan of all the manufacturing and
commercial concerns in the city to
make this employment day. The
project had it's origin with the Ma
tional Prosperity association, the
"let us alone" body, and has been
generally taken up by the business
interests of the city.
Among the big concerns which
celebrated prosperity day were the
Ferguson Mckinney Dry Goods com
pany, which put back 1000 employees
temporarily dropped from the pay
rolls during the financial depression,
and the Ely & Walker Dry Goods
company. which today started every
machine in it's factories and gave en-
ployment to 1000 men and women
Many other concerns employed
smaller numbers of workmen and the
movement has been taken up by the
railroads and other corporations.
There is a feeling. of confidence that
employment day" marks the full re-
turn of prosperity to st. Louis, and
1T is likely that the plan followed
here will be taken up in many other
cities throughout the country.

In A DREAM GIRL
WAS WARNED OF DEATH
Pueblo Presents Strange Case-The
Dream Came True and the
Girl is Dead.

One of the strangest cases
ever recorded of premOnitiOn of
death through dream, has
come to light lin regard to the
death of Miss Ethel Mcintosh,
IA 17-year-Old Pueblo girl, who
died May %, at Parsons, Kas.,
where she was visiting.
The premonition came to Miss Nc
Intosh's friend, Miss Blanche Seeley
of SO4 west Thirteenth street Pueblo,
and Is proved by the existence of a
letter written by Miss Seeley in which
she told of the dream, before she had
heard of her friends death.
That the case borders on the
super-normal cannot be doubted from
the evidence at hand, and so far no
explanation has been offered which
will give a plausible solution of the
circumstances. Some of those who
have heard of the case place it to
chance, while others think that it
was nothing more nor less than a
vision.
Miss Mcintosh was visiting in Par
sons when she was stricken with the
illness which caused her death. She
was an attendant at Centennial high
school last year and is the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Mcintosh. Her
remains were brought to Pueblo for
burial last week.
Dreams of Angels.
On the night of May 25 Miss Nc
Intosh passed away, her illness hav-
| ing been of such an acute character
that her friend, Miss Seeley, who was
in Pueblo, did not learn of 1t. On
the same night Miss Seeley had a
strange dream in which she believed
\ trit bnr Nd
| that she flew away with the heaven
ly visitor. She did not seem to take
| the vision as applying to herself, but
feared that it meant death to her
! friend in Kansas. Worrying over
the strange dream she wrote letter
to her absent friend, who was then
dead though Miss Seeley did not
know 1t. The letter has been pre-
served, and the facts and evidence
! probably will be prepared and placed
| in the hands of the American Society
for Psychical Research.
J Writes of the Dream.
That part of the letter pertaining
to the dream follows:
| Dear Ethel: l had dream last
night | Greamed l was on some steps
beside a sea of water. An anger
came to me and ] took hold of her
arms and we flew away.
81 am worrying about you; maybe
! It will be you instead of me. anyway
i it was sweet to go like that.
BYE, bye, BLANCHE"
The circumstances of the case only
came to light through the opening
of the letter which was written to
Miss Mcintosh. When the letter tell
ing of the dream was read the case
was looked upon as so remarkable
that all who heard it commented
upon it.
In the case of Miss Seeley she
| seemed to have received intelligence
of her friends death while she was
sleeping, the impression being Sc
vivid that she was able to recall III
some detail her remarkable dream.
