SPANISH TREASURE SHIPS.
Were Rich Prey For the Buccaneers Of
All Nations.

The Dutch first and then the French
played such havoc at the Azores with
the returning plate ships, says writer
in Scribner's, that from 1888 a strong
escort, known as the Indian Guard,
met both the West and East Indian
ships at those islands and conveyed
them to Spain. The French then i'm
proved upon the Dutchman's method
by sending a fleet to the New World
in 1888, which sacked Cartagena and
several other places on the Spanish
Main. though all that was done by both
French and Dutch was hardly more
than sporadic and until the English
mariner marked the plate fleet for his
prey the Spaniards hardly noticed his
losses at the hands of others; but from
the day Sir Francis Drake sailed into
the Caribbean the galleon's security
vanished, and her wake across the seas
was fouled with drifting spars, shatter-
ed hulks and blazing wreckage. After
a bold attempt upon Nombre de dos,
which he called The Treasure OF the
World" Drake withdrew to a secluded
spot and entered upon q system OF pre-
datory warfare that drove the Span
iards TO distraction. How many gal
Icons fell victims to his daring there is
no means of knowing. The San Felipe
and the CacajuegO, the glory OF the
South Seas, are but two Of many charg-
ed up against him by the Spaniards,
who lost nearly $2,O00.O0O in these cap
lures alone, and how thoroughly he
SWEPT the seas we can only judge by
the terror and panic the mere mention
of the name FL Draque inspired. Drake
next sailed through the Straits of Ma
gellan and burned and plundered his
way I'D the west coast Of South Amer
lea, and in the frenzy aroused by this
attack Spain put forth great efforts to
fortify the straits, but from fraud and
mismanagement the attempt failed.
The reckless daredevil courage Of the
British sailor of this period has never
been surpassed Captain Whiddon's at
tack upon galleon fleet Of twenty-four
sail and the immortal fight Of the little
Revenge when, alone and unsupported,
she accounted for seventeen out or
fleet Of flfty-thr heavy galleons before
the waves closed over her deck, have
been seldom paralleled and never sur
passed.

OLD MAN ROCKEFELLER.
Secret of the Life of John D's Father
Exposed.

The body Of DR.. William Avery
Rockefeller, father of the "Oil King"
John D. Rockefeller, lies in an unmark-
ed grave in Oakland cemetery, Free
port, Ill. He died in that city May H.
1906, aged 96 years, months and 2S
days.
For fifty years he led a double life.
Under the assumed named Of DR.. Will
liam Levingston he farmed and sold
medicine of his own decoction in llli-
nois and North Dakota. During those
same years he occasionally appeared
at the homes Of his sons and among
his old acquaintances in the east as
Dr.. William A. Rockefeller.
The proofs Of this have been collect
ed by a World reporter whose investi-
cation has just been completed.
During thirty-four years Of the fifty
he had two wives. One was Mrs. Eliza
Dawson Rockefeller the mother of John
D. Rockefeller The other was Mrs.
Margaret L. Allen Levingston. The f1rst
wife, Mrs Rockefeller, mother or the
richest man in the world, married In
New York state in 1887. She died In
New York in 1889 at the age of IS. The
second wife, Mrs. Levingston, he mar
ried in Ontario, o. This second wife
is now living in Freeport, ILL.,, a charm
ing, whitehared, Christian woman of
10 years.
DR.. Rockefeller was As years old when
he deserted his wife and family in
Cleveland and went to Canada, and,
under, the assumed name OF William
Levingston, married Miss Margaret L.
Allen, a pretty girl Of 20. For fifty
years she lived with him as his wife,
never knowing until just before he died
that her husband was bigamist. Un-
til a few years before his death she did
not know that he was William A.
Rockefeller or that he had been indict-
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1908-03-13

ed in New York state. Even now she
will not say that he was William A.
Rockefeller.
I'VE lived happily together for fifty
years and I shall be true woman to
the end" she says.
During the last twenty-five years Of
his life, DR.. Rockefeller's whereabouts
and the existence Of the other wife
were known to his sons, John D., Will
liam and Frank Rockefeller, and to his
son in law, Pierson D. Briggs of Cleve-
land. But no one else in all the world
knew.
The first Mrs. Rockefeller lived thir-
ty-four years after he deserted her and
died without knowing that her husband
had taken a girl Of 20 in her stead
And all the members Of the Rockefel
Ter family except these four men, knew
nothing Of It, They did not know where
the old man lived. The three sons kept
him we'll supplied with money, but they
guarded we'll the secret Of his life and
whereabouts.
He was first hidden on a farm in Ma
con county, ILL.,, about half way be-
tween Decatur and Clinton. AS the
country settled up around him he NOV
ed to Freeport, Ill., and in 1881 he NOV
ed again to the extreme frontier in
North Dakota on a farm thirty miles
from railroad. On this farm he spent
each summer for fifteen years. known
10 his neighbors as Dr. William Leving-
ston. Part Of the time he owned the
farm in his own name Of William A.
Rockefeller, but that secret was buried
in the records Of the county registrar
Of deeds, eighteen miles away, and his
neighbors never knew Of 1t.
For two years the newspapers and
magazines Of this country have search
ed for the father Of John d. Rockefel-
Ter. Ida M. Tarbell began the hunt,
and the results Of her quest were pub
lished in McClure's Magazine in July,
1905. She traced the old man to Cleve-
land to which city he moved with his
family In 1885. She lost him there

Gilbert Sem was brought into court.
He was heavily irOned He was well
guarded. There had been some talk
which had worried the authorities,
weak, foolish, irresponsible, talk, Of
course, but even towards and fools may
do mischief which the wise and brave
can never undo. Senn's guards were
watchful-very watchful-and a close
observer would have noticed that they
watched Sem less than is usual in the
case of man charged with capital
crime. They took off his handouts as
soon as he was fairly inside the court
room. They evidently half expected
that something serious would happen.

THE necessities Of the
L theatre make it inn
possible for actors always
to present happenings as
they would be in real life.
On the stage everything
must be condensed. Thus,
in the melodrama, the hero
is rendered insensible in
two or three seconds by
having a chloroformed
handkerchief pressed on
his mouth. In real life, of
course, chloroforming is an
operation which takes a
certain amount of time. In
many cases, too, if people
were chloroformed in real
life as they are on the
stage, they would die then

with "reverses" in the mat

latest work, "Dolly Re-

by the London critics to be

says Modern Society, "and
the character drawing is
delightful, while the third

a boisterous kind of way.
The last act is in two
scenes, of which one seems
to be unnecessary.
