Thousand Men Busy Putting New
Tarrytown Summer Home
Unto Shape"

TARRYTOWN. July 27-John d. Rock
efeller will take over his new summer
home today. Three or four vanloads of
furniture have already been installed I'M
der the supervision of John d. Rockefel-
Ter, jr. The exterior Of the house is prac-
tically finished. 1t is large three-story
building of brick and stone with a gable
roof. slated, of the colonial style of ar
chitecture.
Only portion of the interior work has
been completed. however AS for the
grounds. there is enough work laid out
and still undone to occupy a large force
of workmen for months to come.
Facing the entrance to his place there
is an elaborate series of miniature water
falls. cascades and pools, which are now
not more than started. One of these pools
will be a fish pond, while another will be
used as a swimming pool. A third, called
the wilderness pond, laid out more or less
as a serpentine. will be supplied with
water through large ornamental rock
pierced with pipes for water.
The hillside facing the Bedford road is
being terraced off and inches left in the
inserting statuary. This will be at the
rear of the house, which turns its back on
the road
About 3C0 feet from the house a building
is being erected called the playhouse"
which is thought to be intended for Mr..
Rockefeller's grandchildren. This is con-
nected with the residence by a tunnel. or
half sunken covered passageway, which
also communicates by a row of steps with
the little pools on the hillside.
Two walls of stone are being erected
around the house, making ii accessible
only at the gateway. Along the hill
side thousands of shrubs, plants and trees.
many OF which are foreign species, are
already set out. Single specimens Of some
of the exotic growths are said to have
cost Mr.. Rockefeller high as 5000
apiece.
On the borders Of the lawn. which, in
Guiding Mr.. Rockefeller's golf links at his
front door. must he couple of hundred
acres in extent. are planted scores of fir
trees, transplanted full grown from their
original forests. Mr. Rockefeller's i'm
mense stables are in a hollow out of
sight of the road.
Mr.. Rockefeller has nearly 1000 men
working for him. About half of these are
in his ..irect employ. looking after the
estate and the other half are engaged by
the contractors who have the building op-

TO ENTERTAIN THE FLEET
CHINESE ARE MAKING BIG
PREPARATIONS FOR OCTOBER.
Sorry Annoy Was Selected as the
Port Of Call, But Will Do
Their Best.

PEKING, July 27.-The Chinese govern
ment is completing its preparations for the
entertainment of the officers and fleet OF
American battleships at Annoy, where the
visiting men-of-war are due to arrive
the latter part of October. The original
| sum of 100000 taels, appropriated by
China for purposes of welcome and for
the entertainment has been augmented by
| another 100000 taels. This addition has
been made necessary by the isolation and
comparative inaccessibility of Annoy, the
Chinese port selected by the Washington
government
There are practically no facilities at
Annoy for the entertainment of such a
large body of men. and China has given no
of the-way and unsatisfactory spot was
selected for the call Furthermore, China
has been placed in a position of consider
able embarrassment and difficulty in this
cret as possible her preparations as we'll
as her determination to give a BETTING
welcome to the American warships.
This arises from the humiliation China
experienced from the fact that only part
of the feet will visit China, as compared
to the calling of all the vessels in Japan;
from the criticism that the government Is
extravagant in approprtating 100000 taelS
for entertainment, and also from the pro-
posal that the fleet come to a port on or
north Of the Yangtze was vetoed for
fear that Japan or both countries would
misinterpret the true meaning of the visit.
Will Be Bang-Up Entertainment.
Still the authorities show great pride in
what they are undertaking for the enter
tainment of the Americans. and they are
determined that the visitors shall have
no doubt whatever as to the genuineness
of. their welcome. DIR. George Mark. the
Chinese commissioner on arrangements,

Important developments are looked for.
About twenty witnesses. supposed to have
some knowledge of circumstances leading
up to the girls death, will be examined.
The three physicians who performed the
autopsy on the body will be required to
relate again their findings. In view of
the fact that there were some diversities
Of opinion among the physicians 1t Is
not unlikely that their testimony before
the coroner will reveal additional facts.
There is a growing tendency among GER
tain officials to regard as plausible the
theory that the girl came to her death
either by accident or suicide. Every shred
of evidence will be thoroughly thrashed
over at the inquest, which is expected to
occupy the better part of the week.
After the witnesses living In the vicinity
of Tears pond have been examined the
coroner will transfer the sessions to the
courthouse in Troy. where witnesses living
In this city will be heard.
William Taylor and Frank Smith have
been permitted to return to their houses.
They will be examined again during the
coroner's inquest.

will superintend the construction Of prop

posed street parade, the arrangements for
theatrical entertainments, and the ade-
quate lighting of the city.
The program includes banquets to the
officers and men who will be entertained
in two big parties. Three thousand Amer
lean sailors and marines will be dined at
one time. They will be given souvenirs
Of their visit. and there will be series Of
sports on shore and continuous perform

The charges made by the foreign press

were denied at the legation with emphasis.

An Old Manx Custom.

From the London Standard
In accordance with a very ancient custom
the governor and both branches of the
Manx legislature assembled on Tynwald
Hill yesterday for the proclamation Of new
statutes passed during the year. Seven
teen acts. which arrived only on Saturday,
bearing the kings approval. were pro-
claimed by reading a summary of the pro-
visions. first in English and then I'm the
Manx language. The day was a general
holiday in the island and the weather was
very fine. There was a great gathering OF
interested spectators. the ma jority of
whom were visitors. During the subse-
quent proceedings of the Tynwald court it
was stated that during the past year no
intoxicant had been used by the inmates
of the Manx workhouse.

felonious assault. Later. when Andrew
Anderson and John Bremen identified
Tobin as the man who fired the revolver.
a charge of felonious assault was pre-
ferred against him. Moran was made the
complainant.
Moran was taken to Fordham Hospital
The bullet had penetrated his left breast
near the heart. and lodged just inside the
skin. Moran said he wasn't hurt, and
before he could be locked up on charge
of disorderly conduct, so that the police
could have him on hand when they ar
raign their prisoners in court today, he
got away.
Policemen Berner had his hand cut in
the fight and six or seven other police
men got bad bruises. A score of uni

SCIENCE NOTES.

The varying thickness of the skin has
been the barrier in the way Of the per-
lection of a machine for pairing oranges,
but this has been overcome and device
has been recently designed by which this
is accomplished. Oranges are now used
very extensively in the preparation OF
summer beverages. and. as the skins have
commercial value. it Is desirable to save
this part of the fruit. The machine grips
the fruit at opposite points and holds 1t
while II is revolved and a knife passes
around it in the same manner as the
familiar appleparer. The knife is ADJUST
able to meet the demands Of the different
qualities of fruit.
The engineer of western railroad has
devised a rail-loading apparatus which
has a capacity for handling eight rails
at one time. This work is usually done
by hand, and the operation Is a long and
tedious one because Of the weight and
unhandy shape of the article being
shifted. The proposition before the in
ventor in this case was somewhat COM
plicated from the fact that 1t Is the prac-
tice TO pile rails In alternate layers, the
first heads up and the next heads down.
So that they will pile properly. This de-
vice consists of two straight bars of
tor so as to have a span a few feet less
than the length of the rails to be handled.
To each yoke are attached eight bifur-
Gated hooks. the two parts Of which are
about an inch apart, SO that they strad-
die the web Of the rail and catch under
either the base or the head. according
to the way the rail is lifted. whether head
up or head down. The hooks are
strung along the yoke on heavy chains at
the proper distances for piling rails in
the customary fashion, one layer with
heads up and the other heads down. the
latter fitting between the rails OF the first
layer The device Is swung from the
boom of a locomotive crane, which is
placed at one end of the fiat car to be
loaded or unloaded. The handling Is done
by first picking up eight rails heads up.
and placing them on the car, then follow
ing with the next lot OF rails. heads down.
SO as to pile properly. The necessary
splice bars are piled on two rails held
by the hooks. and then hosted to place.

of crawling stifhy about with little hand

with the same majestic air that he would

ering the point to whatever height above
the floor he wants it. If he desires to
make deep cut and is running with the
grain of the wood, he can press the point
down hard, while If lighter work is need
ed he can merely skim over the surface.
