Answers to Correspondents.

To Interested Reader" who asks for
the origin Of the name Rockwell:
The name Rockwell is of Norman orig
I'm. being derived from a town in Nor
mandy called Rocheville.
The first of the family was called "of
Rocheville." or de Rocheville." as the
name first appears upon the records.
History of the family begins with Sir
Ralph dc Rocheville. who accompanied
the Empress Maud into England when
she claimed the throne of that realm
during the Norman conquest, 1866. Sir
Ralph ultimately joined King Henry ii.

ed three knights fees Of land" in the

1t is an unGrateful descendant who
asks for a better record than William
can give. He had been here only seven
months when he was chosen to repre-
sent the town of Ipswich at Boston. He
was town clerk. and il is recorded that
he was TO be paved for his paynes-' He
took part in the trial of Anne Hutchin-
son. whom he knew when she was in
London and he was free to acknowledge
that the views she entertained were. to
say the least. peculiar. although he was
inclined to judge her not too harshly.
He died 1851. and the inventory OF his
property shows that among other arti-

InHratiating Personality.

1t has been said that Leo Ditrich-
stein is the most ingratiating person
ality on the American stage. Mr.. Dit
richstein has furnished the gallery of
American art in the theater with in
Vulnerable character studies and the
prototypes have always been present
ed with distinction and artistry.
In his latest comedy entitled The
Great Lover" now on view at the
Longacre Theater in New York. Dit
richstein is at his best. THE Great
Lover" is partly his work and partly
the work of frederic and Fanny Hat

times to the heights of high comedy
punctuated with many dramatic cli-
makes that make for the most effec-
tive piece of theatrical literature that
has graced the American stage in

HISTORY BUILDERS.
An Appeal Which Reached Home.
BY DIR. z. J. EDWARDS.

Il Was reminded this morning by some
thing that happened in my Office of an
incident with which William II. Wander
bilt was prominently associated and
which furnished a fairly good sidelight
upon some features Of his character and
personality" said the late Charles &.
Clarke. who was for nearly fifty years
associated with the Vanderbilt family in
the building up and operation Of the
Vanderbilt railroad system.
"One of the several almoners to whom
Mr.. Vanderbilt referred each day the ap-
peals for loans or gifts that came to him
found one rlornig letter dated from a
city in the midwest which contained a
new and unprofessional berging scheme.
Almost all the appeals which were made
to Mr.. Vanderbilt were readily recoS
nized as those of professional beggers.
He therefore put this letter aside, think.
ing il might amuse Mr.. Vanderbilt 10
read IT.
AT the first convenient moment, the
almoner gave the letter TO Mr.. Wander
bilt, saying. I thought you might like 10
see this letter because il is out of the
usual run.
AS soon as Mr.. Vanderbilt read the
letter there came whimsical smile to
his lips and he said. Ask Mr.. Clarke to
step into my Office as soon as conven-
lent
..As soon as the message was delivered
TO me. ! went into Mr.. Vanderbilt s Of
Ace. and had hardly reached the
threshold and closed the door when he
said to me: Didn't you go with me on
an inspection trip to Chicago six or
seven years ago vheE 7 bought a horse
from a Michigan member of congress?
'I told Mr.. Vanderbilt that I remem-
bered that horse and the importantly OF
the CONGRESSMAN who wanted to sell IL.
Still smiling. Mr. Vanderbilt asked me
II he got the best OF the bargain. and in
reply | said: What a question: Did you
ever get the worst of one when you
bought horse?
He then said that the man had writ
ten the letter which he held in his and.
saying that he had got the best horse OF
the kind in the West for at least one
thousand dollars less than he was worth.
The man complained bitterly OF his lot.
He had lost almost everything he had by
going into politics. The politicians bled
him after they had nominated him for
congress. and II would have been cheaper
for him If he had been defeated because
his single term in congress cost him prac-
tically all he possessed.
Mr.. Vanderbilt asked me what
though of the letter. and I'ssid that l
was sure that the man was telling the
truth. I was also sure that the horse
was worth a thousand dollars more than
was paid for him.
Mr.. Vanderbilt agreed with me, and
then he told the almoner to have a check
for thousand dollars made out to the
order of this man and in writing to him
say that Mr.. Vanderbilt was sending the
money to give the man A new start. and
that il he ever found another horse like
that one to let him know.
"A year later. Mr.. Vanderbilt told me
that he had made a good investment OF
that thousand dollars because il had set
the unfortunate ex-consressman on his
feet"
