WILLIAM ROCKEFELLER DIES
 AT HOME IN TARRY7CVN, \. Y.

TARRYTOWN, N. Y, June 27. - William Rockefeller, the oil magnate, brother of the famous John D., died here Sunday morning att o'clock fol- lowing an attack of pneumonia. He had been in ill health for many years suffering from cancer of the throat which had practically kept him in se- clusion since 1912.
 Although the active head of the Standard Oil Company of New York from it's establishment in 1865 to 1911 and one of the richest men in America, his prominence was overshadowed by that of his elder brother, John D. Rockefeller, the founder of the Rocke- feller interests in oil, and for many years the head of the parent company.
 They were both born at Richford, Tioga, Co.,, New York, on their farm j; William on May 31, 1841, two years after the birth of John. In Cleveland, O., to which the family removed while the brothers were boys, William began his mercantile career in the produce commission business, as did his broth CT, and joined the latter soon after be became interested in oil, about 1862. The establishment, soon after ward, of branch office in New York, led to the removal of William Rocke- feller to that city to take charge of it. From that time until his retire. ment in 1911 he was the active head of the New York company.

success as an oil magnate, William Rockefeller differed from his brother. He was a club man; his brother be- longed to none. He was interested but slightly in philanthropic work of any kind, or religious activity. Along side the blocks of millions his brother gave away William Rockefeller's larg- est known gift was $100,000 to Welles- ley College. He was an enthusiastic motorist, and saw nothing in golf, of which his brother was such a devotee. He did not enjoy the latter's rugged health. Although there was no known estrangement and they both had sum- mer residences at Tarrytown, N. Y, the brothers were seldom seen to- gether.
 William Rockefeller departed furth- CT afield from the oil industray than did his brother. He was a large fac tor in the railway world, having suc- ceeded Cornelius Vanderbilt as a di- rector of the New York Central rail- road and having been officers or di- rector of a score of other important transportation lines, and as many more miscellaneous enterprises, including large interests in copper, insurance and public utilities.
 On May 25, 1864, he was married to Almira Geraldine Goodsell of Fair field, Conn. He had two sons and two daughter, William G., Percy A., Ethel G., wife of Marcellus H. Dodge and Emma, wife of Dr. David H. McAlpin, Jr.

In every town and hamlet, on every VII
lage street,
There is an anti-clamlet that you arc
bound to meet;
He emulates no oyster when out among
the boys.
But opens up his cut-out. and YOU know
him by his noise
He Is the wisest guy that lives
On everything that goes
And Noah Webster never knew
What Wisenheimer knows.
File is the village wonder. the marvel Of
the town
lie knows the weight of thunder and
why star falls down;
He knows why Pierpont Morgan controls
so many things,
And speaking OF the angels he can name
them by their wings!
He is the king professor
OF everything there is,
And Solomon never had the head
To hold as much as his.
He megaphones his knowledge; to hear
him below. you
Think he might teach a college worth
while thing or two;
And when you hear him spinning his
volumes of romance,
You wonder at the hoi-pollois deplorable
ignorancei
He is the wisest guy that lives,
And you would not suppose
The Three Wise Men knew anything
Compared with what he knows!

pigeons? Lady Dorothy Nevill in a
letter to London newspaper tells how
many years ago she had sent to her
from China a number of whistles made
out of gourds, something like small
organ pipes, which could be attached
with grear ease to pigeons tail The
effect produced by the flight of these
birds with whistles attached was ex-
tremely pretty, resembling Aeolian
harps, the whistles all being Of diff
ferent note. People used to be consid-
erably astonished at such heavenly mu-
sic, and their bewilderment afforded
her great amusement, she says.
