The IJockefeller Family AHSooiation, lit) strong, and nil bedeck' ed with red ribbon badges bearing "It. F. A." in gold, were the guests of Mr. John D. Rockefeller (("Uncle
John" they called him) at Poncnntico Hills a few ilayH ago. Mr. liockcfcHcr had telegraphed instructions from Cleveland to have everything in apple pic order when his numerous
relative? appeared on the scene.
Although Mr. Rockefeller ban more relatives thnii nny one in Tnrrytown knew, nnd they are growing in numbers annually, few, if any, of them had ever visited their weal
thy relative's entatu at Pocautico Hills. From the time the carriages entered the grounds of the mngnificieut estate until they arrived ut the residence on top of the hill there were
cxchimntioiiH of HtirpriRc at the grandeur of everything. '
The sunken gardens, with figures of hens, fequirrels, jugs nnd other objects out of shrubbery, won the admiration of all. Tho mngnificieut fountains in the middle of the
walks and near tho sun parlor were playing, and tho vihitors stood long looking at the rare spectacle. The sun parlor was visited, but nono tarried long enough to take a bath. On the
other Hide was another fountain pret ilv fenced in with shrubbery. The party tthen climbed to tho summit of Kyk-uit Hill, nnd from there admired the gardens and house again.

is a fair one.

The Nntntorium confectionery

Grnnes left Medford on August
31st, stating that he was going to
Portland whero he was to be a wit

the federal courts. Since that time
nothing is known to have been heard
from him. Ho left his place in
ohargo of his clerk and tho business
has been conducted by him until last
night when tho shuttors were drawn
by process of law.
Cranes loused the room from the
uutatorium owners and did a splend
id business for tho soveu or eight
months ho ran it and the place was
doing well whon closed, but the fact
that Gaues was given to frequent
trips to Portland ho is thought to
have absorbed tho profits from the
