troduce the Bessemer process in the
several mills that he had acquired.
By the end of 1888, he controlled
eight great steel rail and bridge
mills, the largest of them being the
Homestead. steel Works. These were
later consolidated into the Carnegie
Steel Company, with a capital of
$90,000,000, and eventually became
the United States Steel Wiest.
When the trust was organized,
Carnegie sold ont his interest for
$300,000,000 in steel bonds, leaving
to his former partners, .numbering
some forty, the preferred and corn -
Mon stock. Having sold out, Mr,
Carnegie devoted his remaining
years to his philanthropies and
philosophizingse He was something
like Mr. Ford in that he was mbst
ready to express an opinion on any
subject, but unlike Mr. Ford, no
question was ever raised as te his
ability toeread and write. Indeed,
he is on record as saying that if
Wagner and Shakespeare were taken
out of his life he would be poor in-
deed. He had also words of approval
for Homernd other struggling
si
geniuses. Tho gh' a Scotchinan by
birth, he beca e an American citi-
zen when his father was naturalized,
and took great glory iri his adopted
country.- In his book "Triumphant
Democracy," he • contrasted Britain
with the United States, much to the
disparagement of the former. He
was greatly interested in universal
peace, and spent some millions of
dollars upon the famous Peace Pal-
ace af The Hague.

ANDREW CARNEGIE DEAD
Andrew Carnegie, the steel magnate
and philanthropist, died at his Lenox,
Massachusetts, stunner home, "Shad-
ow Brook," at 7.10 Monday morning;
after an illness of less than three days
with bronchial pneumonia. So indden
was his death that his daughter, Mrs.
Rosewell Miller, was unable to get
to her father's beside' before he died.'
His Wife and private secretary were
with him at the end.
Mr, Carnegie had spent most of
the summer in ILenox, going there
in May, and up to a few weeks ago
enjoyed himself in almost daily fish-
ing trips on Lake Mahkeenac, which
borders his bin Shadow Brook estate,
and in about his grounds. ,
• He was taken ill Friday, and grew
stadily worse. His advanced age
and lessened powers of resistance
hastened the end.
Mr. Carnegie leaves his wife, swho
was Miss Louise Whitefield, of New
York, and his daughter, Margaret,
who married last April Ensign Rose-
well Miller, of New York;
Although Mr. Carnegie, who was
in his eighty-fourth year, had been
an invalid since 191.7„ when he suf-
fered an - attack of grippe, the news
of his death was a shock to old friend
and former business associates Since
his previous serious illness he had
been under the .care of two nurses.
Identified so long with the interne- ,
tional peace movement, Mr. Carnegie
was said to have been, more severely
affeeted by the world war than most
men. It came as a hard blow to him
and the cause which he had so close
at heart.
Mr. Carnegie had given away
$350,695.653 up to June 1st, 1918, a
compilation of his benefactions pre-
pared by the Carnegie Endownment
for international peace shows.
Andrew. Carnegie, Laird of Sldbo,
is dead, and the world evil wait with
interest to see whether he fulfilled his
implied promise when he made the
famous assertion that it was a
crime for a man to die rich. One
does not need to see his probated
will to know that he died much
poorer than he might, had his am-
bition' been to leave great riches for
those who came after him. It has
been estimated that in his time he
gave away $350,000,000, which is
iar mare than any other man ever
,lisbursed in his lifetime unless an,
exception is made of John D.
Rockefeller, who certainly kas given
away hund d of millions. Mr .
Carnegie's chief benefices were in the
form of libraries. He had an almost
childlike confidence in the wonder-mak-
in- powers of reading, and attributed
_mesh of his oven success to a library
!hat wasplacedat his disposal when

years and reached a certain' age
might retire and draw a pension for
life from the Carnegie endowment.
It is interesting to recall that when
President Wilson retired as the
head of Princeton to become Gov-
ernor of New ',Jersey he applied to
the Carnegie trustees foe an allow-
ance from the fund, and put up a
strong argument why he should par-
ticipate in it The trustees, however,
refused his request, on the ground
that he was about to draw a large
-salary as Governor of the State. This
action on the part of Mr. Wilson
was gravely censured at the time,
as it was felt that as Governor of
New Jersey he should be independ-
dent of any private citizen. How-
ever' • the President's subsequent care
eee has proved that any such in-
debtedness as he might have been
urnier to Mr. Carnegie or any other
friend would never have been per-
mitted to stand in the way of his
own cereer.
Andrew Carnegie was born at
Dumfermline, Scotland, and came
to the United States as a boy with
his father. The .• Carnegie fa,mily
settled near Pittsburg, and Andrew's
firet job was as - bobbin. boy in a
mill, working from daylight 'to dark
for 81 a week. At fourteen he was
earning $2.50 a week as errand boy
in the offices of the Ohio Tele-
graph ,CompanY at Pittsburg, and
was the main support of his family.
When the Pennsylvania Railepad
was completed Pennsylvania he.
took a position with Thomas A.
Scott, • the superintendent, and . re-
ceived e35 a month. He remained.
with the railroad for several years,
displaying 'great industry and keen-
ness. It is said that he originated the
system of running trams by telegra-
phic signals -between stations, thus
enuring the maximum of safety with
greater speed. When Mr. Scott was
elected vice-president of the -road,
Carnegie succeeded him as superin-
tendent of the Pittsburg division. By
this time he had acquired a little
capital, for he was drawing a good
salary, and on Mr. Scott's advice had
mortgaged his home for almost its
full' amount in order to buy ten shares
of the Adams Express Cempany Stock.
He , had another stroke of -fortune
when hee became interested in . the
inventer of a sleeping car, intioduced
him to Mr.. Scott and later on kelped
orgeniee the company. It was the
profits from this enterprise that laid
the foundations of his- forttme. Short-
ly afterward, with two friends, he
bought a farm, on which oie1 had
been found, for $40,000. In one
year the dividends amountod to a
million dollars, and the company's
stcok was worth $5,000,000. Carnegie
was now a capitalist. He organized
