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.

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 ise was a young man with his foot on. the first rung of the ladder. Seaforth ewes its library to Mr. Carnegie, and h melreis of these institutions were ' erected in the United States at his rvx p en s e. But in ,dealing out library ' funds he - was ELS cautious as when I making a deal- in steel. He always,,1 insisted that the muniCipality should agree to support the institutions and spend a _specified amount upon them each year. He was a practice' sympathizer with college professors and -establish- ed a great trust lewd whereby, Amer- ioa.n and Canadian professors after having served a certain number of 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.
