The Dead Millionaire.

Mr.. Morgan built thoroughly ap-
pOined seminary for $2O0,0O0 and pre-
sented IL to his native village of Clinton,
Conn. On the oath of June, 1870, he Sc
lected four residents of Clinton as trus-
tees to carry his purpose into effect, and
the corner stone was laid Oct. ~, 1870.
After providing for the appointment of
trustees to fill vacancies the deed says
further: "ln order that my motives and
wishes in making this donation may be
faithfully observed and carri ID out, and
that all the people of said town may en-
10y alike the benefits OF said institution,
without hindrance or embarrassme ent, it
is my earnest desire that neither said
buildings nor premises, nor any part
| thereof, shall ever be occupied for any
| political, partisan or sectarian purpose
and that said institution may always be
kept free from those aud like influences"
The building was completed in less than
! two years, and was fully entowed by
Mr.. Morgan with sufficient sum for its
perpetual maintenance. Ths building
was dedicated Dec. Z, 1871. 1t is 20 feet
by go. In the third story is a large hall
with stage and scenery, footlights ana a
and tastHfully laid out, and Mr.. Morgan
made pr ovision for placing there statue
of Rector Abraham Pierson, who taught
the first senior class of Yale College in
the village in l7O1-l7O7. Mr.. Morgan also
ordered IA duplicate of this statue for the
Yale College grounds at New Haven.
/ Mr.. Morgans business was such as he
could keep under his own control. One
J OF the few directorships that he accepted
was in the Pennsylvania Coal Company,
J in which he was a large stockholder.
He never sought prominence in public
| affairs. He was strong and robust up to
within a few weeks Of his death. He
had been complaining a little for some
months, but was continedr TO his bed with
Brights disease only about a month. He
leaves a wife and two married daughters
Mrs. q. W. Quintard, wife of the pro-
prietor of the Quintard Iron Works; and
Mrs. Charles A. Whitney, wife of the
head of the New Orleans branch of Mr..
Morgans business, and President of the
Houston and Texas Railroad. These
daughters are by Mr.. Mprgan's first wife.
1t is understood that his will leaves his
vast estate to his immediate relatives,
and insures the continuance of his eX-
tensive business for the benefit of his rel
atives. Mr.. Morgan accumulated his
vast fortune in legitimate trade. His
word was as good ;is any mans bond Ii
is known that he expended large sums
where he was not legally bound to do So
merely because he thought he had given
his promise. The funeral services are to
be performed on Saturday in the Rutgers
Presbyterian Church, at Madison avenue
and Twenty-ninth street.

American Manufactures i'm
Iron and Steel.

1t would seem that Massachusetts, is
losing the manufacture of agricultural
impliments and machinery, which is be-
ing transferred to the W'st, which is the
principal market for that description of
goods. But new industries in iron and
steel are rapidly growing up to supply
the loss. In table cutlery and pocket
knives the Massachusetts, makers already
excel the Sheffield makers in quality and
are rapidly approaching them in cheap
ness. They are ahead of all the world
in the manufacture of scalping knives,
such as our Western Indians use, and
other similar instruments of destruction.
They also excel in axes, saws and all the
tools used by men engaged IN the cutting
and manufacture of lumber. The only
article in the cutlery line in which they
come short is razors. They can produce
as good razor as can be made in Eng
land, but it costs so much that they are
unable TO sell it. The difficulty is that
the grinding of razors has to be done by
hand, and the Yankees excel in cheap
ness only in articles wherein manual Ia
Dor Is the least important and machinery
the most impartant factor in their pro-
duction. We surpass all the world in
the invention of labor saving machinery,
but when it comes to hand work the
price of labor is so high in this country
that our British cousins are able to uu-
dersell us.-N. Y. Herald.
