A CHAT WITH Mr.. PRATT.
The Baltimore PhiIanthroDist Says it Pays
to Found Libraries.

The Baltimore PhiIanrhroDisf Says it Pays
to Found Libraries.
A very Interesting old man who accompanied
the President was Enoch Pratt, the Baltimore
philanthropist. His hair is gray and he dresses
SO plainly that his clothes have a shabby ap-
pearance, yet this man has done much for his
native city, and his name will live after him.
He has great admiration for Mr.. Carnegie,
and came here to see the Allegheny library
dedicated.
In short chat yesterday with reporter
Mr.. Pratt said: 'HFor Is years 1 studied the
library question and wondered what l could
do with my money so that it would do the
most good for my fellows / soon made up my
mind that wouldn't found a college, for even
if it were free. it would be confined to a few,
and that few would be the rich as a rule.
Finally decided TO build library, and three
years ago it was finished. Even then was
dubious and was afraid had made mistake.
Now, 1 believe in fine architecture. large
halls and magnificent oInamentatiOn. / think
the people can learn great deal by studying
these things and they will always be impressed.
l built my library on such scale, and do not
regret it, It has been a success. At the end of
the first year l was astonished with the result,
the work of the second year amazed me, and
last year the records show that 450, 900 books
were taken out read and returned. l am a
happy man. I feel now that have made NO
mistake and neither has Mr.. Carnegie"

Andrew Carnegie Leases Cluny Castle for
Another season-HIs Scotch Valet Now
In PittsburE-A Pretty Custom Repeated
The Iron Masters Servants.
Andrew Carnegie has leased Cluny Cas-
tie, in Scotland, for another season. He
will go there early in the summer. taking
with him his wife and one or two intimate
friends from Pittsb1rg and New York.
Mrs. Carnegie did not come to Allegheny
for the opening Of the public library on &C
count Of the death Of her mother recently.
On his present trip to Pittsburg Mr.. Carnegie
lie accompanied by his Scotch valet. This per-
sonage is a tall, handsome fellow, with red hair
and mutton-chop whiskers. Thomas Irvine by
name. The literary ironmaster got him in the
lOwlands of Shetland, not far from Dumfer-
line, where the Carnegies were born. Irvine is
a remarkably intelligent man, and has seen so
much of the world in travelling with his master
for the past two and a half years that he makes
a most Interesting companion. When on the
road he manages all the passports and luggage
of the Carnegie touring parties. He was with
the Pittsburger as far distant as Russia last
year and Mr. Remnants lectures recall to him
how closely their party was watched all the
time they were in Russia.
The servants of MF. Carnegie's New York
household are all young men and women from
Scotland. The capitalist loves the people Of
his native land, likes their style Of cooking and
housekeeping, and prefers to have them about
him. His establishment could be called Little
Scotland" very appropriately. These de-
pendents look forward every year to the sum
mer's outing, for when their master goes to
Scotland for the season he takes them all over
with him at his own expense, and then gives
them big holiday to visit their own homes

HOW GATHER MET BEN.

A PIttsburg Newspaper Man Who Was Well
Received by the Presidential Nephew
of Alfred Gather. the Friend of Har.
rison-A Pleasing Incident.
Mr.. Carnegie had made up his mind that
no reporters would be allowed on the train
going to Homestead, but with characteristic
push the journals were represented. Mr..
Carnegie knew most of the boys. and he didn't
like to refuse, but he objected to the publicity,
and on this ground declined But there was
one newspaper man in that crowd that he had
met under pleasant circumstances in Glasgow
a year or so ago. and the millionaire hadn't
forgotten him. His name is Harry Gaihter, and
he is already known to fame. As soon as Mr..
Carnegie sighted his blonde locks, he called
out:
''Come here, Gsither. If you will promise
me that you won't write up this trip. would
be glad to have you go with us."
Mr.. Gather made the desired promise, and
Mr.. Carnegie, reaching out his hand, grabbed
the newspaper man and pulled hlm up on the
platform.
''Mr President" he SAID, turning to Mr.. Har-
rison, This is my friend Gather, Pittsburg
writer. whom 1 met in Glasgow"
AS they shook hands, the President stopped
"Gaither. did you say? Let me see. Gather.
Gather. Why, that name is familiar to me.
Do you know Alfred GaitherF' he asked,
Alfred Gather. of the American Express,
do you meanP
YES"
ayes, knew him. He was my uncle, but he
is now dead"
"Why, my boy" said the President, IT am
doubly happy in meeting you. Alfred Gather
was dear friend Of mine. and have never
forgotten him"
It is needless to remark that Harry Gather
enjoyed the trip, and a guest Of Mr.. Car
negie's was well received and nicely enter
tanned.

FIGHTING WITH FIRE.

Proving Ability In the Arr VIII Make somes

Finally Take Place Upon the 1IononEa.
heIa Wharf.
The Monongahela wharf will be very wet
to-day, as the rival engines of Pittsburg
and Allegheny will play for the winning
hand upon this side of the river after all
unless some further correspondence takes
place after midnight, again changing the
programme. The engines will commence to
spout about A. M, the Pittsburg engine
first being taken to Allegheny and weighed
upon the hay scales Of that suburb.
This change was made necessary owing TO
the fact. that the unfortunate Exposition Park
is again flooded with water, due to Wednesday
nights heavy rain.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Armstrong. the Al
legheny judge in the contest notified Chief
Brown and VandeYelde that the water had
covered the ground and compelled the men as
work preparing the platforms to cease opers
ations. Mr.. YandeVelde at once penned re-
ply to the effect that he could not remain in
Pfttsburg longer than to-day. and that il the
water still covered the park at o'clock last
evening he would request that the test take
place as the river to-day. As Chief Jones had
able on the Allegheny wharf, Mr.. Vands-
Velde suggested that the MoDongahela
wharf be selected and asked Tor
an immediate reply. The reply came, Mr..
Armstrong stating that be was agreeable to
the change, although Chief Jones, Of Allie
gheny, preferred posrponement until tho
water at the park had receded. Later in the
evening the Allegheny people sent word that
they would bring their engine over this morn
ing for the test.
Mr.. Julian Kennedy was apprised Of the
change in the programme last evening and he
heartily indorsed it, saying he could not re-
main over another day.
All the details will be carried out as previous
ly provided at the different meetings Of the
Judges

A pleasant little trip, not on the bills,
was made by President Harrison in the

drew up before the Duquesne Club at little
before 10 o'clock very few even of the men,

Some of the Sights.
Rev. DR.. W. H. Milburn, the blind
chaplain to Congress, delivered the second
of his course of lectures at the Second Pres
byterian Church, last evening. The audi
ence present was not large, but it made up
in appreciation what it lacked in numbers.
DIR. Milburn's subject was, "What Blind
Man saw in Paris In it he endeavored to
depict the experiences of the American visitor
to the French capital, and what was to be
learned by it.
As an introduction to his discourse the
speaker said that it seemed like presump-
tion if not paradox, for a blind man to speak
of what he had seen, but he would endeaVor to
some things as clearly visible as if viewed by
one whose optical parts were perfect
The city of Paris had not a counterpart on
earth to-day, nor did its peer exist at any time.
Nineveh, Babylon. Jerusalem, Athens or Rome
in all their magnlfcence could not be COM
pared with it. To one standing in the doorway
of the Church of the Magdalen and looking
about the Place de Concord the many grand
buildings and monuments, whose history
is that of the French people, cannot
but fill the observer with awe. On the
one hand palace whose walls contain to this
day guillotine whose bright blade had struck
off the heads o. some of Frances noblest
princes. On the other the monument crowned
by the statue OF the Goddess of Reason, erected
by an unreasoning popnlace, At. still another
stands grim and silent the Obelisk Of Luxor,
whose every sculptured figure told of the peo-
pies Of many ages. The speaker typihed the
column as a living but silent thing, watching
the ever-changing tide of humanity moving in
review before it, Leaving this point the
speaker in imagination pictured the Arch
of Triumph with its magnificent coverings;
the Place of the Bastile, near to which are the
cafes in which all aristocratic Paris dimes. and
to which the American must go If he wants to
be in the swim. Several amusing illustrations
followed, and then DR.. Milburn went on to
treat of various phases of Partisan etiquette,
etc., and concluded with brief review of IA
nous churches, palaces, streets and bOuleVards
and their frequenters.
Tonight Rev. Milburn will deliver the third
and last of the present series, for which he has
selected as subject What Blind Man Saw
in Washington Forty Years Ago and What He
Sees There Now"

Extra Precautions Taken to Secure the

Extra Precautions Taken to secure the
Presidents Safety.
The Duquesne Clubhouse was hardly itself
yesterday. The presence of . white-gloved
policeman patroling the street before the door
was something unusual The club lines were
drawn tighter for the day, and the ushers and
bellDoys we're instructed not to let anybody,
unless member, pass certain line in the hall
way.
As soon as the President arrived Chief Brown
assigned Officers John Moore and John Ma
loney to act as Presidential guards. Roger
O'Mara, Sol Coulson and some Of the other
detectives also kept close watch on the move
ments of the Executive. He didn't go any
where that he wasn't under the sharp surveil-
lance of these men.
AS for the clubhouse itself the neatest dec.
Grafton was the beautiful American flag that
swayed above the door. 1t was the one
thing outside Of the crowds that first
attracted the attention of strangers. and more
than one was heard to ask what building that
was. and If it was customary to keep flag hang
ing there. The postofice was decorated with
flags and few other buildings here and there
were ornamented, but nothing much in the
decorative line was attempted throughout the
city.

MONEY THAT'S WANTING.


The Deficiency for This Year Stated ns
High as $500, O,OOO-ContrOIler Morrow
Doesn't Think lis So NLuch-C. L.
Mngee's Reasons forIt.
1t has already been stated in The Dis
PATCH that the Finance Committee of
Councils would have a deficiency to meet
this year. but the figures, as was learned
Yesterday, are largely over those announced
some time ago; in fact, nearly doubling the
amount. Yesterday afternoon Pat Foley,
the ex-Chairman OF the ex-Executive Demo-
cratic City Committee, was asked if, as
rumored, he had any definite information as to
how much the city would come short
in its financial status this year. He re-
piled that during Controller Morrows absence
ne had visited the office and demanded as
citizen some insight into the standing OF the
city. He had been shown by the Chief CLERK
figures which showed that the deficiency would
amount to about 100000, and probably the
difference. in round Numbers would not vary
SIS 600 from that amount This, Mr.. Foley
stated, was official, and he was confident that
no very great variation would be shown when
the report Of the Finance Committee would
Immediately afterward Controller Morrow
was seen, and asked If the figures given by MI.
Foley were hguTative or otherwise. The Con-
troller peremptorily declined to give any clew to
the deficiency, which he had already admitted
would exist. When pressed he said with his
usual urbanity, that he would neither affirm
nor deny Mr.. Foley's statement, nor would he
be in any way responsible for the figures which
were given without his knowledge. He did not
think it would amount to $500, 600, but would
not give any range in the matter. He ad-
mirted however, that the Chairman Of the
Finance Committee had been notified OF the
amount of the deficiency on Tuesday.
Several other officials of the city were seen
who thought that from the basis of the S3OO,OOO
deficiency the inillage for the coming year
would be increased from " to- As it was IL
mills last year this means from lSK to IA for
the coming year.
Mr. c. L. Magee last night when asked what
he thought of the possible deficiency, said he
could account for $l50,0O0 of it very easily.
He said in the first place the assessors esti-
mate last year fell $l0,000O00 short which, on
12mill basis, would show how the city was out
$l200O0. Then the estimate for receipts for
licenses fell some $4,000 short, which was
caused by the great falling off in the number
granted. In the coming year this, he thought
would be changed, as the indications were that
more licenses would be issued. As
far as the advance in millage was
concerned he thought il ought to be
borne in mind:that the amount asked for park
mill to the amount of taxation, and it would
no doubt be indOrsed by Councils
1.-The peculiar trouble is" said Mr.. Magee,
''that when any talk is made of an increase in
taxation the suppOsItion is that somebody has
started to Canada with the whole City Treasury
on his back, while the natural increase in valu-
alton and expenses resulting from that and the
growth of the city can very easily account for
such an advance" -si .'..-

MISSED IN A MOMENT.

Peculiar DIsappenrance of an Aged Woman
From the Lake Erie Depot.
Christina Mills, an aged woman, arrived in
this city from Cleveland over the Lake Erie
Railroad, on her way to Homestead to visit
her daughter. Mrs. Thomas H. Baynes. Mrs.
Baynes was to have met her mother at the
depot, but when she arrived ten minutes late
the old lady was not to be found. Inquiries
among the people about the depot gave Mrs.
Baynes the information that her mother had
gone to Schaefer's Hotel for supper, and after
returning to the depot for few minutes, had
left again in the company OF young lady.
Mrs. Baynes called at the Twenty-eighth
ward station house and reported the matter to
the police. She could not understand the
peculiar disappearance of her mother, and had
fear that she had been enticed away from
the depot for some ill purpose. It was thought
she had considerable money with her, but it
was not known how much.
