New York Letter.

Another distinguished New Yorker, Mr.
Andrew Carnegie, while never having been
exactly a resident of this little Pennsyl-
vania town, here entered into the first
contract which furnished the basis of his
great fortune. 1t is not generally known
that Mr.. Carnegie made his first money as
an oil producer. 1t was on farm on Oil
creek about three miles from this town of
Franklin, and an outline of the operations
which has been furnished to me by gen.
tleman acquainted with the circumstances
reads like Rider Haggard's romance of
king Solomon's Mines" The exact local.
ity where Mr.. Carnegie made his first big
money was known as the Story farm. 1t
was barren spot, consisting of hillside
and bottom land, upon which the owner,
William Story, was gradually compound
ing with starvation by trying to raise
enough to keep himself alive. His farm
consisted OF APO acres, and for long time
he tried in vain to sell it for $40 an acre.
Later, when there were symptoms Of oil in
that locality, the shrewd Mr.. Carnegie, with
his Scotch instinct for making money,
came along with few friends and bought
ont Farmer Story's land, paying him $751;
600 therefor. This was great deal more
than Story ever thought his wretched farm
was worth, and great deal less than Mr..
Carnegie expected TO have TO pay Tor II with
the petroleum development coming
down the creek, SO both men
were well satisfied with the
bargain. Mr.. Carnagie and his
friends organized the Columbia Oil Com
pany and proceeded to drill wells on the
farm, with the result of developing the
richest bonanza ever produced on one
farm in the history of the oil industry.
There is no mere guesswork as TO what
this farm poured into the lap of Andrew
Carnegie and his friends. The late David
A. Stewart, the Pittsbnrg iron man. who
was treasurer of the Columbia company.
testified in n lawsuit in Erie, Pa. IN which
he refreshed his memory with the books
of the company, that the Story farm had
produced oil TO the value of between 50. co.,
600 and s., 900. 900. Since that time the farm
has Welded enough 70 run the total up to
$1,000, 600 or more. In the ten years up
TO the time of this lawsuit the production
of the farm had been nearly 200, 600 bar
rels, and in this period dividends had been
declared amounting 10 40l per cent. on the
capital stock. So it was from this bonanza
farm that Mr.. Carnegie received start
which has made him one of the money
kings of the world and enabled him to
contribute key of pure Scotch whisky to
the White House and never miss the
money.

NEW YORK, April 4.-[Special Core
spondence. THE hat question is most
momentous one to all women. So mo-
mentous, indeed, that large family of
girls that know of sat down soberly and
discussed the pros and cons of certain
shapes for whole afternoon, after thew
had all visited the shops carefully and
noted the prevailing styles. And there is
need for all this care and thoughtfulness
Many q woman buys hat that she knows
must last her the whole season, and should
she discover after 1t is all trimmed that
she does not like it, or that it is unbecom-
ing, what awful torture Is the thought of
wearing that hat day in and day out until
new season brings relief. And it's very
hard to tell how hat is going to turn out.
Sometimes the shape may be very pretty
untrimmed, and yet the finished hat
may turn out regular nightmare, and
sometimes the combined colors look very
pretty when they are punched together in
the hand. and 10 when arranged in proper
form on the frame the effect is the most
lnsipid and characterlesS that can be i'm
agined. Avoid, above all things, oh
woman! an insipid hat. Rather have it
too striking than have it too tame. for the
tendency of the day is toward brilliant
and startling effects, and the quiet, unas-
Stunning combinations are decidedly old.
This does not mean, however, that there
must necessarily be gorgeous coloring, for
many of the most exquisite and attractive
hats are those made all in one color and
in one shade of that color
1t is truly bewildering task to select
hat this season. The fashions have not
fairly settled yet, and it is hard to say
which will come out victorious. There are
multitudinous shapes to be seen at present
