CARNEGlE'S HELPING HAND.
II Will Hold as High IS $4,000 a
Day for Pittsburg's Poor.

PITTSBURG, Dec. 2S.-Andrew Car
negie. who Is to sail for Egypt from
New York Jan. 4, has written a letter to
Robert Pitcairn, OF the Pennsylvania
Railroad, regarding the proposed work
of the Citizens Relief Committee here
among III unemployed men. He says:
My Dear Friend: In reply to yours of the
ed inst. let me say that l think the rich peo-
pie Of Pittsburg will see that no sober, in
dustrious workman. the head Of a family, suffers
during the next two Winter months for work
sufficient to keep him and his family In food.
fuel and shelter.
This was the purport OF my talk with Messrs.
Higelow and Thomson. when | last saw them in
Pittsburg, and since then with Chairman McCon-
Grafton In any scheme devised for giving work.
You say your committee thinks It desirable
that | should state what l am prepared to do.
MY reply is that l shall give for this purpose
an equal sum to that which the citizens Of
Pittsburg contribute up to IS. 900 per working
day during the next two months.
Mr.. Carnegie goes on further to speak
OF Pittsburg's ability to care for Its
worthy poor, and says there should be
no difficulty in raising the proposed
$500, 600. He closes his letter with a
prophecy of better times soon to come.
1t has been already published in New
York that In addition to his cash contri-
buttons, Mr.. Carnegie will aid the work
ingmen by keeping his big steel mills at
work. all Winter. taking contracts even
at a loss to do SO.

Man Menaced by Woman.

To tho Editor:
Women are taking the means Of livelihood out
OF the hands Of the men in nearly everything:
consequently men who would be Just to them
selves. their wives and families must look upon
every woman worker as a natural enemy.
Noman's position In life was ordained by the
Almighty as a companion and %helpmeet to mar"
and by the law Of nature 1t must always remain
So Women are physically incapable OF doing
mems work. and when they attempt II the result
Ia always more or 'ess a failure. A "womaniy
woman all men respect, but a manly woman"
never. Here you have the reason why women are
SO little respected here. (see the crowds OF
women standing. night and morning, In the cars
and ferries. while the men are seated.) 1t seems
10 me time that men should take steps to protect
them before IL IL TOO late. and I would like
to see O MEMS Protective Union established,
where each member should pledge himself not to
work with women or where women are employed
in place OF men. and I would be pleased to join In
starting such movement. 1t seems to me to be
the duty OF men to uphold the dignity Of the
women II hey are unable to do It themselves. and
q boycott on the part Of the men will. l think.
prevent many women doing work that should
rightly be done by men.

A Plea for Husbands Who Smoke

1t does not pay to be over-particular
about cigar-ashes and pipes. says a
writer in Donahoe's Magazine. 1t does
not make any difference how much a man
loves his wife. he loves his tobacco al
most as well. He car worry along for
a greater time without her than without
the fragrant weed. lust let him enjoy
the latter in his own way and you will
see more Of him than you would other
wise. Now, enjoyment Of q cigar Is
not compatible with a constant effort to
remember where the ash tray is. and he
will take a delight in ticking off the
ash on the floor with his little finger
that ia beyond the comprehension Of the
most enlightened feminine mind. He
usually smokes in the same place and
the little pile of ashes can be easily
located and emoved every morning.

What a Woman Ought to Resemble.

Speaking of women Il philosopher once
remarked: There are three things which
a good woman ought to resemble in one
particular. but not in another. Thus.
she ought to be like the snail. which
always keeps in the house, but she
should not copy its example In putting
all she possesses on her back. She
should resemble the echo, which never
speaks unless spoken to; but she ought
not, like the echo. always try to have
the last word. Lastly, she ought to be
as true and correct as the town clock.
but she ought not, like the clock, to
make noise enough to be heard all over
the town"
