Carnegie Tells of His Connection with
the Steel Works Trouble.
P1rrsBuRa Jan. 29.-For the first time
since his return from Europe, Andrew Car
negie consented to talk in regard to the
Homestead affair. and spoke freely this
afternoon to an Associated Press corre-
spondent. He SAID he desired to make one
point clear at the beginning. Four years
ago ho retired from active business. and no
confederation in the world would induce
him to return to it. The grent error of
Americans" he said, "is that they endure
until they break down. when they should be
in their prime" He believed in retiring
and giving younger men chance. He had
sold portions of his interests and was
gradually selling more to such young men
in their service as his partners fnd pos
not an officer in the company but
only shareholder. and to the numerous
appeals he received urging him to give in
structions in regard to the recent trouble,
he says he had no power to instruct any
body connected with the company. The
officers were elected for yea. and no one
could interfere with them. Even at the
next election. if he desired to make a
change, he would be powerless to do so as
he was sure he couldn't find one share
holder that wouldn't vote and stand by tue
present officials. II elect to retain nv
capital in the manufacturing business. I

the further reason that my capital is thus

Mr.. Carnegie eulogized General Manager
Frick i'll the highest manner. saying his
four years management stamps him as one
of the foremost managers In the world and
he (Carnege) would not exchange him for
any manager he knows. "A good workman
or an able man," said he, who wishes to
do what is fair and right, will learn to ap
preoate Mr.. Flick. Inefficient officials or
bad, unreasonable and violent workmen he
does not like and these will not thrive with
him."

The Queen as a Gardener.

In former days the queen herself was
fond Of gardening. Each of her children
had little plot of ground to cultivate
and these tiny gardens are even now
kept up carefully, just as the children
left them. The queen was one day tend
ing her flowers at Osborne with water
ing pot and rake in hand, when Mario,
the great tenor, came along. He was on
his way to sing in the palace at the COM
mand of the queen, and being delighted
with the garden had sent his carriage
ahead and was walking alone. Sudden
ly he came upon the lady with the water
ing pot Would you be SO good as to
direct me to the apartments of the
queen~ he asked. "What can you want
there" said the lady. II want the queen

her." ''Vous VOLTA arrive. | am the
