STOPPING THE WASTE OF WATER

TIE city authorities have made good
besinning in their efforts to stop the
waste OF water. The number OF persons
who have been placed on the docket for
wasting water shows that they are very
much In earnest
But Will the water inspectors and the
police continue TO be visiiant 10 search
ing FOR those who are offenders against
the ordinance prohibiting the wasting of
water? Whether they will or not depends
largely on the Mayor and the water COM
mittee. II vigor and intelligence are
shown in enforcing the ordinance 1t Will
not he very long before there Will be
notable diminution of the amount of water
that will have 20 be pumped TO meet the
water demand. II. however, the inspec-
tors and the police become Indifferent In
the discharge of the duty. which the or
dinance imposes on them. the movement
10 check the wasting Of water will amount
10 nothing. The ordinance, like the or

To accomplish the object aimed at tire
less vigilance IS necessary.
There Is no doubt that hundreds of
thousands Of gallons of water are vast
ed in this city daily. II Is not improba bic
that some of this waste is due to leaking
water pipes. There ought to be thor
ough investigation of the pipes. Such an
investigation would cost something, but
IL leaks were found and closed the saving
would be far greater than the cost of in
vestigation.
The decision to get rid of water wasting
closets as fast as possible is a good one.
1t Is time anyway, from the standpoint of
health, that the out-of-date closets were
replaced by those of a later and better
pattern With better closets and close
watch for those who waste water pur-
poseiy or carelessly, the amount of water
required for the city's needs ought to be
so much reduced that the present wells
would furnish an ample supply for a de-

,rR. cARNEG1E,s PHILANTHROPY

Mr.. Carnegie says that he intends to de-
vote the remaining years of his life to dis
tributing his great fortune among phiIan-
thropic objects. There are several state
ments as to the size of his fortune One
puts IL at s100010,O00 another at Sl5O000-
CO., and stiE another al S20O,OOO,OOD. 1t is
safe to say that il is much more than 100
100000. During the last twenty-five wears
he has given away more than $l7O00.0O0.
If 1t is his purpose to give away the bulk
of his great fortune, ne viii have as much
as he can attend to during the remainder
OF his life to answer begging leuers-that
IS, II he pays any attention to such let
ters He has only one child, daughter.
and he says that ii is his purpose TO leave
her only a moderate fortune.
In answer to question why he sold out
his great iron works-the greatest in the
world, according to his estimate-he said il
was not because he had any fear of trusts
he had no fear of them-but because he
made up his mind long ago that he would
not spend his old age in business. strug-
Cling for more millions. He believes In a
useful, dignihed unselish retirement after
the age of sixty.
1t is certain that Mr.. Carnegie win have
an income of $5,OOO,OoO year, and proba-
bly, great deal more. His iron and stee,
works have yielded from 81 900 900 10 $40 Oe0
600 year for many years. and 1t is there
fore reasonable to suppose that his fortune
is much larger than the amount that ne
gets for those works. The sum for which
he sold the works is said 10 be 500 900 eco
Mr.. Carnegie undoubtedly enjoyed MAX
ing the great fortune he has, and he win
enjoy distributing it. He will find employ
ment in searching out worthy objects for
charity, and in helping those who need
help he Will find contentment, and content
ment is happiness. And il is wiser plan
TO donate his wealth to WORTHY oh
Jects than to leave all of it to his daugh-
ter, to whom it might prove a burden. if
not an obstacle to happiness.

We dream your deeds, old heroes, and

He talked. and talked, and talked. Time
