WORK OF PHILANTHROPY.
Andrew Carnegie, the Great Iron and Steel
Magnate, DispOses of His Business
Interests and VIII Retire.

New York, May Oh. c. Frick made
the following statement:
The current rumors that the Carnegie Steel
company, limited and the II. G. Frick Coke
company contemplated combination with other
steel interests were wholly unfounded. What
was in contemplation, and what is now prac-
tically consummated, is the amalgamation into
one corporate organization OF all the proper
ties and interests of the Carnegie Steel COM
pany, limited and the H. G. Prick Coke
company and their subsidiary and allied organ
izations. Practically the only change in the
situation will be the retirement OF Andrew
Carnegie from the organization, he having sold
to his partners his entire interest; Mr. Car
neple's intention being to give his entire time
in the future to the prosecution of HIS great
philanthropic work.

the verdict Moores attorney asked
him MS he bid him good-by to

DIR. De Seydewitz, has stirred up hor-
nets nest in the feminine world by the
issuance of decree whereby all girls
and young ladies attending the public
schools and colleges in Saxony must
abandon the practice of wearing cor
sets and stays. The wearing of
corsets by girls of tender age and the
habit of tight lacing have become so
prevalent, particularly in Dresden, that
the state foresees in the corset a grave
menace to the well being of posterity.
Public opinion approves the minister's
