AN AMERICAN
Is Andrew Carnegie. and Too Good
a one to Support McKinley's Elk
pansion Schemes.

NEW YORK, September PA dis
patch to the World from London says:
An English newspaper having de-
clared that Andrew Carnegie would
stand for Parliament for Switzerland
shire, thus casting some doubt upon his
American citizenship, the World cor
respondent telegraphed him asking for
an exact statement in regard to the
matter. This was his reply:
MY father was naturalized in 1855
or 1856 This made me an American
citizen, | being a minor. My natural
ization was unnecessary, but as a mat
ter of precaution | also took out nat
uralization papers in New York City
years ago. I cannot give the exact
dates. The papers are in my private
safe in New York.
ANDREW CARNEGIE"
Mr.. Carnegie denied also that he had
any intention of sitting in Parliament,
asserting that he was an American;
did not intend to cast off his allegiance,
and would only think Of entering public
life at Washington, where he might
combat the attacks upon true Amerl-
canism in the Philippine policy Of the
administration.

At Grafton will Probably Be Removed to a
New Site-Syndicate Buying Lots.
Special to this Register.
GRAFTON, w. Va, September H.
John L. Hechmer, representing a syndi-
cate, purchased about $4,000 worth of
real estate near the South Grafton
bridge, on east Main street. The
property purchased was the Doonan
building, occupied by Fawcett Bros. as
general store; the Donahue and
Moritz properties, the Picket and Glas-
cock properties on the north side of
the street. The object of the deal is to
control available building lots in that
section, and the general impression
now prevails that the removal of the
depot is an assured fact and these pur-
chases were based on information re-
ceiVed directly from B. & 0. headquar-
tiers. Property in that section has ad-
vanced fifty per cent, and, in fact, no
one wants to sell. The company ex-
poets to begin work ON the new depot
by the 10th of the month.

Commander Shaw Believes Part of the
Pension Burdens Should Fall.
NEW YORK, September 12.-Albert
d. Shaw, the new commander in chief
of'the Grand Army of the Republic,
said last night:
"A great deal of my time will be
given to pension legislation. The old
soldier is entitled to lasting considera-
ton. What if the pension roll is large?
The union soldiers saved the nation.
Their reward should be commensurate
with their services. If the burden
should prove too heavy, l am in favor
of patriot pension bond issue, so that
only the interest would have to be met
from year to year. Let posterity meet
the bonds when they mature. Why
not? The country was saved to pos
terity 1t is only proper that a part
of the burden should fall on posterity.''

Beware OF Food samnla..

Quite recently in New York two deaths
occurred from poisoning by the use of
powders sent to the victims by mail. In
Leavenworth, Kansas, the other day near
ly every doctor in town was called to at
tend the children who had gathered up,
eaten, and been made ill by samples of an
article left at houses by %canvassers for ad-
vertising purposes.
Alum baking powders have always been
f~avorite articles for this sampling business.
Yet there is nothing more liable to lead to
danger than the practice of using the var
ious samples of baking powder left at the
door. They are presented BY irresponsible
parties, in appearance are not distinguish
able from arsenic, and indeed, in Indiana
some time since one package was found,
after it had caused the death of the house
wife, to have been mixed with that poison.
1t is safer to refuse all samples of food
or medicine offered at the door, Pure
cream of tartar baking powders sell upon
their merits and are never peddled or sam
pied.
