 Letter to Phoenix WOOlen Co.,, StGford0ille, Conn. Dear Sirs: Some think we take good deal of risk in inviting complaints of Devoe lead and zinc-we authorize our agent to sell it under this guarantee:
 "f you have any fault to find with this paint, either now in putting 1t on, or here after in the wear, tell your dealer about 1t.
 "We authorize him to do what is right at our expense"
 The following story tells how little the risk is:
 J. H. Asher & Co.,, hardware dealers, Rhinebeck, N. Y., have sold Devoe from '76 to now, and have had just one con- plaint in all this time. Three sides of a house were perfect i; the fourth was as bad as the three were good.
 Explanation-It rained the night before the fourth side was painted; and the painters didn't wait for the wood to dry. What is done in such case? Whatever the dealer, who sold the paint, considers 1t fair to do. We leave 1t to him. He may not do exactly what we should do if we were there; but we are not there. The best we can do is to leave 1t to him. Yours truly, F. W. DEvoE & Go.

MR.. CARNEGIE'S LIBERALITY.
WIN give Three Million Six Hundred
Thousand Dollars for II Build-
ing in Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh, Pa, April lS.-Mr. An
drew Carnegie has promised the trus-
tees of the Carnegie library and insti-
tnte to become responsible for $3,600,-
600, the amount estimated az neces-
sary for the proposed extension and
enlargement of the already fine build
ing at the entrance of Schcnley park,
this city.
When the plans for the enlargement
were submitted to Mr.. Carnegie last
year, the estimate of expenditures was
S1,75O,O00, This sum he readily agreed
to give the institute; but later Is was
thought best to enlarge on the orig
inal scheme, and when the later plans
were submitted to the steel king in
New York last week he willingly as
sumed the added responsibility thus
more than doubling his contribution,
Work on the Improvements will be-
gin as soon as the city can close the
denl for ground necessary for the new
buildings. When completed the struc-
ture will be one Of the biggest in the
world and in architectural beauty will
have few If any equals.
The new building will be Dearly six
times as big as the present. II will
be 500 by 700 feet In size and cover
between six and seven acres Of ground,
In appearance II will resemble the
new congressional library building at
Washington, which is claimed to be at
present the most beautiful nrchi-
tcctural building in America.
AT the annual meeting yesterday Of
the Carneigie library and institute
trustees, II. {, frick, who has from
the inception Of the institute been It's
treasurer, resigned that Office, and c,
