and quickest method to attain this
end.

MIR. cARNEGIE'S LIBERALITY.
Will Give Three Million Six Hundred
Thousand Dollars for n BUILD
ing i'm Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh, Pa. April 1S.-Mr. An
drew Carnegie has promised the trus-
tees of the Carnegie library and insti-
tute to become responsible for $780,
COO, the amount estimated as neces-
q for the proposed extension and
enlargement of the already fine build
ing at the entrance of Schenley 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; put 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 oon as the city can close the
deaf 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. 1t will
be 500 by 700 feet in size and cover
between six and seven acres of ground.
In appearance it will resemble the
lew congressional library building at
Washington, which is claimed to be at
