ROMANCE IN CARNEGIE'S LIFE.
Proud OF His Sweetheart, Introduces
Her to Gen. Scott, Who Won Her.

Interesting stories of the early life of
Andrew Carnegie are being recalled
since the negotiations for his retirement
from the steel business began. Many Of
the stories center around the days when
Mr.. Carnegie was superintendent of the
Pittsburg division of the Pennsylvania
railroad, at a time when he was just be-
ginning to enter the iron business from
which grew the S400.000000 properties
Just sold to J. Pierpont Morgan. Mr..
Carnegie at that time lived in a little
fra me cottage that still stands at Penn
and Lang avenues, with his mother, of
whom he was passiOnately fond. His
brother, Thomas ". Carnegie, had mar
ried earlier and lived not far away.
One story of an early courtshp that
displayed the strong character of Mr..
Carnegie was recalled by the recent
death of Mrs. Thomas \. Scott, widow
of Gen. Thomas 4. Scott, who was for
years president of the PENNSYLVANIA rail
road. 1t was along in 1864 and Mr..
Carnegie was paying attentions to Miss
Annie Riddle. the tall, graceful and
PittSburg Gazette. Mr.. Carnegie was
young then and fascinated, and he
thought SO much Of his young sweet
heart that he arranged one day, during
a visit of Mr.. Scott. his superior, to have
the latter meet his Annie
President Scott was older. widower and
one If the hands0mest and most enter
tanning men in the United States. He
had largely made young Carnegie what
he was then, and the latter fairly wor-
SHIPPED his patron. And his desire to
have Mr.. Scott meet Miss Riddle was in
the nature of bestowing an honor upon
his friend.
Young Carnegie confided his intentions
to a friend. but the latter disapprOved of
ten arrangement and doubted the wis
dom of the act. He pointed out that Mr..
Scott was so handsome. so dignitied and
SO accomplished. so winning when he
wanted to be, and--he was Il widower-
he was sure to woo and win the sweet
young girl. But young Carnegie was
proud and stubborn, and his only reply to
his friend was that If any other man IN
the world could win his sweetheart away
from him he did not want her.
The introduction took place. The
handsome Mr.. Scott wooed and won and
wed. and when he died some years later
he left his widow many millions and a
number of children. Mr.. Carnegie did
not marry until late in life, his strong,
determined character beng exhibited in
full business life, in which he accumulat-
ed ten times the wealth and distinction
of his patron Of the later Cos. His happy
married life in New York. IN wealth the
peer of any in the world, his worship
not money. though he has it beyond the
dreams of avarice-his worship--his wife
and daughter, his delight to do good, are
well known to every Pittshurgcr. The
incident of early life was told to illus
trate the strong character of the present
steel king as brilliant young Pitts
burger, and the fact that while he would
defy hate he would play second fiddle to
no man.

Il was important, therefore, to propitiate

she had done once before. On that 0cca
