Andrew Carnegie evidently doesn't
mean to die disgraced If he can help it.
He is giving away money at rate that
will soon make an impression on even
the fortune which he is supposed to
have, or, at least, the income of it, Yes
terday he celebrated his retirement
from business life by giving away S.
100000, $l,000,000 of which is to be for
the maintenance Of the libraries built
by him in Braddock, Homestead and
Duquesne, and $4,000,000 is for the bene-
fit of needy and worthy employees of
the Carnegie company and those depen-
dent on them.
AS things go in this rather greedy
world 1T is wonderful that man should
be so considerable of those who have
helped him to prosper as Mr.. Carnegie
has shown himself to be. We are afraid
his example will not find many imita-
tors among those who can afford to
initiate 1T. But it is good one all the
same, and shines in naughty world.
Mr.. Carnegie says he has only just be-
gun to give away money. 1t is to be
hoped that he will live long enough to
satisfy his own idea of the proper use
OF great wealth. 1t Is so different from
the prevailing idea that it will be ex-
tremely interesting to see how it works

THE REFINING OF PETROLEUM.
A Simple Process for Making the Crude

A Simple Process for Making the Crude
| Oil Fit for Use.
The refining of petroleum, or prepa-
ring it for Illuminating and lubricatine
purposes, is one of the new departments
of industry created during the early
oil days, and is now giving employment
| to hundreds of men in western Penn
sylvania. Its object is two-fold; to free
the liquid from impurities, with their
offensive smell, and to render 1T mex
plosive. In both the most triumphant
success has attended the efforts made,
and cheap rock oil, as 1t affords the
cheapest and most brilliant light, is
safe and inoffensive.
The process of refining oil from moth
er earth ies simple in the extreme, and in
spite Of all the boasted improvements
In the methods of refining oil, 1t re-
mains a fact that the chief purifying
agent which was used in the early re-
ffneries is used In substantially the
same manner to-day
The first process In distilation, after
pouring the crude oil in tanks in the
ground, Is to pump 1t into the stills.
AT Franklin there are number of
these stills, each having a capacity Of
thousands of gallons. They are made
of heavy boiler plate, capable of with
standing very high pressure, the Ii
quid being raised to heat of four and
five hundred degrees Fahrenheit.
The stills being duly charged and
closed, a fire is applied in the furnaces
underneath each morning at about six
O'Clock. At six o'clock In the evening
they are generally emptied As the oil
evaporates under such powerful heat,
the gas passes into worm" or Con
denser," long slender tube immersed
in a current of cold water, which causes
the vapor to return to the liquid condi
ton.
On emerging from this tube, the oil
has whitish blue or blush white col
or instead of it's native dark green hue.
From the condenser it is passed into the
receiver" a large tank, out of which
it is transferred without undergoing
any further change, into the testing
tank or "agitator," This may be of
any size, provided 1t allows for mixing
thoroughly and in due proportion the
'distinate" Che name given to the pc
troleum in that stage), with sulphuric
acid (oll Of vitrioD.
The quantity of acid usually assigned
to thirty barrels of oil Is between five
and six pounds, which, after it is
is stirred or agitated by means
of strong current of oil or iron pad
dies, for about ten minutes. The OBJ
ject Of this process is to separate from

SAME OLD STORY.

Even as prohibition doesn't prohibit
in Maine so doesn't the "dispensary"
in South Carolina do what it was orig
inally intended to do. Some of the eff
fects Of recent liquor legislation in
South Carolina are just being realized
by the people of the State One effect
is to change the intent of the dispen-
sary law, and to sanction acts of the
Board Of Control not in harmony with
the original law. The basic feature of
the dispensary system was that no
liquor was to be drunk on the premises
where sold, and that all officials were to
be salaried, so that there should be no
temptation to Increase sales for the
sake Of the profit. Beer selling was not
contemplated in the original law, but
"beer privileges" have been granted by
the Board of Control, and in these beer
dispensaries the beer is drunk on the
premises as in any saloon, the beer
seller paying the State a royalty of fif-
teen cents on each dozen bottles. All
this has been legalized by an amend
ment to the law, passed at the recent
session of the legislature. This amend
ment also permits the establishment of
distilleries and breweries in Charleston

himself on the country as man who
could be trusted and relied upon. He
won his great success by solid merit,
legitimately applied. He had great
ability, great industry and great per-
sistence. So he became a brigadier
general in the Union army, United
States senator from Indiana, President
of the United States, a great lawyer,
an eminent orator, and weighty and
infiuentialswriter. Whatever he did he
did well and though he never won the
fervent admiration of his countrymen
he did win their sincere respect AS
General, Senator and as President he
was faithful, safe and sensible. He
made few mistakes, and his record does

His mental quality shone conspicuously
on many occasions, but perhaps never
more conspicuously than in a western
trip which he made while President, in
the course of which he made no less
than 112 speeches in a month, and all Of
them were good His failure to be re-
elected President was great surprise
to him and sad disappointment. Dur
ing the last few years he has been
rather out of harmony with the party
he once led, but when his services were
needed they have been given. His
death ends a career which though not
