TO FOLLOW PETER COOPER.
Carnegie Is Expected to Take Up
Dead Philanthropist'sW W ork-

New York, June 10.-The Herald says:
Andrew Carnegie, who was elected a
trustee Of Cooper Union last October, is
credited with a plan for the extension of
the work begun by the late Peter Cooper,
which will involve the expenditure of a
large sum of money. Cooper Union, it is
said by one in authority will be remodel
ed to make room for the improvements
contemplated by Mr.. Carnegie, whose
purpose is to duplicate the present en-
downment fund amounting to 81, ,054, OBS,
without attracting attention to himself.
Mr.. Carnegie has already given $500, 600
as a special endowment to Cooper Union,
and it is said he would have raised this
gilt to $3s000s0U0, but for the fear that his
munificence would OyerShadOW that of
the founder of the institution, Peter
Cooper. Mr.. Carnegie's plan, while not
fully matured, has been made known ap-
proximately to the trustees of Cooper
Union. 1t was limited at by ex-Mayor
Abram s. Hewitt in his speech at the
commencement exercises few days ago.
1t is learned from an authoritative
source that Mr.. Carnegies purpose is
to add to the Cooper Union endowment,
as quietly as possible, and very likely
In 1nStallmentS, a sum equal to the total
of the gifts already received This
means an addition of at least 81, 900, 600
to the general fund
Before leaving for England, Mr.. Car
negie discussed with Mr.. Hewitt and the
other trustees of Cooper Union plans for
broadening the scope Of the institutions
usefulness. 1t was then decided to do
away with the stores on the ground floor
of the building on the Third avenue
side, and to utilize this space by the
establishment of an industrial museum.
A ncleus for such a. museum was pre-
sented to the union several years ago.
and J. PierpOnt Morgan has since con-
tributed four collections CT textile fabrics
and decoration models, valued in all at
100000. which make possible the crea-
tion of a museum second to none in the
world.

Woes Of an Early Settler Abb
sent For so Years.

New York, June 10.-Augustus Rath-
bone, 7S years old, of San Jose, Cal,
who is staying now in Brooklyn hotel.
arrived here Wednesday afternoon with
SIS and a check for $500. He had not
been in New York for nearly 80 years
The city has changed so much since his
last visit that he became completely be-
wildered and lost A detective was as
signed to the hunt for the old man $
cash and check The detective easily
found the first hotel Mr.. RathbOne went
to, but it was a long time before tle
found the second. At last the trail led
to the Atlantic hotel in Brooklyn The
proprietor, Augustus Strauss, immedi-
ately recognized Rathbone as man
who registered there last Wednesday
and left his baggage and valuables and
disappeared next day. Strauss gave
Rathbone's belongings to the detective.
Rathbone is a native of Providence, r..
T. In 1852, he left there to go west,
where he made his fortune. The man is
on a tour of the world and came here
to obtain another glimpse OF New York
and to visit his old home in Providence.

WITH HER OWN HANDS.
vina seavey Says She Will Kill SIay-
er of Frank Rutledge.

New York, June 1O-A special to the
World from Toronto says:
Vina Seavey, the young woman who
has shown such devotion to Frank Rut
ledge and his fellow prisoners who were
so tragically wiped out of existence a
few days ago, declares that if she ever
discovers who supplied to the gang the
revolvers that eventually wrecked the
party through the desperate use made
of the weapons by the criminals, she
will kill the person with her own hands
i shall never rest until do said she
to the police and reporters, for he has
killed them (F2utledge and Jones) both-''
Some persons believe that she was not
in the plot by which the revolvers were
thrown into the carriage where the
prisoners sat. It is believed that the
rescue plot was planned in Chicago and
that the man or woman in mans cloth
ing, as may be, who threw the revol-
vers into the closed carriage was sent
from that city and has returned there.

AID FOR STRIKERS.
New York Federated Union Asked to
Assist Machinists.

New York, June 10.-At a recent meet
ing of the State Federated Union, the
privilege of the floor was given to a
committee from International ASsOcia-
ton Of Aachinists who asked permission
to lay the case of the striking machinists
before the body A. Kunzelman Of this
committee, said that the principal point
now was to keep 20,000 union men
who had gone on a strike with the union
men from rushing back to work.
There are $4,000 machinists on strike
for the shorter work day throughout the
United States" he continued. "Of these,
81, 900 belong to the union, and we have
to keep the other 10000 in line We ac-
cept the challenge of the national trades
association and will fight until we win
or until the end Should we win, as I
hope and believe, it means a nine-hour
work day for 650,000 people throughout
the United States
He said that the fight would be a long
and bitter one and asked the central
body to lend its aid financially and
otherwise. It would require $4,000 a
week. he said, to pay strike benefits for
the non-union men. The meeting voted to
give 100000 directly to the machinists
and adopted a resolution directing the
secretary to write to all the affiliated
unions asking for financial assistance
for the strikers.

First Silver Wedding.

According to a historian, this Is the
way the first silver wedding came
about. 1t was in the time of Hughes
Caput. Two of his most faithful serv-
ants. a man and Il woman, had grown
gray In his employ. How could he re-
ward them?
Calling the woman. he said: your
service is great. greater than the mans,
whose service is great enough, for the
woman always finds work harder than
a man. and therefore l will give you a
reward. At your age | know of none
better than a dowry and a husband.
The dowry is here. This farm from
this time forth belongs to you. If this
man who has worked with you for five
and twenty years is willing to marry
you, then the husband Is ready
Your majesty" said the old peasant,
how is it possible that we should mar
~. having already silver hairsY'
Then it shall be a silver wedding 4"
And the king gave the couple silver
enough to keep them in plenty.
Such was the origin of the silver
wedding, a custom which, spreading all
through France. subsequently became
known to the world.

whisked off first. but this my maid did
not do, and in consequence the CRIME
was wiped in for all l know with a

polished surface was clouded over al

POINTS ON Lobster.

A lobster is found in the water. but
not always-in fact, some of the most
successful Holsters that ever lobstered
were born and raised on dry land.
One can usually tell lobster by its
actions. For instance, IL a young man
enters a crowded drawing room and
walks all over the feet of the assem-
bled guests without their consent or
approval the young man at once be-
comes a lobster.
The fathers of Holsters usually have
money. In fact, it is difficult TO be a
real stand up and fall down lobster
unless the Holsters father has money.
1t is an odd fact that many girls
seem TO admire Holsters. 1t would
seem that a girl ought to know better,
but she doesn't until she marries a
lobster. Then she tumbles.
HOLSTERS have no brains. If you
don't believe it. split a Holsters head
open with an ak If you don't care any
thing about the AK.
This world would be a much moro
desirable abiding place If there were
no Holsters in it.-Ohio State Journal.
