MRS. kEEFE.s PENSION.


uc1eucy Bill.
BY direction Of Mr.. Macfarland. presi-
dent OF the board, an order is being pre-
pared today for adoption by the District
Commissioners. granting a pension of $50
a month to the wife of the late Private C.
A. Keefe of the fire department, who was
recently killed as a result of the collision
between a street car and truck B at the
corner of Connecticut avenue and NJ street.
The pension has been granted through a
provision which was placed In the general
deficiency bill recently passed by Congress.
empowering the District Commissioners to
grant, in their discretion, pensions from the
firemen's relief fund in cases where the
fireman has not been in the service for the
period of twelve months. The general law
on the subject of fire and police pensions
provides that the beneficiaries must either
have been employed at least a year or be
the widows of men employed for that
length of time.
Fireman Keefe had not been in the serv-
ice the requisite period. Owing to the
peculiarly sad nature of the case. however,
the commissioners urged the matter. before
congress. and the provision as above stated
was put Into the bill. Mrs. Keefe called en-
Commissioner Macfarland this morning to
express her gratitude. She will also be al
lowed $I5 from the relief fund for funeral
expenses incurred in the burial Of her hus-
band.

DIR. EastOn Has Not Seen Mr.. Carnegie
in Eight Years.


Rev. DIR. Easton, pastor of the Eastern
Presbyterian Church, states that the details
given in the story alleging refusal Of An
drew Carnegie to contribute to the pr
chase of an organ for the the Eastern Pres
byterian Church are untrue. A report vas
sent out that DR., Easton had asked MT.
Carnegie for contribution, and that the
latter had severely rebuked him, saying,
it was alleged, that he would not give one
cent of his money to a church which did
not meet its financial obligations
DR.. Easton said, concerning this state
ment:
ut is lie. and might make it even
more emphatic than that. Mr.. Carnegie
never made the statement he is quoted as
having made to me. l have not seen him
in eight years, and have not recently been
in New Brunswick. 1t has been a long time
since 1 was there. Our church has been,
done great injustice, for the impression
has been conveyed-in fact, the statement
has been made-that it did not meet its OBJ
legations. 1t Is true that the church is not
out Of debt: few churches are; but 1t is not
true that we have defaulted in any pay
ments. We have always met our obliga-
tions as they arose. and all Of our notes
and demands are paid up to date.
Some penny-a-liner, eager to create a
sensation and not caring at what cost to
the reputation of church. is no doubt the
author Of the story. and We have been done
a great Injustice
