Irving Bachelor. the author of ''Eben
Holden" who recently visited Andrew Car
negie at Skibo Castle, speaks thus of the
estate and its owner: 1T comprises 200
acres, and the former steel king takes par
ticular delight in supervising everything
about IL. He is as active as a boy, and
seems TO be in'the best of health. AT pres
ent there are about 300 men employed reno
waiting the castle, but you would scarcely
know that there was a workman about.
1 doubt If there is a finer estate in the
British isles. and there is little wonder
that Mr.. Carnegie loves to retire there
from the cares OF business. His whole life
seems TO be taken up by his riilanthropic
works. He knows what great good he is
doing. and he enjoys it. All Of Mr.. Car
negie's leisure moments are taken up Will
golf and fishing. L shall never forget the

There was a feeling among the colOred
people that IL was far from proper for them
to bear the surnam OF their former own
ers. and a great many of them took other
surnames. This was one of the first signs of
freedom. A cOlored person, as a slave, was
simply called John" or Susan" There
was seldom occasion for more than the use
of one name. If John" or Susan be-
lOnged 10 a white man by the name of
Hatcher sometimes he was called John

John Hatcher" or "Hatcher'S John was
not the proper title for a freeman; so John

'S' standing for no name, it being simply
a part of what the colored man proudly

pend the fight and to declare unfair con-
