Mr.. CARNEGIE HAS "JUsT BEGUN"
viii Give Away Many Millions During
Rest Of Life.

New York March 16.-With all his
princely munificence Andrew Carnegie
has not yet reached the proportionate
measure of the gifts of some of his
notable predecessors in philanthropy.
George Peabody, for example, gave to
public uses much more than so per cent
of his fortune of some 100000 and
other men of similar wealth have since
done as much. Mr.. Carnegie. on the
other hand, has 'just begun" as he
says, and his fortune-perhaps twenty
times as large as Peabody's-is so tre-
mendous that opportunities to spend
any great part of 1t properly will give
this latest and perhaps greatest philan-
thropist years of labor to discover.
George Peabody, who was referred
to after his death as "the most liberal
philanthropist of ancient or modern
times" gave much less than half of the
amount included in Mr.. Carnegie's
known philanthropies. Peabody's gifts
aggregated $S,500,000 and he died with
a fortune of $5,OOO.OOO. The total of
Carnegie's gifts to date is 10000 900.

LIKE A MADMAN.

Bloemfontein, Orange River Colony
March 16-Prisoners who have lately
been released by General De Wet
said they thought he was a mad man.
They aver that the terrible fatigues
he has undergone, his anxieties and
the intensity of his feelings have un-
hingei his mind. Apart from this
view of General De Vets mental
statement, some of his peculiarties
are that he rarely slept within the
bounds of his camp. He sought his
rest outside with u few trusted fol-
lowers. Thus the Orderlies of his
subordinate commanders were fire.
quently unable to find him to receive
orders. His secrecy was extreme. He
absolutely impaired his plans to no
one.
General De Wet repudiated the
peace negotiations which are going
on. He declared. openly to the men
under his commadn that no terms ex.
cept Independence will satisfy him.
A recent uterance attributed to Gen.
eral De Wet was that after the Brit
ish he hated the Transvaalers.
The whereabouts of General De
Wet during the last two or three days
was unknown, nor was 1t known
whether President Steyn was with
him.

THEY LIKE EASE.
Secretary Root Is Having Some
Trouble With Army
Cha plains.

Washington, March 16.-The war de-
partment continues to have trouble
with army cbaplains who are ordered
to the. Philippines. These men seem
more concerned about their own physi-
cal comfort than about the spiritual
welfare of the soldiers who are fighting
fever and Filipinos in the far-off trop-
ical islands. When they are ordered
to quit their comfortable quarters in the
United States and proceed to Manila,
they Immediately appeal to their ''infu-
ence" to get the department to recon-
slider.
There are three such cases now pend
ing before the secretary of war. The
chaplains concerned were ordered for
service in the Philippines, but instead
of quietly preparing to obey they sent
protests.to the department, and got SEN
ators or members of congress to ap-
peal in their behalf, One of the chap
lains, it is said,' has been ordered to the
Philippines no less than half-doxen
times since the American occupation,
but each time has succeeded in getting
the order rescinded. Ordering this
man to Manila has now become sort of
joke in the department.
Secretary Root is said to be determin-
ed that the latest order shall be carried
out, and the chaplain go to Manila or
lose his job. But odds are offered
around the department that the rev.
erend gentlemen will do neither.

MURDERER'S TRIAL
At Upper Sandusky Attracting
Widespread Attention--Story
of the Crime.

Upper Sandusky, O., March 16.-The
trial of Daniel Carr for the killing of
Willis Wood is attracting much at
tention. Prosecuting Attorney Benja-
min Neck is assisted by ex-Representa-
tive Andrew Il. Walton. Carr is de-
Tended by ex-Prosecuting Attorney Eli
Carter and David c. Parker. The de-
fense is working on the plea of self-de-
fense. sympathy is strongly in Carr's
favor and his acquittal is freely pre-
dicted.
Daniel Carr, know in the state as
"the venerable pioneer" is the son OF
the earliest settler in Wyandotte coun-
ty. Young Daniel spent his youthful
days among the Indians and his mother,
who lived to almost 80 years, acted as
nurse among the pioneer settlers and in
their declining days boasted of having
been present at the birth of over 1920
children. Daniel Carr was born in 1924
and at one time he was worth SIS, 900.
He was finally reduced to such extreme
destitution that he was obliged to go to
the poorhouse, where the crime for
which he is now being tried was COM
mitted.
One afternoon he and other inmates
were out in the yard of the institution
pairing peaches, which were being
brought to them in a basket by an in
mate named Willis Wood, aged Il. Ac-
cording to the story of Mrs. Shoemaker
wife of the superintendent, of the in
stitution, Wood complained against
Carr sitting in his road. He wanted Carr
to move, Carr refusing, Wood tried to
force him by pushing Carr's chair out OF
his path. Carr tried to take the chair
from him and, not succeeding, plunged
a pairing knife under the chair into
Woods side, producing a fatal wound

AGAIN BEHIND BARS.
Prof. Waltenbers, the Musical
Composer Violates 'ArticIes
of His Parole.

Columbus, March 16.-Professor Won
Waltenberg, the musical composer, is
again behind the walls of the peniten-
tiary, after a season of liberty extending
from last November during which time
he enjoyed his liberty on parole. He
has received more consideration at the
hands of the board of managers than
will be extended to any other paroled
prisoner, but, Notwithstanding that,
he continued to violate the articles of
his parole.
Assistant Deputy Warden Long was
instructed by the board of managers on
Thursday to bring Waltenberg to the
penitentiary as his parole had been re-
voked. He arrested him at his home,
1888 South Fifth street. The charges
filed against him were drinking and
obtaining money by false pretenses, and
when the representatives of the board
started out to collect evidence against
Waltenberg they found no trouble. One
case which was brought to the atten-
tion of the board was that in which
Waltenberg borrowed SO with which to
rent a dress suit. He secured
the suit. but had it charged to a
the man from whom he had borrowed
the money and he spent the So in some
other way.
When received, October 27, 1899, it
was to serve sentence of four years
for forgery from Cincinnati, and he
served about thirteen months of his
sentence before being paroled. His
short time would expire August Ia, 1902,
but all of the good time earned is lost,
which will extend his sentence about
three months.
