LETTER No. .


New York, March 12.-To the
President and Managers of the Car
negie Co.: Mr.. Franks. my cashier,
will hand over to you upon your ac
ceptance of the trust $1,000 900 of the
Carnegie Co. bonds in trust for the
following purposes:
The income of 81 100000 to be
spent in maintaining the libraries
built by me in Braddock, Homestead
and Duquesne. | have been giving
the interest on $25O.OOO to each of
these libraries hitherto and this will
give revenue of $4,000 hereafter
for the three. Braddock library is
doing a great deal of work for the
neighborhood and requires more
than Homestead. Homestead. on
the other hand. will probably require
more for a time than Duquesne, but
| leave it to you to distribute the
funds from time to time according
to the work done or needed. Du
quesne's portion can be held until
the library is opened, and then APP
piled to meet extras in cost, if any.
"The income of the other $4,000,00O
is to be applied:
"First-To provide for employees of
the Carnegie Co. in all its works.
mines, railways, shops, etc, injured
in its service, and for those depen-
dent upon such employees as are
killed.
"Second-To provide small pen
sions to such employees as, after long
and creditable service, through eX-
ceptional circumstances need such
help in their old age and who make
a good use of il. Should these uses
not require all of the revenue and
surplus of 100000 be left after ten
years operation, then for all over
this, workmen in the mills other than
the Carnegie Co. in Allegheny county
shall become eligible for participa-
tion in the fund, the mills nearest
the works of the Carnegie Co. being
first embraced.
This fund is not intended to be
used as substitute for what the
cor amy has been in the habit of do
ing IN such cases-far from it. 1t is
intended to go still further and give
to the injured or their families, or
to employees who are needy in old
age, through no fault of their own,
some provision against want as long
as needed. or until young children
can become sclf-supporting.
81 make this first use of surplus
wealth upon retiring from business
as an acknowledgement of the deep
debt which ! owe to the worl<men
who have contributed so greatly to'
my success. ! hope the cordial rela-
tions which exist between employers
and employed throughout all the Car
negie Co. works may never be dis
turbed"

A STATESMAN DIES,
Ex-President Harrison Joins the
Silent Majority.
His Last Hours Were Spent In "a StupOT
and II Is Said that During DE
liriOus Moments He spoke
of the SuHerings and
Wrongs of til e Beers.

indianapolis, March 14.-Gen. Ben
jamin Harrison died at 4:45 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon without re-
gaining consciousness. His death
was quiet and painless, there being
"a gradual sinking until the end came,
which was marked by single gasp
for breath as life departed from the
body of the statesman.
The generals condition was so bad
in the morning that the attending
physicians understood that the end
could not be far off, and all bulletins
sent out from the sick room were to
this effect, so that the family and
friends were prepared when the
final blow came. The gradual fail
ing of the remarkable strength
shown by the patient became more
noticeable in the afternoon and a
few moments before the end there
was an apparent breakdown on the
part of the sufferer, as he surren-
dered to the disease against which
he had been battling for so many
hours. The change was noticed by
the physicians and the relatives and
friends. who had retired from the
sick room to the library below, were
summoned and reached the bedside
of the general before he passed
away.

The ancients began their year with
the advent of spring. How much
more appropriate thus to begin the
New Year with the new life of ma
ture in the awakening spring. At
this season all processes throughout
the natural world start afresh.
The ancients also showed their
sagacityand appreciation of the great
changes and active processesof spring.

time for renewed life and energy in
the human system. They well knew
that the blood should be cleansed
from impurities and the nerves REIN
vigorated at this season. Hence the
establishment of the custom of TAX
ing a good spring medicine.
This most sensible and healthy
custom is followed by almost every
body at the present day, few people
of intelligence venturing to go
through this trying time of change
from winter to summer without taxi
ing a spring medicine.
The unanimity on this subject is
settled fact; the only question hereto

lion 10 Three Libraries.

Pittsburg, March 1.-two commu-
nications from Andrew Carnegie,
which were made public last night
tell of the steel kings retirement
from active business life and of his
donation of $4,OOO,OO0 for the endow-
ment of a fund for superannuated
and disabled employees of the Carne-
gle Co. This benefaction is by far
the largest of the many created by
Mr.. Carnegie, and is probably with
out counterpart anywhere in the
world. This fund will in nowise in
terfere with the continuance of the
savings fund established by the com
pany Is years ago for the benefit of
its employees. In the latter fund
nearly S2,000,000 of the employees saw
ingS are on deposit, upon which the
company by contract pays 6 per cent.
and loans money to the workmen to
build their own homes. The letters
follow.
"New York, March Ito the
good people of Pittsburg: An OPP
portunity to retire from business
came to me unsought, which | con
sidered it my duty to accept. My
resolve was made in youth to retire
before old age. From what | have
seen around me | cannot doubt the
wisdom of this course. although the
change is great and seldom brings
the happiness expected. But this is
because so many, having abundance
to retire upon. have so little to re-
tire to. | have always felt that old
age should be spent not, as the

health and vigor, and | can reason

One Way OF Settling for supper.

Three commercial travellers meet
ing at hotel one winter evening had
a hearty slpper together. Supper
over, the three found some difficulty
in alloting their respective shares in
the bill; but one of them at length
cut short the dispute by proposing
that whoever had the "oldest name"
among them should go freq the ex-
penses being halved by the other two.
This amendment being promptly
accepted, No. ] produced a card in
scribed "Richard Eve" which No. 2
trumped with adam Brown" Then
No. 3, a portly veteran with humor-
Gus gray eyes, laid down his card
with the quiet confidence of a great
general making a decisive movement,
and remarked with chuckle:

was "Mr. B. Ginning,"-Tit-Bits.

away.

None of Gen. Harrison's children
were present at his death. Neither
Col. Russell Harrison nor Mrs. Mckee
had reached the city. although both
were hurrying to the bedside of their
dying parent as fast as steam could
carry them.
Elizabeth. Gen. Harrison's little
daughter. had been taken from the
sick room before the end came.
One of the most pathetic Incidents
of the whole illness of the general
occurred Tuesday before he became
unconscious. The generals little
daughter, Elizabeth, was brought
into the sick room for a few mo-
ments and offered him a small apple
pie which she had made. Gen. Har-
rison smiled his recognition of the
child and her gift. but the effort tc
speak was too much and he could do
nothing more to express his appreci-
alton.
Yesterday all efforts to arouse the
slowly dying man to consciousness
failed, and he died without word
of recognition to any of those who
surrounded his bedside.
The funeral of eX-President Harri-
son will take place next Sunday af-
ternoon at o'clock. The services
will he held in the First Presbyterian
church. of which Gen. Harrison was
member for nearly 80 years.
The body of Gen. Harrison will lie
in state in the rotunda of the Capt.
tol al day Saturday.
From one who was present at the
death bed it is learned that the allie
CATIONS of cruelty and injustice dealt
out by England to the Beers in their
struggle for liberty had been a sub
iect for thought in the mind of Gen.
Harrison TO his friends he had
often spoken of the pity and shame
that The brave farmers of South Afri-
ca should be r2bbed of their coun-
try. of all they have in the world and
forced to submit to terrible miseries.
Gen. Harrison would have liked
nothing better than to have come out
strongly and say what he thought of
England's cruelty; it was in his mind
constantly, but he believed that an
eX-president should observe the same
properties of speech which are OBJ
served by a president of the United
States. He was at all times careful
to say nothing that could be twisted
into a seeming disregard For the hon
or of the high position he once held.
During the last hours ne spoke of
the Beers and their struggles. His
voice was low and his thoughts dis
connected, but those lying over him
could catch words of praise for the
Boer republic.
BENJAMIN Harrison was born at
North Bend, o., August 20, 1888. He
was the son of john Scott Harrison
and the grandson of William Henry
Harrison, the ninth president of the
United States. Benjamin Harrison,
his great grandfather, was one of the
signers of the Declaration of lnde-
pendence.
Washington, March 14.-President

probably tonight, although the exact
time of depa .rure has not been de-

for Il day or more and Mrs. McKin-
ley will remain there while the presi-

POLITICAL DRIFT.

UThere have been presidents who
apparently held congress in light es-
TEEN. President Mckinley has had
a long and honorable clreer in con-
gress, he knows the proper functions
of that body and recognizes its prop
er authority, and he has no intention
of encroaching on its rights or ig-
noring its responsibilities. That is
one reason why the president and
congress get along so well together

OThe president has spoken lumi-
nously and convincingly concerning
Cuba. The policy enunciated by con-
gress will have few opponents among
men who read the presidents re-
marks on this most important ques-
ton. He says 1.-The declara ton of the
purposes of this government in the
resolution of April 20, S9S, must be
made good" The only way to mahe
