"FOOLISH SAYINGS"
Andrew Carnegie "a Con-
sciOus or Unconscious
Humbug."

New York, Nov. lS.-Thc Rev.
Hugh ). PcntccOst, of the United
Congregation, yesterday preached
at the Mott Memorial Hall ON
MIR. Carncgic's Foolish Sayings"
and these are some Of the things
he said:
The foolish speech to which |
refer, is reported to have been ut
tered by Mr.. Carnegie II week ago
last Saturday in Plttsburg. lie ~
reported to have said that it would
he unfortunate Tor the world Wllrll
the days would come when WV
men out OF every ,OOO were not
born poor.
The idea was, take 1t, that
poverty Is an incentive to work,
based on his own experience, he
having once been poor. The only
people who eXtol the blessings OF
poverty are the rich.
Mr.. Carnegie said he would
rather give up his riches than he
deprived of Shakespeare or Wag-
ner in his life. Young Rockefel-
Ter emphasized the same idea be-
fore his Bible class, and at the
same time said he did not think
that Jesus Christ meant that IT
was harder for II rich man to enter
Heaven than 1t was for poor

Good "HorSe Sense

The following editorial is from
the st. Louis Chronicle. The i'll
cident is the same as referred 10
by the MESSAGE last week and fits
in well with the sentiments cX-
pressed in an article on the first
page of the MESSAGE this week.
The Chronicles arguments are fit
" taken and what it says is appll-
cable to most any thickly settled
community in the United States.
Hear:
Again has the President
given indication Of being big
man.
He ordered an agent to buy
some horses for him. The agent
went out scouting, and notified
Roosevelt that he had found just
such horses us the President want
ed. They were nice, big fellows,
with their tails locked i'll the most
fashionable style.
Said Roosevelt: FL don't want
locked horses. Docking is cruel
ty, and don't believe in it,"
The President is man who
shoots lions and wolves, and is
fond of hunting, and that agent
had no idea he would look upon
amputation of an animals tail rs
cruelty and refuse to sanction It,
There is II difference i'll hunters.
The true sportsman causes no un-
necessary suffering to the game,
The true man is humane. Such Il
man the President of the United
States shows himself to be i'll re-
fusing TO pander to the brutal de
mand of Fashion that mans best
friend, the noble, patient horse,
shall endure great agony.
There are societies for the pre-
vention of cruelty to animals. Let
these get after the fellows who
dock horses, with this action of
the President as an incentive.

TIE State Board of Live Stock
commissioners have received re-
ports from various parts OF the
state that the losses of cattle this
fall from the Corn stalk disease
has reached into the hundreds.
This commission says that the
corn stalk disease is so called for
the reason that the disease only
occurs when cattle are being fed
upon corn stalks standing i'll the
field from which the corn has been
gathered. 1t is neither infectious
nor contagious; the carcasses may
be handled with impunity and the
hides be removed and sold with
safety. But, we add, if You want
to save the live hides don't let
your cattle into the stock field,

B. & 0. SHOPS
To be Taken From ParkeTS
burg TO BGIpTe.

! Residents of Belpre are rejoicing ov
er the prospects of that place becoming
in the near future the site of the B. &
o. shops which are now located in
Parkersburg. The rumor that this
change would be made has been general
ly circulated and has at least foun
dation of truth The report was started
about a month ago and came directly
from one of the high officials of the
road. The official in question is T. ]
Fitzfierald, who, with party of prom
inent B. & o. men, stopepd at the Bel
pre- hotel for several hours. The pri-
mary object of the visit was to decide
upon the advisibility of making some
changes in the B. d .. passenger de-
pot.
While there, however, the party in
spected the property on whicn the
stock pens are located and the land be-
low, which is being used as a gravel pit.
Mr.. Fitzgerald voluntarily stated to
the proprietor of the hotel that the
company had about decided to move
their shops from Parkersburg and place
them on the site mentioned above. He
stated that the shops would De much
enlarged and given a greater capacity
for heavy work than they have at pres
ent. The reason for the change, he
said, was inability of the company to
obtain any more land about their
shops in Parkersburg and the heavy
taxes. Both of these difficulties would
be overcome should the shops be moved
to Belpre. He also stated that actual
work on the moving of the shops would
be commenced as soon as the bridge
across the Ohio was completed so that
heavy engines can pass over it safely.
Since these statements were made
by Mr.. Fitzgerald the B. & o. has pur-
chased a large tract of land from
Frank Stone adjoining the property
which the company already owns. The
company is now negotiating for part Of
the farm owned by Mr.. Mullen and it
is expected that the deal will be closed
in the course of few weeks.
The land which is now owned by the
B. & o. and that for which they are
negotiating, is overlaid with the finest
quality of gravel. 1t is the intention
of the company TO remove this gravel
before the shops are erected They ex-
pect to realize enough money out of
the gravel to pay them for the land
purchased.
