ANDREW CARNEGIE
 OPENS HIS HEART
Gives S5,O00,OOO to Care for
 His Disabled EmpIoyeS
RETIRES FROM BUSINESS
Writes Letter To Ills Men and the People of PIttsburg, Bidding Them an Affectionate FareweIl-AI-
 ways Their Friend.

Pittsburg, March 13-Two letters from Andrew Carnegie made public tonight tell of his retirement from business, and of his donation of $5,OO0OOO for the en- disabled employees of the Carnegie Com pany. This benefaction is by far the lar gest of the many created by MT. Carnegie, and Is probably without counterpart in the world. This fund will in no wise in terfere with the continuance of the say ing fund established by the company fifteen years ago for the benefit of it's employees. In this latter fund nearly s. 100000 of the employees savings are on deposit, upon which the company by con- tract pays per cent and loans money to the workmen to build their own homes.
 The first letter Is as follows:
 New York, March 12, 1901. ITO the Good People of Pittsburg:
 An opportunity to retire from business came to me unsought, which I considered it my duty to accept. My resolve was made In youth to retire before old age. From what I have seen around me I cannot doubt the wisdom of this course, altnouBn the change IS great, even Ser1OuS and seldom brings the happiness expect ed, but this is because so many having abundance to retire upon, have so little to retire to. The fathers in olden days taught that a man should have time be- fore the end of his career for the 'mak- ing of his soul. have always felt that old age should be spent not, as the Scotch say, in making Mickle Mair,' but in making a good use of what has been ac- quired, and I hope my friends of Pitts burg will approve of my action in retir- ing while still In full health and vigor. and I can reasonably expect many years for usefulness in fields which have other than personal aims.
 T shall have more time now to devote to the institute and to the technical school which are in the higher domain of Pittsburg life and these have long seen to be my chief work.
 For all these reasons and for another more potent than all viz: that Pittsburg entered the core of my heart when I was boy, and cannot be torn out can never be one hairsbreadth less loyal to her or less anxious to help her in any way, than I have been since I could help anything.
 My treasure Is still with you, my heart is still with you, and how best to serve Pittsburg is the question which re- CUTS to me almost every day of my life.

CITY WILL KEEP WATCH
ORDINANCE BEING PREPARED TO
SAFEGUARD STREETS yrs
All Tearing Up Operations Will Be
Under Eyes of InspectOrs-
License Fees Will Be
Enacted.

The agitation now on concerning the
poles and wires that cucumber the
streets, and the legal right of corpora
tons and companies to use the thorough
fares in the maintenance of them is not
without its benefits to the city at large
and will shortly result in the passage Of
laws which the legal department con-
siders will do much in the line of reform
One. of the ordinances which the legal
department now has in preparation will
provide for city inspection of all work
which requires the tearing Up, of the
streets or sidewalks in any manner. with
the addition of a license permitting such
work.
Laws now in existence require the Sc
curing Of permits when the streets are
to be tempered with, but under the new
law bond or a money deposit will be
demanded as an assurance that the street
or sidewalk will be put back in it's orig
inal shape. Additional to this the con-
tractor or company will be charged an
inspection fee of an amount proportionate
to the nature of the work
Should a telephone pole be planted or
removed fee OF 25 cents will be requir-
ed, which must be forthcoming on the
issuing of the license, and this fee will
go toward paying for the time Of the in
spector. The bond or money deposit will
be for the purpose of reimbursing the
city in case the streets are damaged or
are not. restored to their original condi-
ton.
AT present the city has in it's employ
one inspector whose time is by no means
adequate to the demands upon it, but
with an inspection fee sum would be
realized that would provide for several
men for such work. The new ordinance
will include many other details that will
do away in a large measure with unlawful
occupation of the streets and the defacing
of paving and sidewalks.

NEW BUILDING LAWS
NEXT MONTH MANY EXISTING
ABUSES WILL BE
ABATED
NO MORE SPECIAL PERMITS
Council Will No Longer Have Power
to Pass Over Head of Build
ing Inspectors De-
partment.

Sept. l the new buildings laws will be-
come operative and then the much abu sed
practice of special permits, allowing VIC
lations of the building laws already in
force will cease.
Probably the most fragrant violation Of
the building laws now existing is the is
suing, by the council, of special permits
allowing the construction Of frame
shacks and structures in the fire limits.
Application to the building department
for permits allowing these infractions of
the city building laws always meets with
prompt refusal, but relief from eXacting
officials is generally secured by appeal
to the council, which invariably, on tee
petition of the aldermen of the ward in
which the work is to be done, acquiesces
and orders the issuing Of the permit.
The new building laws which go into
effect with the opening of September,
were provided for by the trainers of the
present charter and their preparation and
passage have cost the city large sum,
not to speak of the costs that will yet e
required to make them legal and oper-
alive.
By the charter the provisions of the
new laws are exacting, both upon the
building department and the council, and
no act of the latter body can bring
about their evasion in any way. If con-
SIueIeu LOO drastic, Ine only way out OF
the difficulty is the appointment Of
another commission, and the entire re-
drafting of the laws.
During the present year, fifty special
permits have been issued over the heads
of the buildingI officials for the construc-
ton of frame buildings and shacks within
the fire limits, while other special per-
mits in the line of house to house water
connections, oyerhanging signs, project
ing windows and street stairways have
been granted by the hundreds, all by
special council enactment an. all being
violations of the laws now on the books.
To the council the new building laws
will come as relief, furnishing it with
an excuse from which there is no appeal
The new laws when published, will
probably prove a revelation to many
who have been used to the haphazard
method of building now in force While
reasonable enough as far as small resi-
dence properties and buildings are con-
cerned, their application to the Mig office
buildings and flats is severe and will
add considerably to the cost OF such
structures. The demands as a rule are in
the line of fire prooing and the in
corporation OF escapes that will permit
nasty exits.

TO DEDICATE NURSERY
HARRIET ISLAND ANNEX TO Bic
OPENED TO PUBLIC MONDAY
City and County Officials Will he
Present and Assist in the
CePemOny-PubIic Is
Invited.

The free day nursery on Harriet island
will be formally dedicated to the public
next Monday evening at O'clock.
DIR. Whitcomb, who has fathered the
project from the start, and who has been
liberal, both with funds an hard work
announced yesterday that tne building
was completed. He has arranged for
its dedication Monday evening. and fol-
lowing that, the playhouse viii be given
over to the use Of the little ones.
The general public is invited to attend
the ceremony. Mayor Smith and the
city and county officials will be present
and short speeches will be made by sew
eral Of them.
Two months ago Dr. Whitcomb pro-
posed the construction of a Gay nursery
on Harriet island by the introduction Of
an ordinance in the city council calling
for an appropriation of $500. Owing to
a depletion Of the general fund, the
money was not forthcoming. and DT.
Whtcomb Immediately took steps to
have it built despite this fact.
The aid of DR.. Ohage was invoked and
how well these two officials have sue
ceeded is shown in the substantial build
ing that now adorns the west end of the
island and which will be thrown opan
to the public Monday evening. BY hard
work LIBERAL contributions were obtained
through public subscription, and while a
portion of the debt remains unpaid, suf-
ficient was advanced to allow the con-
struction of the building without de-
lay
Through the aid of a number of civic
bodies and charitable persons much Of
the furnishings have been provided for.
and these will be sufficient to accommo-
date the children that will use the build-
ing this year Next year it is proposed
to furnish the building on a more elab-
crate plan. 1t is also possible that adj
ditions will be made.

CENSURE FOR LENIENCY
COL. POND DISAGREES WITH SEN
TENCE OF COURT-MARTIAL.

Col. George Pond is not satisfied with
the sentence recently imposed on private
John M. Dykes, of Company F, First
cavalry. He was tried at Fort Smelling
and convicted of serious offense but on
account of his previous good conduct as
shown by the records, he was given a
sentence much lighter than is customary
In such cases. In a communication to
the war department, the colonel says:
The sentence of lie court in the case
of Private John M. Dykes, Troop +,
First cavalry, is deemed inadequate for
the offenses found It's mildness the
court seeks to justify because of the
previous good conduct and character of
the accused as shown in the record
and, it is believed, on account of the APP
parent absence of evil intent, as Is pos
slbly Indicated in the testimony of the
prisoner. The court should have award
a sentence commensurate with the Of
tense for the commission of which the
prisoner was found guilty, and then if
it believed that leniency should be shown
1t should have petitioned for clemency.'
