ing and made some suggestions for
facilitating the work, which brought
him 10 the attention OF COlODel Thorn
as A. Scott, Yice-President Of the road.
One day, when Carnegie stood on
the back platform Of car examining
the condition Of n certain part OF the
road-bed. he was accosted by r. r.
Woodruff. who desired 20 exhibit
model of the sleeping car which he
had invented.
A small company was formed. and
the first sleeping cars 10 be used in
the world were built for the Pennsyi-
vanla road. Young Carnegie was Of
fered an interest, which he accepted.
When the Civil War broke out and
Colonel Scott became Assistant Sec
retary OF War, Carnegie was placed
In charge OF the Government telegraph
communications.
After the war Carnegie purchased
with others the famous Storey Farm,
on Oil Greek, Penn. The purchase
price was $4,000. and shortly II paid
an annual profit Of Sl,0O0000. This
gave Carnegie his first start In life
as n capitalist
At thirty he had laid the foundation
Of his wealth. After starting the Key
stone Bridge Company he founded the
Edgar Thomson Steel Rail Company.
He then acquired the Homestead and
other plants. In 1888 he had seven
steel companies, among which were
the Homestead Edgar Thomson, Du-
quesne, Lucy Furnaces. Upper and
Lower Union Rolling Mills, etc.
Skibo Castle, Andrew Carnegie's
home in Scotland, Is one OF the finest
estates In the highlands. Its broad
grounds. vast apartments, battlements
and escarpmcnts are in high contrast
with the little house at Dunfermlino
wherein Mr. Carnegie was born. But
humble as Is the lowly home of his
boyhood, the great phllanthrOplst
thinks more OF II than OF his castle.
At Sklbo Mr. Carnegie spends much Of
his time. Its invlgorating climate.
its inviting countryside, the pleasant
neighbors surrounding II, make 1t an
ideal summer home. Few country
