A Favored Town.

1t appears that Pttstield Is made an
exception with Andrew Carnegie In the
matter Of presenting a fund for library
building. He had given Rev. L. W.
Coons aud others, interested IN securing
the aid for Pttsfield, to understand that
he did not give money to towns of so
small a population; that he had never
done so and did not think IL advisable TO
make change of plan.
Rev. L. w. Coons Mr. Dobson and
Hon. Joseph II. MARLEY waited Oh Mr..
Carnegie at New York, and apparently,
he did not look with favor upon the sp-
plication until il was mentioned by Mr..
Maney that Pittsfield is a Scotch town.
This seemed TO have been the fact that
turned the scale in Pittsfield's favor, and
upon being informed by Mr.. Coons that
he believed Pittsfield would give Sl,500
per year. Mr.. Carnegie said be would
give $4,000. This is on the same basis
he has given larger sums 10 larger places.
formal request for the sum after the
conditions OF the gift have been com
piled with by the town, must be sent.
Mr.. Carnegie stated to his visitors that
be had Just signed the papers necessary
to have various sums forwarded ~ diff

II now remains for the town to take
action to guarantee the annual apprc-
priatio8 Of the 81, 100. Pittsfeld Is an

who attended a grand ball with his
wife and had a great time. While
dancing a quadrillc he noticed that

He appealed to his wife. and she
showed him to n door which OPEN
