MIR. Carnegie is the ,host unconventional

the night we dedicated the laboratory last

to the hall, telling me that carriages were
made for women. We both footed the
two blocks, Mr., Carnegie appearing to
enjoy the walk immensely, He was very
much interested in the machinery and
appliances at the laboratory his own money
had built and asked ever so many questions
about them. He had no idea that school
OF technical training could be so practical
and so complete, he told me, have no
doubt that the favorable impression he
received then was responsible for his gift
to-day"
Asked II he knew how the 10000 would

not IL the trustees will take n suggestion
from me they will invest the money In steel

Haven Yards walked in with forty husky
switchmen They crowded into the little
room where the balloting was going on.
Several of them attempted 10 vote. Cor
oner O'Gorman, who had charge Of the bal
loting, said the men weren't enrolled and
couldn't vote. He also had them put
out and made them come in again one
AT a time. He had rejecte ed about twelve
of them on the ground that they weren't
enrolled when he suddenly closed the door
ON them altogether and went out and ac
cused Thorbush Of having brought them
there to make trouble. Thorbush and
the Coroner had talking match which
was finally ended by two policemen
Thorbush took his forty men over TO a
saloon at I42d street where what was de-
clared TO be another Greater New York

ducting this meeting were former Coroner
NcOwen who has been known as a Tam
many man; Lawyer Henry Watson Cornell
and Thomas P. Dempsey. They re-
fused to let reporters in. Breen said they

MKrNLEY sowED ANARCHY.
Astonishing Statement by . Presbyterian
Clergyman OF Baltimore.

BALrIMoHR, Feb. I0-.President McKin-
ley was assassinated by an Anarchist but
he reaped only what he sowed-
This statement was made this morning at
the weekly meeting OF the PRESBYTERIAN
ministers by tho Rev. Oliver Hemstreet, a
member of the Baltimore Presbytery.
Mr.. Hemstreet was delivering an address
by request Of the ministers, on Anarchy -
Mckinley encouraged tho very thing
which ultimately caused his DEATH" con-
tinued Mr.. Hemstreet. During his first
term he ignored conditions which IL was his
moral and patriotic duty as Chief Executive
OF the nation to right. He withheld his
power and let the canteen send hundreds
OF our soldier boys 20 hell DR.. Crowell of
the Methodist Episcopal Church applied to
President Mckinley for him to exercise
his authority in wiping out the cantecn
stain. According to authentic reports,
the President replied:
81 would order the removal OF the Secre-
tary and use my authority, but | must be
sure Of my position. If | should order the
abatement Of the canteen, the order would
bo misconstrued and my political enemies
would mako capital OF it,
so. you see, President Mckinley, in an
hiuHect way, SanctlOned one OF tne SlrOnR-
est and most terrible elements of anarchy.
He did not do his duty in Washington for
fear Of losing votes. There are saloons
in the National capital supported by menu
bers of the United States Senate and other
high officials. There are whole blocks of
buildings where the vilest iniquity runs
riot. open and lawless.
A member OF the Philadelphia Confer
ence Of the Methodist Church. who could
not believe the statement about the canteen
accredited 10 the President. wrote TO DR..
Carroll asking IL he did not consider the
statement. il true, dishonorable. 1t is
said that DR.. Carroll replied that the state
ment was true, and that he did not consider
IL dishonorable. So ii seems that the
President was abetted in his policy by
prominent persons.
a few years ago the Anarchists Of New
Jersey. wearing the Mckinley button and
the red badge of anarchy on their coats
and supplied with beer by the Republi-
cans. plotted the death Of one OF the crowned
heads of Europe; and it is probable that
the plot to sssassinate the President was
Matched at the same time, or soon after

JEROME HITS COLLEGE MEN.
How Many Respond TO Cail 10 Work at

tunity to point out 10 his fellow members
their sins and omissions citizens Of New
York, after a fashion which has become
popular with him Of late.
Despite the fact that he was little rough

appauded him literally when he was

sented at the dinner over which Charles
Evans Hughes presided. The diners

Of men in position where they have had TO
land up and take an oath of Office, and let
me tell you that when man takes an oath
Of Office he has things put up TO him pretty

a liberal enforcement of laws and fine
spun distinctions which have in reality
no vital existence.

deterioration in reform administrations
because the educated people have no proper
idea of their obligations. II seems TO me
that the proper thing TO do IN 10 keep the
administration up TO its pledges 10y keen,
searching and Intelligent criticism.
What have men al my time OF life and
al yours done for this country? We are
willing to 20 TO wars where there il some
glory and reward to be won. but who is
there to do the unheroic work of the pri-
