The dispatches have done an injustice to Andrew Carnegie in quoting him as saying that he wished CARNEGIE'S his epitaph to read, SECRET OF Here lies a man who SUCCESS. knew how to get around
 much clevere- men than himself" This would leave the inference that MT. Carnegie prided himself upon having manifested an ability to ''get the best of shrewder men than hfrself. What he did say was. ''I think I will have put upon my tombstone this inscription"
 Here lies man Who knew how to get around him Q great many men who were much cleverer than he was him self.
 Tnis conveys an entirely different meaning. and touches the true secret of Carnegie's rnexampled success. He has had that instinct and ability which characterized Napoleon and all other men who have accomplished great things-the instinct for selecting the right men for tho right place, and the ability to call around him and hold to loyal service men of great talent.
 It was while he was speaking Of his gift Of a building to be used by the Stevens Institute Of New York as a l. boratory of engineering that ldr. Carnegie was led to make the above explanation of his supremacy in the world of trade. Touching on the ne cessity of making use Of the highest quality Of brains in conducting great manufacturing enterprises. he made this allusion to some of the methods his firm had followed:
 We were the first firm. ! believe that ! may say that l was the first person, to employ g chemist in connection with q blast furnace. He had to be made in Germany. at that. We paid him yhe enoruous sum Of S1,oO0 a year. l re- member that when I was getting my S25 per month I used to wonder how ever man would know what to do with S1Gj per month. After I got il found out.
 Our competitor hrm ridiculed our cheuist. They could not afford to have 6 spectacled German about their place. they said. Now. all Germans do not wear spectacles. But that is neither here nor there. We got a rich revenge With our chemist. For one thing there was the matter of ore. Ore was classi- fed by name. If you have got a good name you can do almost anything and nobody will suspect you. Young men bear that in mind. If you are in the hat business. for instance, and your hat has got a good name you can charge a dollar fer the hat and a dollar for the name.
 
 were paying a high price for an ore because 1t had q good name. But We set our chemist to work to onalyze that ore. Analyze the ore, IL sounded strange in those days. But he analyz=d it and found that it had greatly Ge- teriorated from what it once was that it had partly run out Instead of C5 per cent of iron he found that it had only 10 per cent. We had an ore which did not have 9 name but which d4d have a great deal more iron 1t 1t than the ore with a name. And we made a great deal of money by using our nameless ore at a lower cost in stead of the ore with a name.
 Well, gentlemen. those days are long past. Our laboratories and technical schools have given this country class of young men the ike of which is matched by no ether country iu the world. Tn England at a banquet oS iron manufacturers which l attended long ago there were speeches. An Eng fish gentleman spoke about the Amer ican iron industries and he said. ''It is not your machinery, nor is it your splendid variety of ores which gives you the advantage; it is because you have in America q class of trained young men for which we have TO correspond ing class in England
 II is in furtnerance of his idea that the business conditions of to60-- ouire men highly skilled n l-1IlI,------ pursuits. and that the best avenue 10 success for young men without capital lies in the requirement of high-g-ade technical knowledge, that Mir. Car negie has just founded at Pittsburg the most comprehensive institute of technology in the world-an institute upon which he vii. expend for the ben eft cf American youth more than twenty millions of dollars.
 The Carnegie formula for business success briefly stated is: CD Know every detail Of your business; @ sur round yourself with the abiest men who understand that business.
