ANDREW CARNEGIE SPEAKS At
Y. NJ. c. A. ANNIVERSARY.
WEALTH and ITS USE"
Advises His Hearers to Strive for a
competency-says Conditions
Are Favorable.

New York, Jan. 14.-The twenty
sixth anniversary of the railroad
branch of the Y. NJ. G. A., was cele-
brated in this city tonight. Andrew
Carnegie was the principal speaker.
In discussing wealth and it's uses, he
employed these expressions: "The
best of wealth is not what it does for
the but what it enables him
to do for Others" Sand let me tell
you there is nothing in money beyond
having a competence, nothing but the
satisfaction of being able to help
others" ut is n of the most cheer
ing facts of our days that under pres
ent conditions the wages of labor tend
to rise and the price of n~ecessaries
of life to fall. There was never a
nation SO splendidly situated as ours
is at this moment in regard to labor.
Every sober and capable and willing
man finds employment at wages
eJ!M pooS g pug a1!lql qllM 'qoruM
to manage: will enable him to 60 far
towards laying up a competence for
old age. There is nothing that sue
cess and happiness of a working man
so much depends upon as a good man
aging wife, and here let one who has
almost without intention or desire had
himself loaded with somewhat more
than a competence, tell you soberly
that what one has beyond this brings
little with it, and sometimes nothing
desirable with it.. What all of you
should strive for is a competence with
out which, Junious said, no man a
be happy. No man should be happy
without it, if it be within reach and
| urge all of you to save a part of
your earnings these prosperous days
and put it in savings banks at inter-
est, or, better still buy a home with
it."

OVER CLARK'S new ROAD
BURLINGTON TRAINS WILL RUN
INTO LOS ANGELES.

Salt Lake, Utah, Jan. 15.-The
Tribune tomorrow will say: There
is little doubt that the Burlington
road will in a few days effect a deal
with the Hartman people which will
put its trains into Los Angeles via
Senator Clark's road from Salt Lake
City to the coast. A conference was
held in Washington today between
General Chas. F. Henderson, general
solicitor of the Burlington route; R.
G. Kerens of st. Louis, vice president
OF the San Pedro road; Senator Clark
OF Montana, and several representa-
tives of the Hartman syndicate which
controls the Oregon Short Line and
the Union and Southern Pacific prop.
critics.
Senator Clark today made a propo-
sition to buy the Short Line, or fail
ing in this, to lease part of the line
below Salt Lake. Failing in that the
senator said he would build a paral-
lei line.
If this proposition is accepted it
is reasonable to predict that the Bur-
lington will be running trains via
Lincoln and Salt Lake to Los Angeles
before the end of the present year.

Ten Miners Lose Their Lives In An
Explosion.

South McAlester,.L T., Jan. 14.-Ten
miners lost their lives in the explo-
sion yesterday evening in mine No.
8 of the Mildly and Dow Mining COM
pany, at Dow, 1. T.
n ten men who lost their lives
were the only persons in the pit, and!
none escaped to tell the story.
All the bodies were recovered. The
conclusion is that death was due to
after damp.
The sound of the explosion was
heard plainly above ground and the
r%escuers were at work promptly. The
explosion occurred at a depth of 240
feet.
The condition of the mine indicated
that had presence of mind been ex-
ercised. the men might have made
their escape. The bodies were found
within a c~omparativly small radius.

} Building Naval Vessels.

Chicago, Jan. 14.-Trade ~unionists
of Chicago have decided to take uni
form action against the building Of
warships and naval machinery in any
but government shops. Resolutions
have been made by the largest unions

Eoss, who is the head of the commit

to the effect by congress.
The unions which have gone on
record, together represent over 3d..
90 men. It is claimed by the men
that the government can as we'll build
it's own ships as not, and that yards
should be placed on the Great Lakes
and work be done there as we'll as on
the ocean coast.
