PROPOSED GIFT TO UNCLE SAM.
The gift to the United States Of
$4,000, 900 is pending in Washington
bat is as good as given. Mr.. Carne-
gle intends to make the terms possible
for Uncle Sans acceptance. No OBJ
stacles can stop Mr.. Carnegie from
givins-once Lis mind is made up
and where another man might be
piqued and withdraw the offer,
Mr.. Carnegie will meet the benefici-
ary more than half way to get him to
accept.
The point raised that Mr.. Carne-
gie's offer Of United States Steel Cor
poration bonds would make the gov
ernment interested in trust has been
recognized by Mr.. Carnegie as reas-
enable obstacle, and the SIC, ,G09oo Gee Gee
will be offered in some shape which
will be beyond criticism.
It has been said that his endow-
ment for national education may be
increased to s25, 600, 600. Mr.. Car
negie has made several trips to Wash
iEgton to confer with President Roose-
welt on the matter. His plans con-
template the establishment in Wash
ington Of college Of higher educa-
tion, the nuoleusoto be the various
government scientific bureaus.
Besides these great benefactions,
Mr.. Carnegie has given many $50, 900,
$50, 1000 and 800, 900 sums for the es-
tablishment Of Libraries in other cities
according to their size. All are
obliged to provide sites and guarantee
an income Of 10 per cent on Mr.. Car
negie's gift for the maintenance of the
libraries.
While giving away millions, Mr..
Carnegie delights in golf. and the
wonder among his friends has been
that he has not endowed university
of golf. He also takes pleasure in
walking through Central Park and all
the policemen in the park know the
little man with The quick step and
jaunty bearing.
One Of Mr.. Carnegie's reasons for
building his home at Nineteenth
street and Fifth avenue is its near.
ness to park entrance. He will have
a little park of his own, as he has the
entire block front between Nineteenth
and Twenty-first streets and will in
time have the depth through to Mad
ison avenue. His original idea was to
have his house the only one in the
block, but owners Of the easterly end
of the property put up the prices Of
their land buildings, and if there is
one thing that Mr.. Carnegie will not
tolerate it is an attempt to make him
pay roundly simply because he is able
TO do SO.
On this account Mr.. Carnegie or.
dered an ornamental wall built in the
rear of his properly. It is not Of the
spite-fence order, though it answers
all the purposes, and it will be an ad-
dition to the attraotiveness Of the
block. This big m i,sion is not yet
finished, nor eau the date be fixed on
which the Carnegie family take pos
session. Mr.. Carnegie has hoped a
year ago that the house would be COM
pleted by the Christmas just passed,
but little Margaret, the only child Of
Mr.. Carnegie, will have to wait for Ler
Christmas present. It is doubtful if
the family mSves into the new house
before the time swiven for Sneir an
ma! trip .hi cad.
MILLIONAIREs ne HAS MADE.
One of the most remarkable results
of Mr.. Carnegie's first years Of retire
ment from business has been the in
PRODUCTION to the metropolis of the
millionaires he has made. AS long as
Mr.. Carnegie was at the head of his
immense industries these men remain
ed at work in Pittsburg, like the men
under them, as Mr.. Carnegie kept
sharp eye on them and was not man
to be trifled with. Mr.. Frick was the
ONLY one Of twenty men who owed
their advance to the great captain Of
industry who appeared above the sur
face. Even Chas. M. Schwab was un-
known and came to New York only to
consult his chief, returning to Pitts
burg on the earliest possible train with
such regularity as to lead to the belief
that he was ordered back to work.
