to Senator DepeW, believe themselves
also to be heirs to the estate, and want
Mrs. Depew to divide with them. Sena-

THE CARNEG1E UNIVERSITY.

The address delivered by Mr.. Carne-
gle on the occasion of the formal pre-
sentation to the trustees Of the future
national university of his gift of So
100000 does the famous iron-master much
credit. Indeed the terms of the deed of
trust conveying the munifcent gift make
quite as plain as does the presentation
address that the donor is animated only
by motives which equal honor to the
man and to the citizen
Both effectively remove any thought
that the gift is dictated by the spirit of
personal pride. The donor reveals him
self to view as believing that the great
wealth from which he contributes is his
merely as the trustee of the common
wealth from which it was derived. and
that he is but returning to the people in
another form some of the benefits which
came to him through them in his sphere
as a leader in the productive Industry of
the country
Here are the opening sentences of the
trust deed:
I, Andrew Carnegie. of New York, hav-
ing retired from active business and
deeming. it to be my duty and one of nv
highest privileges to administer the
wealth which has come to me as a.
trustee in behalf of others and enter
tanning the confident belief that one Of
the best means of discharging that trust
Is by providing funds for improving and
| extending the opportunities for study
and research in our country, and having
|
named, who have at mysreuuest sienified
their Willingness to carry out the trust
which | have conlided to them, there
fore l have transfe red to these tho
! trustees of the Carnegie Institution Of
Washington, $40, 600 600 of registered s rer
cent bonds of the United States Steel
Corporation.
The objects of the gift must appeal to
every man who is animated by a wish to
serve his generation and kind. They look
to the advancement Of humanity in the
directions which tend to the elevation of
the race and to the spread Of general en-
lghtenment. No student Of the great
| questions upon whose solution must rest
the future of the race need lack for the
most ample opportunities or the most
perfect facilities for the pursuit of his
| life work, while access may be had to
the great institution of learning whose
foundations are thus laid by one of the
people who in his own person has real
lied how sweet, indeed, are the uses of
adversely.
The proposal of Mr.. Carnegie is stated
to be: ITO found in the city Of Wash

operation of institutions now or here
after established, there or elsewhere

manner encourage investigation, research
and discovery, show the application Of

they are thoroughly aroused to the
gravity of the situation.
They evidently want something in the
nature of vigilance committee in the
big Missouri community A body is
needed which will take upon itself the
punishment of known criminals and the
driving of those of them out of politics
and office who cannot be convicted. 1t
is not difficult task at any time for
the people to secure the election of good
men. Good men are not always willing
to take public office; but in such an
emergency as the present in st. Louis it
will be found in all probability that
enough thoroughly good and honorable
men of both parties can be found to unite
in taking the control out Of the hands
of the rufians who have polluted the
public places Of the community, and set
ting an example of honest discharge of
official duty which will be taken per-
manently to heart by the masses of the
voting and tax-paying population.

The fame of the Dewey Extravaganza
company must have preceded it, for there
was not even standing room left at the
Star yesterday. The usual order of things
is changed, and the entertainment be-
gins with a series of clever vaudeville
acts. The talent in the list is far above
the average. Some of the teams starred
in the big vaudeville circuit not many
seasons ago. The Lavines give the per-
Torrance a rafting good start with their
acrobatic comedy. The Orpheus Three
consist of two young gentlemen and
young and pretty girl, Miss Sadie Probst,
all good songsters. The Quigley Brothers
give their antiquated act cat the Toll
Gate Inn" The men are good comedians,
but the sketch is not eXcruciatingly
funny. One OF the hits of the show is
the military drill by Les Bellies Zouaves.
THE most noted eXtravag anzas have not
produced a better drilled body of shapeli-
ness than these same Zouaves, who, as a
climax, scale the high walls Of the fort
with wonderful expediency, and patriot
icaIly wave therefrom an American flag.
Mitchell and Cain in 1.-THE Frenchman
and the Other FeIlow'u are good, but
would be better if the "other fellow
consumed less of the time. Cain has an
excellent baritone voice, but he sang
only one song through, but the audience
exhibited a desire for more. Ford and
Dot West have an unconventional turn
called 1.-THE Waiter and the Maid" and
1t pleased the crowd. Last, but long
way from the least On the list, are the
three Millettes, sensational acrobats. 1t
is no exag8 Grafton to state that they are
a few shades the best of their kind that
have been seen here. The performance
terminates with a concoction Of nonsense
entitled Expansion" 1t is devoid of po-
litical sentiment, and contains much that
is laughab1e. An announcement that ap-
parently met with favor, for it was
vociferously applauded, was the state
ment that Friday afternoon ladies
matinee viii be given. The men will not
be allowed to smoke, and anything in the
performance that would be likely to give
offenss will be eradicated.

AN OWL STORY.

showing the TyrannOus Eject Of
Habit Upon n wild Animal.
An English publication tells this in
teresting story of an owl:
A vague figure appeared out of the
clouds, travelling against the wind TO-
ward the spire and looking more like n
ragged piece of newspaper wbirled
about the heavens than any livinm
thing. 1t was a white owl. and after
watching him for some time | came 70
the conclusion that he was trying TO
get to the vane of the spire. A very
idle ambition it seemed, for. although
ne succeeded again and again in get.
ting to within a few yards of the
point aimed at, he was on each occo.
sion struck by fresh violent gust AMI
driven back to a great distance ofter
quite out of sight in the gloom. But
presently he would reappear. still
struggling to reach the vane. crazy
bird!
But l could not help admiring his
pluck and greatly wondered what his
secret motive in aiming at that windy
~SN'N DC' anu Ut ldSI, aITeF so
many defeats, he succeeded and
grasped the metal crossbar with his
crooked talOns. The wind with all IFS
fury could not tear him from if and
after a little tapping he was able TO
pull himself up and then. bending
down, he deliberately, wiped his beak
on the bar and few away!
This, then. had been his powerful
mysterious mOtive-just to wipe his
beak, which he could very well have
wiped on any branch or barn roof or
fence and saved himself that tremen-
dous labor This was an extreme in
stance of that tyrannous effect of bab-
1t on a wild animal. Doubtless thia
bird had been accustomed after de.
gouring his first mouse to fly to the
Vane, where he could rest for n few
taking a general view of the
place. and wipe his beak at the same
time, and the habit had become 50
strong that he could not forego his v's-
1t even on so tempestuOus an evening.

hirst Measure Passed For the Pro-

April 10, 1710, is a noteworthy dote

The word copyright" according TO
Dr. Murray, was not used before 1867.
In the preamble of the bill. which is
said to have been drafted by Dean

Immediately upon the other if the an

According to subsidiary clause. if

The discreet persons" included, among
others. the archbishop of Canterbury.

them devolved the somewhat delicate
task Of fixing the books value. This

until 1912, when-it was extended to the
life of the author and seven years. or

Dreakfasting hurriedly. They had on

were still eating scouts came in with
the news that the Austrians were near

Ihe men got into marching order and
IN a few minutes were in rapid ad.
