IT may be said that Schwab's music
inspired Mr. Carnegie's philanthropy
in the direction Of church organs. He
played an organ which Mr.. Carnegie
had installed in his home. He was a
fine performer. At the Franciscan
school where he had received his mu-
steal education, he had spent many
hours at the organ. The music he pro-
duced in Mr.. Carnegie's home was diff
ferent from any the steelmaker had
ever heard The result was accom-
plished by the combination of a good
instrument and a good performer.
On the subject of religion Mr.. Car

expressing a public opinion, but years
ago he is said to have remarked that

said one evening to Schwab, while the

The insular bureau of the war de-

Chicago, Aug. -Wheat-There was
a big bulge in wheat near the close to-
day and September advanced to SIS
and closed strong at top prices. The
talk of big export business at the sea-
board, as much as 10l loads and an adj
vance of 90 cents in -four by the north
western millers, started shorts to Gov
ering and the market advanced rapidly.
There was big trade Al, day. with the
market ruling firm. until late. when the
strength developed. During the early
session liquidation continued to be the
order on ali upturns and while the SEN
timent was bullish traders We're in
clined to take small profits. and this
had a tendency toe heck the upward
progress of the market,
Corn-There was a little easier feel
irg in corn early in the day. The late
bulge in wheat caused firmer feeling.
Selling by several large concerns and d
similar movement on this part of scalp
ers caused the market o rule a little
lever. There were some good buying
orders and everything pointed to an
unturn. but the small advances were
net with persistent selling, and 1t was
of such character that efforts on the
part of the bulls were without avail
Small advances were recorded at the
close
Oats-There was very little feature to
oats out of the ordinary. There was a
good trade. with buying and selling
about equally distributed. Some of the
LEGAL bulls took profits early, but bought
tI,njr oats back again. Commissions
houses were on both SIDES. The late
strength In wheat contributed to the
firmness. Crop advices We're about the

credit for their gallantry or to conceal
any weakness.
Take as an illustration the so called
"battle" of Wounded Knee. \ ring was
formed about the Indians. and after
disarming most of them one man re-
sisted, and the troops began firing to-
ward the center, killing nearly all the
Indians and necessarily many of their
own men. The soldiers then followed
up fleeing women and children and
shot them down in cold blood. This is
not called a massacre III the official re-
ports. The press of the country did not
call it a massacre. On the other hand,
General Custer was in pursuit of GER
tain bands of Sioux. He followed their
trail two days and finally overlook
and surprised them upon the Little
Big Horn. The warriors met him in
force, and he was beaten at his own
game. 1t was q brilliant victory for
the Indians, whom Custer had taken
at a disadvantage in the midst Of their
women and children. This battle goes
