MIR. CARNEGIE's GIFTS.

Mr.. Carnegie seems to be making
very fair progress towards getting rid
of his vast fortune before he dies-at
least the larger part of it-so that,
according to his view, he will not die
disgraced.
Up to the date of his departure for
his castle in Scotland a few weeks ago
his total gifts amounted to 1912, 1923,
distributed as follows: United States
$6s 517, 472, Scotland $17,71S $50, Holland
$1,750, 900, England and Wales 81, 1854, 500
Dominion of Canada $l,016,500. ireland
S315OOO and Cuba $252,OOO.
Mr.. Carnegie has made his largest
During that period he has given pref
ty nearly third of the whole amount
of his donations. His gift to Scotland
was within that period and he gave
to Pittsburg over $1S,OOo,0oO. And he
was particularly active in making do
nations for library buildings. If he is
as active in distributing his wealth
a few more years as he has been dur
ing the last year he will not have
much surplus to bother him.
1t is we'll understood of course that
he gives very little for purely chart
table purposes. His aim is to benefit
his fellow creatures mentally and ply
sically, in every way he can. He
doesn't believe in using his wealth in
a way that would encourage pauper-
ism. That is why he is building
schools and libraries.
And it is probable that his view as
to the ways wealth can be used to the
best advantage for the good of hu-
mainly are the best. Undoubtedly he
has given the subject great deal of
thought-more than is generally given
to it by those who have wealth to dis
tribute. because he purposes to give
more than any other man of which the
world has any record.
AS to the extent which Mr. Carnegie
fortune has been decreased by his gifts
no one knows. but it is probable that
he still has many millions of dollars,
enough at least to enable him to give
few millions each year even If he
should live to a ripe old age.

holds a record that really should bring
him an appointment of some kind from
the President. He is a great-grand-
father at the age of SO years. At 10
he was a father and at 38 a grand
father. He is the father of fourteen
children, the oldest being SO and the
youngest 4 years. He has twenty-five
grandchildren. His one great-grand-
child is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.

The dedication of a monument to
be erected at the birthplace of Presi-

been fixed. The speakers will be Robert
T. Lincoln of Chicago, President Ar
thurs Secretary of War; ex-senator
William E. Chandler of New Hamp-
shire, his Secretary of the Navy, and
others. The arrangements are in the
hands of Ex-Governor w. w. Stickney.

GIVEN THE BENEFIT OF DOUBT.

GlNE THE BENEFIT OF a DOLBIs
Leo n. Levi. national president of the
B'Nai Birth, takes a very charitable
view of the attitude of the Russian
government during the progress of the
riots at Kischeneff, in which the Jews
were massacred by the hundreds and
the most sickening outrages committed
upon Jewish women and children. In
his statement, read at the annual con-
vention of the order of B'Nai Birth
of New Haven, Conn, on Sunday last,
he said: 1T may be that the govern
ment at ST. Petersburg has been mis-
informed as to the events and situa-
ton at Bessarabia, but after making
all due allowances for the Russian
view of Jewish subjects, we must not
conclude that the government itself is
in sympathy with disorder, pillage and
murder, simply because the victims are
Jews. 1t is neither fair nor wise to
execrate the government of Russia be-
cause of the murderous brutality of
frenzied mob. Russia is powerful
enough to treat with disdain any criti-
cism directed against her. She is not
likely to treat with consideration any
appeal for justice when 1t is coupled
with denunciation."
There is no doubt that there is wis
dom in the foregoing views, If the OBJ
ject to be attained is justice in the
treatment of Jews in Russia, but from
the accounts of the massacre that have
been published there seems to be good
reasons for thinking that the govern
ment was Indifferent to the fate of
the Kischeneff Jews. 1t is even said
that the government had been Informed
that the Jews were to be attacked,
and that 1t gave the Governor of
Kischeneff orders not to use force to
prevent the attack. In other words,
he was not to interfere with the mob.
This seems to be too horrible to be
believed. Still, the charge is being
generally published. 1t is true of
course that after three days rioting,
and after the mob had become in a
measure satiated with blood, the gov
eminent gave orders to the Governor
to put an end to the riot. But does
it not seem as IL such an order could
have been given on the first day OF
the rioting?
The fact as to whether or not the
Russian government was in sympathy
with the rioters will doubtless be dis
closed by the action taken against the
rioters If those who have been ar
rested are punished as they deserve
there will be ground for thinking that
the government was not correctly in
formed as to the actual condition of
affairs, but if none are punished, OF
if the punishments are light in COM
parison with the offenses committed,
it will be pretty generally believed that
the government was Indifferent as to
what the fate of the Jews might be.
1t seems to be admitted that the eff
feet of the outrages will be to stimu-
late migration to this country from
that part of Russia in which the trou-
bles occurred. 1t is evident that the
feeling between the Russians and the
Jews there can never again be such
as will permit them to live together
in entire HARMONY

State Labor Commissioner Schmidt of
Indiana makes a bid to get his name
in the list with those of Pasteur, Koch,
Leob and other germ sharps. Commits
sioner Schmidt declares that the strike
epidemic, now manifesting itself both
in the United States and abroad, Is
caused by specific disease microbe.
True, he has not succeeded in isolat-
ing the microbe. nevertheless he is
sure that it exists, and that it causes
workingmen to go on strike and en-
ployers to lock out their employees. So
Their. 1t seems, all of this talk about
legislation and arbitration boards is to
no purpose, and that what is really
needed is serum, or pills and powders,
to get the noxious microbes out Of the

on the walls of the Bristol, England,
Young Mems Association hall. The
owner of the painting at length pro-
posed to the association to buy it, at
what was considered a fair valuation,
$50 The association. however, declined,
feeling it could put its money to bet
ter use. Recently the owner OF the
picture died and the executors of his
estate sent it to London to be sold.
They were astonished and gratified
when they received $4,000 for the can
vas, which was discovered to be by

sistant Secretary of the Treasury un-
der Secretary Gage and is now a vice
president of the City National Bank OF
New York, is to be married to-day, and
will sail for Europe with his bride on
a wedding tour. Ten years ago Mr.
Vanderlip was a newspaper man. One
of his closest personal friends was
another newspaper man, Mr.. e. W.
Harden. Both Vanderlip and Harden
left the newspaper business for more
promising fields and both have sue
ceeded in life. But while they were
newspaper chums they entered into an
agreement that which ever married
first should have a wedding trip at the
expense of the other. Nothing was
further from the minds of both at the
time, in all probability, than European
tours. But Mr. Harden insists on liv-
ing up to the bargain, so when Mr..
and Mrs. vanderlip enjoy their honey

An Italian nobleman visited the Pope
the other day accompanied by his
fiancee, an American girl of beauty
and wealth. The Pope is reported to
have said to the young man: THE
richest dowry your American bride
could bring you would be some of that
activity and determination to which
her country owes it's greatness and
prosperity" The Pope is said to be
strongly in favor of sons of the Ro-

both on account of the financial adj
vantage and the desirability of intro
ducing a strain of new blood in the no

Two years ago George Walls, the
young son of a Pittsburg millionaire,
disappeared from home. Last week
his father found him at Riverton, Pa,
working as an apprentice to plumber.
The elder Walls forgave his son for
keeping his parents in suspense for so
long a time, and tried to induce him
to go home, promising him an income
of 1000 a month. The boy thanked
his father, but told him he liked the
trade Of plumber and wanted to learn
it. The father therefore returned to
Pittsburg alone, while the prospective
heir to $1,OOO,OOO went back to his
plumbing. Indeed, what does a boy
want with a paltry $1,000 a month if
he can be a plumber?

Special Gable Despaich to TIE sun.
LONDON. June ls.-By an explosion. which,
1t is supposed. was caused by the bursting
Of a lyddite shell. at o'clock this morning
in the magazine building Of Woolwich
Arsenal fifteen persons were killed and
three seriously and fourteen slightly In.
jured! One man Is missing.
The cause Of the explosion has not yet
been ascertained. OF the thirty Io-inch
lyddite shells which were filed last night,
and were in the building where tho e1-
plosion occurred, seven are missing.
Thousands Of relatives Of the killed and
injured surrounded the gates Of the arsenal
after the explosion.
In the lyddite shop. whore the explosion
occurred, over an area o. seventy yards
there was nothing TO be seen but q mass
Of mangled remains. The body Of a man
Of the name Of Edwards was found with
the head blown OF. A stoker Of the name
Of Gage, who was killed. had a leg and
arm blown away.
As none Of the four men in the filing
chamber, where the shell burst, survived,
1t can only be a matter OF conjecture how
the disaster happened.
The roar Of the explosion was heard for
miles down the river. To-.
