MT. Carnegie Is Careful.

From the Kansas City Journal
 Carnegie is as precise in his benefac- tions as an old lady buying calico He gave s15,OOO for library at Hutchinson, Kan, on condition that the town collect a revenue of $1.5O0 annually for it's sup port. As the building neared completion it was found that $1,0OO or more would be needed to finish it off in good shape. The trustees asked Carnegie for this ad- ditional sum. He writes from Skibo cas- tie that he will put up the additional s1,o00 if the town will agree to contribute $100 more each year in the way of sup port.

T@ HE women of the Hillman hospital
 are making arrangements to con
 duct a free dispensary for out door clinics. They hope to complete their plans by the first of October.
 The free dispensary, as explained by a member of the hospital board yesterday, is considered the broadest charity that is conducted in connection with any of the great charity hospitals in the large cities. It Is really a large part of their work and it's Inauguration in Birmingham places the TIillman in the same class of hospitals which have made this special work a great factor in the larger cities Free dspensaries are conducted In the charity hospital in New Orleans. the Grady hos pital in Atlanta, the Charity hospital in Nashville, and dozens of other institutions might be mentioned.
 It Is the first time in Birmingham that any plans have been formulated for a free di pensary in connection with hospital work.

cialties and being in control of more or less restricted territory
 Through it's ability to tax competi- tion by putting up the prices of raw ma terials the trust finds itself in practically the same position held by the Standard Oil company during it's early years of struggle for supremacy. In the case of the Standard oil, the advantage was ob- tained by rebates from railroads, it's deal going so far as to collect a percentage of the freight paid by competitors. The day of freight rebates is supposedly past. but the device hit upon by the Steel Trust effects the same net result by an other route. It thus appears that the heavy hand of the Steel Trust is likely to be felt wherever there IS a sale for metal products. It has long been the an nounced purpose of the management of the great combination to keep it's mills going to the fullest possible capacity during lean years as well as fat years, and if this is done during hard times 1t must be at the expense of somebody else. There is substantial agreement among representatives of the iron and steel trade that prices are likely to continue to decline until they become attractive to consumers to the extent of restimu- lating activity in the various lines of construction. It is the hope and expecta tion of the great manufacturers of Iron products that the demand will be resumed in something like it's former extent before quotations decline far, but this leads them into the realm of speculation and conjecture Meantime the big trust is taking no chances and is going on the assumption that it is in for a long pull and that only early and persistent effort for business will keep it going under high pressure. Already notes of alarm are heard in Great Britain and Germany. which feel more severely than any other foreign nations the force and effect of stern competition from this side Manu- featuring conditions abroad will adjust themselves to the necessities of the times in the iron trade as they did in the flour milling trade which was at one time threatened with utter ruin on account of the invasion of the millers of the American northwest, who threw flour in the foreign markets by the millions of barrels at prices which defied competi- ton.

that his days for travelling were over as if
he were very sorry for II. He wanted to

hat has protected it, the skin is white. His
ewes are his greatest attraction, being large

the slightest provocation. But I'm told
they can be very stern and stormy at
times The mouth is large, the lips are full

Staggered by Audacity.
Everybody about the Vatican was stag
gered by the audacity of the proposition
from st. Louis for the holy see had never
taken part in an exposition, has never be-
fore been asked to take part in one and has
never sent a commissioner to any secular
assembly, while the treasures of the Vati-
can have never been allowed to leave the
palace for a moment for any reason If
they need attention men are brought to
them. The idea of sending any of them
across the ocean to another continent, half
way around the world was at first regarded
as too startling to consider
And to ask for cardinal commissioner
was even more prepoSterouS. Members of
the sacred college are not sent around on
such missions. especially to attend secular
gatherings. The legate who represented the
pope at the jubilee of Queen Victoria and at
the recent coronations of the kings of Eng
land and Spain. had the rank of monsignor
only and yet those Yankees asked that q
cardinal be sent to their exposition. 1t was
extraordinary. A witty member of the
curia expressed the sentiments of all con-
cerned when he inquired why we did not
