New York, Jan. 25.-R. G. Dun & Co. 3
Weekly Review of Trade says: Weather

fluences in the general trade situation.
To some extent traffic has been hindered,
especially at the east, but the latest re-
turns of railway earnings for January
show an increase of SO per cent. over
1903. Consumption of fuel was increased,
and retail trade in coal greatly expanded,
but no commensurate gain at first hands
is reported, owing to the large supplies
held by dealers Retail distribution of
footwear and heavy wearing appeared
felt the stimulus, and annual. clearance
sales removed accommodations of dry
goods. millinery, etc. Wholesale bust
ness is fairly active, travelling statesmen
sending in about average orders, and job
bling trade is normal. Manufacturing
plants are more active, with little change
in quotations, and the outlook for spring
trade is considered favorable. Collec-
lions are somewhat more prompt. Lead
ing staples have risen to new maximum
prices for the crop year Iron and steel
year have obtained sufficient business
to continue operating, and thus far the
adjustment of wages has not produced
the threatened strikes.
Failures this week numbered 358
in the United States against 265 last year,
and 33 in Canada compared with q a
year ago.

SENATOR BURTON INDICTED.
The Federal Grand Jury at ST. Louis
Charges Him with Accepting
Bride While in ONCE.

St Louis, Jan. %. The federal grand
jury Saturday returned an indictment
against Joseph Ralph Burton, United
States senator from Kansas, charging
him, on nine counts, with accepting five
checks of $500 each from the Rialto
Grain & Securities company, between
November, %, 1902, and March &c,
1908, while a United States senator,
for his alleged services in interceding
with the postmaster general, chief post

fee officials to induce them to render a
favorable decision in matters affecting
the permission of the Rialto company to

president of the company, and W. B. Me-
haney, associated with him, are named
in the indictment as the men who made
the check to Burton.
The Rialto Grain & Securities COM
pany has been under investigation by
the state courts for several months, on
account of internal troubles and the

any of them.

public has not grown weary reading
these stories. The fact of the matter is,
that in Andrew Carnegie, the philan-
thropist and public benefactor, the world
has been given a new view of the rich
man and his money. Never before in the
history of man has such settled policy
for the distribution of an immense for
tune by an individual in his lifetime
been heard Of
There are at least two distinct epochs
in the life of Mr. Carnegie-one marked
by the accumulation of wealth, the 9TH
er by the administration of wealth. The
story of his career, from the time he
came to this country with his parents
and brother and started to work in cot
ton factory at Allegheny City as 'bobbin
boy" at $1.20 week until he welded to-
gether the gigantic steel corporation, and
left its active management to others,
reads like romance. But the story of
the accumulation of Andrew Carnegie's
fortune, while intensely interesting and
while it shows what young man can
accomplish who is not afraid of hard
work, who is ambitious and who has
the business instinct and foresight, still
1t is not strikingly different from the
biographies of other of the worlds sue
cessful business men. The story of the
accumulation of wealth is an old one.
But the story of the administration of
wealth as exempplified by Mr.. Carnegie
is unique and unparalleled. 1t warns
the public heart with the thought of a

among his subjects at the Tir aux
Pigeons at Cascaes or elsewhere in his
own dominions, nearly always winning
the prize and never taking it. When

new relationship between wealth and
men to pause and ponder anew the re-
sponsibilities of their possessions. AS
an accumulation of wealth Mr. Carnegie's
history is closed AS an administrator
Of wealth Mr. Carnegie has, is might be
said, only begun career and his achieve
promises to be even more remarkable
than those of his active business life,
and he is bringing to bear upon this new
task to which he has called himself the
same hard common sense, the same bust
ness abilities, the same integrity of pur-
pose, as characterized him as the builder
of fortune.
Mr.. Carnegie in his Gospel of
Wealth" clearly states his position. Aft
er calling attention to the three modes
in which surplus wealth can be disposed
OF, namely: BY inheritance to the fam
lily of the decedent; by bequest to public
and philanthropic purposes, and by ad-
ministration during the lifetime of the
possessor, he argues to show why the
last named method is the wisest and
best. And true to his convictions, Mr..
Carnegie is Systematically and thor
oughly carrying out his plans and giving
a practical working demonstration of
the best and highest mission Of the rich
man.
The tremendous task to which Mr.. Car.

still presumably remain to Mr.. Carnegie
he must melt his gold or distribute his
money at a rate of eight notes minute
day in and day out, making no deduc-
tons either for sleeping time or Sundays.
Even at that rate he will still have his
6 % 900 900 left for his heirs"
But Mr.. Carnegie does not distribute
his wealth in that way. He has very posi-
tive views in regard to his benevoiences
and like the stubborn Scotchman that
he is, he never swerved from the one rule
of helping those who help themselves,
and never helping directly an individual.
1t would take big volume to tell of all
the channels which have felt the thrill
of the golden stream of his wealth. As
the American public already knows Mr..
Carnegie's favorite form of gifts is in IL
braries to cities, and the amount which
he gives is based upon the amount which
the city pledges itself to raise yearly
for the maintenance of the library. So
far there are nearly 200 of these Car
negie libraries in this country, extending
from Maine to California and from the
Gulf to Canada. The little land of Scot
land is dotted with over score of these
monuments to education, and England
and Ireland have not been forgotten.

The German kaiser is a keen and
skilled performer with the gun, and
his prowess is the more remarkable
because one hand is comparatively use

or the elder ones, to be exact-are
