Following this total OF $1S,1SS, 1888

come galleries, museums and histori-

with $4,S00,000; hospitals, $2,543,u0O;
libraries, $1,483,OOO, and miscellaneous
charities, $16,005,00o.
1t is of interest to see how the gifts
of 1904 compare in these bulk items
with the benefactions made by Amer
leans in 1908. In four departments
hospitals and miscellaneous charities,
churches, galleries and gifts made to
causes outside the United States
there has been a gain, but the loss
found in the other two a little more
than Offset this, so that the twelve
month closes it's record just $21S,217
behind that left by its elder sister.
Nine persons have given from one
million dollars to nearly 21 million
dollars each, the total of their gifts
rising to $4S,997, 500; and three others
tread so cosely upon the million line
as to demand admission to this roll of
honor with aggregate benefactions of
$2,482.000 more. AS was to nave
been expected Mr.. Carnegie leads the
1ists-still livingu up to his announced
belief that private fortune is mere.
