MAKES SOME SUGGESTIONS
Thinks Carnegie to Be Consistent
Should Have His Servants Eat With
Him at the Table-sussests That
skibo Castle Be Run On the FcudaI
System.

New York, April 27.The Duke OF
Manchester, who is in town for a few
DAYS before returning to England. was
asked whether he had noticed Andrew
Curnegie's comparison OF dukes ana
coachmen in connection with the mar
riage of his niece, Miss Nancle Carne-
gle. to James Herver, formerly groom
In the family.
ID was much edited by Mr.. Car
nerie's announcement that he preferrel
a coachman to a duke as nepheW-lh-
law" replied the duke. perhaps. ai'
things considered, it is more appro-
nriate For once 1 am able to compll-
ment Mr.. Carnegie on his sense o.
fitness"
"Do YOU mean that Mr. Carnegie Ia
not sincere in his protest OF de1'loc-
racy?" he was asked. And ne maae
hasty correction:
"Please do not get such an IDEA as
that. On the contrary, Mr. Carhesle >
utterances have convinced me that ne
ts Mt heart a thorough democrat. IL is,
- snppose. the conditions In Great
britain that have compelled him TO
attempt to reconcile a democratic MN
with 81 body living In q feudal castle
surrounded by more than feudal lux
ury.
II wonder that he has not ere now
CARRIED ont the feudal idea Of presiding
at a common table for his whole mousse
hold. For surely one cannot WISH one
relatives to marry a class OF people
whom one is not willing TO ask 70 one :
own table.
Do not misunderstood me. ! thoi-
ouphly appreciate Mrs. HeVers Posi-
ton in the affair. She apparently mas
married the man she loves, whlch -
the only proper and right marriase
for a girl to make and l believe II is
the kind. the lovely and intelligent Am
erjcan girl nearly always does MAKE.
The story of Dick Wilmington is 70 me
most sympathetic.
"you spoke of Mr.. Carnegie's feudal
life at Skibo Castle" was suggested.
rs he not at the same time distribute
;np an enormous fortune in a. phllah-
thropic manner?" The duke replied:
81 have had an opportunity of seeing
the working of some Of Mr. Carnegles
free libraries in Great Britain. Inc
idea is grand, but alas, some OF the
landowners on the other side at least,
are perverted enough not to appreciate
the privilege of being allowed TO SUD-
scribe anonymously to Mr.. Carnegle's
extensive scheme of advertising.
"In some cases in England OF be-
quests of Mr. Carnegie of smaller sums
ranging from $4,000 to $4,000, the town
to which the grant is made is practl-
cally owned by one or two men. AS
the grant is only conditional to the
provisions of free site, and the nm
posing of the highest possible tax. TINS
as a rule means that the local lano-
owner gives more in cash besides pay
ing all the maintenance of the library
which is to bear Mr. Carnegie's name.
Tn other cases the burden of conditions
falls in many instances on very poor
people, who find the gift almost 1mpos-
stble Of acceptance because they can
not afford the extra 2-pence on the
rates besides the cost Of the site"

carneaie,s Retort.

New York April 27-That an hon
est coachman such as James never
who married Miss Nancy Carnegie, Is
hetter than a worthless duke is still
the contention of Andrew Carnegie de-
spite the statement of the duke OF
Manchester that he was highly edited
by the steel kings expression OF opln-
ion at the time that the marriage OF
his niece was announced. Mr.. car
negie replied indirectly to the duke by
saying:
~ specifically said "a worthless
duke Surely the cap does not nj the
duke Of Manchester
Somebody laughed and the steel king
interposed with shadow of a smile
beneath his white beard.
"Don't laugh. Mine is the retort
courteous"
Mr. Carnegie sailed on the Baltic for
brief visit in London, followed by a
long rest at Skibo Castle and a speech
at Edinburgh before he returns to New
York late in October. He was accom-
panied by his wife, his daughter Mar
garet and four servants.
The ironmaster smiled and stroked
his beard before he declared that he
had specified worthless dukes, and that
the cap could not fit his grace of Man
chester.
But" said Mr.. Carnegie, II believe
in Judging men by their innate manli-
ness There are certain standards by
which. we measure all men, dukes or
Goa chmen If they measure we'll, very
good. If they do not, rank or lack Of
rank, should not interfere with our
decision"
Mr.. Carnegie was reminded that the
duke of Manchester had said in refer
ence to having coachmen at the table:
"For surely one cannot wish ones re-
lations to marry class of people
whom one is not able to ask to ones
own table,
Mr., Carnegie once more stroked his
beard, and for a moment watched the
coaling of the Cedric at the next pier
Finally he wheeled about and said: Il
believe in asking anyone who is worthy
to eat at ones table, but there are GER
tain social conditions, which, right or
wrong, have become recognized by long
usage, that make it inadvisable to have
ones servants eat at ones table. A
desire for privacy and consideration for
the prejudices of ones guests may en-
ter into this feeling among those who
do not share in the sense of social dis
tinction."
When asked what his opinion of
tainted money was, he replied:
Regarding that do not care to
speak; but I will say that before I Of
fer money to any cause always ascer-
tain whether or not 1t will be accept
abls.'

resentatives of twenty-eight of the
strongest business houses OF the city.
all members of the association, agreed
that the fight against 'dictatorial UNI
ionism" should proceed whatever
might be the consequences.
The policy Of mo discrimination
was abandoned by unanimous consent.
Henceforth, it was agreed, the employ
ers are to be arrayed against their UNI

sue. 1t was declared that hereafter
labor not allied to the present unions
would be given the preference by the
Employers Teaming Association.
AT the same hour in which the meet
ing of the employers was held So
sion Of the Transfers Joint counch2

President Shea delivered an impas-
sionate speech, and as result the UNI
ion representatives voted to continue,
or 'rehabilitate" the teamsters' strike
against Ward g. Co. This action was
taken just before midnight.
Tho the action of the teamsters was
not known to the employers when the
latter reached their decision, it was
Nat 1,nj,.
radical stand might result today in a
deadlock of teaming in the city.
The stand taken by the employers at
their meeting, which was held in the
Union League club, was based on the
supposed ultimatum Of the unionists-
confirmed later-that the teamsters'
union was prepared to fight the issue
to a finish unless the employers We're
willing to meet its concessions, and re-
hire it's striking members.
This proposition was vetoed by the
merchants unreservedly, and prepara-
tions were made to conduct the team
ing business of every member of the
Employers Association with non-union
teamsters today provided sufficient
police protection We're possible.
At the conclusion of the meeting it
was announced that a number of the
largest teaming companies OF the city
had been fully or partly absorbed by
the associations new company, includ-
ing Henry Hough & Co, Arthur Dixon
s. Co., and the teams of the E. f. Dam
iels Coal Company.
More than 100 teams will be avail
able for the association at daybreak,
and this number will be more than
doubled before nightfall," said one
member of the Employers.

Extent of Patent Medicine.

Take all the cocoa and chocolate
manufactured in this country in year.
Add all the backing and bluing, the
favoring and extracts, and the axle
grease. Take next a years product OF
that beet sugar industry which was
important enough to hold up a great
treaty for two years in the congress
Of the United States. Throw on all
the glue. the refined lard, the castor
oil, the perfumes and cosmetics and
the hndling wood. Finally put on top
of the pile the entire output Of ink
and mucilage. The total value of this
accumulation will still be less than
that of years product Of what we call
patent medicines"
The census of 1900 placed the value
Of patent medicines" produced In this
country annually at $59,611,S35. AS the
average profit is about one-third, this
means that the sum paid over the re-.
tail druggists counters, taking in the
last four years, Is something like
$50, 900, 900 a year, about dollar for
every man, woman and child In the

CHICAGO STRIKE SPREADS.
lnstsad Of Being Settled Strike is More
Serious Than Ever.

Chicago, April 27.-InStead OF being
settled, as was predicted Tuesday
night, the strike of the teamsters at
the establishment of Montgomery
Ward & Co. has spread to other firms,
and the indications last night are that
before the controversy is finally adj
justed general strike of the union
neamsters employed turnout the city
will be called.
The demand of the Chicago Employ
ers' association that all teamsters de-
liver goods to Montgomery Ward &
Co., under penalty of instant discharge,
resulted last night in the spread of the.
strike to four other business establish
ments. These. are Carson, Prize, Scott
& Co, Marshall Field & Co, j. v. Far
well & Co., and the Forbes Carriage
Company.
The first teamsters to be drawn into
what promises to be a general strike
were forty-eight employed by j. ".
Farwell & Co. These men quit when
one of their number was discharged for
refusing to haul a load of merchandise
to the store of Montgomery Ward &
Co. The same procedure was followed
at the establishments Of Marshall Field
& Co., and Carson, Pierre, Scott & Co.,
where several drivers were discharged
by each 1rrn for a. similar cause. The
men Of the Forbes Carriage Company
went out last night when one of their
men were discharged for refusing to
take load of goods consigned to
Montgomery Ward & Co. In all about
500 men are involved so far the Forbes
Company having lost half of the total
number.
The spread of the strike threatens
to continue tomorrow. An understand
Ing, 1t is said, has been reached among
all the union teamsters in all the var
ious barns thruout the city that when
ever one of their number is discharge
for not making deliveries to Mont
gomery Ward & Co., all the men in the
barn will quit work. The men Of the

SAYS eLIDDEN SPEAKS uNrRurH
Starr J. Murphy, of RockefeIIer's Pri-
vate Counsel Defends Magnate.

New York, April 26.-1n statement
issued yesterday, Starr j. Murphy, of
John D. Rockefeller's private counsel,
defends the latter in the attacks made
upon him by Washington GLADDEN., and
declares that DR.. Gladden's statement
is untrue, and his whole charge of per-
jury rests upon garbled report
"In his latest attack upon Mr..
Rockefeller" says Mr.. Murphy, DR.
washington GLADDEN. seeks to make out
case of perjury, and in doing so as
sumes a paternity for a falsehood
which has been frequently published
during the last ten years and until now
never answered.
"Dr. GLADDEN. says: The South I'm
provement Company was one of the
schemes invented by the Standard Oil
magnates to plumber their competitors
and enrich themselves. The organiza-
ton and the methods Of this company
were abundantly proved in court and
the company was driven out of bust
ness. A few years afterward before a
committee of the New York legislature
Mr. Rockefeller under oath took part
in the following coMoquy:
"'"There was such company"
"'"I have heard of such a COM

stood the name of John d. Rockefel-
ler.'
DIR. GLADDEN. makes much of his
position as an original investigator and
says that it is within the power of
every intelligent nan to find out from
the original documents whether the
statement is true or not.
But unfortunately his statement is
untrue, and his whole charge of per-
jury rests upon a garbled report. The
testimony is taken from "a report of an
investigation relative to trusts, New
York senate, 1883, pages 1920. Any
