McDaniels house late Saturday night
and attempted to enter the negro's
house through the door, which some
member of the crowd opened by un-

The very best dressmakers always

TO PENSION PROFESSORS.
Muniflcient Gift Of Andrew Carnegie
For The Purpose of Assisting Needy
Ex.1eachers.

New York, Special.-A gift Of $10,-
5000 by Andrew Carnegie to provide
annuities for college professors who are
not able to continue in active service,
was announced by Frank A. Vanderlip,
vice president of the National City
Bank, of New York. Professors in the
United States, Canada and Newfound-
land will share in the distribution or
The income of the fund. United States
Steel Corporation per cent. trst
mortgage bonds for $10,0O0,OOO have
been transferred to a board OF trus-
tees, and steps will be taken at once
to organize a corporation to receive
the donation. DR.. Pritchett, president OF
the Massachusetts Institute Of Techno-
logy, and Mr.. Vanderlip have been Sc
lected by Mr.. Carnegie to obtain data
on the subject, to be presented at the
first meeting of the board of trustees,
which will take place on November
18th. The bonds have par value OF
s11, 100000 and will produce an annual
income of s50O,OOO. The corporation
which is being formed will be styled
.'the Carnegie Foundation"
Mr.. Carnegie's secretary has sent a
letter to the press, giving the forego-
ing information and inclosing letter
from Mr.. Carnegie, dated April lSth,
which says, in part:
"I have reached the conclusion that
the least rewarded Of all professions
is that Of the teacher in our higher edu-
cational institutions. New Lork city
generously, and very wisely, provides
retiring pensions for teachers in her
public schools and also for her police
men. Very few, indeed, of our col
leges are able to do so. The conse-
quences are grievous. Able men hesl.
tate to adopt teaching as career, and
many old professors, whose places
should be occupied by younger men,
cannot be retired" =.
Mr.. Carnegie says that the fund Will
apply to universities, colleges anu
technical schools without regard to
race, sex, creed or COLOR" but not
to institutions supported by State or
colonial governments. Another class
excluded is sectarian institutions. On
ly such as are under control cl sect,
or require trustees, or majority there
Of, or officers, faculty or students to
belong to any specified sect, or which
impose any theological test, are to be
excluded"
Mr.. Carnegie specifies the duties OF
the trustees, and concludes with the
hope that "this fund may do much
for the cause of higher education and
to remove a source of deep and con-
stant anxiety to the poorest paid, and
yet one OF the highest, of all rrofes-
sions.,n,

This movement came at the psycho-

solitary souls were brooding over the
needy conditions of certain localities
with which experienc eshassmade

ception Of need was associated a con-

ton of mind solely confined to the iso-
lated and obscure? Men of large pub.
lie affairs, women socially prominent,
were both equallys anxious and sadly
doubtful. Here a voice had been
raised, there little local effort had
been started. and beyond this the pro-
phets were beginning both persuasion
and provision. Then followed the
awakening of the earnest and anxious

was promptly created. Symptoms OF
