CARNEGlES GIFT
TO BALTIMORE.
The Steel magnate Promised
$263,000 to Replace a
Burned Institute.

Baltimore, Jan. 1.-Soon after the
fire Of last February the trustees oi
the Maryland Institute, which was
entirely destroyed, made a statement
Of their losses to Andrew Carnegie
and asked his aid. The correspon.
dence which followed has led to the
proposition contained In the follow.
ing letter, now made public ss q New
Years gift to the residents Of this
city:
Dec 8, 1904. My Dear DR.. Gil.
man: Yours oi Dec. 2 received. Az
! understand the situation the total
assets Of the Maryland Institute are
$263,00O, Insurance, $4,000; en-
dowment, $4,000; contribution
from state, $4,000. The city Of
Baltimore furnished the institute
with y site and 1t seems reasonable
to expect that the city would not d.
less when the institute is ready to re-
build.
Ipresume that an amount equal
to what it has now, say $263, 900
would provide u suitable building
the site being given by the city. 4
this can be arranged, 1t will give MT
great pleasure to furnish that sum
which would duplicate the assets
Tor the erection of the bu ling.
Very truly yours,
| ANDREW CARNEGIE.
