CARNEGIE'S EPITAPH
He Doesn't Want Any Dashes Between
the Letters Either.

Pittsburg Correspondence New York
Herald.
sThat IS damned white of tAndy'!'
This is to be the epitaph carved on
Andrew Carnegie s tomb. The Scotch
man declares in all seriousness that it
expresses sentiment he likes, and he
will insist on his wishes being carried
And want the adjective written
in full,O said Mr.. Carnegie. II want
no ID with a dash in it. Every
letter must be there
AS related today by a prominent res.
ident Of Pittsburg, an intimate friend
of Mr.. Carnegie, the story touches
John McLuckie, who was burgess of
Homestead during the big steel strike
Of 1892. McLuckie went to Texas and
had hard struggle for livelihood.
Several years ago Professor Van Dyke
of Rutgers college was travelling thru
the lone star state, and CHANGED to
friends. Returning to the east, Pro-
fessor Van Dyke told Mr.. Carnegie of
the heroic efforts the former burgess
was making for success. Mr.. Carne-
gle s heart was touched, and when
Professor Van Dyke finished his story
Mr.. Carnegie said: nThe next time
you see McLuckie tell him he can have
anything he wants.
In the course Of few months Pro-
fessor Van Dyke had occasion to re-
turn to Texas, and FASTENED to deliver
the good news.
ssNo, no. said McLuckie, .'I don 7
want assistance. I I'm very much obliged
to you, professor, but I m making good
and can continue to do SO if the Lord
gives me health.
- Why, the offer comes from Mr.: Car.
negie, :, answered Professor Van Dyke,
stThat's damned white of Andy'p
exclaimed McLuckie.
When Professor Van Dyke repeated
the conversation Mr.. Carnegie was de:
lighted with the epigram. He clapped
his hands and said: That sentiment
must go on my tomb. It will surely be
my epitaph.o
Mr.. Carnegie has often told the Incl
dent, and among his intimate friends
| the Carnegie epitaph is an open secret
McLuckie, the author of it, is still il
Texas.

AEROPLANE FLIES
ABOVE THE SEINE
FURTHER DETAILS OF M. ERNEST
ARCEIDEACoN's "K1TE.''
Motorboat Used to Start the Machine
Santos Dumont Extends Congratu-
lations Over the Successful Working
Of the Big Flier-No Balloon Feature
Used.

Paris--Details Of the recent aeroplane
ascension are still related with interest.
M. Ernest Archdeacon pins his faith
to the aeroplane and contends that IL
has advantages over the balloon form
of airships that make comparison out
of the question
Archdeacon machine differs from
the Knabenshue model in the one great
essential wings. The American g
model has no wings; the Frenchman s
model is all wings. Archdeacon's air
ship is q sort of magnifed kite.
1t is intended eventually to have a
device that will generate enough power
to life Archdeacon off the ground, and
give the start a boy gets for his kite
when he takes run before setting it
aloft. But at the time of the recent
experiment this had not been finished,
and to get the aeroplane into the air it
was necessary to have recourse to some
outside means. On land an automobile
would have answered the purpose. On
the water it was decided to use the
nearest approach to the horseless vehi-
Gle, SO the motorboat was pressed into
service.
The autoboat was placed on a raft
and attached to- the motorboat Lara
pierre. Voisin, the pupil and associate
of Archdeacon, took his place alone in
the center of the apparatus. At a sig
nal the autoboat was started at full
speed, and when it had gone but a
short distance the aeroplane began to
respond to the pressure Of the air on
its huge sides, and, trembling slightly
on the raft, it gradually rose clear,
and stood out above the wafer. Voisin
now quickly freed the aeroplane of the
fastenings that bound it to the Lora-
pierre and rose free Of everything. He
shot up into the air diagonally to a
height Of about 300 yards, and then he
cut a series of remarkable maneuvers,
turning quickly, going higher, coming
down, going in gradually widening
curves and taking all sorts of sudden
shoots.
After an exhibition that lasted a mat
ter Of an hour, and proved that he had
the machine under perfect control, Vol
sin gradually let it descend till it rested
gently on the bosom of the river. In

A POsTAGE-STAMP DRESS.
New York Tribune

E
More than thirty thousand postage
stamps were used in the making Of a
dress for a woman worn at a ball in
Bermuda. Years had been spent in
collecting the stamps, and three weeks
in making the dress, which was of the
finest muslin. The lady appealed to
her friends to help her, and the dress
was completely covered with stamps Of
was an eagle made entirely with brown
Columbian stamps. Suspended from the
talons was a globe made Of very old
blue revenue stamps. On either side Of
the globe was an American flag, the
lection Of foreign stamps Was pasted
on the back Of the bodice in the form
Of a shield, the center of which was
made up Of a portrait Of the brave Sir
George Summers, cut from old revenue
stamps. A large picture hat covered
with red and blue stamps was worn
with the costume.

the test he had fulfilled every promise
made by himself and partner for the
aeroplane. No less an authority than
Santos umont did not hesitate to ex-
tend congratulations.
The Archdeacon aeroplane follows in
it's essential lines the wonderful ma
chine constructed by Alder in 1897. This
was called the Avion, and had the most
powerful motor that had, up to that
time, ever been put on an airship. The
total cost of the Avion was 100000. Il
was not success, for in tests made at
tempting sn to raise too heavy weight
and owing to the immense outlay Of
mony required to repair it, it was sent
to the scrap heap. It is probable with
this failure in mind that Knabenshus
predicts the failure of all future aero
planes.

Farmers Alliance Litigation

To the Editor of The State:

To the Editor of The State.
The decision of the supreme
court dismissing the appeal from
Judge Garv's order, directing the
master of Ricbland county to adj
vertise for creditors and stock
holders of tho Farmers Alliance
exchange, appears to be based up
on question of fact raised by
testimony that there are no credi-
tors Of the exchange, and the
statement uf Messrs nj l. Donald.
son and j @ Colts attorney, who
declined to submit proof of the
alleged claims whi'e Mr. Donald
son was present Mt the reference.
1 desire, for the benefit of the
stockholders, who are numerous
throughout the State, 10 refer TO
the following extracts of the re-
port Of tho committee on litiga-
ton to tho county trustees.
"Ihe directors cannot recog-
nize the claims of Donaldson and
Colt az valid, and no others have
been presented The di-
rectors have no desire to dishonor
the exchange by m effort to avoid
payment of any just claims :.
On the Goth of May testimony
was taken by MI John S Werner,
master of Richland county
Mr. M l. Donaldson was present,
but did not undertake to prove
MS claim We say to
you gentlemen that there are no
creditors of the Farmers Alliance
exchange, aud we will defeat any
claims that are presented. We
care not where or when alleged
claimants file their claims the
courts are open to them, but in
Justice to ourselves, in Justice to
you, and in protection of the bene
ficiaries you represent, we protest
against the stockholders fling
their claims with the MASTER"
A full meeting of the county
trustees, to whom this report was
made, adopted the following re-
solution unanimously:
"Resolved, third. In compli-
ance with the request of the COM
mittee, we pledge ourselves not
to file any claim in court unless it
becomes necessary after final ad
judication."
The master of Rlchland county
advertised for claims, notwith-
standlng the appeal, but we have
had no notice that Messrs. Do.
