Not Disgrace to Die
SnfSanf nc

New York. April 3ss~s.si never said ttias
to die rich was TO die disgraced.sS
Thus spoke Andrew Carnegie last night
after he had footea mp mis- nnflltHied
promises to colleges and libraries at the
close of business hours and learned that
they amounted to sI7, 100000. Turning from
the contemplation OF this, which did not
disturb him insthe least, he said
What did say WAS much ssrs7sessSt-
Bile and much nearer the truth. Some time
We will discuss it.
III DO not expect to impoverish myself
but / hope to set in motion systems OF
wise and practical benevoicnce which,
with what fortune u leave. may be wisely
and probably employed BY those who
come after me. Tam satisfied with what
have accomplished thus far. but ! should
not be if i did not believe that what 4 be-
gan Will continue after i have gone. 1t
is not whatsI am able to- give, but what
1 am able To induce others to give which
does the real goodI seek to accomplish.
Is No Philanthropist.
II object to the term ph.lanthropist
when applied to myself. always under
stand it to mean a man with more money

dcavoring to apply the same business prin-
ciples which have enabled me to put n
self in the position to do what am doing.

a 1t will do more harm than good in most
instances to place at their disposal q con-
siderable. sum of money TO be employedin
any way which might crafty the imrnedi-y

II must be assured first that there ex-s

y by the resources at the command OF the
trustees. i must then be assured that the
enterprise is one which has a reason for
/ being, which il managed wisely and con-
servatively has a reasonable chance of be-
coming self-sustaiHing. My secretary Mr..
Bartram, receives all applications for gifts
before they come to my attention, and he
is an expert.
Il do no. object to a school conducted
under the patronage of a denomination
t IL 1t prospers by reason of such
patronage. In case ii school Is so strictly
guarded that 1t makes the acceptance of
It's tenets a condition of matriculatton
am free to say it does not interest me-
