CARNEGIE'S WORDS OF GOOD
 CHEER FOR SOUTHERN STATES

II Carnegie was introduced to Mrs. w. Everit Macy. whom he had never be- | fore met. There was a sly. almost bashful smile from the little man as | he shook hands with the lady. and | then turned to receive the greetings of the rest of the party
 At this juncsure a messenger touch | ed MT. ogden on the arm. and that gentleman turned to the party. We are under arrest, and are com manded to go to the reviewing stand where we may see the troops go past, | he said. facetiously.
 Well if am to go to jail" said Mir. Carnegie, q choose to go with. he hesitated a moment. looking around the party, "I elect to go with Mrs. Macy" And the party set out.
 The above Is about an example Of the shrewd wit of this wonderful Scotch man. His sense of the humorous puts itself in evidence every hour of the day.
 Speaks of His Daughter.
 A little later he was standing with a party of friends. when he noticed that a woman photographer representing northern firm. had been taking snap shots of him for the last five minutes. That is one of the most taking wom- en I ever met" he said. and then call ed the object of his remark to the par ty, and told her about his little girl and her camera. And it took only minute for the woman and the others in the party to discover that the little girl of Andrew Carnegie is just little bit cleverer than any ones else daugh- ter ever was. He would probably have talked about her indefinitely, had not one of the other members of the party happened to have daughter who also was about the brightest bit of feminf- nifty that ever existed When both started on the subject. their interests c1ashed ,and the topic was changed.
 When ii came time for the morning exercises, MT. Carnegie played truant Pleading a desire to go through his H. brary, he excused himself from Mir Ogden and the rest of the party and hastened away before anyone could stop him
 But he did not go far. As he was leaving the vicinity of the church, the choir within broke into a hymn. Halt ing. the little man turned to the right about. and walking slowly, marched up to the walls of the building. and stood silent and unobserved, without the window, where he could get the full benefit of the volume of sound from within
 There the multi millionaire stood, motionless, until the singing had been concluded. When he came away after the IaSI note ne was Qu1eI TOT awhile. At last his feelings found voice.
 That Is the most magnificent musrc I ever heard,' he said at last emphati cally. The human voice Is the great est organ of the expression of music. A Patron of Music. MT. Carnegie Is, and has always been a patron of music. Although his name | is not to be found on the roll of sub | scribers to schools where they teach | theology, he has been president | of musical societies for the last l twenty-five years, and has do- | mated immense sums for the teaching , of the human voice. He believes that if 1 he is ever brought to see the beauties /, of pulpit religion. it will be through the influence of music.
 As the millionaire approached the H. brary for which he donated the money. | he looked at 1t admiringly. T gave | $25, 900 for that library" he said, and I should like to give them the contract for erecting all the libraries at twice | that amount"
 Investigation proved that the door was locked and that the librarian had gone to the chapel services. and Mir. Carnegie then wended his way back to ! the train.
 Speaking of the negro librarie which have been proposed in Charlotte, At lanta and Montgomery, MT. Carnegie said that he had been approached in regard to the matter. and was giving 1t earnest consideration. "I have placed Montgomery in the first rank when do make any donations of that character, |, he said. You may be sure off that" | His last words to your correspo ndent were of interest in and good will for the Capital City. Yes. Montgomery Is in my good books You may tell the people that if you wish
 The ogden Specially | Never has a train come to Tuskegee which has been 90 well appointed throughout as the ogden special which yesterday brought the members of tho Armstrong Association party to this place from New York. There have in deed, been few trains in the history O. railroading in this country which hay, been more elaborately equipped. The people who are riding on it. are people who have wealth, who are accustomed to the best, and for whom nothing that money can buy in the way of goot living, is too good.
 From the first car of the train, t, the observation coach on the rear, thu equipment and service Is perfection complete.
 The ogden special consists of tel cars. Owing to the steep grade iron Chehaw to Tuskegee. it was necessar! to use not only the locomotive whicl had drawn the train from Atlanta, bu also the engine on the local Tuskege, Railroad as well. And at that 1t wal close pull. and hard pull.
 Of the ten cars on the train. two ar, dining coaches, one a combination caf and smoking coach. one coach is uset for baggage. one is an observation coach, and five are stateroom coarches all fitted up in the most Luxurious style.
 Coach With n History.
 There is one of the coaches which hal a special history. Constructed tho spring of the Columbian Exposition il Chicago, in 1893 it was used on specia trains to the White City by the lak' during that summer, and since then ha! been used almost exclusively on trans continental trips, except during the Pan- American Exposition at Buffalo and the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in st. Louis two years ago.
 Its greatest distinction. however. i: that it was the car in which the body O. President William Mckinley wa: carried from Buffalo to Washington and from the Capitol of the former home of the martyred chief executive in Canton. ohio. The name of the cal is the Pacific. It's history is full O important events and when it at las iS too old for use. it will deserve a fat, better than that which usually is meteC their usefulness
 The active preparations for the trll were looked after by George A. Me
