The Carneqie Institute.

Yesterday was great day for Pitts
burg and for Andrew Carnegie" The
Carnegie Institute probably the most
notable of all the many objects of the
great ironmastcrS beneficencc. was
duly dedicated with imposing cerc-
monies and in the presence of a great
number of leading men in all fields of
human endeavor and from many diff
ferent countries. The exercises will
continue through today and tomorrow.
No such establishment as this Carnegie
Institute has ever been financed by a
single man. II began first as a library
about fifteen years ago and to this has
been added from time to time n
museum. Il department Of fine arts. an
enormous music hall, numerous tech
nical schools. etc. Mr.. Carnegie has
thus far spent over S2OOOO.O00 upon
the institute and it is not yet COM

and conatin 16 acres of floor space and

that until his visit yesterday Mr.. Car
negie has not visited the plant since
the first building was erected nor even
examined the plans or photographs of
the new buildings He simply placed
his millions at the disposal of a board
of trustees and left the details large
and small, in their hands.
Mr. Carnegie. in his desperate efforts
to die poor has given Scores of millions
to building libraries, to endowing uni
versities. TO creating hero funds. and
to many worthy causes. but on no one
object has he bestowed so much money
as upon this institute at Pittsburg and
doubtless he will give it many millions
more to provide for its current ex-
penses. Such a great enterprise COM
bining both the useful and the heauti-
full. cannot fail TO prove of great edu-
cational value to Pittsburg and the
State of Pennsylvania during the COM
ing years. and its influence will also
be felt generally throughout the coun-
try. No other city has anything just
like it, but only Pittsburg has a
Carnegie.

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The Legislative Appropriations.
tE'armington Chronicle.)

tF dlI1llnSIOn tnrOnNle.)
The appropriations by the last LeGisla-
ture We're over thirty per cent. in excess
of the preceding Legislature. but that
does not make them excessive. The
State tax will be higher, but the result i'll
time ought to lower town appropriations
The strong socialistic tendency Of asking
the State 10 do SO many things which
were formerly done locally results in
larger State appropriations. The good
roads bill fixes a tax of one-third of IL
mill on the States valuation. the appro-
pria:ions for the Predetermined, for the
blind, for the State university Increased
from So .0Oc to S110GN,. tho increased cost
of the insane and numerous other objects
such as fifty per cent. increase in the
school fund-all these things take none,
and when we ask the State to do them
we simply shift the taxation from the
local community to the State Wild
lands, railroads, telegraph. telephone and
express companies must pay more and
the small property owner on farms and
in villages may pay less. We can't ask
the State to do all these things and at
the same tune prevent the appropriations
from going up.

CHARLES LEVERS FINE EXCUSE
Great Irish Novelist Evidently Hard
Man to Corner.

Like the gentlemen in his novels,
the Irish writer, Charles Lever, car
ried his responsibilities with auda-
cious ease.
In 1869, when he was consul at
Trieste, he paid a visit to England
On his arrival, says his latest biogra-
pher, Edmund Downey, he called on
Lord Lytton. The two novelists chat
ted for some time and at length Lord
Lytton said:
81 am so glad for many reasons to
see you here You will have an op-
portunity presently of meeting your
chief. Clarendon. l expect him every
moment"
Lever was aghast He recollected
suddenly that he had left Trieste with
out obtaining formal leave. He en-
deavored to excuse himself to Lytton
he had to be off-he was very sorry,
but. While he was explaining, the
minister for foreign affairs was an
nounced.
"Ah, Lever" said Lord Clarendon,
in surprise. 81 did not know you had
left Trieste"

RUSSELL SAGE cAsHED CHECK.
Just Like Finding Money" Said Wall
Street Financier.

Russell Sage once cashed check
for four cents, and as he did so it Is
said that he remarked: 1T was just
like finding money, just like picking
it up from the sidewalk. The check
came in a letter. 1t was from a the
atrical firm, calling his attention to
their new play then running at the
theater, and enclosing this check to
pay for the time used in reading the
letter. This was the note:
Assuming that your income is $15,-
900 a year, and that you appreciate
the fact that time is money, we in
close check for four cents in payment
of two minutes of your time at that
rate, to be employed in carefully read
ing brief and honest statement OF

Such letters were sent to many
wealthy New Workers, but it is said
that Mr. Sage was about the only one
who cashed the check.
