afternoon, after having participated in
the dedication of the new Carnegie Insti-

reached the East Liberty station this
| morning they were accompanied by no
one except two detectives A few of the
distinguished institute guests were also
at the depot to take the same train for

cupied seats in the regular chair car.
before he left he declared that he never
felt better in his life, although he is still
tired out He insists that the completion
| OF the institute has made him happier
than any other event in his life.

ponds on our young men, and l know of
no better field for them than in the iron
