NEW CARNEGIE FUND.
lie Provides Pensions For State
University Professors.
EXCLUDED IN FORMER GIFT.
Donor Believed They Preferred to
Continue Relations With Employers,
but Educators Differed With Him.
Amount of Benefaction $4,000, 900.


New York, April 4.-Continuing his
policy of providing for the old age or
disability of college professors, as ex-
pressed in the $1O,O0O0O0 Carnegie
Foundation For the Advancement of
Teaching, Andrew Carnegie has added
| 100000 to the fund for the pension
ing Of eligible professors of state uni
versities, expressly excluded from the
benefits of the old fund.
The Carnegie foundation was estab-
lished by Mr. Carnegie on April q,
1905, with gift of trust fund of
$10,000,000 in per cent first mortgage
bonds Of the United States Steel corpo-
ration. This fund was placed in the
care of trustees who include the presi-
dents of the better known colleges and
universities Of the country. The reve-
nue. of the fund provides pensions for
teachers of universities, colleges and
technical schools in the United States,
Canada and Newfoundland who are
or having reached the age Of sixty-five
years have taught fifteen years pre-
ceding. From the benefits of the trust
were excluded professors in institu-
tons supported by state or colonial
government and schools under secta-
rian control.
Differed With Donor Of Fund.
No provision was made for this class
of educators in the original gift for
the reason, stated by Mr.. Carnegie at
the time, that the donor thought it
possible that such institutions might
prefer that their relations should con-
tinue exclusively with the state from
which their chief support is derived.
This view was not taken by the Ma
tional Association of State Universe
ties, which in the year following the
establishment of the foundation petit
toned the trustees for admittance to
the benefits of the retiring allowance
system. 1t was then found that the
earnings of the original fund of S10,-
100000 were exhausted through the
outlet already planned and that if the
faculties of all state universities were
to be benefited an additional 100000
would be required.
The situation was placed formally
before Mr.! Carnegie by DR.. Henry s.
Pritchett president Of the Carnegie
Foundation For the Advancement of
Teaching, on March 81, and on that
same day Mr.. Carnegie replied that the
money would be forthcoming for any
state institution whose application re-
ceived the approval Of the legislature
and governor Of its state. The addi-
tional donation will be in per cent
bonds, so providing an added annual
Income Of $250,O00 and a total for year
ly disbursement Of S750,000.

STILL BEHIND LAST YEAR.
Business Better Than In 1906 In Some
Sections, but Much Below Normal.

oeCtions, put Mucn Below normal.
New York, April Ar. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
While the volume of business is still
much below normal, moderate i'm
provement is constantly noted, al
though the rate Of progress is very diff
ferent In the leading centers of trade.
Some sections are regaining the lost
ground rapidly, and 1t is not unusual
to find reports of a larger business
than at the same time in 1906, but
losses are still the rule in comparison
with last year. Aside from the idle
ness at bltuminous coal mines. which
is not expected TO be prolonged, April
did not bring any serious labor dis
putes, and many wage earners were
enabled to resume work by accepting
small reductions in pay.
Weather conditions have continued
TO facilitate retail distribution of
spring merchandise. while the advanc-
ed season gives the agricultural inter
ests a better start than usual. Rail.
way earnings thus far reported for
March decreased 1876 per cent as com.
pared with 1907, and foreign com.
nerce at this port alone for the latest
week shows a gain Of $2236.413 in
exports and a loss OF SS.646.S2s in i'm.
ports as compared with the same week
s-st year. ssas.;-:s-c turing conditions
are little altered. about 80 per cent Of
the iron and steel producing capacity
being in operation, and the increased
business received by footwear facto.

VALUE OF SOUR MILK
Bishop FaIIows Predicts Long
Life In Drinking Lots of It.
TWO OR THREE TIMES A DAY
Man Ought to Quaff Il and Live One
Hundred and Twenty Years, Says Re-
on Scientific Principles, He Says.

Samuel Fallows, bishop of the Re-
formed Episcopal church and founder
Of Christian psychology, combination
Of faith cure and medicine, now in
his seventy-third year, believes that
men ought TO be in their prime at
eighty and live to be 100 years old.
Here is the explanation he gave the
other night at Chicago:
Drink sour milk or pure buttermilk
two or three times a day.
Avoid too strenuous living.
Go to bed early and get up with the
rising sun.
Take plenty of exercise of a kind
not associated with your actual en-
ployment.
Obey rigidly the laws of hygiene.
Keep a clear conscience.
Love God and be square with your
fellow man.
Drink some more sour milk.
The prelate said: Il am indebted for
my material to three sources:
"FirSt.-The Bible.
"Second-A newly published book
by Professor Ellie Metchnikoff, a
French scientist.
''Third.-Science in general.
'Metchnikoff, one of the professors
in the Pasteur institute in Paris. is
the greatest exponent in the world Of
the theories of Darwin. 1t is his bust
ness to hunt up diseases and their
remedies In new book Metchnikoff
points out that the reason men do not
live to a great age is because under
modern conditions the arteries harden
with advancing age, due to deposits Of
calcareous substances.
HE has discovered that the antidote
for this condition is sour milk. The
sheaths Of the arteries are softened by
the milk. The principle, he says, is as
sound as the virus theory in hydropho-
bia and antitoxia and vaccination for
other ailments.
''Metchnikoff declares that sour milk
or pure buttermilk should be drunk
twice or three times day.
HE declares that fifty years would
be added to the lives Of aged persons
If they did so. Now. in the Old Tesla
ment, just after the flood, the prophet
Of God said, And the days of man are
100 years
at was centuries later that the
psalmist said. The days Of man are
thraaScore and ten years.
Now, as to the scientific theory,
research has proved that the multiple
Of adolescence in animals is six-that
is, they ordinarily live six times the
length of their infancy. Man reaches
maturity at twenty years. Multiplying
that by six gives 100 years, the natural
age of man, according TO the laws that
govern animals of the lower orders.
Now, with man the multiple is only
three and half-that is, if he reaches
maturity at twenty he has lived almost
a third of his existence according to
the present standard and length of life.
This IS not natural, and the rea-
son is that man does not live naturally
and does not take the proper precaH-
lions until too late"
The rules of the average Chicagoan
for reaching 120 years are late hours.

of bad habits.

that u great many licensed dogs We're

For Tariff Revision.

Of his position on the tariff. lie is for

sixty first Congress. to be called I'M

March 4, 1903. His ideas az 10 what

Jsigher than this difference he believes
nre not only unnecessary as means OF
Drotecticn but are evil because OF
their temptation to capitalists to form

for the control in the market of that

For the Ohio Platform.
From this information the prediction
Is declared to be q safe one that the
tariff plank to be presented to the
Resolution Committee by the Taft adj
herents will follow closely the lines
OF the Ohio platform, with the added
specifications regarding the mannar.
of arriving at the amount of tariff
which Should BIO levied.
Mr.. Ellis is known to be heartily in
favor of plank STIMULATING that
amendments should be made to the
sherman antitrust laws, and Secretary
Taft Is known to be thorough be-
lever in the efficacy of trust control
through Federal laws. The embody-
4]Helll VI lHese lucas INTO IL plank,
which may take the form of an
Endorsement of the Hepburn bill, which
died a peaceful death in the House
Judiciary Committee, is said to be a
safe prediction Tho conferences will
not be restricted in their personnel,
and it is believed that before the Taft
platform is finally perfected for sub
mission the views of many of the
party leaders will have been obtained.
