CARNEGIE GIVES
 TO EDUCATION

New York, November 1s.-"Wealth Is in itself no ground for honoring a man. It is of value to the community only as 1t is put to service, and it is only as man puts to service that which he has, either Of wealth or of ability in some line, that lie has right to claim the friendliness and good will of the community"
 These sentiments. expressed by Andrew Carnegie, sounded the keynote of the an- nual meeting of the trustees of the Car negle foundation held today at the head quarters of the foundation here.
 Mir. Carnegie again made clear his pur- pose to have the revenue from the $1500OO, . 900 donated by him to the foundation re- garded as the rightful heritage of retiring college presidents and teachers, and in no sense a charity.
 President Eliot of Harvard presided at the meeting as chairman of the board of trustees and allusion was feelingly made to his approaching retirement. Dr. Eliot will himself receive the annuity pre- scribed for all retiring college officials of the highest paid class. This amount, S4000, is the largest annual payment allowed in accordance with the foundation rules, and much less proportionately than the 60 or TO per cent allowed to educators who have drawn smaller salaries

AGITATION FOR
 CURRENCY REFORM

New York, November 1S.-Representa- lives of boards of trade and mercantile organizations in many cities met here today by invitation of the Merchants association of this city, which was an- nounced as 0 preliminary conference to consider measures for the reform of the national currency system. The topic un- der discussion was whether a national currency reform convention, comprising delegates from all the commercial bodies of the country should be held The con ferees however, after prolonged consid- eratlon, decided that in view of the ex- istence of a national currency, appointed by act of Congress it was not expedient at the present time to call such a con- ventlon. It was demonstrated, however that steps should be taken to effect a na- tional organization for promoting the cause of sound money. To this end the appointment of a commission was au- thorized to invite the cooperation of commercial and civic bodies in the work.
 The delegates represented business or ganizations in Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Buffalo, Rochester, Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee, Cincinnati Cleveland, San Francisco, Atlanta, Charleston, s. C.. Bos- ton and Portland, Me.

OUTLOOK EXPLAINS
 ITS OWNERSHIP

New York, November 1S-In its forth coming issue the Outlook will explain in greater detail the connection with that publication of James Stillman, the banker, and of reputed Standard oil interests. After quoting the recent statement by the President in which he made clear that as a prospective contributor he was interested in the policy rather than the ownership of the journal, the Outlook will continue:
 Whether MT. James Stillman is con- nected with the Standard oil company we do not know. The facts concerning his connection with the Outlook are as fol- lows: About 40 years ago Lyman Abbott became associated with Henry Ward Beecher in the editorship of the Chris tian Union. Some eight or ten years later Mir. Beechers inclinations led him to retire and endeavor was made by MT, Abbott to purchase the paper. Among those who aided him financially in this effort were MT Lawson Valentine and MT James Stillman, both of whom were neighbors and warm personal friends. They believed in him and in his plan of making a journal of national interest MT Stillman never it so happens, ever attended stockholders meeting either in person or by proxy. He owns less than 10 per cent of the stock of the Outlook the other 90 per cent being owned by those who are actively engaged in editing and publishing the paper When Mr. Stillman put the money which is now represented by his stock at Dr. Abbott's service, he simply performed a generous act for a personal friend, for which MT Abbott takes this, the first public oc- casion that has ever offered to express his grateful and appreciative acknowl- edgement. If the act of unprincipled ru- nor vendors has given either MT Still man or the President any annoyance the Outlook sincerely regrets the fact

Union City, Tenn, November 1S.-Devel opments of a sensational nature will now follow fast as a result of the grand jury investigation now in progress as to night rider bands of Reelfoot lake, according to Attorney General Caldwell.

 q admit that I was shocked when I received this report I had not secured all the evidence and did not know to what extent the investigations had led to in this direction.
