CARNEGIE is A MARK
Asked to Pay 4 Debt Cearactsd b
His Mother 50 Years Ago.


Andrew Carn<gie's dollar-scattering
campaign in Great Britain has devel-
oped the alleged existence of ro-
mantle debt the iron phi.a nthropist's
family eft behind when it emigrated
to the American land of pie nty 50 years
ago.
Henry D. Lennox, resident OF Glas-
gov, asserts that his aunt loaned MI.
Carnegie's mother II shil.ings ($2.71
to help defray the family's ocean pas
sage, receiving the promise OF repay
mel when fortune should smile on the
Carnegies-
Mr.. Lennox calculates that at the
rate of five per cent compound inter-
est the little obligation now amounts
to $44 He suggests that if Mr.. Carne-
gle can spare the change he might be
disposed 10 remember his old friends
MIR. LIE nnox says:
when the Carnegies left Dunferm-
line they were SO poor that the mother
had to borrow money to take them to
the United States. My aunt. though .
poor woman herself. Helped them out
to the extent OF II xhillings, but the
promise TO return the loan evidently
escap ped the memory of the benefi-
Charles. because they never repaid the
sum borrowed.
MY aunt is dead. but she left two
daughters. one Of whom is the wife OF
a hum be joiner in Dunfermline. while
the other is maiden lady engaged in
a small ORA perry business in Edinburgh
Don't you think that if Mr.. Carnegie
knew this he would be willing to do
handsomely by his mothers friends?''
