Pittsburg. April THAT Andrew

four days visit to Pittsbnrg is far
from being well man. was demon
strated here when the Laird OF Ski
bo" had two attacks of illness while
debating lengthy statement for the
people OF Pittsburg. Twice he Was
compelled TO stop to regain his breath
and his face grew strangely white.
On recovering he would pluckily
resume his dictation. He explained to
those who saw him suffer that he
had not been well since an injury to
his limb some six weeks since. Mrs.
Carnegie and her friends were not =
little concerned about Mr.. Carnegie
today.
So i'll was the guest of Pittsburg
that he was not able to carry out his
end of the program which had been
mapped out for the afternoon-that
of visiting the Carnegie Tech schools,
the parks and the rest OF the $40. .OOO.-

Looking pale and very much tired
Mr.. Carnegie had his auto slipped
from the parade as soon as It had lett

into the conutry where he could be
alone.
Two hours later. while Pittsburg
was still hunting for the missing

one of the hills above Braddock.
where Mr.. Carnegie got his start in
life.

then had his auto turned and was
rolled slowly back to Pittsburg. It
was Mr.. Carnegie.

Scores ~i5igter Ups.~
Il feel like asking Governor Stuart
to pardon some of those fellows out OF
prison" said Mr.. Carnegie when the
whole story had been told him. They
did not know what rascals they were
dealing with.
i hope the city will get the men
away up who are responsible for this
bribery, and then let us run the city
outside Of politics. It's politics that
has made Pittsburg 50 rotten.
Il hear that some Of those council
men sold their votes and their honor
for $S110," continued Mr.. Carnegie.

hfSlself and smiled with his little au-
dience. This was his only smile OF
the day.
Later Mr.. Carnegie began his long
dictation for the people OF Pfttsburg.
1t was perhaps his masterpiece ana
he refused to lie down. though he be-

He told the people Of Pittsburg that
he would not disgrace Pittsburg by
