! CARNEGIE AND HIS PEACE
FUND.


How much public notoriety woulc
Andrew Carnegie have obtained if ht
were a pauper instead of being mil
i:esaairs2
His latest indulgence of excessive
vanity and self-esteetn is in his proposed
plan for universal peace between the
nations of the world.
This he would secure through the
power of the dollar, of which has has
subscribed a liberal amount in the crea-
fioti Of peace fund.
For years Carnegie has been posing
as great philanthropist, by establish
ing Libraries throughout many States of
the Union, which bear his name as well
as the restrictions fixed at his dictation.
He also displayed, several years since,
his ruling passion, his inordinate van
ity, in donation for the pensioning of
teachers of State institutions of learn
ing, with restrictions on the order of the
libraries.
While giving all praiseful credit to
Andrew Carnegie for all his donations
and ali his charities, is he the type of a
mat who should be held lip as an in
SEPARATION 10 boys and 10 young men?
With all lis millions, Carnegie is Ger
tain1y not an ideal, at least within the
conception Of the Caucasian. With all
his millions Carnegie can not disconnect
his name with the steel contract with
the Government of the United States
when the plates, full OF blow holes, in
tended for battleships, were rejected;
nor can his name and his fame be disas-
sociated from the Homestead riot; nor
from the sweat of toll and the tears of
the women and children who have in
part produced his wealth.
How unlike Peabody, the great phi
1affIlropist, is Andrew Carnegiel
IF Carnegie would blazon his name to
the world, instead of applying any Of his
money i'll seeking additional notoriety
as the preserver of peace between the
nations, why should he not engage in
practical charity, in helping those who
being in need would appreciate his gifts
with blessings everlastingf
Il will not be questioned nor denied
that Carnegie is at liberty to dispose of
his money as may be dictated by his
fancy and his inclination. but his So
called philanthropy. with string attach
Inei1ts, should not be construed as gifts,
that are lasting, nor as the gifts which
are suggested in true sympathy, the in
centive being to help and benefit his fell
low men, and not in the Wanting of his
vanity and his self-esteem.
Having referred to George Peabody, |
IT may be said Of him that he gave his
millions without display or ostentatious
parade Of his generosity
Men Of the George Peabody type are
blessings to humanity.
George Peabody did not Cypress nor
tyrannize. He did not earn nor accum-
lilate his money from the sweat and toll
Of workers and more enduring than
brass or granite shall last, shall live
through the ages the name Of George
Peabody.
OF the two men. each millionaires,
the boys and the young men Of today
may profit by emuiating George Pea
body, and not Andrew Carnegie.

Mrs Harry Wagner, chairman OF the
flower and book committee of the St
Louis Federation of Womens Clubs,
and her force of workers will play the
part of Santa Claus to hundreds of III
valids and unfortunates in the hospitals
and institutions of St. Louis on Christ
mas day Their gifts will range all the
way from apples and jelly for the sick
to tobacco for the old men in the poor
house. The members of the committee
are working irdustriously and have en-
listed the services of hundred or more
other women, whose fingers are plying
making garments or other gifts. The
most unique gift is the Santa Claus bag
which is made of cretonne and contains
seven packages, one for each day Of the
week following Christmas. About 600
of these will be given out. There are
nearly 1000 picture scrap books for the
children. For three years the committee
has given similar books to the children
in the hospitals and it has been handed
down as a sort of institutional tradition
so that each year the little invaiids hear
from the nurses lips the story of Christ
All through the year this committee
continues its work of cheer. During the
summer months great basket is placed
in the Union station to receive the Mon
day morning offering of flowers which
suburban and country friends bring in,
and which the flower committee carries
to the hospitals. For two years the
managers of the chrysanthemum show
at Shaw's Garden have given them the
beautiful flowers at the close of the ex-
hibition and it is novel sight to see the
great touring cars loaded with the flow
ers on their way to cheer the sick. The
flower and book committee has become
an established feature of St. Louis
many benefactions.

The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1910-03-31

Dudley c. Cason, who was a
nephew of B. w. Cason of this
city, was well liked at Independ-
ence, his father being L. L. Cason
of that place. From what could
be learned of the occurrence, he
had been out frog-hunting, when
in some manner, his, rifle which
carried a twenty two -calibre car
fridge, was accidentally discharged
the bullet entering his head a frac-
ton above the right eyebrow. The
accident took place at Sorrento,
and physicians there probed for
the bullet, but were unable to find
it.-Times-Democrat, 28th.
Mr.. Cason was a cousin of Mr..
o. A. Cason of Port Gibson.

A Tree With j History.

There are some events in the
civil war which are indelibly
stamped on the minds of those who
lived at that time. One of these
is the terrible loss OF life at or near
Petersburg, Va. In history this is
called the Petersburg mine. The
Federals attempted to gain en-
trance into Petersburg by under
mining the breastworks with gum
powder which resulted in terrible
loss of life, more disastrous how
ever for the Federal than Confed-
crate troops. In the mouth of the
great crater formed by the explos-
ion of the gunpowder grew the lit
tie cedar tree that was planted re-
Gently on our court square. This
was presented by Mrs. Betty Rice
Taliaferro of Port Gibson, the tree
having been brought from Virginia
by her brother. Let us guard the
tree carefully and it will be liv-
ing reminder of Our Boys in Gray.
