New York, Feb. l6.-The young wo-
men employed by the Leslie-Judge
company listened to a short talk by
Andrew Carnegie. Mr.. Carnegie Wis
tied the offices to thank John A.
Sleicher for the support which he
had given to the peace movement.
Concerning any eligible millionaires
who might come around with matri-
monial intentions, Mr.. Carnegie said:
Don't refuse a man simply because
he is millionaire. But l would rath-
and / have had some experience in
both directions. l have made forty
two or forty-three millionaires in my
time, but l want to say that the only
right man has to wealth lies in his
acquiring it by some useful labor.
The great trouble with the wealth Of
to-day is that the sons of millionaires
do not realize this very great neces-
sity of being useful to the commun-
ity"
Contrasting toll with the advantage
of being born rich. Mr. Carnegie said:
The wives of most millionaires are
not happy. They have too many lux
uries and have no mental resources
to fall back upon. Some of my part
ners have been unjustly criticized for
what was not their fault, but the fault
of their wives.
Mr.. Carnegie then told the young
women that he was very glad to see
them so happy in their work. Work
that one is not glad to do" he assert

he wouldn't leave the pumps. His

him, wet. bedraggled and looking the
picture of distress.

cities and provides that where In such
cities the gas or lighting companies

A Salem Heights Letter

An unsigned communication from
Salem Heights has been received by
the Journal, which comments on the
rumor that the street car com
pany contemplates putting their cars
off the Salem Heights run. 1t con-
tains some rather bitter personali-
ties, and, for that reason, and the
other main one, that it is unsigned,
and the Journal therefore in ignor-
ance as to it's authorship, it is not
printed. All communications must
be signed, not necessarily that the
authors name may be printed, but
that the Journal for its own protec-
ton may know whom to- hold respon-
sible.

G. A. FROHNIADER
is BADLY HURT

G. A. Frohmader was badly injured
today in cave-in under the Dr.
Sleeves building on State street,
where excavations are being made,
preparatory to a general remodeling
Of the structure.
Frohmader was engaged at the
time with another workman in load
in the wagon, and was standing be-
side it. Because of the weight of the
building on the bank where the exca-
walton was being done it gave way,
and both men were hurled for 10
feet or more. Frohmader was thrown
against the wagon, and, while the at
tending physician gave it as his opin-
ion that no bones were injured, he
expressed fears of grave internal in
juries.
