CARNEGIE OFFER is DIsAppRovED
Public Officials at Capital Would No
Pension Former Presidents.

Washington, Nov. 23.-With almost
unbroken unanimity public officials and
other prominent persons at the national
capital yesterday disapproved of the
plan of the Carnegie foundation to give
ex-presidents of the nation an annual
| pension of $4,000 That acceptance of
such grstuity was beneath the dignity
OF one who has filed the highest office in
the land was the general objection of
the plan.
callers to-day, being occupied in dictat-
ing his annual message. just what his
view of the matter is his friends could
not ascertain.
There are number of members of
congress who favor William j. Bryan's
plan to admit former executives to the
councils of the nation, by granting them
a place in the House or Senate as
sort of ex-officio counsellor. A few mem
bcrs were willing that Congress should
annually provide comfortable income
for such counsellors.
Carnegie Hurt by Criticism.
New York, Nov. 23.--Andrew Carnegie
is inspired only by patriotic emotions in
his offer to give pensions of S250,000
year to all our future ex-presidents and
to their widows. He made this declara-
tion yesterday. He is grieved that criti
cism should come from high government
officials, who say that his offer is an in
suit to American patriotism.
In answer to the argument that the
United States is perfectly able to take
care CT its own ex-presidents, Mr.. Car
nege says he win be glad to have the
United States do so and that he will be
much pleased if his pension plan causes
the government to act.

mound surrounding a grave in Hope
will have been leveled. In following
this course, no attempt will be made to
disturb the rolling slopes which are nat
ural to the topography of the section in
which the cemetery lies. But the aban-
donment of the mound system will mean
not only another step toward beautify-
ing the general appearance OF the
| grounds, but it will also result in a
minimum OF labor in maintaining the
lots. Persons familiar with cemetery
designing say that the time saved in
caring for lots resting on general level
will pay for removing the mounds.
| According to one authority, the days
of grading by the eye, or by the rule
of thumb, are past. The elevation,
curvature and grades of the avenues and
paths in a cemetery demand skill. To
make the grounds accessible at Hope, a
network Of well-kept roads and little
paths have been laid out, many of them
lately In some sections, the desire that
visitor to the grounds may reach al
most any point without treading on
the grass, has led the superintendent to
lay out little circles and triangles Of
green, the trim aspect of which can lend
only charm to the surroundings. Along
with the establishing of definite grades,
the commission with the cooperation
of the caretaker, have assured them-
selves that the arrangement Of the trees
and shrubs will add to the beauty of
the landscape.
In connection with any mention of
the work accomplished along the lines
OF laying out new triangles, etc, il
might be well to condemn the action of
visitors to the cemetery who have dis
played either mischievous intent or wan
ton carelessness in driving over some Of
the most attractive pieces of greenswanl
on the grounds. AT the end of the
driveway, a three-eornered plot has
been trampled down by horses hoofs
and carriage wheels several times dur
ing the summer. Depredations of this
kind appear to be the work of night Wis
itors to the cemetery, and their occur
rences have come so often that drastic !
measures will be adopted if the guilty |
persons are caught. Persons who have |
the best interest of the grounds at heart |
believe that the plan of permanently se- !
curing the place against the ravages OF I
time and decay cannot be realized unless I
there is disposition on the part of t
visitors to preserve the improvements al

ample care of spring torrents skirt the
hard smooth surface OF the road on
either side.
Along the banks, the ground has been
sodded and the green border which ex-
tends the entire length of the road up
through the trees has been a delight to
the eye during the summer. Latterly,
the superintendent has set out large
number of smaller trees and with the
new recruits in leaf next season, the

summer, narrow footpaths leading from
the main entrance by short cuts to the
heart of the cemetery have been laid
out by the gardeners. During the lat
ter days of the fall, the superintendent
has employed an extra force of men rak-
ing leaves from the steep slopes which
ascend from the drive.
