1t was the remarks made by Dr.

moderate fortune" after giving away
nearly $400,000,000.
1t was when a definition was
sought Of President Pritchett's term
moderate fortune that this close
friend of Mr., Carnegie was induced
to give real figures of Mr. Carnegie's
present wealth. However small
fortune of $40, 900, 900 may be relatively
in comparison with the amount of Mr..
Carnegies total benefactions, 1t does
not mean, as this close friend of MIR.
Carnegie explained, that the latter be-

was in this connection that this friend
made known the fact that Mr.. Car

remaining wealth to charity.

New York, Dec. ANDREW Car
negie has a fortune today of $40, ,000,-
900. OF the vast wealth which the
ironmaster possessed when he started
giving away his fortune twenty years
ago. in conformity with his principle
of dying poor. that is all he has left
He now is far down on the list of
American millionaires.
Mr. Carnegie has given away about
$3.50. 100000. If interest were to be
included on some of the funds he has
set aside the total would reach nearly
$400, 100000. This sum he has given
away in pursuance of his belief that
the man who dies possessed of great
wealth and who devotes no part of it
to the public's use has failed in life
Last of Fortune to Charity.
The fortune of $20,000,00o which
Mr.. Carnegie has left he has devised
in his will almost entirely to charity.
Little will go to his family. Thus,
when his will is made public 1t will
be found that he really made good
his boast of dying poor. There is,
strictly speaking, no record like his
in this or any other country.
The actual amount of Mr.. Car
negie's present fortune has just been
