 Fifeshire, Scotland November 15, 1885. In 1S4S he came to the United States with his parents the family settling at Alleghany City, Pa., where young Andy worked as weaver's assistant in cotton factory at a wage of $1.2O per week. One year later he became messenger boy in the Pittsburg office of the Ohio Telegraph Company and soon became telegraph operator, shortly there after entering the service of the Pen nsylvania railroad as telegrapher.
 From that time on he continued to advance until he came to be super intendent of the Pittsburg division. At this time, foreseeing the need of the country for sleeping car accom- modations, he was instrumental in the formation of the Woodruff Sleeping Car Company which eventually laid the foundations for his fortune. The money he derived from his business activities he invested in oil lands near Oil City, Pa. and his means were thereby increased.
 It was at about this time that the civil war broke out and Carnegie, by reason of his acquaintance with both telegraph and railroads, was given supervision of all government mili- tary railroads and telegraph lines in the east in which capacity he dId efficient work for the union cause. It was at this time that he saw that steel would eventually take the place of ordinary iron on all railroads and as a consequence he entered actively into the development of iron and steel works and established the Pittsburg and Keystone Iron works. In 1868 he introduced the Bessemer process of making steel into the United States and 1888 was considered to be the foremost steel manufacturer of his time, having acquired controi of the Homestead Steel Works as well as seven other large steel plants. His interests were consolidated in 1899 all of them forming the Carnegie Steel Company winch was merged into the United States Steel Corpora tion when MT. Carnegie retired from business in 1901.
 Of Carnegie's benefactions too much have been America's greatest phil anthropist.
 He began a race against time when, in 1901, at the age of sixty five, he resolved to give away his enormous fortune. He held it "dis- graceful" for a man to keep on gath. ering idle millions. In the cOmpara-

tlVely IeW years WnlCn the aCtuary could allow him, he would disembar rass himself of practically all he had. No man had ever launched philan- thropic campaign of such dimensions.
 His was then fortune of just about quarter billion dollars, the largest ever acquired by a foreign born American, second only to the John D. Rockefeller wealth as the largest individual accumulation in the United States, and, built, as it was. of five per cent steel bonds, it would without so much as turning over ones hand, have approached half a billion by the time Carnegie could call himself an octogenarian.
 To give this stupendous sum away, in about half the time he had taken to gather it, was purpose Carnegie had fairly well fulfilled when death overlook him today. He had distribut- ed about $30O,O0O.0O0. It was giving money away at the rate of over $20,- OO0,OOO a year, or more than $50.000 a day.
 His benefactions were chiefly thru the establishment of libraries, a large number of towns and cities in various parts of the United States having been supplied with them. As long as they stand these will remain his monuments. He also endowed num- Der of schools and colleges and, in addition, provided a fund of $4,O00,. 900 to supply pensions and relief for his aged and injured employees.
 His home life is declared to have been ideal. He did not marry until he was fifty-twO years of age, or un, til after his mother died, his wife before marriage being Louise Whit. field of New York. A short time after he married he constructed a magnificent home on Fifth avenue New York at Ninetieth street, and a while later made the purchase of the celebrated Skibo castle m Scotland at which place he spent many of his later active years playing golf and sailing his yacht. He is said to have crossed the ocean more than hun dred times and once took a triI around the world.
 On the flagstaff at .Skibo castle he flew the Stars and Stripes and the Union Jack sewed together.
