held, of New Ork, by whom he had 1 one child daughter Margaret l born in 1897. His bride was twenty 1 years his junior. To her and her daughter probably remains a large fortune, notwithstanding Carnegie's public gifts.
 Established Magnificent Homo.
 As an American citizen he establish ed a magnificent home in New York, on Fifth avenue at 90th street, and at the same time negotiated the purchase of the celebrated Sllibo castle in Scot land This mammoth baronial struc- ture he remodeled, bringing some steel for the purpose from Pittsburgh. The estate comprising many square miles along the Highland coast of Scotland has excellent grouse moOrs and fishing brooks in which Carnegie delighted, a golf links which he estab- lishcd, and pier off which he kept his yacht Seabreeze. One way or an- other he had crossed the ocean some hundred times, and once took a tour around the world
 On his Sl1ibo castle flag he flew both the Stars and Stripes and the Union Jack, seWed together.
 Wanted to Be Reporter.
 Intermittently, Carnegie made ready use of his pen. His interviews with the newspaper men invariably wound up with an envious remark such T would like nothing better than to be a reporter" He wrote a little for the press in the days of Horace Cree ley, and later owned a paper for time. His books numbered about dozen, his first being a testimony to
 
 Four-in- Hand in Great Britain" uS33.) The next year he wrote Around the World.' Then, "Trium- phmant Democracy a review of 50 years of the republic. Upon his retire ment from business in 1901, he wrote The Gospel of Wealth." and followed it with "The Empire of Busin ess.' In 1905 he, once an engineer in the fac tory cellar, wrote "The Life of James Watt," the inventor of the steam en- zine. His most recent work was Problems of Today.''
 The attacks upon Carnegie were at one time numerous. He was often ac- cused of having violated in practice what he had so conspicuously preach cd in theory, regarding labor. He saw the development of WOrkingmen's un- ions and ometimes was forced to con- Cede their demands He himself claimed to have always maintained relatively higher wake in his mills than any other manufacturer.
 His theory on this subject and oth- CTS, is reflected at random in numer- ous bits of epigramatic phraseology culled from his interviews, speeches and writings.
 Disgrace to Have MilIions
 "The instinct which led the slave holder to keep his slave in ignorance was a true one. Educate man, and his shack1es fa1l," he said.
 Labor, capital and business ability are the three legs of a three-legged stool; neither is first, neither is sec- ond, neither is third; there is no prec- edence, all being necessary. He who would SOW discord among the three is an enemy to all"
 "The day is coming, and already we see it dawn, in which the man who dies possessed of millions of available wealth which was free and in his hands ready to be distributed, will die disgra ced.'
 And along the same line he said: Among the saddest of all spectacles to me is that of an elderly man occu- pying his last years grasping for more dollars'
 Pertaining to success: Immense power is acquired by assuring your self in your secret reveries that you were born to control affairs.''
 Of the over-working tendency in America: 'I hope Americans will l some day find more time for play like ! their wiser brethren on the other l Side.''
