Honors for Our Generals.

Tie generals are coming to town.
What congress intends to do for some
of these generals already has been dis
cussed In full. The only additional
proposition is TINT u sword shall be
presented In The name Of the people TO
Gen John j, Pershir &.
II seems likely today that Pershing
will be made u full general in the
regular establishment, and March a
lieutenant general This, perhaps some
congressman think. will be the best
way out of the controversy over what
honors should he shown the chief of
staff. II is likely Chat SO far ms the
other general officers are concerned,
they will take their former rank in
the regular army but will be given
rs quick promotion rs the law allows.
II should be- remembered that the
president of the United States, when
ever there is II vacancy in the ranks
of the brigadier or major generals of
regulars. can promote thereto any sol
der that he sees fit. This probably
will secure something commensurate

ANDREW CARNEGIE
CLAIMED BY DEATH
Aged Steel Magnate and Phil
anthropist Succumbs to
Pneumonia.


Lenox, Mass.--In his great mansion
overlooking a lake in the beautiful
Berkshires, where he sought seclusion
when bodily infirmity overlook him,
Andrew Carnegie, ironmaster and phi
lanthropist, died Monday.
Although he had been in feeble
health for more than two years, his
final illness was brief-a matter Of
days. A severe cold developed quickly
into bronchial pneumonia, the aged
patient lapsed into Inconsistencies
and the end came as though it was
the beginning of deep sleep.
Andrew Carnegie began a race
against time when in 1901, at the age
of So, he resolved to give away his
enormous fortune He held it dis
graceful" for man to keep on gath
ering idle millions In the compare
lively few years which the actuary
could allow him, he would disembar-
rass himself of practically all he had.
No man ever launched a philanthropie
campaign of such dimensions.
$3.50 600 900, 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 5 per cent steel bonds, it would
without so much as turning over ones
hand, have approached 5OO,O0O,OoO by
,he time Carnegie could call himself
an octogenarian, Nov. 25, 1915.
To give this stupendous sum away
in about half the time he had taken
to gather it was a purpose Carnegie
had fairly well fulfilled when death
overlook him Monday. He had dis
tributed over $500, 100000. 1t was Civ
ing money away at the rate of over
$2O,0OO,OOO a year, or more than $780,
600 day.
He declared when he gave up gath
ering wealth and announced an era of
distribution that he expected to find
it more difficult to give his millions
away than it had been to acquire them.
How would you give $S00,OOO,OOO
away?" became such a popular query
that an English advertiser who en-
ployed it received no less than $4,000
suggestions as to how Carnegie could
rid himself of his wealth. Twelve
thousand persons solved the problem
in part by asking for some Of the
money for themselves.
The answers which Carnegie him
self gave and backed up with his
millions have made him the most orig
inal if not the greatest of philan-
thropists.

When President Wilson shook hands
the other day with Mrs. H. w. Somers,
wife Of General Somers of Civil war
fame, he was the twentieth chief ex-
ecutive of the United States to whom
she. had been introduced. Mrs. Somers
made her debut at the White House
on the arm Of Daniel Webster when
William Harrison was president. The,
aged lady declares that since that time
she has attended many Of the social
functions given by presidents and that
she was intimately acquainted with
many of the executives. Washington
has been her home for 80 years. De

Washington. Now that their
personal affairs permit, they
have come to Patterson to take
up their residence.
Lieut.. Harry Williams has
been one of the Governments
valued officers in the Forestry
Division of the service. He has
been advanced in rank to that of
a first lieutenant. Having had
a training in the lumber business
that eminently fitted him for
this branch of the service, he
Immediately attracted attention
and won promotion by his effi-
cheney. It was during his mill

he finally won Miss Clark for his

age no loss Of time. Customer
is satisfied, so is grocery man.
Think Of a protection to the
merchant of over six and a quar-
ter per cent in loss Of weight.
Customers, once they get the
idea of honest weight from this
machine would demand that the
merchant secure one to satisfy
them that they are getting ful!
weights.
| The operation Of these money
worth keys are simple. There is
nothing that can 60 wrong with
the machine. The cost of the
machine will cost less today than
when first introduced, owing to
the higher cost Of the metals
used in its manufacturing, and
the possibility that the inventor
will secure other metals equally
as stout in the makeup of the
machine but less costly to the
buyer.
I! There is strong possibility
that a corporation will be organ
lied in Patterson and a manu-
featuring site erected that will
build these machines and other
items of real value that Mr.. Ma
loz has now in mind.

politics. He is an entertaining
talker on most any mechanical
subject. He never tires his au-
dience with ideas. He is a gen.

very easy to approach. His ac-
quaintance is worth having, his
friendship worth keeping.
