DELAY FUNERAL PLAN,
SEEK CARNEGIE CREED.
Steel King Contributed to Many
Churches, but Belonged
to None
WIDOW TO BE CONSULTED

Lenox. Mass. Aug. 13.-Doubt as TO
the denominational belief of Andrew
Carnegie is believed to be one Of the res
sons for the delay in deciding definitely
upon the funeral services to be held Mt
Shadow Brook tomorrow morning.
Reports connecting Mr.. Cargenie with
this or that church have no foundation,
so far as is known here. While he con
tributed literally to various denomfna
tions. he apparently was not a mem
Der of any church society. IT had been
thought that among his private writings
there would be found after his death
some expression regarding his funeral.
It was thought likely that the service
would be an adaptation of the Presbyte-
rian and Congregational rituals. With
the coming of the Rev. DR.. William
Piersou Merrill. pastor of the Brick
Presbyterian Church, of New York, due
here at 80 this afternoon. it was ex a
pccted that the order of services would
be determined upon after Doctor Mer 4
rill had had personal interview with
Mrs. Carnegie. She is said to be much
improved after the slight collapse which
followed the death of her husband on
Monday.
The voluminous writings of Mr.. Car
negic have been closely examined with
a view to asccrtaining his ideas of the
future life. and it was pointed out to-
day that, while there was no definite
expression Of his attitude toward or
ganized religious work. it was made
plain that he believed implicitly in n
higher and better world.
