l Effect.
 /! CARNEGIE DIE Sub head for City ] Lenox, Mass, Aug. 11-.In his great mansion overlooking lake in the beautiful Berkshire, where he sought seclusion when bodily infirm- : ity overlook him and his mind was saddened by the entrance of his coun- try into the world war, Andrew Car negie, iron master and philanthropist. died today.
 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 quick ly into bronchial pneumonia, the aged patient lapsed into unconsciousness and the end came as though it was the beginning of deeper sleep. No ostentation will mark the funeral of the man who, when he began IS years ago to give away his millions, was reputed to have the second largest fortune in America. A simple service attended only by members of his family and his household, will be held at the house, Shadow Brook, expected that the body will be taken to Pitts burgh, the city where he laid the foundations for his wealth, for bur- ial.
 Mrs. Carnegie was at her husbands bedside in the last hour of his life, but he did not revive sufficiently to permit of any sign of recognition. Their daughter, Margaret, who last April, married Ensign Roswell Miller, of New York, was notified that it was apparent that the illness would be fatal. and she hurried from her home at Millbrood, N. J., arriving a few minutes after her father had died.
 Widow Courageous.
 The widow of the Laird of Skibo, although overcome with grief at the comparatively sudden death of her husband, bore the shock bravely. Her physician said tonight that she had recovered sufficiently to make it pos sible for her to go through the ordeal of the private funeral services. She was not equal, however, to the task of directing final arrangements for the services and burial.
 A mass of telephone and telegraph messages of condolence from persons of prominence in all parts of the country had accumulated at Shadow Brook tonight. Until Mrs. Carnegie is able to read these tomorrow, the names of the senders will not be made public.
 It was chiefly to Mrs. Canegie's de- scription of Shadow Brook, after visit to the estate in the early summer of 1917, as bearing a strong resem- hlance to the country around Skibo Castle in his native Scotland that the iron-m monger decided to purchase the property. The war had prevented his annual visit to Skibo and indeed had made such changes there that it was understood that he decided to make his home in American for the remain der of his life.
 Shock to Friends.
 New York; Aug. 11.--Although MT. Carnegie was in his 84th year, had been: an invalid since 1917, when he suffered an attack of grippe, the news of his death was shock to old friends and former business associates here. Since his previous illness he had been under the care of two nurses.
 Unidentified so long with the interna- tional peace movement, MT. Carnegie was said to have been more severely affected by the wosld war than most men. It came as hard blow to him and the cause which he had so close at heart.
 Owing to his ill-health. MT. Carne- gie for some time had led secluded life, and his withdrawal from all pub lie activities gave rise to frequent statements concerning his health. After his retirement he was compelled to limit the number of his daily visi- tors and until his last illness he met and spoke with only few of his old est and closest friends.
 Daughter Recently Wed.
 Two years ago. MT. Carneoie found refuge at Shadow Brook" his new summer home at Lenox, which he nurchased from the estate of Anson Phelps Stokes. It was the first country place sowned here bv the for mer steel master. Previously. he had spent his vacations. at Skibo Castle, at Dumernline in Scotland. When he purchased the Lenox prouerty it was announced that neithe,. he nor any members of his family probably would ever again visit Skibo because of changes. physical and sentimental caused by the war.
