Aged Philanthropist Died of Bronchial Pneumonia - Burial in Pittsburgh.

Lenox Mass. Aug. 11-In his great mansion overlooking a lake in the beautiful Berkshire Hills, where he sought seclusion when bodily infirmity
 overlook him and his mind was sad
 dened by the entrance of his country
 into the world war Andrew Carnegie,
 peacefully today.
 Although he had been in feeble
 health, for more than two years. his
 final illness was brief-a matter of
 days. severe cold developed Qulckly
 into bronchial pneumonia, the aged
 patient lapsed into unconsclousness
 and the end came as though 1t were
 but the beginning of deeper sleep.
 No ostentation will mark the fune-
 ral of the man who, when he begin eighteen years ago to give away his millions. was rated as having the sec ond largest private fortune in America. A simple service. attended only by members of his family and his house hould will be held at the home, Sha- dow Brook. tomorrow or Wednesday. The time had not been determined to- night. It is expected that the body will be taken to Pittsburgh, the city where he laid the foundations for his wealth, for burial.
 Mrs. Carnegie was at her husbands bedside in the last hours of his life, but he did not revive sufficiently to permit any sign of recognition. Their daughter Margaret, who last April married Ensign Boswell Miller of New York. notified that it was apparent that the illness would be fatal. and she arrived from her home at Millbrook had died.
 The widow of the Laird of Skibo, although overcome with grief at the comparatively sudden death of her husband bore the shock bravely. Her said tonight that she had re- covered sufficient strength to make 1t possible for her to go through the ordiaI of the private funeral service tI11 task of directing final arrangements for the service and burial.
 A mass of telephone and telegraph of coincidence from persons of prominence in all parts of the coun- try had accumulated at Shadow Brook tonight. Until Mrs. Carnegie is able to read these tomorrow the names , of. the senders will not be made pub lie pr. Brace w Paddock of Pittsfield who attended MT. Carnegie in his last illness and had visited him frequently throughout the summer, said tonight that his patient was in a very feeble 1 state when he returned to his summer home in the spring However. he was eager to motor on plea Sant days and to fish ir r+' -, aa1 the | weather was fit.

 .sThe illness developed in such a way that there was no opportunity for MT. | Carnegie to have any farewell words with members of the household" said his physician.
 s The dark lake and mountains. which 1 had become dear to Mir. Carnegie be- cause of their constant reminders of a's beloved Highland Hills and Lochs looked tonight scene of lonely grandeur.
 It was chiefly due to Mrs. Carnegie's of Shadow Brook, after ] visit to rhe estate in the early sum- mer of 1917 ;.s bearing a strong re- to the country a~ound Skibo Castle in his native Scotland, hat the ironmaster decided to pur .hase the groves -lnm edia tely about he house.
 MT Carnegie had repeatedly eS pressed delight at the quiet pleasure ,f Shadow Brook. Those who were :iOse to him believed it ftr;n., tnlt he end of his long and crowded lie should have come here.
