This benefaction is by far the largest of the many gifts by Mr. Carnegie and is probably without a parallel anywhere in the world. In the letter which announces his retirement from business, addressed to the people of Pittsburg, Mr. Carnegie says: "An opportunity to retire from business came to me unsought, which t considered it my duty to accept. My resolve was made in youth to retire before old age. The fathers in olden da3*8 taught that a man should have time before the end of his career for the making of his soul.

Should these uses not require till of the revenue and a surplus of $g00,0t>0 he left after ten years' operation, then for all over this workmen in mills other llian the Carhegie Company in Allegheny County i Khali become eligible for participation In the funds, tlie mills nearest the works of the Carnegie Steel Company being tirst embraced."
