Pittsburg, Penn.-Two eomntuniea|
tions from Andrew Carnegie, which
are officially made public, tell of tlie
steel king's retirement from active
Imsincss life, and of his donation of
$." .<>00,000 -$1,000.000 for tlie libraries
at Hraddock. Homestead and Idiquesue
and $-1,000,000 for the endowment
of a fund for suporniiunted and disabled
employes of the Carnegie Company.
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. I have alwajs
felt that old age should he spent, not,
as the Scotch say, in making miekle
111air, but in making a good use of
what has been acquired, and I hope
my friends of Pittsburg will approve
ot my action In retiring while still in
full health ami vigor, ami 1 can reasonably
expect many years for usefulness
in Ileitis which have other
than personal aims."
The letter announcing his benefaction
of ?o,<MM),000, is. in part, as follows:
"To the President and Managers, the
Carnegie Company:
"Centlemen ?Mr. Franks, my cashier.
will hand over to you upon your
acceptance of the trust, $.~?.(Mt0,O0tt of
the Carnegie Company bonds in trust
for the following purpose:
"The income of .51,000,000 to be
spent in maintaining the libraries
I mil t by me in Itraddock, Homestead
and Duquesne.
"The income of the other ?4,000,000
is to he applied:
"First, to provide for employes of
the Carnegie Company in all its works,
fill ties, railways, shops, etc.. injured
in its service, and for those dependent
upon such employes as are killed.
"Second, to provide small pensions
or aids to such employes as after long
and creditable service, through exceptional
circumstances, need such
help in their old age and who make
a good use of it. 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."
