No sudden was his death tlu*t his daughter Mrs. ltoswell Miller, wws unable to got t?? her father's bedside before he died. Ills ?i/i' and private aecretary were with hint at the end, Andrew Carnegic'ti Career Andrew Carnegie during the latter period of his life undoubtedly ranked as the greatest American spend of en dowment. and philauthftipic moneys. Thin is, the amouuts of ca?h which he donated to enterpriser of a public ?vr quasi-public nature exceeded those of any other American philanthropist. Iu substance. using the slaiiK ftf the day, he' - might have been called, the champion philanthropist. It might also be correct to characterise him as the foremost teacher of frugality and thrift in America during the past two decades. He was best known in two Ileitis. Steel- ? where he made anoiiey. And pub , lie libraries ? to which 'special field he gave money to an unprecedented and sensational extent. Horn in 1835 in Dunfermline, , Fife shire,- Scotland, he came to the IT. S. A. in 18-ift and took u' job at a dollar a week as a weavers assistant in a mill a't Allegheny, Pa. Next he was mes senger boy for the Ohio Telegraph Co., iii Pittsburg, and noon was a telegraph operator for the Pennsylvania railroad, mounting upward and onward ? rfor his was an upward , and onward career e pluribus unurn ? till he became .superin tendent of the Pittsburg division. The Woodruff Sleeping Car Co. and investments in oil lands near Oil City, Pa,, were the mediums through which he laid the foundation for a fortune with which to begin operations in the steel game, where he made his way to supremacy. He intro<luic<sl the Bessinier process in 1808 aud a string of brhtge, ition ami steel plants were brought to g ether in 1^00 in the Carnegie Steel Co. The United States Steel Corporation paid him $.'{00,000,000 for his entire holdings of steel in 1901. What is told as the bitterest experience in his life, is a conversation betw'een J. I'. Morgan and Carnegie on an Atlantic liner leav inig Xew York after closing up tho big gest steel deal in hiunltti history. It was over the morning coffee and Mr. Carnegie said: "Do you know, Mr. Morgan. I have been thinking it over and I find I made a mistake. I should have asked you another hundred mil lion for those Carnegie properties." Morgan answered. "If you lwid," I should have paid it." jFinancial jotirnals told this anecdote as authentic. It is certain there was then involved the most daring indus trial strategy and the most curious psychology of financial rivalry thiit American economics had ever witnessed. Bridge and tube corporations, owned largely by Morgan interests, had been planning to manufacture their own billets ?a field dominated by Carnegie. He sent out word he was going into the bridge and tube business and wonld build hi? own railroads from Pittsburg to the Great Lakes and the \lest and to Hie Atlantic seaboard on the 'east. Sur veying parties were rushed out to find the routes. Other preliminaries made it look as though the canny Hcot at Pitts burg was making no hluff at all. A price of $300,000,000 for his steel properties ? wrffcual and ? (physical value estimated at one-frtxth to one-fourth of this figure ? arranged the matter satis factorily all ? round. "Andy," as his frieivdx all railed- him. then went in for writing books and giving library buildings to any town that would raise for itself a sum of money equal to his benefaction. In 1012 alone he bestowed $130,403,000 on any and all various interests. \^Gift? By Andrew Carnegie. IletY) fund, T\ S. and Canada $.r?.000. 000. Hero fund, ekwhere $7,2.~>0,<m>0.

Attorney Geu? enal Palmer started out Unlay to as certain how much of (be high coat of Hv'iug is (hie to excessive profits by retailers. In a 1 1 1 ? k ' ?? n i to all State food ad ministrators who worked with Admin istrator Hoover during the war, the At torney Oeuei^al requested the appoiut ineut of a fair price committee in each co Unity to investigate what is being chary for retail necessities and if iu excea* of wbdt t he committee considers juat to publish a list of fair pricoN for the guhfcance of the public. ? This is the "extra legal" moans of reaching ?profiteering which Mr. Pal mer recently indicated wan under con* | sideratiou. Ho has frankly admitted fr;>m the start that there was no mean* to prosecute directly a man guilty of extortion in prices, llctajlers who art gouging the ultimate couisuiuer will have 60 be discijdined by public sentiment which officials have no doubt is suffi ciently alert fro the stuaition now to act vigorously in clear-cut cases. Hoarders, on the other band, can be reached thru the war time food laws or Hie Sherman act, and Mr. Pahner requested the State food administrators fro transmit to him any evidence of hoarding or other -.vio lations of the law which they might encounter in their work with the promise that- the government l'aw ' cnf?> dement machinery wot Ad act promptly.' "There is pressing necessity for the restoration, of normal conditions," Mr. Palmer's telegram said, requesting the men who did siuoh efTocit.ive work dur ing the war to take up the burden again. They were asked to serve with out compensation, the Attorney Gener al believing that the public service fro be performed now is as important as when the country was engaged in hos tilities and that no patriotic citizen would refuse the call of duty. Attorney fleneral's telegram follows: - "In order to secure accurate infor mation relative to charges of profiteer ing by dealers in necessary cotmnodi tics it is .the desire of the government to as^rtnin whether or not such dealers are making more than a fair margin of profit. Will you assist in your State by requesting those persons who have been county food administrators under your jurisdiction to appoint fair price committees, including one retailer of gro ceries. one of dry goods, a representa tive of the producers, of organized labor, of housewives, two or three rep resentatives of the public generally, also a wholesaler when practicable. "Please request .them to pursue, ap proximately the yam e inquiries with reference to food products and the or dinary necessities in dry gioods and clothing that we're pursued by your Tair . price committees under the food administration act. This coram itiee will be an .extra legal body ?without power to summon witnesses or fix prices. It is requested, however, fro ascertain the cost prices, determine a fair margin of profit and if retail price** are in excess of what the ooenmitrtee regards a fair price, to have published a litft of fair prices, reporting to you for review. You are requested to report fro the Depart ment of Justice a. general review of the situation in your state. "Any evidence of hoarding or other violations of the food control act which may be developed in the work of such committees, should be turned over to I'll i ted States attorney, who will be inwtru<ned to employ all his resources, as well as those of the bureau of in vestigation. to cooperate with you and your oommi.tjtees in seeking out and pun ishing all violators of the law. "There is a pressing necessity for the restoration of normal conditions and it is believed that through the same or ganization which you had as federal food administrator, together with* their appointees, can render a valuable ser vice to the country at this time, and your- cooperation* and their without com pensation. will be greatly appreciated. The widest publicity of this movement and the results obtained by the county committees, ' it is believed will be an imj>onbont foctor in its success. Please wire whether the government can count uiH.n your aoti'e cooperation." Death of Mr. Inaae fiay.
