STARTED AS A POOR BOY Funeral t.o be Held Thursday In Lenox, but. No Services in New York. Bpeciqi to The New York Times, LENOX, Mass., Aug. 11.—Andrew Car- ■ negie died at Shadow Brook of bron- : chial pneumonia at 7 :10 o’clock this | morning. Mr. Carnegie was about his estate, ap- 1 parently in his usual health, on Friday i morning With Mrs, Carnegie and his j daughter, Mrs. .Kosweil Miller. Friday ! evening he complained of difficulty in I breathing, biyit seemed to have nothing I Worse; than a cold. \ On Saturday morning he felt fairly | Well and .walked about his home, hut i during tiSe dky he seemed tb grow wcak- | er. Dr, Bruce Paddock of Pittsfield was | summoned, lie found the patient’s tem¬ perature above normal with pneumonia | indicated. He grew rapidly worse i through Sunday, Dr, Paddock and ! trained nurses remaining with him con- 1 jstantly. Mr. Carnegie was in his eighty-fourth | year and. two former attacks of pneu¬ monia left him with little strength to ! resist this ^attack. Two years ago he was .on the verge of. death from double pneumonia. His exceptionally hardy con¬ stitution savOd him at. that time, but he jeame out of it with impaired vitality | and had grown rapidly feebler since that time, I Of irecentrays'the old man, who was a great lover of flowers, had been fond iof being wheeled in a chair into his garden, . where he passed many hours. ! He always wore in the buttonhole of his ihomespurig sack suit a sprig of sweet | verbena, Which was his favorite plant. ;His flowers at his home in New York j and at his Summer home have for sev- I eral years been one of his main in¬ terests in life. Nothing meant so much I to him, and, forgetting that others did not always share this passion, on one occas|on he picked three splendid rho¬ dodendrons and presented them to a little boy when he intended to give the youngster a munificent reward for tell¬ ing the servants in his New York home t*hat he had accidentally locked himself In his own garden. After his flowers, he found his chief: enjoyment about the estate in trips or Lake Mahkeenac in his electric launch. His last trip was on Thursday, when | be spent several hours on the boat. His I love for the water had grown in recent | years. Barly in the season this year he | was fishing constantly and took several ■ good strings of fish from the waters which he had assisted in stocking. He had not lost his interest in li¬ braries, Recently he contributed to the! Lenox Library a Bum for installing handsome new fixtures in the build-, ine-. Mrs, Roswell Miller, his only child, \ had gone to her country place, Caradoc, at Millbrook, N. Y. On being notified !that her father was very low, She and; her husband, Ensign Miller, started at once for Shadow Brook?, but did not at-, (rive until after his death. | Mrs. Carnegie, who had been worn; j out by staying constantly with her hus- ; band during his illness, was prostrated [ and saw no one but her daughter and; j son-in-law. Many people from the vil¬ lages near the Carnegie home called; J and left cards of condolence, and hun¬ dreds of telegrams of condolence camel during the day from men ail over the! country who had been associated with the ironmaster during the , years in! which he built up his gigantic. enter- prises. Mr. Carnegie had intended, it was said, to make a visit to Scotland early this year, and spend a time at Skibo Castle, of which he is Laird, but this plan was abandoned because of his health and because . of government restrictions in Great Britain, which prevented his taking servants. The funeral service will be conducted at Shadow Brook on Thursday morning at 11 ‘o’clock by the Rev. Benson N. Wyman, pastor of the Lenox Congrega^ tional Church, where Mr. and Mrs. Carnegie had a pew, and the Rev. Dr.; William Peirson Merrill, pastor of the Brick Presbyterian Church of New York. The body will be taken on a special train to Sleepy Hollow, N. Y., for ; burial in a lot that Mr. Carnegie bought ' some years ago. No services will be held in New York City. MANY VOICE TRIBUTES, \ TO CARNEGIE’S GENIUS Prominent Men Prsdse Him m Benefactor as Well as fof His Industrial Achievements. Prominent men thrpughout the coun¬ try paid tribute to Andrew Carnegie | yesterday when they heard of his death, i The following are some of the tributes: ij CHARLES M. SCHWAB.-It would, be; difficult fdr me to find, words to express, my love and admiration for Mr. . Carnegie, my friend, partner, and as¬ sociate, for forty years. He was the greatest man I ever knew and he had a heart so filled with tender sentiment,, especially with reference to his as¬ sociates, as to make him beloved as well as admired by all those who came in business or social contact with him. He possessed the faculty of inspiring others . to unusual efforts in a greater measure than any man I ever knew, and he al¬ ways won by expressions of appreciation rather than criticism. The world has lost a great man and a great benefactor to humanity,, and I have lost a greater friend than whom no man ever had. JAMES B. CLEWS of Henry Clews & i Co.—The death of Mr. Carnegie removes fi j one of the greatest characters the world ; ■ has ever known. Ill these days of labor • : unrest his career offers a fitting ex¬ ample of what can be accomplished by . one commencing in the lowest station of ! life, when he possesses the necessary qualifications- for rising in life and makes the most . of his opportunities, c; Viewed from almost any standpoint it j 3eems almost incredible that; any one should liaVe been able to start at. the lowest rung of the ladder as a mes¬ senger boy and work himself up through | various grades until finally he became the greatest manufacturer that the uni- i verse has ever seen. The name .ot Andrew Carnegie will last for many ages to come, .not only, however, as ! the foremost iron merchant but for his great works of philanthropy for the ben¬ efit of mankind. Mr. Carnegie not onlv f was a great moneymaker, but he was also a great spender , in the. right direction. GEORGE W. PERKINS. Chairman of j the Finance Committee of the Carnegie ■ Foundation—I am deeply grieved to hear [ of Mr. Carnegie’s death. He was a very ; great American, belonging to that class ! which after tlio war of ’62- was quick i to appreciate that we had a united.coun- ! try and a great opportunity. He grasped ; the new machinery which inventors % ■ plAced;in our hands at that time, and ! with them threw all his great mental ^energy into developing our country.p l When his active business career closed, ' , i with the. same energy he gave a large ) , I percentage of his wealth to movements | that he believed would help the people. | One -of the last talks 1 had with him j was about profit-sharing. He was most j f enthusiastic in;his commendation of the 1 steel -corporation’s profit-sharing plans, j: and expressed the belief that the prim eiple of profit-sharing was destined to be a great factor in solving the existing . problems between capital and labor. ; THOMAS W. LAMONT of J. P. Mor¬ gan & Co.—Mr. Carnegie had extraordi- v - narv qualities which made him a notable'! 1 figure on both, sides of-the Atlantic. He , first achieved, a. great success in in- j - dustrv, a success which he .shared lib- ; erallv with his capable lieutenants, and 1 • then devoted his fortune and his energy.! • to the causes of education and peace. t . His libraries.,.spread over .the English- Speaking world, his foundation for the j advancement of teaching,-his aid to the : causes of peace and Pan Americanism j were wise gifts of enduring value and | service. JAMES BERTRAM, Secretary of the Carnegie Corporation.—Mr. Carnegie , was my best friend. For twenty years : I was intimately associated with him j and his kindness was unfailing. I saw- ; him for the last time a few months ago j and in spite of his age I had no idea ; the end was so near. Dr. CHARLES F. THWING, President j of Western Reserve University. Cleve-; j land, and Secretary of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching—Mr. Carnegie’s death is a 1 personal loss to thousands. These thou¬ sands include his “ boys ” who had been j his associates in business and also the | leaders in every department of life in ; America and England. Lord Morley [ and Sir Gilbert Parker were among his friends. His love for individuals was i the expression of his love for all' men. | Out of this love, sprang his great bene- : factions. He died poor, as it is said he , wished to die, in the sense that he had given away the larger ' part of his I" fortune. He said to me after he re- ■ tired from business, that he could have ,. kept on and still made money by the millions, but he added: “Why not stop! now? ” He had the greatness to stop and to give. One great mark of his 1 character and career was his wisdom in | selecting his associates. The remark | which he probably made, that he wished l iut on Ills tombstone the words: “ Here , ,ies a man so wise that he surrounded himself with men wiser than himself” is characteristic. PLAN MEMORIAL SERVICES Engineers’ Society to Paj Tribute to Donor of Building. At a meeting of the United Engineers* Society and the Engineers’ Club, held j in the Engineers’ Society Building, in West Thirty-ninth Street, yesterday aft- ; ernoon, action was taken in connection ; with the death of Mr. Carnegie. Com- ; mittees were appointed to draw up res-.., elutions and arrange for memo’rial serv- I ices. The services will be attended by j civil, mining, mechanical, and electrical : engineers and will be held in the club house. The .day and hoqr •will be an- .j nemneed later.

In the old Fifeshire burgh of Dun¬ fermline, birthplace of Charles I., the > loser of a kingdom, a boy was born j who was to win a kingdom, to become 'f the head of the master industry of iron and steel in the United States. He was born to good fortune in a poor cottage. He inherited nothing but poverty and health, capacity to work and to take advantage of every oppor¬ tunity. A merciless new Industrial force, the power of steam, drove his father, a master hand-loom weaver, out of business, the whole family out of Scotland. At twelve the boy who fifty years later was to scatter hun¬ dreds of millions for beneficent and fruitful objects as gayly and easily as pearls and diamonds fall from the lips of princesses in fairy stories was earning $1.20 a week as a bobbin boy. He got up early and he worked late. He worked in a cotton factory. He learned to be a telegrapher, and felt himself to be. passipg rich on $25 a month. He showed his mettle when he was clerk and operator to Tom Scott of the Pennsylvania.Railroad. After a railroad accident he tele¬ graphed orders on his own responsi¬ bility. He showed his quickness, and soundness of judgment, his talent for administration, his swift grasp of a situation., From that moment we feel that his fortune was made. Slowly at first. He saved. He made prudent in¬ vestments on the advice of judicious friends. All liis life he was singularly successful in acquiring helpful, useful, and distinguished friends. While Mr. Carnegie Is not to be reckoned in the Baconian sense among the “ founders ” of industrial . em¬ pire,” men like Bessemer and Sie¬ mens, his extraordinary gift of or¬ ganization, his ability to discover and promote able lieutenants, enabled him to carry out on a grand scale the great revolutionary and creative new¬ ly discovered processes. Moreover, he had that imagination that is found in so many makers of mighty fortunes as in the makers of novels and dramas and epics. He saw iron bridges when wood Was the universal pontifical ma¬ terial. Somewhat over fifty years ago he saw that the English rail¬ ways were laying steel rails in place of Iron, thanks to the Bessemer process, which he brought to Pitts¬ burgh. He saw the immense demand there would be for iron and steel products in a country whose popula¬ tion was certain marvelously to in¬ crease, whose agriculture and com¬ munications and manufactures and trade were even then in a pri ma ry stage of development. Coke, iron ore. / iron and steel, he got, assembled, pro-] duc'ed, adding establishment to es¬ tablishment in the most efficient,! economical, and best organized! methods. If the rebate system on the i railroads and the protective tariff—; which he despised, even if it aug¬ mented his fortune —were windfalls upon the path of his prosperity, his genius as an organizer and as a chooser of men would have brought , him the same success. Finally, can- hily planning'a war to the uttermost | against powerful competitors aiming at a triumphant steel autocracy, he had to be bought out with prodigious millions. Thenceforward he was to astonish the world by his splendid gifts, nearly a third of a billion for philanthropic j objects. Six highly endowed institu-j tions survive him, and perpetuate his i j name and his purposes. His library buildings are scattered through the j country. To him ill-paid teachers owe j the security of their old age. The! | Carnegie Institution has done and! j Promises permanently to do valuable work for the sciences. I If he did not car® to do good by j stealth, it was because he felt that a ! ver y rich man is essentially a trustee I for the public, and the public should j know that the trustee is doing his | duty. His wealth was such that it j was hard work for him to carry out his theory of the disgrace of dying rich, but, ..surely, since the world be- 1 j gan nobody has given away anything) | like so colossal a fortune. The piiblic has got most of Mr. Carnegie's money i by his frequent and lavish donations: among the living, 'singular Scot, )he )\ minded a hundred million less than [' the traditional ” saxpence.” Mr. t Carnegie had a sense of humor not at r all dependent on ” a.' surgical oper- 1 ation.” From life, from association ), with many notable figures in business, j in politics, in art and literature and science, he picked up a various edu¬ cation. He was an original writer. In [ action and in leisure he tasted a wide' variety of experience. He got a great. | deal out of life, about everything -that f he wanted. If cynics thought that he'J was a little too,self-satisfied, is not the iiero of the fairy story whose; life, in i low estate began; who became one j of the richest of men, who loved money so well that he loved to give it away 1 with both hands, and who enjoyed j himself with work or play through aj long life, justified in approving his] part and feeling that the spectators must not only wonder but applaud? His memory will live not so much by reason of tlie amount of his fortune as because of the incalculable good he did with it. AUG 12 ’19 CMNEGIE STARTED AS A BOBBIN BOY Came to America When He Was 12 Years Old and Left Some $500,000,000. MADE FORTUNE !N STEELj Rose to be Dominant Figure in In¬ dustrial World and Great Benefactor. Until he was a septuagenarian. An¬ drew 1 Carnegie believed that he was born in 1887. Then on a return visit t.o his native town in Scotland he learned that tne date 1887 in the church records merely meant that the rec¬ ords were commenced in that year, and ho was listed as a living child in the first census. He announced his correction of the date of his birth by ■ clicking the news to his, brother teleg- ■ raphers on a miniature telegraph instrument at his plate at the dinner they were giving in his honor, suppos¬ ing it to bo. Ms seventy-first when it was really '.his seventy-third birthday. Tie was born Nov. 25, 1835, in Dun¬ fermline, a little, manufacturing town In Fifeshire, Scotland, at that time noted for its weaving. Kis father and his ancestors for a long ..way back had been weavers, and at the time of An¬ drew’s birth the elder Carnegie owned three, or four hand looms, one of which he operated himself, and hired extra hands for the others as the tbade re¬ quired. Andrew was to have been a weaver too. but new inventions were soon to abolish the' industry, and William Carnegie, his father, was the last of tl>e weaving line. “ I owe a great deal to my mother, lie wrote in 1914. “She was com¬ panion. nurse, seamstress, cook, and washerwoman., and never until lfte_ln life' had a servant in the h6use. Yet she was a cultivated lady who taught me most of what I know." He earned his first penny by recit¬ ing Burns’s long poem, Man was Made to Mourn,’’ without a break. There is a story that in Sunday school, being- called upon to recite some Scrip-* ture text he astonished the assembly by 'giving this: “ hook after the pence, and the pounds will take fcare of them¬ selves.” Wealth Put at $500,000,000. Estimates of Mr. Carnegie’s wealth made yesterday put it at possibly $500,- 000,000. When he retired in 1001 he sold his securities of the Carnegie Steel Com¬ pany to the United States Steel Corpo¬ ration for $303,450,000 in bonds of that fomoanv J-Te was possessed of l&.rp'e -in- terests in’ addition to those bonds. When lie started in 1001 to endow Ms great benefactions lie made inroads into his capital for several years m gifts w libraries, for peace propagonda, and to other' philanthropic causes. The fortune of $303.450.000 in •> per rent, bonds, if allowed to increase by the accumulation of interest and rein¬ vestment since 1001 would amount to about a billion dollars today, but Mr, numerous . benefactions prevented this. According to financial authorities, how¬ ever the ironmaster’s ambition to die poor was not realized, end, despite the scale of bis philanthropies, it was be¬ lieved tha t M’s fortune was at his death oT large, as it ever was.' Elihu Root, Jr:, J?on; of, fornmr United States Senator Root, whose father-for .rears has been Mr. Carnegie s counsel, declined yesterday to discuss.,Mr. .<• ar : negie’s affairs, other than to say that, he was a citizen .of New York City and to'-admit that his will doubtless would be probe ted here. * , When he was 12 vears old the steam looms drb\e his father, the master weaver, out of business, and. reduced to poverty, the family emigrated to America. There were four, the parents and two boys.' Andrew and Thomas. Tiiev settled at Al.leshenv City, Penn., across the river from Pittsburgh. , in 1848 The father and Andrew found work in a cotton factory, the son as bobbin, bov, His pay was $1.20 In thR bis first Mb. Tie was soon promoted, at a slight advance. to ; he eng ine«r s assistant, and be stoked the boilers and ran the engine in the faetpry cel-, lar for twelve hours a dav. Tt was at this time, he afterwnWl said, that the inspiration came for his H ’ih«ec’ienf library benefactions. Colonel A nderson, a '-mnfeman : w : A, Scott, at a salary increased to *35 a. month. Mr. Scott gob $125 a month, and,” Carnegie said, ” I used to 1 wonder what on earth he could do with j so much money.” At that time telegraphy was still new. The‘dots and dashes were not read by ; sound, but were all impressed on tape, and Carnegie is said to have' been the! third operator in the-United States to | read messages by sound alone. He was ! now Colonel Scott's ■ private secretary.; One; morning when Colonel Scott was ! late .-.coming down the trains were get- i ting tangled up. • in . the yards. The: voungj -private secretary wrote out suehj orders as he knew his chief would give i and put them on the- wires. "When' 1 Colonel Scott arrived, greatly disturbed ; over 'what- he supposed, and prepared to: plunge into the work of straightening things out, Carnegie -told what lie had . done and said the trains werb all under I way. Scott said nothing to him, but to the President of the road 1 ho reported: that he “ had a little Scotch d’evil in his , office who would run the whole road; if they’d only give him a chafide.' 1 ’ HIm First Iuvestment. His father died ' when Andrew was' '16, and, as the breadwinner of ; the family he advised 'his mother to make her investment, $G0p, in ten shares of Adams Express stock. She mortgaged her home to do It, and there was a monthly dividend of 1 per cent. “ I can See that first cflek of $10 dividend money,” he said ’after his retirement. “ It Was something new to all of- us, for none of us had ever received any¬ thing but from toll.” This first investment was made on the advice of Scott, who had told him that, it would be a good one and had offered j to help him if .he could not raise enough, i Colonel Scott became General Superin- j tendent of the. Pennsylvania In 1.858 and ; Vice President, in 1860. taking Carnegie along with him at each rise. - In- May. ! 1861. the civil war- had broken out and ! Scott was appointed Assist,Ant Secretary ; of War in charge - ’of • military- railroads 1 and telegraphs, and again he. took Car-, negie With him. Carnegie pras now Superintendent of the ' Western division of the road, and did not want, to go to Washington, but Scott insisted. Mr. Carnegie was- placed in charge of the Government telegraph , communica¬ tions. T-Te went to Annapolis a.nd opened communications which the Confederates had interrupted. He started opt on the first locomotive widest ran from An¬ napolis to Washington. While passing Elbridge Junction he noticed that the ' wires had been pegeed down by the enemy. He,stopped the engine, jumped down beside, the wires, and cut them. One of them sprang tin and gave him a wound in the cheek, the scar of which remained .with him all through life. Pie was on; the field at Bull Hun In charge, of the communications, and was the last man on the, last train that left for Washington -when the rout, began. Meets Sleeping Car Inventor. While traveling on his division of; the road one day he met a man .who said his name was T. T. Woodruff, and that he had invented a sleeping par. Mr. Carnegie Was interested, and after see¬ ing a model lie became convinced of its advantages. He arranged op. interview between Woodruff .and Scott, and they formed a small company which resulted in the use on the Pennsylvania of the first sleeping cars ever used- In the world, They gave Carnegie an interest, but when his Ussesefhent, $217.30, came due. he had not the money : he borrowed it, however, from a banker in Altoona and repaid the loan at the rate of $15. a month. His other, assessments were paid from his. share of the earnings of the car, and he made a profit on this venture of about $200,000. Mr. Carnegie’s first attempt to in-; vest the fortune he was beginning to ; make came when he put $40,000 in a company formed for the development of an untried piece of oil land. But oil; was not found, h,e‘ grew discouraged, ( and he finally succeeded in selling out one-third of his holdings for $3,000.! Then he went to Europe, and while he j was a wav the company struck oil. and ji the - share remaining to hi hi was worth a quarter of a million. Tvyo of his fellow workmon, named Piper and Schiffler, had attracted 1 his attention by their work on bridges. He proposed to them to organize a compahv- for buildihg bridges, and the Eevstone Bridge Company was formed about 1863., His brother ! Thomas had become interested in iron works, and Andrew, after consulting with him, or¬ ganized the Oyclqps iniil for the pro¬ duction of structural, iron, to be used;; in railway bridges. . /• Colonel Scott joined with them, but the project was not successful, and Andrew Carnegie had to turn to Thomas to help him get out of it. . He proposed that his brother and Henry Phipps. Thomas’s partner, should form a combination that would relieve him of his rolling mill, and a union of in¬ terests was brought, about in 1865. : The result was the Union Iron Mills. It was just at the right time. The civil war had just ended and the great expansion was beginning. The new concern made great profits, and Car¬ negie proposed further ventures. It was the era of the buildijig of railroads and the development of the West. Steel rails had become worth $80 to $100 a ton. Adopts Bessemer Steel Process. By this time Andrew Carnegie was recognized as the leader of this Na¬ poleonic , combination, which, with every new success, reached out fur¬ ther. • On a visit to England in 1868 he discovered ihe success, being obtained there with the Bessemer process, and brought the idea home with him and adopted it in his mills. After - he in¬ troduced the Bessemer steel process in [this country he became principal owner of the Homestead and Edgar Thomson. Steel Works and other large plants as : head of the firms of Carnegie, Phipps ! & .Co. and Carnegie Brothers & Co. In 1899 the interests were co'nsoli- ' dated in the Carnegie Steel Company, which In 1901 was merged -in the United States Steel Corporation, when Mr. Carnegie retired from ‘business. The only great clash with labor which occurred 'while Mr. Carnegie was in business was the Homestead strike of 1892. He was in Europe at the time, and came in for much criticism for hot. returning and for letting the trouble go to a finjsh; without any action by him. He, however, made an explanation long afterward. ” T was coaching through the Scottish Highlands oh my holiday,” Mr. Car-, negie told the Industrial Relations.-Com¬ mission in 1915, “and did not hear of the lamentable riot at Homestead until days, after it occurred. I wired at once that I would take- , the first steamer home, but was requested not to cotne.” He said tha.t after his return he told the Homestead rollers that his partners diad offered liberal terms and he could mot have offered more, and that one of men said; ” Oh, Mr. Carnegie, it wasn’t a question of dollars! The boys would have let you kick them, and they wouldn't let another man stroke their hair.” . And he also told the commission a story of his treatment -of Burgess McLuckie, one of • the Homestead men! who disappeared to avoid arrest, after i .the ri'ots. !? Professor van Dyke of Rut-'! gers College "told him that-he,had met ; McLuckie working as ;a .laborer in a! mine at Sonora, - Mexico. Carnegie.; asked the professor to offer McLuckie | any . help tie- might need, and on | return to the West he did so. ! He found that McLuckie. had obtained a position with the ; Sonora Railway, driving wells, and was prospering. “ You j don’t know,” safdL the professor, ; " whose money I. was told to help; you i with.” He did not. ” Well, It was Mr.! Carnegie’s..Phan,” related Mr. Car-; negie, “came the slow, earnest re-! sponse: ‘ That was ;.damned white of i Andy.’ When T heard this I suggested f to my friend Van Dyke that it wouldn't : be a bad epitaph to grace one's tomb- } stone. If it ever did I hoped there would be no long blank between -the d's. ! Each letter should be put down to give McLuckie’s proper expression.” He sold out to the- Steel Corporation for $420,000,000. and in his testimony before the Stanley Committee in 1912, referring to this bargain, he exclaimed. : “ What a fool 1 was! i have since ! learned front the inside that we could have, received $100,000,000 more from Mr. Morgan if we had placed that, value- on our property.” i HIm Peace Propaganda. Of all his fields of public activity he took most interest, prcoably, in his j; peace propaganda. . An offshoot of, hist peace labors was ' liv"brlhg- i Ing ..about arbitration in Central and, South A,merica. Hp aided in the . or-. ’ganization of various leagues and com- ; missions tp this end. and when Secre¬ tary of State Elihu Root returned from' his. tour--of South America Mr. Car- ; negie at once gave Mr. Root’s alma mater, Hamilton College. $200,000 “ in - memory of the services.of Senator Root ij In behalf of international peace.” In 1907 he sent a peace commission to the Latiri-A.nferican republics. ” Not so long ago,” said Mr. Car¬ negie in 1907, “a speaker recited in my hearing how lie had been the most:: powerful naval vessel in the (world--: the Dreadnought with ..her 18,0<00 tons displacement. When my turn came I said that 1 must regret to dispute the 1 statement. I myself had seen the most powerful naval vessel in the world, She was a tiny yacht-like vessel, painted in-beautiful white, with a flag, at her masthead-and 1 a toy cannon on > her "deck—for mostly. I ** C? ,, ^ in firing salutes,'[ Such dainty vessels a3 these serve to maintain the neutrality of the North American great lakes. The little white vacht was the true dreadnought. The name of the other, the vast, gloomy and terrible engine, should be- ‘ Dread- evervthing dread wounds, dread shot, dread drowning, dread savage, hellish passions; dread miserable, tor¬ tured. fruitless death. - ’ If there seemed an Inconsistency In his attacks on armament and thu mak¬ ing of it, in that he himself had once engaged in the manufacture of armor plate, he had an answer ready. He had engaged In it reluctantly. He ad- declined to bid to President Cleveland for armor manufacture, despite Secre¬ tary Whitney’s pleadings to him to re¬ consider. President Harrison and- Sec¬ retary Tracy had urged him. but he had refused. Then, while he was coaching in Scotland, he received a telegram' from Tracy saying: “ The President considers ‘ It your duty to contract for the armor for your coun¬ try; the ships'now wait fo.r it.” Car¬ negie, according to his story, replied: ” That settles it. That command from the President of my country is a com¬ mand from on high. -- His Famous Utterance. His famous utterance about ” dying disgraced ” appeared in an article in the North American Review in 1898, in which he said: ” The day is not far distant when the man who dies leaving behind him mill¬ ions of available wealth, .which were free for him to administer during life, will pass away * unwept, unhonored, i and unsung,’, no matter to what use he leaves the dross which he cannot take with him. Of such as these the public verdict will be, ‘ The mam whb dies thus rUth dies disgraced.’ ” When he came back, to the United "States in 1907 he was the central figure of the dedication of•the Carnegie Insti¬ tute at Pittsburgh, which had cost him $0,000,000. In a .remarkable speech he .said that he could not'bring himself to i realization, of what' had been done. Nile felt like Aladdin, when he saw this building and was aware that he had put it up, but he could not bring himself to a consciousness of having done it any more than if he had produced the same effect by rubbing a lamp. He could not feel the ownership of what he had given, and he could not’ feel that he had given In ‘‘.Problems of Today,” a book.pub¬ lished iii 1907, Mr. Carnegie expressed some views on wealth which a.re un¬ usual in a millionaire. He declared socialism, viewed upon Its financial side, to be just, and said, ” A heavy pro¬ gressive tax upon wealth at death of owner is not only desirable, It.

I After the services the body will be Taken by a special train to Tarrytown, |N. Y., and interred in a plot, in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery. This plot was select- led by Mr. Carnegie himself several ! years ago. The epitaph.. to be inscribed on the tombstone was written by the steel master to describe himself. , It reads: “Here lies a man who knew how to enlisOn his service better men t,han ! hlmsell'.’’ / [Associates of Mr. Carnegie had pro¬ posed that a public funeral be held in New York so that his many friends might attend, but this plan was can- ! ealed by Mrs. Carnegie because of her husband’s expressed >vish for a simple service. Among those who -will attend j is Charles M. Schwab. Chauncey M. Depew, at Hotel Aspin- Wall, today called the late Andrew Car-1 negie the greatest business man he had ever known. - “I had known Mr. Carnegie for nearly fifty years,’’ said Mr. Depew. “ In the troublesome railroad period of fierce competition I saw him very frequently. In those early struggles for business he was one of the largest fasters in the country. He controlled enormous out¬ puts, and the manner in which lie man¬ aged his business was a revelation cf the genius he had for success. He was a past master of the art of making a bar¬ gain. Of course,' a bargain at that time of fluxuatton of rates and of lax Gov¬ ernment control meant opportunity for the largest and shrewdest shipper to win great successes in his business over'his competitors. “ Mr. Carnegie as a business man was the most foresighted and adventurous of the great captains of industry who came to the front during those, stern j days of great opportunities and also of | great perils. “ He had a talent beyond any of the constructive manufacturers and mer¬ chants, selecting with unerring sagacity the ablest men for the different depart¬ ments of his industry. Having selected them, he--not only gave them great lib¬ erties but also large--wages according to the success, larger rewards than they could, have secured elsewhere. He made many of them phenomenally rich. “He was able to grasp the present and the future in deciding that the great factor in industrial development was iron. ’ • While he, devoted his great treasure and most of *iis time for tne ,past twen¬ ty-five years to universal peace, he was the most resourceful and masterful competitor for business of his time, j 1 remember what a dramatic and eventful day it was when lie sold out his great interests in steel and of his great • as¬ sistance to the United States Steel Cor¬ poration, then being formed by Mr. Mor¬ gan. Whether this greatest of the world’s corporations, as regards capital, should be started depended entirely upon Mr. Carnegie. With him as an outsider the combination could not su.he in¬ come it would yield. Both were phe¬ nomenal then, though cothmon enough now, and it excited/the comments not only of our country but qf Europe. “His efforts, for the peace of the! world were the most interesting. He thoroughly believed it was possible to bring about conditions which would make war impossible. He gave vast sums and created a tribunal as a centre from which should radiate influences to prevent war. This war, so universal, so much more tragical than any other in history, following so soon upon his gi¬ gantic efforts and expenditure, broke his heart. I think he never recovered from the shock. “ I once asked him if he believed it-a disgrace to die rich, and he said ‘ Yes.’ do not believe he succeeded, though tried hard. I think he gave away at least $400,000,000. He was devoted to his family, very fond of his wife and his daughter. It would not have been possible for so careful and prudent a man not to have made ample provision for his family.’’ I AUG 13 13 Extolled by President Wilson. j WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.—President Wilson, in a message of condolence sent J today to Mrs. Andrew Carnegie, said the death of the philanthropist constituted f a serious loss to the forces of hu¬ manity. . “ May I not express my deep sympa- thy at the loss of your distinguished l husband?’’ the message said. “His death-constitutes a very -serious loss to the forces of humanity and enlightened public service, and takes .out of the world a force which it could ill afford i to spare.’’ _ ' _ , ..

Until seven years ago the Carnegie family attended the Church of the Di¬ vine Paternity, Seventy-sixth Street and Central Park West, New York which was Mrs. Carnegie’s church before her marriage. Since going to the Brick Presbvterian Church, Mrs. Carnegie and her daughter, Mrs. Miller, became mem¬ bers of 'that body. Mr. Carnegie went there frequently until he became too feeble to attend the services. The Rev. Dr. Merrill, and the Rev. Henry fcloane Coffin, pasto-r of the Fifth Avenue Pres¬ byterian Church, New York, officiated nt the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Roswell Miller in the Carnegie mansion. New York, last April. When Mr. Carnegie organized and endowed the Church Peace Union, Dr. Merrill was appointed President of the Union. Coming to Lenox tonight for The fu¬ neral were great men cf affairs- who had been connected in the steel enter-, Prises with Mr. Carnegie. Charles M. j Schwab, foremost of the former lieu¬ tenants of the steel king, arrived by automobile from New York. He was ac¬ companied by a friend. Also arriving at Curtis Hotel, where the friends of Mr. Carnegie are being sheltered, were the Rev. Dr. Frederick Lynch of New York, former pastor of the Lenox Con¬ gregational Church; Etihu Root, .Tr., Mrs. James Greenway, R. W. Franks, Secretary of the Carnegie Foundation; Mr. Brooking, Mr. Woodward, Truste.es of the Carnegie Foundation; Thomas Wave, Oliver Ricketson,- Paul Koly, Mrs. P. P. Kellar, Miss M. V. Kellar of Pittsburgh. A press, report sent from Lenox today asserting that because of doubt as to the religious belief of Mh Carnegie the .: funeral had been delayed Is said to 1)6 untrue by friends of Mr. Carnegie who have arrived here. Long ago Mr. Car¬ negie wrote and had published a Pamph¬ let, “ The Carnegie Anthology,” which expresses his views of benerit of the Church and clearly expresses his belief in God. This pamphlet was published for private distribution. ,, In his book ” The Gospel of Wealth Mr. Carnegie praises t'ho rich man who replaces an unsuitable country church with a permanent and beautiful struct¬ ure. In reference to a church he writes: “ Once within its massive circle its deni¬ zens live there an Inner life more precious than the external, and all their "ways are hallowed by the radiance which shines from afar upon this inner life, glorifying everything and keeping all U right within.” AUC14 ’19 TARRYTOWN, N.
