Mr. Eastman's gifts are known to total $.18,002,000.

J., who has made a great fortune" in tobacco and water-power development, and George Eastman of Rochester, N. Y., who has amassed millions in the manufacture of kc*iaks, have announced the establishment of large funds to aid educational and charitable institutions. Mr.5 Duke's fund embraces properties now vftiued at approximately $46,000,000 and will ultimately amount to $8(5,000,- 000. By Mr. Eastman's plan the beneficiaries will gain $12,500,000. This brings his public gifts tft t total of $58,002,000. These gifts are interesting and important In themselves and also as they touch various phases of American life. Both millionaires began life at the bottom of the ladder--which fact again emphasizes the fact that this is a land of equal opportunity, even If all men are not created equal. Neither millionaire has a college education, yet both have made the bulk of their gifts to colleges which fact would seem to have a hearing on the ' much-vexed question of the mission and value of the American college In the Twentieth century. Both millionaires have made their gifts while they are alive and can see the results. Both millionaires have mnde their fortunes largely through frankly monopolistic methods-- which fact raises the question: What has become of the "tainted money" issue that bulked so large a few years ago? It looks as If the American people have decided that there is no such money. To be sure. Rev. Dr. John Roach Straton of New York recently declared before the Baptist Bible Union of - North America that the Rockefeller money was the greatest curse that rests today upon the Baptist denomination. But other Baptist ministers criticized Doctor Straton severely and declared, "Not since the apostolic age has the world had two greater benefactors than John D. Rockefeller and l»ls son." Anyway, the Rockefeller benefactions now amount to nearly $000,000,- 000 and are continuing works. The Rockefeller foundation, for Instance, has just given Yugo-Slavia $255,000 for educational purposes. The son has just given $1,000,000 to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. He is also spending several millions in an effort to construct homes In New York city within the incomes of working people. The Duke and Eastman benefactions top off I long list which brings the total for 1924 -tn e«ess of $130,000,000 and the total for the last ten or twelve years to nearly two billions--which facts seem to indicate that the "inspired American millionaire" Is t real, rather than an imaginary personage. One of the most notable gifts of the year was that of J. Pierpont Morgan, who put into the hands of trustees, to be Incorporated as a library, the famous collection gathered by his father. Its nominal value is $8,500,000, but it is literally priceless. George F. Baker, who has been chairman of the board of the First National Bank of New York and at eighty-four, is at his desk every day, gave $5,000,000 to the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration. Among the securities set aside by Mr. Duke are about three-fourths of his holdings In the South; ern Water Power company, making available an Income of about $2,000,000 a year. Pointing out that he has for years been engaged in developing water-power resources of North and South Carolina, Mr. Duke, in a statement, says that "my ambition is that the revenues of such developments shall administer to the social welfare, as the operation of such development is administering to the economic welfare of the communities which they serve." He then <-onimends to the trustees the securities of the Southern Power company as the prime investment for the funds of the trust and Advises the trustees not to change •ach investments unless urgently necessary. The Duke trust will be administered by 15 trustees, constituting a self-i>erpetuating body; he himself is one of them. The trustees are directed and empowered to expend not exceeding $0,000,000 in acquiring lands and equipping buildings in North Carolina "to be known and operated as Duke university." with this provision: If Trinity college at Durham sees fit to change Its name to Duke university this sum may be expended in expanding and extending Trinity. (The trustees of Trinity have made the change In name.) The trust provides that 20 per cent of the Income shall i»e retained each year and added to the principal until a total of approximately $86.000.000:1s reached. The other 80 per cent of the Income is to'be divided as follows: Thirty-two per cent to Duke university. Thirty-two par cent 'for maintaining hospitals in North Carolina* and South Carolina, on th^ I»lan of paying to the hospitals :i sum n«'t exceeding $1 a day for each free bed occupied and in assisting in builoing and equipping hospitals. Tail per cent for the benefit of whit* tfl<l colored orphans in the Carolinas. Six per cent for assistirg tn building Methodist Episcopal churches in the sparsely settled rural districts of North Carolina. Four per cent for assisting in maintaining Meth*-' odist Kpiscopal churches In the sparsely settled rural districts in South Carolina. Two ier cent for pensioning superannuated preachers and widows and orphans of deceased preachers who have served in North Carolina conferences. Five per cent to Davidson college, Davidson, N. . C., a Presbyterian institution. Five per cent to Furman university, Greenville S. C., a Baptist institution. ' ' Four per cent to Johnson C. Smith university, Charlotte, formerly known as Blddle university, a negro school. " "I recognize that education,- when conducted along sane and practical lines, as opposed to dogmatic and theoretical line?, Is, next to religion, the greutest civilizing Influence," says Mr. Duke's . statement in giving his reasons for creating Duh$ university. He asks thut a faculty assuring tlw university "a place of real leadership In the edo* cntional world" be secured and that courses be arranged primarily for training preachers, teachers, lawyers and physicians. Hospitals have been selected as another means for distributing the income of the trust, because^ according to the statement, -they not only minister t# the comfort of the sick, but increase the efll-. ciency of mankind and*prolong human life. Mr. Eastman's new gifts of $12,500,000 follow a recent announcement of a gift of $2,500,000 in the Greater University of Rochester campuign. Those to benefit under the latest gifts of ill. Eastman are: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, $4,50ft> 000, which Is added to a previous gift of $ll,00(fc<* OUU; University of Rochester, $0,000,000; Harapt<p institute, $1,000,000, and Tuskegee institute, $1^ 000,000. Of Mr. Eastman's total of $58,002,900, the sun of $23,578,500 has been gives to the University of Rochester. Despite the fact that these-aew gifts mark tht disposal of the last large block of hig personalJ stockholdings in the Eastman Kodak company, Mr. Eastman makes it clear that he will continue, to direct the affairs of the company and hopes to as long as he lives. Gifts mude and not announced before are under terms similar to those made to employees. Stock is sold to benefiting institutions for $12,500,000 less than its actual value. While provision Is made that it may be paid for in installments du^ ing the life of Mr. Eastman, it is given without any restriction regarding the time for sale. It may be sold at once if the beneficiaries desire to part with it. Explaining the motives actuating his gifts, Mr. Eastman said; One of the reasons why 1 welcome this disposition of my kodak stock is that it separates ni* from money-making for mypelf and will give me the benefit of a gomewf.«t more detached position In respect to human affairs, j forward with Interest to finding out how much the changed cou* dition will a/Tect my slant on current affairs. The reason I selected a limited number of instil tutions was because I wanted to cover certain kinds of »C3catio^ and felt that 1 could get re^ ' suits with the institutions named quicker and more directly than If the money was spread. Under the' best conditions it takt-s considerable time, sometimes years, to develop the wise expenditure of money In any line, no matter how well prepared one may be. , I am now upwards of seventy yearn old and feel that I would like to see results from this money . within the natural term of my remaining years. As to my gifts to Hampton and Tuskegee: Alo • most the entire attention of educators has been de« ,l voted thus far to the white race, but we have more than 10 per cent negro population in the United States, most of whom are densely ignorant. The only hope of the negro race and the settlement of Infanta' Summer hospital Smith." It was not until many millions had been given the institution that u transfer of stock bi ought ouf the fact that the donor wad Mr. Eastman.

Y. He left school to work for $3 a ' week and, in later years, attributed his success In part to the fact that he faever went into debt, but ulways managed to save a little capital. He became an amat,eur photographer and experimenter and perfected a process for making dry plates, }iis first important invention. In 1880 he began making these plates on a small Later, he made his most imi»ortant Invention, the kodak, and established a plant at Rochester. Trinity college at Durham, now Duke university, was founded in 1838, has 40 instructors and 1,232 Students. Its endowment is $2,978,470 and the value of its plant and equipment is $2,832,1)31. Its ; president Is Dr. William P. Few. Trinity has been for many years the center of higher education for Methodists of the state. Some of the state Methodist leaders were frankly against the change in acceptance of the Duke gift, saying It would "hang crepe on the door of North Curollna Methodism." The alumni were divided. President Few, however, favored the change. The trustees met. accepted the gift and made the change In name. - James Buchanan Dnke was born in 1857 on a little farm near Durham, N. C. His father, Washington Duke, returned from the Confederate ranks after the Civil war to find a ruined farm. The father and his sons, Brodie L., Benjamip N. and James, cured t-^acco in a log barn, granulated It by beating It with flails and peddled it ahdut the countrvslde. In 1870 they established their business in Durham: in 1874 tliey built a factory 70 by 40 feet. James, at seventeen, was Its manager. In 1878 V. Huke Sons & Co. was organised "with a capitalization of $70,000. James established a successful New York factory in 1884. Tn 1880 he effected a consolidation of five of the largest tobacco concerns In America nnd Incorporated it In New Jersey as the American Tobacco Company, with capital stock of $25,000,000. Following the dissolution of the so-called tohacco trust in lull. Mr. Duke resigned as president. The Duke bequest Incidentally calls attention to tbe fact that North Carolina of late years ha* made great strides forward. It now pays more federal taxes thai any other stale except Staff York and Pennsylvania. It Is first In tobacco, second in textiles and third in furniture. 1730North Ashland Asa* Chicago, til.

Bibles Are in Demand in the Holy Land Vartan Atchlnak, who was a recent visitor hi New York, tells a . graphic story of his experiences while engaged In the work of colportage during the 13 years he was employed by the British and Foreign Bible society, says the New York Times. Traveling on a donkey he visited the principal towns and villages of Palestine, aiao In Syria, and his total sales by direct colportage were 1,044 volumes. The natives of Palestine were well represented among the purchaser^, more ^ban two-thirds of the books sold being in Arabic. He kept a diary of his work, and one extract concerns his visit te Bethlehem. He made the trip there on his donkey from Jerusalem. "In Bethlehem I sold eight Bibles, thirteen Testaments and thirteenjx^rtions, all in Arabic," be writes. "At Hebron four gospels and tbjee Old Testaments were purchased by some Moslems. The natives of this district are said to be very fanatical; they claim to b^ in line of descent from Mohammed, and, somehow, nearer to heaven than other people. The green turban is often seen, which indicates their relationship to the prophet." , Old Indian Burial Grounds Ancient Indian burial customs are preserved near Taku Harbor, Alaska, at Graves island, so named because It was used as an Indian burial ground by Taku and Sumdum tribes duriag a period of 200 years, up to about two generations ago.
