‘Ihe Hon Philanthrophic of the World’s Millionaires- Mr. Andrew Carnegie is probably; one of the best known among living“, men so far as his name and the lead ing features of his remarkable career; are concerned. He is paying now; his first visit to Canada. and, on the". whole. will be cordially received 5 Wherever he may go in the Dominion. i There are those who look somewhat i dubiously on the right of any man to possess so many millions as Mr. Car negie owns. and there are others who would still cast up against him some of his more strenuous utterances in. his book .. Triumphant Democracy”: But on the whole he has largely re-f deemed . imseif with the first class by I his enunciation of the maxim that no'i man should die- rich, and his eXpan-l sion into a territorial magnate and the ‘ a 4._ . . a..- _ --_.»_.

Be is distinguish l‘ '. at least recognizes the responsibilities 3 of wealth and is making an honestl eflort to acquit himself of them. An. drew Carnegie was twelve years old; when he came from Scotland to the i United States with his parents. . The family was so pocr that little Andy had to start in at work immed- iately. and he became bobbin boy in a linen lactory at Pittsburg. where his parents had located. Bis wages to start with were $1.20 weekly. He improved his position until he wasl given charge of a stationery engine in the factor y, and after two years at this kind of work turned his face elsewhere. He seemed hardly to be on the highroad to fortune yet. His new positien was that of messenger boy for the Atlantic and Ohio Tele- graph Company of Pittsburg. The man to whom he made application was James Reid, superintendent of the company, who was still living up to arecent date in New York City. and who well remembered when young Carnegie c2 me to ask him for a job. The boy was fourteen at this time. He had not been more than a month in the ofice before he begged to be taught telegraphy. and immedâ€" iately spent all his spare time learn- ing the new art. He was the third operater in the United States to read the Morse signals by sound. His father died while he was thus engag- ed; and the lad had to become the It is worth adding to this brief; sketch what Mr. Carnegie himself has ‘ written on the subject of education, ‘ explaining why his philanthropy so% often and so readily turned in this? direction. “ Young men,” he wrote! on one occasion, “ have one import-i ant advantage over the apprenticed mechenic, they are open-minded and without prejudice.

Scott asked Carnegie to take charge of the military railrords and telegraphs of the Government during the war. and the young man accepted but not caring for politics he soon returned to railroading. It was on Scott’s advise that Carnegie bought the ten shares in the Adams Express Co. at a total outlay of $500, which , proved so profitable an investment and enabled him to consider a pro- position for founding a new iron com- pany to be known as the Cyclops Iron Works. This was the beginning of Carnegie’s wonderful career as an ironmaster. He was thirty years old at the time. Soon after, with a little more money and some bank credit, he founded the greater enterprise of the KeyStone Iron Works. His en- terpriees proved marvellously suc- cessful and in twenty years Carnegie had become the owner of seven iron and steel works, beside many coke . works. He became a power in the! land and in the world at large. and? his fame hasincreased from that time‘ until the present. As soon as he had i established himself surely as a greatl captain of industry Mr. Carnegie; began to throw 0E some business re~ ; sponsibilities and became interestedl in philanthropy. He endowed the: city of Pittsburg with many hand-é. some and costly insritutions and scat-i tered free libraries all over the United 1 States. Canada and Great Britain, and he set aside ten million dollars for the extra endowment of Scottish universities, with special precautions that the poor youth of his native country should reap the benefit. His philanthrophy has long reached the dimensions of a vast business enter- prise, and applications are received and disposed of by regular routine. ANIBFW CABFIGIE From the Toronto-(1'1 LILY Doug“; k- The Novelist and Her Work. In the old homestead. “Ivy Cottage,” nestling under the shadow of Mount Royal, Montreal, Lily Dougall. one of Canada’s most notable novelists, was bom in 1858. In addition to the drop of ink that seems part 0! the chemistry of the Dougall blood, she inherited the strength of character, the love for humanity and the earnestness of purpose of her father, John Dougall, the founder of the “Montreal Witness.” Miss Dougall's brother and sister snow the same characteristics in their good work in journalism and philanthropy. Miss Dougall spent her childhood in Montreal, and since then, because her health was not robust enough to stand the bracmg rigor of Lanadian winters, has spent much of her time abroad. '1 he education she received under private tutors , was supplemented by her study at AbeL Academy , Andover, Mass, and a course at Cheltenham and later at Edinburgh University, where she was honored with the A degree of L.L.A. She has lived much of her tune in England and Scotland, and confesses to cycling and traveling in out-ot-thc-way places unknown to Cook’s tourists, as her pet recreations. In 1891 her first book, “Beggars All.” appeared and, winning instant acceptance as the strongest and most original romance of the year, was termed a masterpiece of restrained and legitimate dramatic fiction. Two years later her novel “What Necessity knows.” received high praise. In 1805 her two books “The Mermaid” and “The Zeitgeist” won the apâ€" preciative approval of the critics and public by the boldness of their conception, the strength of treatment. mastery in the delineation of character. beauty in des- cription. the broadness of view and sympathy they manifested. and the dramatic quality that held the attention of the reader throughout, and more than satisfied it in the. ending. So uniformly good is her work that it is difficult to say which i is best. many of her admirers, however. claim it is “The Madonna of a Day, ” in which i the heroine, Mary Howard. a selfish young journalist. traveling along the Canadian 1 Pacific Railway, is lost among the vast snowy solitudes of the mountains. and wanders ' intoa lawless mining camp. The story is original throughout, and, though witty and cynical at times. there runs through it the thread of a mighty purpose, worked , out with rare force and effectiveness. g With the work of many contemporary novelists one feels that having read one i story one can predict just how the others will turn out; they seem literary stock l companies where the characters may change their dress and their lines, but are i z" mam”. nva the. same old characters in new masquerade.

Only he who has longed as I did {0' Saturdays to come can understand what Colonel Ander‘ son did for me and other boys of ‘Allegheny, several of whom have lrisen to eminence. Is it any wonder that I resolved that, if ever surplus wealth came to me, I would use it in imitating m3 benefactor ?” Thrift, too, is a subject on which Mr. Carnegie loves to dwell. and on which he may be said to speak as an authority. “ The first thing that a man should learn to do is to save his money.” he wrote once in the Ameri- a ....... " mH;nh ha: WUUU" UV wnvvv '"v' -_ -___ __, can journal. ”Success," which has asked him the secret of his own mar- vellous achievements. “ By saving his money he promotes thriftâ€"the most valued of all habits. Thrift is the great fortune-maker. It draws the line between the savage and the civilized man. Thrift not only de- veIOpes the fortune, but it develops also the man’s character.” On the same subject he wrote oncel for publication in a Scottish journal as follows :-â€"-“The accumulation of millions is usually the result of en- terprise and judgment, and some ex- ceptional ability or organization. It does net come from savings in the ordinary sense of the word. Men who in old age strive only to increase [their already too great hoards are i usually slaves oi the habit of hoard. ‘ A an.-. 1905, by W. C. Mack. wanna-J v-wv 'â€" ing, formed invtheir youth.

Later in life the money uuu U-Vuu. ._.. owns them. and they cannot help themselves, so overpowering is the force of habit. either for good or evil. It is the abuse of the civilized saving inStinct, and not its use, that pro- duces this class of men. No one needs be afraid of falling a victim to this abuse of the habit. if he always bears in mind that whatever surplus wealth may come to him is to be re- garded as a sacred trust, which he is I bound to administer for the good of. his fellows. The man should always be master. He should keep money in the position of a useful servant; he must never let it be his master and make a miser of him. A man’s first duty is to acquire a competence and be independent. then to do some- thing for his needy neighbors who are less favored than himsel .” ties. The present disaster in San Francisco appealed instantly to his sympathies. and be forwarded $100.~ 000 to the relief fund. On the whole, Mr. Carnegie is in no danger of being {included in the class of rich men de- nounced the other day by President Roosevelt. He is a genuine man of the people who has risen nobly to the responsibilities of his immense wealth, and is deserving of the heart- iest~ of welcomes from the Canadian people. Photo by Full.
