CARNEGIE, ] I Death of Famous Millionaire. I ROMANTIC LIFE.  I The death, occurred on Monday, at Lenox. Massachusetts, of Mr. Andrew Carnegie. He died of bronchial pneu- monia. after three days' illness. He was 8-1, and left a wife and daughter. Acting on his favourite aphorism, the aim of the millionaire should be to die poor; and thus avoid disgrace," at the age of 62 Mr. Andrew Carnegie retired from business with a fortune of over £ 40,000,000. and up till the day of his death he was engaged in trying to get rid of it. He was born at Dunfermline in 1835. His father was a damask weaver who suf- fered from the power-loom then beginning to depopulate the little villages of Scot- land. Deciding to begin life anew in the States. he took his family with him to Allegheny City, Pennsylvania, where Andrew, at the age fi, 11, found work in a bobbin factory at a weekly wage of a dollar and a half. Promotion to the engine-room followed, his duty being to stoke the furnace with wood chip". A MESSENGER BOY. Educating himself as best he could in arithmetic antl bookkeeping he qualified a9 messenger bov to the Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph Office, Pittsburg, at a weekly salary of two dollars and a half. After I got my coveted job," he wrote afterwards, I was constantly on nettles for fenr I could not keep it. At that time I was an utier stranger in Pittsburg. I knew nothing about the streets there, and the names on the messages given me to deliver were all Greek to me I made up my mind not to fail, however, and I walked through the business streets early and late, and learned all the addresses by heart. After that I felt safe." I THE CAPITALIST STARTS. I Herp he learned telegraphy, and at the age of 16 became an operator, at 20 dollars a month. The instinct of the capitalist began to awaken. While I was here," he declared to an American interviewer, there were six papers in Pitts-hnrg; «on.et!"ei>i:]y six copies of the Press dispatches were re~ ceiv? in our office The man who had thp job of ma?n? these Copies received six dollars a week for it. When he offered me one dollar to do his work I gladly agreed. t was working for myself now on an independent contract, doing some- thing beyond my salaried task. That dol- lar a week I considered my own. It did t'ot go to the family support. It was my I first capital." MORTGAGED HIS MOTHER'S FARM.! The younfr telegraph operator turned the corner towards the making of his fortune ¡' when he was offered by Mr. Thomas A Scott, superintendent of. the Pennsylvania Railroad, the post of private secretary. His first investment, prompted by Mr. Scott, was in 600 dollars' worth of Adiims Express stock. To raise the money young Carnegie persunded his mother to mort- gage the house he hatl bought for her, and in time, he proudly declared, the dividends Hftf'd the mortgage." STRUCK OIL, I From Pittsburg Carnegie went to Wash- ington to take charge, during the Civil War, of the Government telegraph office. In 18G2 he again resumed his work on his old railroad, and shortly afterwards suc- ceeded Mr. Scott as superintendent of the line. While acting in. this capacity he made his first big financial adventure, and invested a small sum of borrowed money in the Woodruff Sleeping Car Syndicate. Then came a greater stroke of luck in the nurchase along with n few partners of the Storey Farm, on Oil Creek. Forty thousand dollars were paid for the farm, and in one year the oil yielded a profit of a million dollars. I HOMESTEAD RIOTS. I Mr. Carnegie has been much blamed in Labour circles for the bloodshed which sprang out of the labour troubles at Home- stead in 1S92, but at that period he had practically resigned control of the busi- ness to his masterful partner, Mr. Frick. That gentleman took up the position that had bccon.e a question whether the Carnegie Company or the Amalga- mated Association should run the plant at Homestead, and we decided to run it our- gelves." Mr. Frick a few day after this ulti- matum received a bullet wound, which nearly proved fatal, from the revolver of nn anarchist named Bachman. In 1901 the Carnegie Steel Company merged itself, under the guidance of Mr. Pierpont Morgan, into the great American gteel Trust, with a capital of = £ 229,000,000. Mr. Carnegie retired with a capital of JE40.000.000 and an annual income from money left in the concern of from two to three million pounds. THE CARNEGIE LIBRARIES. If you write to (,am«gie and ask 111m I for an autograph give you a library to get rid of you," was once said of Cnr? negie.

Choate, suspecting a joke, said: But I might nover see it again." Come, come, it's no laughing matter," was the reply. "My cabman's waiting at the door, and I haven't a penny!" FORTY-SEVEN MILLIONAIRES. I I Mr. Carnegie has been credited witn uw making of 47 millionaires. His method of choosing these men was characteristic. Mr. Mcreland, formerly sec rotary of the Carnegie Company, once told how, when he was merely auditor of the company, be was invited to consult with Carnegie, and offered wine. No, thanks, I d,,)n't di-iiik," he eaid. To an offer of cigars he replied he did not smoke, and when asked to play cards de- nied knowledge of them. "Tell me why you do none of the, things," said his host,. You've kept me working too hard all these years." More- land replied. I'm going to give you three months' vacation, Andy, and for Heaven's sake go off and learij to do something beside work!

Several important cases had to be ad- journed at Amrnanford on Monday owing to the absence of witnesses. In one case, Mr. S. Griffith alleged tlierp had been intimidation of his only lumb.

i BACK TO WORK.  Bakers' Strike Ends As You Were." j The bakers' strike is ending, and when if does end, the position will be practi- cally the same as when the strike began, except for a disorganised condition of delivery rpunds. At the joint meeting in Cardiff on Monday afternoon both the Masters' Federation and. the District Board oi the Operatives' Union decided to recommend a resumption on the general lines of the London resolution, namely, that the question of hours and wages shall be re- ferred to arbitration, and night work ha ultimately dealt with' by Act of Parlia- ment. "WHEN POSSIBLE." I The meeting reeormncnded that all men be reinstated (when possible) and that a committee be appointed to discuss the question of night work. The operatives met at the Workmen's Club on Tuesday morning, and the Swan- sea Masters' Association will meet on Tuesday evening, to receive the recom- mendation and discuss the general posi- tion "ROTTEN WITH BREAD." I Asked what was now likely to happen, said he expected a resump- tion of work as soon as possible; he did not know when that vould be; it ililglit b. next Monday morning, for he oon- sidered it would take that long to get the business into shape. The town, he said. was over-stockcd with bread, absolllt.dy rotten with it" was his expression. Mumbles was returning bread on Tues- day. and half of the supply taken to Dunvant had been sent bacl^. Bread was over-plentiful end the emer- gency vans were not being sent out on Tuesday.

The defendants were a'so charged with n t t-xhibitins a list of prioes.

DANGER SSCNS. Llamily Jury and Dangerous I Bathing Places. The circumstances attending the drowning fatality at the Llaneliy beach were inquired into on Monday afternoon bv tli a Coroner (Mr. W. W. Brodie). John Williams, 52, Sandygate-terrace, said the deeea.sed (lorwerth Williams), who was his son, was employed as a solicitor's clerk. Edgar Samuel. 21, Sandy gate-terrace, said that along wi:h the deceased he went to bathe at 2.50 p m. on Saturday, when the tide was on the turn of the ebb. Three youngsters entered the water, fol- lowed by the deceased and witness. De- ceased told him he could swim from It) to 15 yards, and in five uimites time wit- ness ligard a shout for help. Someone said the deceased was drowning, and at the moment deceased was 15 yardq away. Deceased only came to the surface once, and witness was unable to swim. Some ladies from the theatre, who were bath- ing, endeavoured to save the deceased, but without success. When near to th-P deceased they lost him on account of the strong current. There were hundreds of people at the spot wliere the fatality occurred. From what he had been told since it was a dangeroi^ spot for bathing, but there were no warning notices. Evidence having bean given as to the finding of the body in a pool 200 yards from where his cIoth.es were found. The jury returned a yerd;ct of acci- dentally drowned," and recommended the Harbour Trust to sreab warning notices at the places on the beach where I bathing is dangerous.

I PROFITEERING I BILL. I 251 to 8. REMARKABLE VOTE IN FAVOUR. The, Government Bill to check Pro- fiteering passed its second reading in the House of Commons last night, the voting being: For second reading 251 Against. 8 Majority for 243 The Bill was then referred to a Com- mittee of the whole House, the inten- tion being to take the further stages to- morrow. Sir Auckland Geddes moved the second reading, and said that after September 1 the restrictions on imports wll be "much iess severe than now." He pointed out that never before have there been so many people drawing their income rrom the State, go that as prices grow they have to be paid for from the national purse by what he called "irresistible de- mands for more money. BOOTS AND SHOES. I Amongst the instances of huge profits he took the case of boots and shoes. In districts which were not fashionable the prieetj oi boots were £2 10s. to .3 per pair for a ready-made article, while something quite similar could be bought wholesale at prices varying from 15s. to 25s. it certainly looked as if there was a case there for investigation. Take another case: that cf building. An I estimate was required for improvements in cottage property. The estimate re- ceived wa^ £ 3,500. An expert went into it and found that, with a reasonable ordi- nary profit, it could be done for ?2,500. That showed the hrm who gave the first estimate thought they could get £ 1,000 extra proht on a S2,o00 job. Tho's? ;;??re the sort of things the Government wanted to stop. His main defence of the Bill was that I so far from being a rash or hastily con- ceived measure, it had been carefully Thought out for many months and was first considered by the Cabinet on July 14. THE OPPOSITION. ) Mr. Kennedy Jones moved the rejection [ of the Bill which, he said, was not only bound to be ineffective and would create another vast and cumbrous Department of Control. Even if it did a little good, that little good would not counter-balance I the positive and extensive harm which it I would do to trade. Finally, he objected to giving a blank cheque to Sir Auck- land Geddes or anybody else. Mr. Clynes asked why the name of the Food Controller was not on the Back of the Bill? His main contention was that the Government evidently had no inten- tion to deal with the man at the top." According to him. this Bill will give a I Vider measure of exemption for the big profiteer. SPOKE AGAINST AND VOTED FOR. The Prune Minister voted, and there were eoluc curiloas features about the division Sir William Watson Ruther. ford, who had seconded the motion for rejection, voted for the Bill, as did Mr. Clynes, whose speech against it was the most erful of the debate. The action of the member for Platting was- due to tho fact that in the interval the Labour Par^y had held a meeting and had de- cided to support the second reading. But with this reservation, that if it be not amended in Committee to the party's lik- ing it may vote against the third read- ing.

COMRADES' CARNIVAL. I The Comrades' carnival in Victoria Park, introduced by the fancy di«t& parade which delighted Swansea streets on Monday, was formally opened m ic- diately after the judging of fancy tresses by Miss Nellie Soutter, leading faii (,f A Chinese Honeymoon now perform- ing in the Grand Theatre.

OBSCURED PLATE. I Chas. E. L. Simpson, Cathedral-road, Cardiff, WHS at Neath on Monday ordered l to pay the costs for riding a motor cycle with index plate obscured. Mr. Bishop, Llandilo, defended, and it was stated that Simpson gave a lift to an old school friend from th u-Aftimbles to Neath, and his coat obscured the rear plate.
