Mr Carnegie's Gifts . —^- (From the Times ) On March 13, when Mr Andrew Oarnegia sailed from Nrw York for Europe leaving behind a letter, bear Ing date tho previous day, making gifts aggregating 5,000,000 dollars for Libraries and pension fends for the iron and steel mills which ha hfid bmilt up m and about the Oity of Pitteburg, the American newspapers were taking account of hia total gifts to Libraries, Oollegep, Institutes*} labors'ori^a, and working men's pensions. Thane thpn amounted t0'16,863,252 dollars. But this was not long to be icc^ptfd rh an ftccur&te return, as only two days lafcsr letters were published m which the retired steel tnanufacfiKer offered 5,200,000 dollar* to the Oity of N*w York for the purpose of bailding 65 branches of the new fre« library now Id course of construction, andI,QOO,O'JU dollars to the Oity of fee Louis, Mis souri, for a like purpose; It then ap pear, d that by four letters, all bearing date March 12, Mr Oarnegie had giv«n tawny sums aggregating 11,200,000 dollars. B -fjre the latter benefactions j were announced a comparison had beei.* j .tnadfi between him a«d the late Mr | Q-eorge Peabony, whofce gifts amounted, i m the total, to 8,325,000 dollars. As | hia surplus fortune was only 5,000,000 dollars, the proportion devoted to s gifts wre, indeed, mach greater than that thos far reached by Mr Oarnegie. However, the latter's fortune is about 20 timea as large as that of his pre decessor, end as he announces that he has ooly ' just begun ' at 64, with good health and a determination to ward off the possible DTS&RAC® OF DYING BICH I there is no telling whut, his record may reach. At the isst report his total gifts, «o far as now known, actually ten dered and accepted, were 22,563,252 dolUiß, or more than four and a half millions sterlings. Hor are the latter. benefactions made wholly or oven Urgely from income, as the pension fund of 4,000,000 dollars for the workers m the old Carnegie mills is from capital m the form of bonds of the new steel combina tion. About two years ago, after one of his energetic spasms of giving Mr Oarnegie, ppeaking of his latest expen ditures of thiektnd, said to a friend, •You see I »m m debt 3,000,000 dollars to myeelf, 1 explaining that he h*d had to anticipate his income to this extent, Now thai his retirement Is complete he will not be hampered, as he cau draw freely upon s capital sum wellnigh mcx baastible His care m devoting this money only to certain purposes, under simple but wise restrictions, must be exercised m every instance. The list of objects, already enumerated, to which Mr Oarnegie devotes money is very limited, and It is not likely after all these years of experience to be greatly extended. He has not included hos pital?, almshouees, or what may be culled bodily charities within his aims. He has rigidly refused to have anything to do with mere doles. He bus the very strongest fear lest be may, m the mini itration of the vast fortune entrusted \o him—be really looks upon himself as a trustee —do something which will pro mote the paupsrisation of his bem■ficia riep. He has not, on the other h»nd, done much for cathedrals or churches not from sny prejudice, b:t mainly from hiß knowledge of the LIBERALITY OF HIS COUNTRYMEN, to whom the building and support of these institutions has become aocond raturc It ia aleo inter-pgting to note tbafc these benefactions are limited almost wholly to Scotland, his native, and to the United States, his adopted country, the former having benefited by libraries or aid to them m Edin but'gbj, Ayr t ■*■ tilling, Aberdeen, Jed burgh, lovertififls, Wick, Peterhead, Dumfries*, and Dttnfermlinp, which, to gether with 50,000 dollars to tb<- Technical Schbol at Edinburgh, amount m all to just ov?r 600,000 dollars. England has reefived nothing except £50,000 contributed to the new Birmingham University. No doubt this is a studied policy based upon the assumption that this country. ■, is rich enough to provide its own en dowments. No doubt, too, the fact that local authorities have so generally taken advantage of the Free Libraries Acts has induced Mr Oarnegie to give hie money where the need for it was greater. Canada has shared but slightly m these gifts j only two libra ries being founded or assisted—that at Toronto with 100,000 dollars, and thafc at Sydney (N.S) with 15,000 dollars. The number of separate in stitutions founded or assistad is now something more than 80. bnfc with branches they will number about 150 In his letter, addressed *To the good people of Pittsburgh Mr Garnegte re newed bis allegiance to the place of his youth as well as of the beginning andi growth of bis fortune. It has loDg been known among faia friends that be intended, first and last, to expend about 10 000,000 dollars on the library museum, and institute which bear his name m Pittsbarg.
