distinction of being the engineer on a
locomotive which assist* d (icner;!
Sherman on his famous “march to tho

engineering corps and after the t i\d
War was always found on a locomo

came a telegraph messenger, later a
telegraph operator.
Andrew was Id when his father dif 1.
and In* became at once the hread-wi t
n«'*- of the family and a true capitalist.
He had been told by his trusted em
ployer that ten hares of Adams F! :
pcoss stock couhl he had for $*00. and
it was good investment At a fam* v
council H it night Carnegie’s mother
decided she would mortage her lit’le
home fo $.’>00. l'ho stock wa.) bought.,
and it brought monthly dividends of
one por cent.
The n< \* step toward independence
and fortune came when T. T. Wood

approached him with a model of the
invention. “He had rot spoken* to me

“before, like a flash, the whole range
of its val ie hurst upon me. ‘Yes’, I
said, that is something which this con
tinent must have.”
H consult' d a friend named ScoH.
ami the three invested for the manu
fuctuiv of the cars. Carnegie, then
earnin'/ $o0 monthly, had to borrow
$200 ->n his first installment of capi
tal. hut later when he sold out hi< in
terest to the Pullman Company, b *
had r. alized $10,000 for the venture.
Carnegie was *20 when the ( ivd
War broke out and he saw his old em
plover and friend Scott elevated *M
the post of Assistant Secretary e*.
War. Carnegie, in turn, won an ap
pointment as director of government
railway.' and telegraphs, To the ca>*
nage h»* aw at several battles may he
traced h;s lifelong helief in the folly
of warfares-“a blot upon civiliza
tion.”
Unwittingly following the load ot
a man who was later to eclipse him in
fort 'no building. Carnegie, at "0 years
of ago. invested in oil. As one of a
syndicate ho bought up a vast tract of
oil land. In a year, to the surprise of
all investors, it paid.the astonishing
return of $1,000,000 in cash dividends
uno a capital of $10,000.
But iron was the magnet then at
tracting Carnegie. The railroads were
experimenting with cast iron bridges.
Carnegie foresaw the demand for a
factory that could turn out iron parts,
and he formed the Keystone Bridge
Works. They built, as their first grea
piece, a bridge over the Ohio river,
with a span of "00 feet. Demand for
similar structures became general, and
the Keystone works got the big orders
and profits.
Carnegie then began to see that
iron rails must be given up for steel,
on a visit to England in 1868, he dis

( AN NOT M \ INT\1N
TWO Oi l H I \I. HOMES
I ON HOW Aug. 12— The Iiishop of
London. l>r. Ingram, with a salary «».
0,000. finds that he can n«>* Peep ' p
both of the residences which go v.'i-h
his position- and proposes to rent or
sell his town house. The bishop’s town
house is situated in St. .lames’ sepia' -
about the most aristocratic area of
London. It \va> once the home ot th
Karl *>f Warwick* and the church
bought it some two centuries ago.
Th<» other residence is Fulham pul
a«*e. which is across the Thames from
the suburb or Putney* where the Ox
fo?d*( am bridge boat races start.
The hi. hop explained to a diocesan
conference that $22*o00 of h > income
went for income tax* super*t: x* muni
cipal tax* s and insurance. That left
him only $17*000 to maintain these two
establishments* and to keep a motor*
and the minimum of ten sonants ab
solutely needed for I* ulham pa!a* M
alone.
“You must see." he said- “it can not
hr* done. You ask your wives. Pessi
mists have told me I would not he
able even to keep Pulliam palace go
ing. but I intend to make a great ef
fort before parting with a historic
possession of the church for 1*300
years."
The bishop is in the same boat v ith
numerous others of the clergy. They
are appointed to a position with a cer
tain salary “and living". The “living"
is a residence* often larger than they
can maintain on the salary* so that it
constitutes a liability rather than an
asset. Several important church offic
ials have closed their houses during
the war. and have lived in less expen
sive houses.
