CARNEGIE INSTITUTION
FIRST MEETING OP THE TRUSTEES
AT 1VASHIXGTOX.
Tie Donor States the Parpoiei e
HI Gift Dr. Gilman la
Elected President.
"WASHINGTON, Jan. 29. Andrew Car
negie and the board of trustees of "the
Carnegie Institution," the new National
university of post-graduate studies, which
Mr. Carnegie has founded with an endow
ment of $10,000,000, held their first meeting
here today. Mr. Carnegie spent most
of the forenoon In an informal conference
with the trustees. He announced his defi
nite purpose to entrust them with the ab
solute control of the endowment, and
stated that he did not wish to Influence
their judgment In any way.
Dr. Gilman, ex-president of the
Johns Hopkins College, of Baltimore, to
whom Mr, Carnegie confided his plans be
fore the' project was announced, and Dr.
Charles D. Wolcott, director of the United
States Geological Survey, who has been
the spokesman for Mr. Carnegie In the
announcement of the plans and virtually
secretary of the board, stated that no
member of the board has come to "Wash
ington with a tentative plan of organiza
tion drafted. A general desire prevailed,
said Dr. Gilman, that every detail of the
organization should be freely discussed by
the entire board, and that the completed
scheme of organization should be the re
sult of such discussion. He had under
stood, he said, from talks- with Mr. Car
negie, what the latter hoped might be
done, but the subject of practical organ
ization had not been discussed.
An adjourned meeting of the trustees
was held at the State Department this af
ternoon, and a long step was taken to
ward permanent organization and the ini
tiation of the work of the Institution.
Abram S. Hewitt, of New York, called
the meeting to order, and Secretary Hay
was elected temporary chairman and
Charles D. "Walcott temporary secretary.
W. E. Dodge, of New Ybrk, was elected
to "the board, -to fill the vacancy caused
by the declination of ex-President Cleve
land, who sent la letter regretting his in
ability to serve.
After the roll call Andrew Carnegie
made a brief address, presenting the deed
of gift. He said:
"I beg to thank you deeply for so
promptly, so cordially aiding me by ac
ceptance of the trusteeship. A note from
the President congratulates me upon the
high character. Indeed I may say, the ex
traordinary high character of the trustees
such are his words. I believe this estab
lishment has been generally approved
throughout the wide boundary of the
United States.
"My first thought was that to fulfill the
expressed wish of "Washington by estab
lishing a university here, but a study of
the question forced me to the decision
that under the present conditions, were
"Washington still with us, his finely bal
anced judgment would decide that. In our
generation at least, such use of wealth
would not be best. One of the most seri
ous objections, and one that I could not
overcome, was that another university
might tend to weaken existing universi
ties. My desire was to co-operate with
all educational institutions and establish
what would be a source of strength and
not of weakness to them, and the idea of
a "Washington University or anything of
a memorial character was therefore aban
doned. "It cost some effort to push aside the
tempting .idea of a Washington Univer
sity, founded by Andrew -Carnegie, which
the President of the "Women's George
"Washington Memorial Association was
kind enough to suggest. That may be re
served for another in the future, for the
realization of Washington's desire would,
perhaps. Justify the linking of another
name with his, but certainly nothing else
would. This gift, or the donor, has no
pretensions to such honor, and in no wise
Interferes with the proposed university or
with any memorial. It has Its own more
modest field, and is Intended to co-operate
with all kindred Institutions, including
the Washington University , If ever built,
and it may be built If we continue to In
crease in population as heretofore for a
generation. In this hope I think the name
should be sacredly held In reserve. It is
not a matter of $1,000,000. or $10,000,000, or
even of $20,000,000, but of more, to fulfill
worthily the wish of Washington, and 1
think no one would presume to use that
almost sacred name except for a univer
sity of the very first rank established by
National authority, but as he desired. Be
It our part, in our day and generation, to
do what we can to extend the boundaries
of human knowledge by utilizing existing
institutions.
"Gentlemen, your work begins, your
alms are high, you seek to extend known
forces and to discover and utilize new
forces for the benefit of man. Than this
there can scarcely, be greater work. 1
wish you abundant success, and venture
to prophecy that through your efforts in
co-operation with those of kindred so
cieties In our country, contributions to
the advancement of the race through re
search will compare In the near future
not unfavorably with those of any other
land. Again I thank you."
The deed itself recites In substance, as
follows:
"That Andrew Carnegie deems it his
duty and his highest privilege to admin
ister the wealth which has come to him
as a trustee In behalf of others, and, en
tertaining the belief that the best means
of discharging that trust Is by extending
the opportunities for study and research
in our country, he transfers to the
trustees named $10,000,000 of registered 5
per cent bonds of the United States Steel
Corporation. This gift is to be held In
trust, the income from bonds or from
other securities that may be substituted
for them to be applied to paying the
expenses of the trustees, who are to re
ceive the bonds and collect the Interest,
and may sell the same and invest the
proceeds according to the laws of New
York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts,
and who are not made responsible for the
safety of the bonds or for their depreda
tion. They may appoint officers, fixing
their salaries, and provide for the finan
cial business of the trust. The Income Is
to be expended for founding In Washing
ton an Institution to co-operate with
those now or hereafter established and
in the broadest and most liberal manner
encourage investigation, research and
discovery, show the application of knowl
edge to the Improvement of mankind,
provide such buildings, laboratories, books
and apparatus as may be needed and af
ford instruction of any advanced charac
ter to students properly qualified to
profit thereby. Unexpended Income may
be kept in a reserve fund to defray the
cost of buildings. By a two-thirds vote
the trustees may modify these conditions
In connection with the original purpose
which !; 'to secure If possible, for the
United States of America leadership In
the domain of inquiry and the utilization
of new forces for the benefit of man
kind. "
After accepting the deed of gift, the
trustees proceeded to adopt by-laws, and
then elected the following officers: Chair
man of the board of trustees, Abraham
Hewitt: vice-chairman. Dr. C. H. Bill
ings: secretary. Charles D. Walcott. Dr.
D. C. Gilman was elected president of
the Carnegie Institution. The board then
adtourned to meet tomorrow.
Secretary Hay entertained at dinner to
night the members of the board of
trustees of the institution. President
Roosevelt and Mr. Carnegie were pres
ent. St. PanI Church Darned.
ST. PAUL. Jan. 29. The large house of
worship of the People's Church, the Inde
pendent Congregational Society, of which
Dr. S. G. Smith, the well-known sociolo
gist. Is pastor, was destroyed by Are this
afterrcon. The building contained an
auditorium with a seating capacity of
2300, kindergarten, industrial school and
I other branches. The mansion of James
J. Hill, is just back of the church, but was
at no time in danger. Hard -work by the
lire department was necessary to keep the
flames from spreading to the Farrlngton
apartment building and residences on the
other side of the church. The church was
built in 1SS8, and represented an outlay
of $105,000. The Insurance was only $50,000.
Dr. Smith's valuable private library was
in his stud and was consumed.

VAN SANT WILL FIGHT IT
The Governor's Reply to Minneapolis
Business Men.
ST. PAUL, Jan. 29. Governor Van Sant
today replied tothe petition from Minne
apolis business men, who asked him to
cease his fight on the so-called railroad
merger. The letter is addressed to Jan
ney, Semple, Hill & Co., and the Gov
ernor says:
"I beg to acknowledge receipt of a pe
tition from you and numerous other gen
tlemen doing business In the city of Min

clfic and the Great Northern Railway
Companies, through the organization of
the Northern Securities Company, Is
clearly a violation of the state statutes.
I obligated myself when I was Inaugu
rated Governor -of the state to enforce the
laws thereof. It Is my bounden duty to
prevent, if possible, the consolidation re
ferred to, because such consolidation is
In violation of the clear and unmistakable
provisions of the laws which have been
on the statute books for over a quarter
of a century. Not only Is the letter of
the law, but also the settled policy of
this state, against the consolidation of
parallel and competing railroad lines.
Competition In the matter of rates always
has been and ever will be beneficial to the
people, and no specious argument or state
ment from those desiring to do away
with such competition is sufficient to meet
plain facts derived from common experi
ence. "However, the question whether the law
Is wise or unwise does not confront me.
The law exists, and has been violated
my duty Is plain. I therefore must re
spectfully decline to comply with the re
quests contained 1n your petition, and
shall continue as vigorously as possible
to vindicate the laws of our state."
Gagre Offered Many Good Positions.
CHICAGO, Jan. 29. Close personal
friends of Lyman J. Gage, says the Record-Herald,
make the statement that he
will accept the presidency of the Chicago
Title & Trust Company. Officers of the
company have not been, notified of his ac
ceptance as yet, but some of them ex
press confidence that he will decide to
take the position.
Mr. Gage will leave the Treasury De
partment February 1, turning the office
over on that day to Governor Shaw. It
is probable that he will take a rest of a
few weeks before accepting any position.
That will give him time to look over the
ground in New York, where trust com
pany positions have been offered to him,
but many of his closest friends state posi
tively that he will pass by the opportuni
ties In other cities to get back to Chicago.
Carelessness in Transmitting Money.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 29. Remarkably
carelfFS practices" In the transmission of
large amounts of currency by mall to
Cuba are complained of In a report re
ceived today by Postmaster-General Payne
from Director-General Fosnes, of the Cu
ban postal service. The registered mall
Is being regularly and largely used for
the transmission of money between the
United States and Cuba. Mr. Fosnes Days
that with liberal use of strong paper, twine
and sealing wax It Is possible so to wran
these packages that they cannot break I
open and "subject officials to unwarranted
stress of temptation."

Are on her. The revolutionary steamers

Contents of the Dutch Note to Great
Britain.
LONDON, Jan. 29. The Hague corre
spondent of the Dally Mail says he is able
to announce on authority that the Dutch
note to Great Britain, after rehearsing
the great concern of that government at
the prolongation of hostilities In South
Africa, offered Its good offices in bring
ing them to a close. To this end Holland
asked whether Great Britain would be will
ing to permit a Dutch commission to pro
ceed to South Africa to enlighten the Boer
leaders in the field as to the real position
of affairs, and more especially since it Is
understood that there Is not the slightest
chance of Intervention on the part of any
European power and that the prolongation
of hostilities Is useless, if the brave strug
gle can serve no further good purpose.
The correspondent says the Dutch Gov
ernment expressly announces In this note
that It possesses no authorization whatso
ever from the Boer leaders, either in Eu
rope or South Africa, to take this suggest
ed step, but that it appeals to Great Brit
ain on the ground of common humanity,
for military permission for the Dutch com
mission to accomplish Its mission of peace.
Such permission would bind neither the
British Government to the discussion of
terms or the initiation of any negotiations,
nor pledge the Dutch Government for the
success of its self-imposed task.
It is understood that Great Britain is
awaiting the receipt of Lord Kitchener's
views on this suggestion, and is willing
t6 grant the requested safe conduct to the
Dutch commission If Lord Kitchener offers
no objections, though it is not hopeful of
any practical result from the effort.
DEPOPULATION OF FRANCE.
The Subject Under Investigation by
n Parliamentary Commission.
PARIS, Jan. 29. The Premier, M. Wal-dcck-Rousseau,
presided today at the
opening session of the Parliamentary
Commission appointed to Investigate the
depopulation of France. In his address
the Premier said the question was one
of the most vast and complicated that
could be conceived. The statistics of the
past 30 years showed there had been too
fow births and too many deaths In France.
The commission would have to study how
to combat the great Infant mortality, and
also how to prevent the diminution and
Increase the number of births, which was
the most difficult and obscure side of the
problem. The government, he added. In
tended to embody the fruits of the com
mission's labors in future legislation.
The Chamber of Deputies adopted the
principle of the bill limiting the period of
dally work in the mines to eight hours.
M. Baudln. Radical Socialist, supporting
the bill, declared that the mortality among
miners was 50 per cent higher than in the
other Industries, and that the work of
miners ought to' be regulated like that of
women and children. He said that the
government approved this measure; that
Parliament later on would consider
whether there was ground to extend the
measure to other Industries, and that the
reduction In the hours of labor would
not lead to a diminution of the mineral
output.
No Cause for Dispute.
LONDON, Jan. 29. There has been no
dispute between the colonies and the War

Premiers added 3 per cent commission.

Colonial Office. The question was raised
by WHl!am H. K. Redmond, Irish Na
tionalist, in the House of Commons, and
the War Secretary, Mr. Brodrlck, re
plied that such a commission was cus
tomary for local expenditures in behalf
of the imperial government, and that It
would be allowed in the case of the colonies.

Starts
With a Cold
Catarrh is a
lingering cold
which refuses
to yield to or
dinary treat
ment. Catarrh usually starts with a cold In the
head, and if left Unchecked In this climate,
rarely get well of itself.
As fresh cold Is taken the disease
spreads, getting deeper and deeper, creep
ing along the mucous membranes from
nose to throat, from throat to windpipe,
from windpipe to bronchial tubes, and
from bronchial tubes to lung cells.
The mucous membranes all connect, one
with another. Hence it Is easy to spread
from one part to another lined with this
same membrane. This is why catarrh In
the head soon affects the throat, and final
ly the stomach Itself, bringing on chronic
catarrh of the stomach, which Is a most
obstinate form of dyspepsia.
Everybody Is now well agreed that ca
tarrh Is a blood disease, and not a local
one, and the attempt to cure by local ap
plications simply gives temporary relief
from the purely local symptoms without
the remotest effect In staying the prog
ress of the disease.
There Is a new preparation recently of
fered to the public that Is apparently
destined to do away with every other form
of catarrh treatment.
This new remedy Is not a secret patent
medicine, but is a large, pleasant-tasting
tablet, composed of bloodroot, red gum,
from the eucalyptus tree, and other valu
able and harmless specifics, which are
taken Internally and" seem to have a re
markable beneficial effect upon the blood
and mucous membranes, apparently elimi
nating the catarrhal poison from the
whole system.
These tablets, while being pleasant, con
venient and absolutely sate to use, have
made cures In long-standing cases of
-catarrh that, are little-short of marvelous.
They are sold by druggists under name
of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, and any ca
tarrh sufferer who has tried inhalers. lo
tions, ointments, salves, etc., and realized
their inconvenience and uselessness, will
fully appreciate the difference between a
mere pallative and a permanent cure
after giving Stuart's Catarrh Tablets an
Impartial trial. .
All druggists sell them at 50 cents for
full-sized package, and no matter where
the catarrh Is located. In the head, throat,
lungs or stomach, Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets will surprise you with the effective
result of even a few days' use.

The Pittsburg Gazette" has a new name
for "Mysterious" Billy Smith. It calls
him "Billy the Butter."
The Cincinnati Innuirer also mv th
following tribute to "Mysterious, Billy
Smith:
"Al Nelll, of San Francisco, was awarded
he decision on a foul in the 13th round
of his fight with Mysterious Billy Smith,
at Portland, Thursday night. Smith bit
Nelll and kicked him In the ribs with his
knee.
"This fight recalls the rough-house fight
between Smith and Joe Walcott- In New
York. The referee called the men to the
center of the ring and warned them to
fight clean. 'Dat's my style,' said Wal
cott. 'but If a man gets .mean w!d me I
am liable to loose my temper, and when I
gets dat way den I ain't no genleman eny
mo.' Along toward the middle of the
fight Smith started some rough work, and
the referee, seeing that it was useless to
warn them any more, told the men to go
ahead and fight their own way. They

There is no poison so highly contagious,

as this. Often a bad case of Rheumatism,
Catarrh, Scrofula or severe skin disease,
an old sore or ulcer developing in middle
life, can be traced to blood poison con-
aSrty Sfn of thG PPOt-

driven out in the beginning. S. S. S. is
the only antidote for this peculiar virus,
the only remedy known that can over
come it and drive it out of the blood, and
it does this so thoroughly and effectually
that there is never a return if the disease
to embarrass or humiliate you afterwards.

DISEASE DESCRIBED
Y SYMPTOM
Tbc Diagnosis Made Easy by the Famous Symptom
Questions; the Cure Made Certain by the
Wonderful Medication Which Reaches
Every Part Subject to Catarrh.
THE TREATMENT THAT CURES
Dr. Copeland' treatment that hat
lifted the darkness and blight of the word
"Incurable" from hundreds of thousands
of cases of Catarrh of the Head. Throat,
Ear Tubes, Bronchial Tubes and Lungs,
works as curative action for two reasons:
(1) ,It reaches every diseased spot
from the orifice of the nose to the
deepest part of the lnngs and the
Innermost recesses of the middle
ear.
(2) Instead of irritating, InflnmlnR
and feeding the fires of the disease,
it soothes, Quiets, heals and enres.
CATARRH OF HEAD AND THROAT
The head and throat become dis
eased from neglected colds, cans-ins-
Catarrh when the condition of
the blood predisposes to this con
dition. "Is your voice husky?"

catarrh extending: from the head
and throat, and If left nnchecked,
extends down the windpipe Into the
bronchial tubes, and in time attacks
the lunjen.
"Have you a cough?"

several causes, but the usual cause
Is caturrh, the mncas dropping
down Into the throat and being

SYMPTOMS OF EAR TROUBLES

from catarrh passing along the Eu
stachian tnbe that leads from the
thront to the ear.
"Is your hearing falling?"
"Do jour ears, discharger
"Do your ears Itch and burn?"

Athletes 3Iust Study at Whitman.
WALLA WALLA, Wash., -Jan. 29. Some
of the crack baseball players of Whitman
College are very much worried because the
faculty of the Institution has ordered
them to make up all deficiencies in schol
arship before they can enter games. Sev
eral of the players have allowed conditions
to accumulate, but the faculty will not
compromise In the matter, as the scholar
ship of the athletes must be kept up to
the prescribed standard. The standing that
is required before a student Is permitted
to take part in athletics is high, and the
rule Is rigidly enforced. In many of the
colleges the professors wink at Irregu
larities in scholarship, but such charges
cannot be made against the Instructors at
Whitman, as some of the best athletes of
previous years have been barred from
competition because of poor classroom
work.

Recently there have been several cases'
of prominent men suddenly falling in
collapse just after earing a hearty meal.i
These men have all been under treats
ment for gastric "trouble," and yet the'
result shows that the treatment they had!
received had smothered the symptoms
but had not retarded, the progress of the
disease.
There is a real danger in the use of
palliatives when there is disease of the
stomach and its allied organs of diges

cases goes on, while the distressing
