twr.iTTEN for the dispatch.!
HOBABLY the
most interesting
room in Mr. An
drew Carnegie's
handsome house,
No.1 West Fifty
first street, New
York, is his li
brary. This
room occupies
the whole front.
' of the second
story, and is a
very pleasant
place. There are
books and books,
reaching from
the floor nearly
to the ceuins;. Mr. Carnegie's idea seems
to have been to get together books for use
and pleasure, without much reference to
bindings. There are, of course, all the
standard works, and various editions of
Shakepeare and of ilr. Carnegie's favorite
poet, Burns.
Botany Mr. Carneiie has made a studv,
and he has many technical works relating
to the subject There are many German
books, but few French ones; Mr. Carnegie
understands the tormer language, but does
not read French. The sacred books of the
East, edited by Max Muller, have a con
spicuous place, and there are the works of
John Morley, who is a personal friend of
Mr. Carnegie. The furnishings of the room
are of oak and old gold plush, with leather
chairs and easy chairs in abundance. Upon
one is painted the kindly invitation, "Best
awhile."
lie I Tru to Scotland.
The master of the house, while the stanch
est American, Is at the same time a true Bon
of Sootland, and reminders ot the land of
his birth greet one upon all sides a bit of
heather, a pine pillow, with its tartan plaid
of dull blues and greens with a thread of
gold, and a chair drapery with the beloved
thistle painted across one corner. It is not
necessary to ask Mr. Carnegie to name his
favorite flower; a glance about the
room shows you that the Scotch thistle,
among plants, claims his first thoughts. It
is painted upon the frieze, on nn old gold
ground, while here and there are bunches of
thistles, with various mottoes between.
Over the mantel is the one from "The
Tempest" -'My library, dukedom large
enough;" upon either side, "The superior
man is centered in himself" and "The King
dom of Heaven is within you;" upon the
opposite wall the immortal lines from Ham
let, "To thine own self be true," etc.; upon
the third side, "The preent moment is our
aim; the nest we never see."
High upon the frieze, in a conspicuous
place between the two windows, isIr. Car
negie's coat of arms, a curiosity in itself.
The crest is a good exponent of his demo
cratic principles a crown reversed and sur
mounted by a cap of liberty; npon the
tscutcheon " are a weaver's shuttle and a
shoemaker's knife; the supporters, the
American and Scotch flags, with tne legend
beneath all, "Deaih to Privilege"
Some Favorite Quotation.
The heavy mantel of carved oak has the
following lines just tbove the open fire-
" Onr hearth our altar.
Its flame our saored Are.
Over the mantel, supported by a shelf, Is
a representation of a book carved In oak,
with this quotation upon the open page:
He that cannot reason Is a fool,
Ho that will not a uiROt,
He that dares not a slave.
Of particular interest are three trowels,
which are counted among the treasures of
the library. One, a massive one of silver
gilt ith oak handle, was used by Mr. Car
negie in laying the foundation stone of the
public librarv presented br him to the city
ot Edinburgh, July 9, 1857. The trowel
bears the iollowing inscription:
This trowel was tioo'l by
Andrew Carnegie, Esquire,
On tlie oecas-ion of laying the
Foundation stono
ot the
Public Library presented bv him to the
Citv ot Eainlmrgli,
3th July. 1SS7.
Upon the reverse side is engraved the
coat-of-arras of Edinburgh. The second
trowel is a smaller one of silver with an
Ivorv handle, w ith the following engraved
worcis:
Presented by tho Library Committee to
Jlrs. Carnegie on the occasion of her laying
the memorial stone of the Carnesie Free
Library, the srirt of her son, Andrew Cai
negic. E-q.. to his native city of Dunferm
line. 27th July, 1SSL
The third trowel is also of silver and very
dainty in its make. It was used May SO,
1893, by Mrs. Carnegie at the laying of the
corner stone ot the new Music Hall, the
rift ot her husband to the city ot New
York.
Treedom of th City or Kdlnbargh.
Another object of interest is the small
oak and silver casket in which the freedom
of the city of Edinburgh was presented to
Mr. CarncVie on the occasion ot his gift to
that city of $250,000 to found a library. A
silver plate upon the casket bears the in
scription: This box I made of oak from the house of
Fir Thon-a Hope, King's Advocate of Scot
land, 1KG 46, w ho ah.y upheld the cause of
civil and lelijjious liberty in Covenant
times.
l'icsented by the corporation of Edinburgh
along with tiie Burgess ticket conteiring
the tieedom o! thecity on Andrew C.irnegie,
E-q., I. S. A., Stli Jul;-, 1S37.
Surrounding the casket are silver thistles.
The vides are inlaid with representations,
also in s-ilver, one of the site of the library
iind the other tlie library as it appeared
when completed, with silver lions and uni
corns in relief at each corner. The box is
about 12 inches long by C inches wide. An
other casket ot silver gilt was given to Mr.
Carnesie by the citizens of Dunfermline
containing the ticket conferring the free
dom ot the town with the inscription:
To Andrew Carnegie. Enquire, a distin
guished citizen ot tlie United States, a man
of tho widest sympathy with every move
ment. The workingmen of Edinburjh in 1887
gave him an address whicli is still preserved
iuthesiher tube in which it was pre
sented. The Instrument Mr. Carnesie Plays.
Mr. Carnegie is devoted to music, and an
cspcinlly interesting object in his library
is the one instrument that he plays a unique
affair which is called "musical tubes." It
consists of eight tubes in all, of sraduatcd
lengths, hung lrum a rather high brass
frame. Tlie performer makes music by
hammering the tubes with a little mallet.
The tunes nluch Mr. Carnesie plays most
frequently are old Scotch airs "Ye Bonnie
Banks and Braes." "Annie Laurie," "Robin
Adair," ''The Blue Bells of Scotland" aud
"Auld Lang Svue." Through the title of
one bit of music, "God Save the Queen,"
Mr. Carnegie had drawn his pencil and
written above, "My Cour.trv 'Tis of Thee."
There is another curious musical instru
ment in the room Japanese bells; throe
hollow globes of metal suspended Irom a
dragon-like arrancement These bells arc
also played by means of a little felt-covered
mallet.
Standing cuard over this musical corner
are bronze busts of "Wagner and Beethoven,
v.v. .On
Mllilllll
and a photograph of Mr. Carnegie's great
triend, Walter Damrosch. The photograph
has a wide fntme, upon which Mr. Damrosch
has written in pencil the notes of the pretty
air from the "Bohemian Girl," "Then
You'll Remember Me."
The librarv table fs somewhat mammoth
in its proportions, and is piled high withJ
l!l ! 1! ... I...... ..n.3 ..Awe
iiirimy luipeuiiueuia muiuiuca uuu ico-
papers at the right, magazines aud news
papers at the left, with many new books; a
paper weisht of Scotch marble, a silver
stamp box. a huge, magnifying glass with a
silver rim these are a few of the furnish
ings of the table.
tVhnt the Owner Has Written.
Mr. Carnegie's own publications here find
a place, and pushed to one side are the
proof sheets of that much read essay, "The
Gospel of Wealth." Mr. Carnegie's "Tri
umphant Democracy" is bound in red
leather, with a crowu reversed directly be
neath the title. Mr. Carnegie has little re
spect, I tear, for crowns and that which ap
pertained to royalty.
An office at th'e right of the library is
devoted to the use of Mr. Carnegie's faith
ful secretary. At the left there is a charm
ing little room, which is more alcove or
recess than room, and is divided from the
main room by an archwav hung with cur
tains. Here are two writing desks, one a
dainty affair, fit only for feminine corres
pondence. The initials "L. W C." in
silver across the top tell us that it belongs
to the mistress of the establishment. The
other desk is a large one. Over it hangs a
very clever pencil sketch of Mrs. Carnegie,
drawn last summer, when they were abroad.
Mrs. Carnegie, by the way, is something of
an artist herself; she is also a very good
amateur photographer.and always takes her
camera with her on her trips.
An interesting photoiraph in this pretty
room is one ot Mr. Gladstone. The por
trait is woven in silk,with the English rose,
Scotch thistle and Irish shamrock inter
woven about the margin. Photographs of
the guests who have formed the party upon
the various coaching trips are hung upon
the wall. The party which journeyed irom
Charing Cross to Ilfracombs in 1884, and
which has been so charmingly described by
a member of the party, John L Champlin,
Jr., included amonc the number Mr. and
Mrs. Matthew Arnold and the Misses Ar
nold, William Black, Edwin A. Abbey,
William Digby and Mr. and Mrs. Thomas
Graham. In 1881 the coaching tour was from
Brighton to Inverness, and took up about
two weeks. Mr. Carnegie's mother accom
panied fhe party, and sat with her son on
the box. The photograph showi a very
plain, sturdy-looking woman, apparently
endowed with sterling qualities.
Tha Duties of Ilia Secretary.
Mr. Carnegie's private secretary is Mr.
P. W, Finnegan. When Mr. Carnegie goes
abroad his secretary accompanies him.
When in New York the secretary arrives at
Mr. Carnegie's at 9 o'clock every morning,
at which hour Mr. Carnegie has finished his
breakfast The secretary opens the mail
and lays it before his chief. About 10
o'clock Mr. Carnegie has finished with his
letters and calls his secretary in from the
adjoining room and the day s workis begun.
He dictates for half an hour, an hour, or
may be two hours, according to the amount
of correspondence. When Mr. Carnegie is
preparing an article for the magazines he
often spends the entire day in his library,
stopping only for luncheon.
One duty devolving upon the secretary,
and that by no means a light one, is sorting
the wheat from the chafl in the
correspondence. There are many beg
ging letters and letters asking sub
scriptions for this and that. Occa
sionally these cases are investigated aud
those of a deserving nature are referred to
Mrs. Carnegie's charity list.
A word about the drawing rooms in this
beautiful house. There are two and they
occupy the first floor, with a spacious din
ing room back of them. The drawing rooms
are hung in pink brocaded silk. The ceil
ings are blue with garlands of flowers and
butterflies. The chandeliers are of cut glass
and the sconces, of which there are a half
dozen or more, are of onyx and gold. The
hard wood floor is very nearly covyed with
beautiful rugs. The mantel is of onyx and
gold with tiles of onyx. There is a grand
piauo in one room; a pretty inlaid cabinet is
a very treasure-trove ot curios gathered
here and there in different lands. Between
the front windows is a superb Dresden vase'
of mammoth proportions. An attractive
book lying npon one of the tables is Gail
Hamilton's "First Love is Best," which is
bound in the clan Carnegie plaid.

The Reasons That So Many People
Die of Consumption Which Kills
About -Nine Out of Ten
Who Die of Disease.
Two-Thirds of the Deaths From Lung
Trouble Might Be Avoided If the
"Catarrhal Conditions Which Tend
to It Were Treated and Cured
'Heed the Warning Signs.
Hardly a day passes in which Drs.Copeland
Hall and Bycrs are not brought in contact
i ith one, two, three or more cases in the last
stages of consumption, and many of them so
affected with the diseaso that they are be
yond relief, much less cure.
The history of the majority of these cases
is somewhat as follows: Somo say that at
sometlmo or another they had measles,
which induced bronchial troublo and per
sistent cough. Others say that at one'
time or another they contracted coldi
followed by couh atfd expectora
tion, better in summer, worse In
winter, attended by a gradual loss of flesh
and strength. Others give a history of la
grippe, ad say that since tho disease they
have been subject to coughs and rising of
mattery phlegm, shortness of breath, grad
ual loss of flesh and of strength, and occa
sional night sweats. Others again are un
able to assign any causo for thplr ill
health, ays their Urst symptoms were a
slight cough, generally dry and hacking,
followed by the raising of a thin mucus,
which in time became opaque and streaked
with blood, at times wandeung palnsln the
upper poition'of the chest and 'between the
shoulders, dislike of fatty food, dj-speptic
symptom?, gradual decline In noMi and
strength. They toll us that tho ramily doc
tor in attendance assured them it was only
a little cold or Inonehial trouble, or dyspep
sia, or general debility, from whloli they
would In time recover.
When recovery or even improvement in
these caes failed to show itself and the
patlont had lo3t nearly u third In weight,
became pale and debilitated, the chest had
lost either its power ot expansion or con
traction, the collar bone, ribe and bones of
the shoulder joint became prominent, the
night sweats profuse and weakening, the
stomach symptoms dlstressing.the cough per
sistent and harassing, the mucus purulent,
the voico husky, the linger clubbed and the
mind abnormally hopeful, the family and
.riends realize the situation, the true natnre
of the disease, call in another doctor experi
enced in chest troubles, who pronunces
it an unmistakable case of consump
tion. He assures the family that in
that stage cure is hopeless, and advises
them to resign themselves to the inevitable.
The foregoing statement fairly represents
the history and decline of the average con
sumptive. It is needless to say that if the
true nature of the case were in time cor
rectly diagnosed, and accordingly treated,
the last and hopeless stage of the disease
would not have been leached.
In view of our advanced knowledge of the
different Torms of consumption and of tho
several changes that tdko place in the lungs
with the different stage of each form, and
of the inventions and discoveries made to
arrest the progress of these changes, thore is
no excuse for permitting this class of
patients to pass into u hopeless decline.
CONSIDERS IT A DDTT.
That Is Why Miss Sarah Irwin Gives Testi
mony as to ths Success of Drs. Copeland,
Hall and Dyers.
"I never expected to see my name and
picture in the paper," says Miss Sarah Irwin ,
who resides at Mansfield, one of tlie many
lovely suburbs of Pittsburg, on the lino of
the Panhandle Railroad, "butDrs. Copeland,
Hall and Byers' treatment of my case of
catarrh was so thorough and scientific, I
think it my duty to testify to their
ability and gentle and courteous treat
ment. Like a great many others
I was skeptical, and had but little
confidence ut first, but their manner
Miss Sarah Irwin, Mansfield, Pa,
of receiving patients, and mode of consulta
tion and examination immediately put me
at my ease and inspired confidence in their
skill.
"My trouble was principally of a local na
ture confined to the nose and throat, post
nasal and pharyngeal catarrh, I was in
formed, and I was congratulated on having
consulted them before it hud extended to
the lungs and stomach, causing thereby
constitutional symptom. I had pains over
the forehead and through temples, a clog
ging up of the nostrils, with dropping of
mucus into the throat, which kept me hawk
ing and spitting to expel, a raw and irri
tated condition of the threat, with all the
head symptoms we usually read of as ac
companying this affection. Now 1 am happy
to say that I am Deed of all these annoying
and distressing symptoms and I cheerfully
recommend Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers'
treatment to all my friends and the public."
The Proper Season.
The time for you to take treatment for
any catarrhal difficulty Is now.
Now you may obtain a result In two or
three months that you might not obtain in
nine months by a treatment continued
through the seveie weather of trying win
ters. Climatic conditions favorable for a com
plete and absolute cure aie now present.
Time and time again we have advised
patients in desperate stages of catarrh to
watt until' the spring and summer before
taking treatment. Time and again we have
urged the necessity of "taking regular and
systematic treatment and obtaining relief
while tho favorable temperature and
weather lender such a result possible aud
comparatively easy.
In presenting this matter to sensible
thinking men and women we cannot speak
too strongly.
This is without doubt the proper time to
place yourself under treatment and obtain
a cure.
We know positively that year after year,
as winter conies on, and colds and sore
throats bring on as aggravated condition of
jour malady, you begin to tear pneumonia
and consumption, and hurriedly place your
sell under medical treatment. You struggle
through the seveie winter storms and trying
weather of the winter continually under u
doctoi's care continually grumbling about
doctor's bills.
Theii, when summer comes on and your
trouble grows less aggravated you straight
way neglect it completely and enjoy such
comiort as your condition will permit,
You giumble over the doctors bills
you
had to pay during the winter.
ot course you uoi
You blame the doctor for not having en
tirely cured you.
Of course you do.
You never stop to think for a moment of
the lact that beyond all preadventuie, he
has not been more than fortunate in keep
ing you alive to enjoy the spilng once more.
You never stop to think how you have
made him woik during the long, dreary
months under conditions most difficult and
discouraging to him.
No! Now that the spring is here, with Its
sunshine upon you, and the disease does not
cause you serious trouble, you immediately
neglect yoursclt utterly and wait for another
winter to come with its same old round of
colds, sore throats, aggravated catarrh,
wearisome and discouraging tieatment and
unsatisfactory results.
Now, be lairl Be reasonable! Be sensible!
One month's treatment now is worth three
months in winter. Two or thiee months
now will in all probability completely cure
your trouble, make you sound aud well and
leave you in suoh a condition that when
next winter does come no treatment will be
necessary; the doptor's bills will not be an
olt-recurring Incident; grip, pneumonia.
Consumption and similar Ilia will have no

will enjoy that greatest of all blessings ever

They are are not Irom parties in unknown
or ooscure places. They are from your
neighbors and can bo easily verified and

HEADACHE FOK EIGnT TE4KS.
The Case of. Mr. Conrad Sanders, a Steel
Worker of Jones and Laughllns' Mills,
ltrjldlng at 2716 Shelly Street, South
side. "I suffered from catarrhal headache for
eight years," says Mr. Sanders, "but recent
ly it grew so serious I could not endure it
longer. At times I, was entirely unfit for
work. No one who does not understand the
ravages that tin disease can make on the
system can appreciate how thorongnly
broken down and miserable I was. Under
D.s. Copeland, Hall and Byers' treatment,
my head Is clear and I feel like another
man. I didn't know that medicine could
work such a chano in a person. I am more
than pleased with the ie9ult."
SPIT DP BLOOD,
"Which Led Mr. S. C. Tetlry to Think He
Had Nailer's Consumption His Treat
ment and Cure by Drs. Copeland, Hall
and Dyers.
"It is twelve years since I tint became
troubled," says Mr. Tetley, a machinist em
ployed at Lewi foundty and Machine Com
pany, comer Soutli Tenth and Bingham
streets, Southside, and who resides on
William street. Thirtieth ward. "At that
time I wai working in tho nitil department
where there was considerable dut, which
wn so irritating that It would causo severo
pain in my eyes, nose, tin oat, and lung. I
hud violent headaches, dry and sole tin oat,
severo stomach tiouble, pains through chest
to shoulder blade, lost flesh rapidly, etc.,
etc., etc. Several times I spit up blood, and
I thought I had what we nailers called
Xailer's Consumption. I became alarmed
about myself, and consulted Drs. Copeland,
Hall and Byers, and can say to-day that I
am a well man. 1 cheerfully bear witness to
their skillful and kindly treatment."
ALMOST CRAZED BY FAIN
Was Mr. Fred Lyons, an Employe of the
Weitlnghouse Machine Company.
"I am glad to make a public statement of
my eve." says Mr. Lyons, "Drs. Copeland,
Hall and Byers have accomplished so much
for me. I suffered severe neuralgic pains,
through my head that almostdrove me wild.
I also had pains in my chest sharp, shoot
ing pains like the stab of a knife. I would
have pums In my back and under my shoulder-blades.
I would also have distressing
fiains after eating. Under Drs. Copeland,

tressing pains have left me and I feel like a
new person."
A KEGLECIED COLD

catarrh," says Mr. Uinkel. "i'or the first
two months I did not improve, but the third
month was better, and alter that I impi ovod
rapidly, until now I am cured, and I can't
give them too much praise. My trouble be

SPENT S130 AND ONE TEXK'S TIME
With Doctors Without Avail Six Weeks'
Treatment and an Expenditure of SIO
With Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byer
Brines Grsat Results.
A well-known business man was heard to
make the following remark In Drs. Cope
land, Hall and Byers' Reception Parlors
this week: "I tell you the good that these
doctors are accomplishing in this neighbor
hood in the treatment of all chronic cases
surpasses anything I ever heard of. In my
own case I have doctored for over a year
and,spent $130 without, the least benefit. I
have just been under treatment here six
w eeks and paid $10, and am feeling almost as
well as I ever did in my life. I know of one
largo establishment In the city where five of
the workmen wore cured of long standing
troubles by Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers."
A HEATER'S STORY.
For Seventeen Years He Never Experienced
the Enj oyment Derived From Breathing
Through His Nostrils.
Mr. John G. McDonald, a heater at Clark's
Solar Iron Works, and who rosMes at No.
109 Forty-font th street, says: "For seven
teen long years I never knew what it was to
draw a breath of air through either nostril,
although I had consulted many doctors and
paid enormous doctor bills. No doctor could
tell me what atlod me until 1 consulted Drs.
Copeland, Hall and Byers. After a thorough
examination they intormed me that my

"I had suffered so many years, and had ap

that I donbttfd their diagnosis, until they
removed from mv nostrils 13 little tumors,
atter which I could breathe as well as any

A grand bargain festival

good things offered. We
have neither time, space nor
inclination to indulge in
glfttering generalities re

every article advertised is
exactly as represented and
quality guaranteed. Our name is a synonym for fair dealing
and we are extremely jealous of the enviable reputation which
has been acquired by years of honest effort.
FIRST ABOUT FLOWERS.
The popularity of flowers this season is so well known
that comment is unnecessary. Wehave just bought at a great
sacrifice the entire stock of one of the largest importers in the
country and now offer the same at prices unheard of in the
history of the millinery trade. It has never before been our
fortune to make such a favorable and timely deal. Think of
this grand floral offering to the public just the week previous
to Decoration Day. Ten thousand (10,000) sprays of finest
flowers are laid before you divided into lots at four prices:
25o, 38c3 50c a:o.a. 75c.
Their real value (and you would willingly give it) is $1 a
spray more than we ask. Shrewd customers will natura'ly
buy largely and buy early in the week. We are anxious that
every patron of the house should share in this great floral
sacrifice and earnestly request them to lose no time in making
their selections.

The refining influences of shopping beautifully and wonderfully illus
trated, demonstrated and evidenced in these bright, busy stores just now, the
four quarters of the globe being continually and most successfully ransacked for
useful, ornamental and novel merchandise, goods many of them a few years ago
that only found their way into the homes of the Four Hundred. Perseverance,
some wisdom monger has said, overcomes many difficulties, and we believe
he's right, for, years ago, when we started to work at this Herculean task
breaking down high prices we thought there were mountains to move which
were simply immovable. Still, in spite of all opposition, derision and
barriers, we persevered and still persevered, until at last our efforts were
crowned with triumphant success. Now we're enabled to put to every day
family use goods, also pretty and ornamental nicknacks, that go a great way
in making a home cheerful looking and happy. Most of these latter and
many of the former were called luxuries a dozen of years ago. Now, by our
untiring perseverance, we've made them almost necessities, as the peculiarly
low prices we sell at make them obtainable by the most economical, humble
citizen.
If, to Start in f i, Let's Mb a lit, GoiliM
Notwithstanding the backwardness of the season, and the immense rain
fall of last week, our enchanting and enticingly beautiful Millinery SaIon3
were more crowded than ever before with overjoyed buyers. To such an ex
tent was this the case that it has kept our army of peerless, inimitable United
States milliners working hard both night and day in order to keep abreast of
the demand. These wonderfully grand results have been achieved in face of
all those petty, jealous, aggressive and bombastic, yet, withal, frothy and
harmless speeches, which you've been listening to for a couple of weeks or so.
On the field of battle no good General allows broken ranks. So soon as
one man falls then another steps forward to take his place, thus allowing the
enemy no advantage of breaking through the gaps. Even so it is in our
Millinery Department, although such an enormous business has been done
and many gaps made, still, they were all anticipated and provided for, with
our resident buyer in New York, and the electric wires kept constantly click,
click, clicking, we have been in a position to fill up all gaps just as soon a3
they were made. We've also added to our workroom staff an auxiliary corps
of efficient milliners. So keep coming in your multitudes. We're always
ready for more, our long and mellowed experience making us equal to all
emergencies. From 500 to 1,000 ladies' and misses' beautifully, artistically,
stylishly and fashionably Trimmed Hats always on hand every morning.

millinery, they're here in a prodigality of abundance. And, by the way,
we'd almost forgot it, but this is what rattles and bothers the other fellows
