O c tober 22—Andrew C a rn e g ie's recto rial ad d r e s s ion his rdln s tal- la t i o n as recto r of St. A n d rew ’s U n iversity to - d a y ) , consisted of a lengthy study of the co m p a r a tiv e grow th of nations in the p a th s of in d u s tr ial ascendancy, w ith a strik in g co m m e n tary on th e i r fu tu r e . In h is speech, w h ich w as rep lete w ith notable sta tistics and Im p o r tan t econom ic prophesies, perhaps the m o s t rem a rk a b le featu r e w*as an appeal to- E m p e ro r W illiam to use h i s influence tow a rd th e ev e n tual creatio n of the U n ited Stares.- of E u rope, u n d e r the form of a political and in d u s t r i a l union. In th is w ay aloUe. M r. C a rnegie declared, can E u rope conquer th e foreign m a r k e ts or rep e l th e A m erican invasion. F rance, G e rm a n y and R u s sia, w h ich had alread y taken j o i n t actio n ag a in s t Ja p a n , would suffice to in s u r e a sa tisfacto r y un ion in E u rope. “ T h e C r a r ,” he continued, “ h a v ing taken th e first step tow a rd the peace of the world In The H a g u e Conference, the o t h e r m ighty em p e r o r m ight som e day be im p ressed w ith th e th o u g h t th a t it is due to h im s e lf and to G e rm a n y to play a g r e a t p a r t upon the w’idei* sta g e of E u rope, as her d e liv e r e r from the incubus w h ich oppresses and w e a k e n s her. th e appalling, paraly z in g fear of w a r and of ru i n betw e e n m e m b e rs of her own body.” Air. C a rnegie, in the course of a glow ing trib u t e to E m p e ror W illiam , said he could n o t help believing th a t “one so suprem e ly g r e a t , ” could “influence the few m en w h o to - d a y co n tr o l E u rope to take th e first step , n o t to federate, b u t by an alliance to en su r e in t e r n a l peace, which is all th a t can be expected a t p r e s e n t .” Unless the pow e rs ag r e e d to som e thing of th e kind, all th e y could look forw a rd to was to “ revolve like fio m a n y L lllip u tio n s around this g ian t G u lli ver. th e A m e rican Union, soon to em b race tw o hundred m illions of th e E n g lish -sp e a k in g race and capable of supplying m o s t of th e w o r ld ’s w a n ts.” F o r the best essays on th is subject. Air. C a rnegie offered a rec t o r ’s prize. D e a ling w ith th e events which caused the in d u s t r i a l suprem a c y , “once yours, but now p a s s e d to your lin e a l de.scendant, who boars the in d u s t r i a l crow n .” Air. C a rnegie m a i n tain e d th a t it w a s a physical im p o s s ib ility for G r e a t B r itian to produce m a terial things riv a lin g in am o u n t those of co u n tr ies the size of A m e rica, G e rm a n y and R u s sia, n o r w ould a union of the em p ire change the situ a tio n , for “ n e ith e r C a n a d a n o r A u s tr a lia gave p r o m ise of m u c h in c r e a s e in po p u la tio n o r in d u s tr ialism .” A ll th o u g h t of m a te r i a l ascendency, even w ith the B r i t i s h E m p ir e united, m u s t th e r e f o r e be abandoned. Mr. C a rnegie spared h is Scotch audience no details. “ A m e rica,” he said, “now m a k e s m o re steel th a n all the re s t of the world. In iro n and coal h e r production is g r e a test, and it is also so in tc.xtile’s. She produces th r e e - q u a r t e r s of th e w o rld’s cotton. The value of h e r m a n u factures is ab o u t trip l e th a t of your own. H e r exports are g r e a ter and th e C learing House exchanges in Now Y o r k a r e alm o s t double those of L o n d o n .” G e rm a n y , th e speaker also said, now th r e a t e n e d to o u s t G reat B ritain from second place. F r a n c e w a s not likely to increase h e r tra d e m u ch fu r th e r . It was only thanks to th e fru g a lity and virtue of her people th a t she rem a ined am o n g the first class nations. H e em p h a s ized the a s s e r t i o n th a t the m o s t pow e rful weapon in conquering foreign m a r k e t s is a profitable home m a r k e t. “ Invasions of E u rope, esp e c ially of G r e a t B r itain , by A m e rican m a n u f a c tu r e r s a r e not to be ap p r e hended to any consideirablo ex ten t, except a t ra r e in t e r v a l s ,” because th e hom e m a r k e t in A m e rica took 96 per cent, of the m a n u factu r e d articles, hence h e r prosperity. “ F o r eign com m erce is a b r a g g a r t alw a y s in e v i dence a t ho-me. Commerce is the tru e k in g .” The w o rk accom p lished in A m erican com m e rce by “ the G erm an elem e n t can scarcoU’ be believed, except by those who, like m y self, know' It by e.xperienco.” The so b r iety and determ ination of the G e rm a n s form ed an exam p le for England, whose enorm o u s drink bill and m o n ey sp»*nt on tobacco they cut in ' h a lf , w'hllc the gam b ling of bo-ih m a s ters and m en w a s abolished. ”Tho groat secret of success In business and in m illionaire m a k iiig is to m a k e p a r tn e r s of valuable m a n a g e r s : of d e p a r tm e n ts.” Air. C a rnegie described as a dark cloud on 'E n g l a n d ’s horizon the fact th a t “ in tw e n ty to tw e n ty-five y e a r s the suppiv of Cleveland Iron stone w ill be practically exhausted. The C u m b e rland supply is alread y nearly e x h a u s ted . T h is will bring dearer iron and Bteel.” “ H o w e v e r.\ Mr. Carnegie added, “ even the U n ited S tates has only a proved supply of first class ore sufficient for sixty or seventy years. W ith the reserve of inferior grades It m ight la.st an o th e r th i r t y years. unle.-:.s th e ra t e of oonsurnpr.ion greatly increases.

Mingtdn iRniitea VERY CHEAP TICKETS TO CALIFORNIA Is it worth while to fight through the winter at home, when you can so easily go where the perfect climate will keep you strong and vigorous? If you can possibly, get away, and particularly if you are not in the best of health, why not plan to spend part, if not all, of the coming winter in California, away from the extreme cold and the miserable weather we are likely to have? Does the idea seem extravagant? “ Well, there is no reason in the world why you should not make the trip if you have the time, because the expense of going is really very little, and the cost of living in California is exceedingly moderate. We are g()ing to sell special tickets to California every day during October for a less price than ever before. Later on we will have other cheap rates. In our Pullman Tourist Sleeping Cars a berth which holds two persons comfortably, costs only $6 from Chicago or St. Louis to California. All the bedding, of the very nicest sort, entirely free. We can tell you about a lot of hotels and boarding-houses in California where j’ou can live nicely for from $7 to $15 per week. Don’t those figures rather surprise you? Is there really any reason why you should not spend a while in California, the land of sunshine, where the flowers bloom, and the fruit ripens, and the trees and grass are green, while here in the east people are suffering from the cold ? Surely it’s worth investigating—it won’t cost anything to do that. If you will cut out the coupon in this advertisement, fill it out and send it to E. J. Swords,' he will send you, ivithout charge, a beautifully illustrated ■ 72-page- book, telling you all about California in a most interesting way, and besides, a folder which explains about our Personally Con ducted Tourist Parties, and also a circular telling all about the prices of tickets.

I., O ctober 22—The first real discom fort r e s u ltin g from the coal fam ine is being experienced hero th is m o rning through a cold -wave which set in yesterday a f t e r noon, causing tho first heavy ^rost of the season and thin ice to be form ed in low places. Ho’jsch o ln e rs w h o se places have al- ■ways been thoroughly heated by m odern system s from well filled bins awoke in room s the tem p e r a tu re of which w as far below norm a l, and they w ere forced to dress -with ch a tterin g teeth and purple lips. Some, m o re fortunate than others, had wisely provided them s e lves w ith oil h e a ters and wood stoves for th e ir bedroom s, and thus escaped the inconveniences incident to th e scarcity of coal. A m a jo r ity , however, have been w a it ing in expectation of receiving a supply of coal any day, and are tem p o rarily rely in g on -wood for cooking purposes only. T h e re is considerable anxiety felt in charitable circles for the com fort of the poor, w h o w ill suffer m o st from the lack of coal, a s m a n y fam ilies live in older, lightly b u i l t houses, th a t are im p o ssible to heat w ith wood fuel. It Is im p o ssible for these fam i lies to obtain coal, and if the cold w a v e continues efforts will be m ade to locate and relieve so far as possible any cases of su f fering. ------------ - ------------ V C H R IST IA N W ORKERS TO M E E T .
