IIow would you give $300,000,000 away? became such a popular query that an English advertiser who employed It, received no less than 45,000 suggestions as to how Carnegie could rid himself of his wealth. Twelve thousand persons solved the problem In part by asking for some of the money for themselves.

The answers which Carnegie himself gave and backed up with his millions have made him the most original if not the greatest of philanthropists. Before he sailed for Scotland In 1901 he left letters announcing gifts of $9,000,000. His first big gift was the setting aside of $4,000,000 to supply pensions and relief for the Injured and aged employees of his steel plants "an acknowledgment of the deep debt which I owe to the workmen who have contributed so greatly to my success. He added an extra million for the support of libraries for his workmen, and took up his library hobby In a wholesale way by giving $5,200,000 to New York City for the erection of sixty-five branch libraries in the metropolis. Another million he gave for a library In St Louis.

I have just begun to give money away, he said In enouneement of these gifts. He kept it up as fast as he could with disrrlminatlon. On libraries alone he spent upwards of $53,000,000. He gave them to some two. thousand English-speaking communities throughout the world.

yars, died early Sunday morning following a long period of Illness. He had not been In active practice for several years past. The funeral arrangements were not complete' Sun-day evening, but It was expected burial would be Monday wprpln, LENOX, Aug. 11. Andrew Carnegie, steel magnate and philanthropist, died at his Lenox summer home, Shadow Brook, at 7:10 this morning after an illness of less than three days with bronchial pneumonia.

So sudden was his death that his daughter, Mrs. Roswell Miller, was unable to get to her fathers bedside before he died. Ills vife and private secretary were with him at the end. Mr. Carnegie had spent most of the summer at Lenox, coming late In May, and up to a few weeks ago enjoyed himself In flaning trips on Lake Mahkeemac, which borders his big "Shadow Brook estate, and in riding about his grounds.

He was taken 111 Friday and grew steadily worse. His advanced age and lessened powers of resistance hastened the end. Mr. Carnegie leaves his widow, who was Miss Louise Whitefield of New York, and his daughter, Margaret, who was married last April to Ensign Rowell Miller, of New York. Andrew Carnegie began a race against time when, in 1901, at the age of sixty-five, ho resolved to give away his enormous fortune.

He held it disgraceful for a man to keep on gathering Idle millions. In the comparatively few years which the actuary could allow him, he would disembarrass himself of practically all he had. No mdu had ever launched a philanthropic campaign of such dimensions. His was then a fortune of just about a quarter billion dollars, the largest ever acquired by a foreign-born American, second only to the John D. Rockefeller wealth as the largest individual accumulation In the United States, mid.

built, as It was, of five per cen-. steel bonds, It would, without so much as turning over one's hand, have approached half a billion by the time Carnegie could call hlipself an octogenarian on November 25, 1915. To give this stupendous sum away, in about hall the time he had taken to gather it, was a purpose Carnegie had fairly well fulfilled when death overtook him today. He had dlstrib-uted about $300,000,000. It was giving money away, at the rate -of over $20,000,000 a year, or mere than $50,000 a He when he gave up gathering wealth and announced an.
