During this month, the president of the college se cured from Mr. Andrew Carnegie the promise of $2.r..OOO to be paid when 75.000 was secured in cash or mar ketable securities. This increased our subscription list to $45,000. This (-amount was added to from time to time until in December last a total of $100,000 was reac hed. Since January we have been collecting In these ubscriptiens and we now have prac tically in hand $G1,000, which is about all we can collect out of our present ubscription list. When we secure 000 Mr. B. N. Duke will pay his subscription of $10,000 and Mr. Carne gie will give us $25,000, completing our fund of $100,000. It will lie seen from these figures that only $1,000 more Is necessary to secure for the college an endowment of $100,000.

In the folds of her shroud, the material evidence of the death secret of Mrs. i-ierre l.orillard, Jr., is sealed with her body, tonight on its final journey to the grave. The funeral party left the Lorillard residence at 5 o'clock this afternoon for New York. At the old home of the Lorillards, at Irvlngton-in-the-Hiid.son, the casket will be In terred tomorrow. The departure from the city fur nished another of the dramatic events .vh cli have characterized the death by uii'id.! of this prominent woman. At lie very hour when the first social dr ies of the capital, In which Mrs. Imt illarel had been accorded suc h a prom inent part, were crowding the arlsto- ratic .Massachusetts avenue, the body if the ch-ail woman was driven' rapidly town that thoroughfare toward the station. The? husband, one of the famous Lor illards of the tobacco business, and a prominent c lub man and sportsman, and his son, Pierre, by their own pref erence, were the only mourners. The funeral ceremonies had been conducted at 12:30 o'clock. A few of Mrs. Lorillard's most intimate friends, principally those who gathered with her the night of her death, at the din uer given by-MJsJtichard Townsend. were present, niong these were the Belgian minister and Baroness Mon- cheur, Mrs. Chauncey Depew, Mrs. Meyer, wife of the Secretary of the Navy, and the Honorable Maude Paun- cefote, daughter of the former British ambassador to this country. The Rev. Rolland Cotton Smith, of St. John's Episcopal Church, officiated at the ser vices, which occupied only half an hour. Shortly afterwards the most dramat ic event of the day occurred when Dr. I. Ramsey Nevltt, the coroner, laid nway in the folds of the shroud twt notes and the mysterious trinkets found on Mrs. txirillard's body after her death. 'Contrary to the general understanding, Mrs. Lorillard wrote neither of the notes after she returned from the Townsend dinner. It is now heieved that the only words she wroli 'in th lut-rulna of her death was on envelope that contained the notes an the trlnktts. They were: "Hurv thi with my lody .unopened." The ink with which these words were written had been freshly smeared over the face of the enevelope. 'its freshness was In marked contrast with the ink of the two notes. Another fact that has been brought out is that one of the notes was ad dressed to Mrs. Lorillard and In the handwriting of another person. The second note had been written b Mrs. Lorillard evidently many da..'- la tere her death. The note to Mrs. Lor illard is said to have been aeldressed to her fn an informal way. The trinkets consisted of a chain to which were attached some pendants of little intrinsic value, rem nding those who have beheld them of the high school days of girls. The envelope in which the noN;1", and trinkets were placed was not found until hours after the death when the undertaker was preparing the body for burial.
