United States Steel Corpora tion five per cent, first mortgage bonds for filO.OOO.OOO have been transferred to a board of trustees and steps will be takcu at once to organise a corporation to re ceive the donation. Dr. Pritchett, president of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Mr. Vanderlip have been selected by Mr- Carnegie to obtain data on the subject to be presented at the first meeting of the board of trustees, which will take place on November 15. The bonds bave a par value of $10,000,000 and will produce an annual in come of $500,000. The corpora tion which is being formed will be staled "theCarnegie Pounda Mr. Vanderlip today sent a letter to the press, giving the foregoing information and in doling a letter from sir. Carne gie dated April 18, wbicli aaya in part: "I have reached the conclusion that the least rewarded of all the professions is that of the teacher in our higher educa tional institutions. New York City generally, and very wisely, provides retiring pensions for teachers in her public schools audalso for her policemen. Very few indeed of our colleges are able to do so. The consequences arc grievous. Able men hesitate to adopt teaching as a career and many old profeasors whose places should be occupied by younger men cannot be retired." Mr. Carnegie says that the fund will apply to universities, colleges and technical schools "without regard to race, sex, creed or color.0 but not to in stitutions supported by State or colonial governments. Another class excluded is sectarian in institutions. "Only such as arc under control of a sect, or re* auires trustees, or a majority thereof of officers, faculty or students, to belong to soy spec ified sect, or which impose anv theological test, are to be ex cluded?” Mr. Carnegie specifies the du ties of tbc trustees and concludes with the hope that "this fund may do much for the cause of higher education and to remove a source of deep and constant anxiety to the poorest paid and yet one of the highest of all pro fession*.” Among those named as trust ees are Presidents Kdwin B. Craighead, of Tulane, and Geo. H. Denny, of Washington and Lee. HEALTH Is the Most Important Ufa Bwnftcantn of Royal Baking Powder here had 4r yean of scientific experience.

After General Lee had been removed to the hospital this morning it was evident to the attending physicians that bis case was a vety serious one, hut they believed that the stroke would not prove fatal. • His condition remained fair, considering the severity of the attack during the day, but shortly alter fl o’clock lie be gan to grow weaker, his breath ing more rapid and his pulse lower, terminating in less than two hours in death. The end was peaceful and without pain, the .general remaining conscious until five urinates before be died. Half an hour before death General Lee recognised his brother.

Prior to the civil war, at the beginning of which he reaigued bis commission in the Uoited States army. General Lee saw considerable frontier duty in moving against the Iudiana. lie was an ex-cavalry officer. His services in the Confeder ate army as a major general are well known, and during the in terval between this war and bis active work in the Spanish American war. General Lee filled a number of Important positions, including governor .l:. ii.. _ o 1 tbe Pittsbnrg & Virginia Railroad, tbe collectorship of internal revenue for tbe Lynch burg district, and the consul generalship at Havana. Following his honorable dia* charge from the volunteer aruiy on March 2, 1901, General Lee was appointed to tbe regular army, with, the rank of brigadier general, and with this rank be was retired in the March follow ing. Barrawiot Cotton to Soil. Monro* Journal. Ever hear of one fanner bor rowing cotton from another to sell? That has occurred in this county. One farmer, wbo ix in the 100-hale class, has borrowed several lota from others who ex pected to bold till next fall, and put it on the market, agreeing to return bale foT hale next fall with a ten per cent, toll added as rent. The borrower evidently believes that the price will be lower next fall, and is thns prac tically marketing bis fall crop at present prices and paying tbe toll as interest on tnc money.

G. Lewis vouchsafed the in* formation that be bod figured out why the seasons had ap parently changed; that the dis covery was important enough to make one famous, and he was willing to divide honors with the Landmark if it would print the discovery. This was agreed on and then Mr. Lewis proceeded to tell it. It is well known that in divid ing the year It was found that there was a surplus of six bourn after apportioning 385 days, so it was decided to save this fourth of a day for four years and every four yesus give February an extra day. Well, says Mr. Lewis, this arrangement has gone on and that day has been added to February until the mouths are out of joint. The present month, called April, ac cording to Mr. Lewis, theory. Is really March and next month will be April. The windy weath er in April makes the Seasons •eem wrong, bat tba seasons are all right. It’s our couat that’s wrong and there will have to be a readjustment to fget the thiog in shape.

Everybody knows what Easter is fur, so I will not waste any pencil on that. Easter coaxes always on Sunday. That’s a good idea, ’cauac a feller has more time Sunday to eat big rations.

The first Easter was dis* j covered 1>y the heathen in the 16tb century; ther.it was insti-! luted iuto the Roman Catholic church as a spring festival and also as the anniversary of the resurrection of Christ. To save my life 1 can't see how the anniversary conld be in March and again in April. My birthday is an anniversary but it comes in the same mouth and on the same day of the month but bobs aroand different days of the week: The Roman Cath olics couldn't keep Easter all to themselves. The Protestants liked Easter eggs too well. They didn’t propose to stand back and let the egg trust get Easter and its emoluments in a tight squeeze. April is s good month for an niversities. All fools day comes first. Cood Friday comes on the 21st, Good Saturday on the 22nd, Easter Sunday on the 23rd and the primary convention on the 27th. ■Sensible things hens are? They know when Easter is a cornin’, they know how to make eggs cheap.

It develops that Belk baa friends oa the outside who wav attewot bis release if be remains on the ebaiugang, and in view of the fact that this contingency might call for extra guards, it is thought best to just send both to the penitentiary. Oaite a lares number tA n*a. ble went to the Garrison green last Tuesday afternoon to wit ness the annual inspection of the Jasper Light Infantry. There were fifty-three men in the company, and they made quite a creditable snowing. The inspection which was made by Col. E«ra ll. Puller, of the United States army, was strictly thorough. The coioacl went so far as to look into the butts of the rifles to find whether fltt' I rods, oil cans, etc., were there. Several of the men bad just been using these articles and had lefi them at the armory. They were required to ex plain. Tbe colonel asked several men their ages, and in each case it developed that the men were either above or coder the limit. One man wore a hat that was similar to but not iden tical with the regular headgear. 1 he colonel noted the fact in stantly.

While walking along Mein Street in YorkviUe, Mr. Sistar fell tbrongh an open trap door leading into the cellar of what was then the store of J. 1C. Starr & Co. Upon learning of Mr. Sister’s mishap, Mr. Starr and others offered snch relief as they could, and showed the injured man all the consider ation in their power. They of fered to send him to the depot in a conveyance; but this courtesy be declined, explain* mg that he felt able to make ms way without assistance. Shortly after the occurrence, *??• •rt’ote to Mr. Starr, alleging that he was seriously injured as the result of the fall, and demanded $500.
