NOTED STEEL MAGNATE DEAD

Andrew Carnegie Dies of Pneumonia at Age of S 4. Lenox, Mass., August 1J. —In his great mansion overlooking a lake in the beautiful Berkshire hills, where he sought seclusion when bodily infirmity overtook him, Andrew Carnegie, iron master and philanthropist, died today. < Although he had been in feeble health for more than two years, his final illness was brief —a matter of days. A severe cold developed quickly into -bronchial pneumonia, the aged patient lapsed into unconsciousness and the end came as though it were but the beginning of a deeper sleep. Mr. Carnegie came to America from Scotland a poor boy in 1848, and up to the time of his death he had given away over $350,000,000.
