In view of tho apparent' rivalry between be-tween Cnrnogio and Rockefeller in giving giv-ing :iwa3r big wads of mono3 it will doubtless interest feadora of The Trib-uno Trib-uno lo see a list of their donations heretofore here-tofore made. The Now York Tribune has boon nt the pains to compile such a list, and we cop3- it herewith: The gifts made by Mr. Carnegie, the original stripper of wealth, who gavo out tho opinion that it is a disgrace for a man to dio rich, aro scheduled ns 'follows: 'fol-lows: ' Carnegie Komulat ion $ir..000.000 Known library gifts In U.

But then it must be rcmombcrcd that in presenting the bill for tho incorporation of the Rockefeller Foundation, Senator Gallinger said that, whilo he was not authorized lo speak for Mr. Rockefeller, "there is no doubt that ho intended to give amiy his 11101103' on a scale greater than any other man," an ovidont challenge chal-lenge to Mr. Carnegie. Tho Tribune also gives the following list of gifts by Mrs. Russell Sago, one of "throe great benefactors:" Russoll Sage Foundation $ 10,000,000 Emma Wlllurd School.

Vandcrbilt, Stanford, and other rich and benevolent men. It is a magnificent ago for gifts and endowments, sure enough. |
