FAME AND FORTUNE FOR GRADUATES Fcslli Kriiuell y, Krusle, Martin, Joliimou mill .Scores of Others Trillin-)! uml 1iiNilrril "' the Hlectrleul Genlu. Thomas A. Edition lias Invontcd many great men. Soma of thotio havo become uclenUats, Hko Kennelly; some have lie como Inventors, HUo Tesla; some have be come well kuown business men, like Samuel Insull; others have become engineers, llko Liloutenant Spraguo; many navo uocomo millionaires. This will surprlso many per sona who havo looked upon Mr. Edison as a mere Inventor ot mechanism, yot It Is a fact that more than twenty men who havo received training under him havo gouo forA from his laboratory and havo become not d men In tho world. In fact, It has al ncMt passed luto an axlon that Intimate nssoclatlon with Thomas A. Edlsou means ultlmato success nntl fortuno for any man. One who has been with tho Inventor for many years, who has watchod these mon como In as pupils nnd go out Bplendldly equipped for the battlo of life, was asked to tell who thoy aro and tho process of their Instruction. "It Is a fact," ho replied, "that many of tho men who have worked here with Mr. Edison havo become- prominent In many ways. It has been set down to coincidence and to tho opportunities thoy have had for forming powerful friendships while In the laboratory, but thero Ib nnother and raoro potent reason for their success. It Is the result of contact with Edison. Ho seems able, out of raw matortal and by tho power of oxample, to creato a working force In a man equal ulmost to that in himself. In tho first place, ho would never have a man around unlcm ho woro quick to learn and to execute Ho cannot endure a stupid man and ho Is vory frank to toll a man that he is stupid and to clear him out. Tho result Is that tho men who havo gotten along with htm all had good natural ca pacity. It was a survival of the Attest. All men thrown with him find him democratlo and willing to listen to any suggestion they may mako to him. Ho always had the effoct of making his men work hard by giv ing them a first-class oxample. Ho taught thero that If an experiment failed It should bo regarded only as an Incentive to make more experiments. That Is the lesson a man learns from Edison never to give up. In fact, any man with reasonable ability will havo his faculties quickened by contact with Edison. The laboratory Is llko a uni versity and ho Is' Its actlvo president. At any rate, no ordinary university has turned out a greater procentago of great mon than this laboratory. See how tho list swells. First of lii (irniip. "Tesla stands first among Edison gradu- utes lu point of fame. Ho came to tho works a moro youth, with little knowledge ot practical electricity. He entered tho testing laboratory and learned how to ex periment. Of course, his natural capacity pushed him on, but at that time he said to me that succeeding under Mr. Edison was not tho result of what ono learnB from the Inventor so much ns it was absorbing tho spirit with which Edison works. Undoubt edly Tesla received his greatest impotus from and owes his prcsont achievements to what ho learned from Edison. "Among the men who havo made a mark In the electrical world Is A. E. Kennelly. Ho has been president of the Institute of Electrical Engineers. Mr. Kennelly wns with Mr. Edison as mathematician and Is supposed to bo ono of tho best in tho world. He is tho only man In America who Is ablo to Interpret sorao of the very intricate sys tems of mathomatlcfl which havo been evolved by that great EnglUh electrician, Oliver Heavysldes. "All of Mr. EdUon's early partners be. came woll known In the world and wealthy. They woro Charles Datchclor, John Krusle, E. H. Johnson and S. B. Ilergman. Mr. Ed ison has often said that Davchelor was the cleverest man with his hands that bo had ever. known. He was the most patlont man I ever saw. He put tho first filament Into tho Incandescent lamp. Tho filaments as first mado were exceedingly tender and were to bo clamped In. As they were of almost microscopic size, It was an under taking which seamed almost Impossible. I havo seen him work for hours and then break tho filament. Then ho would go on, start again nnd make another one, until he mado a perfect one. He was noted for his patience. Wo uied to nickname him 'Edi son's hands.' He built eleven different fac tories for Mr. Edison and hu managed all of tho European works for years. He mado a largo amount of money beforo ho retired from an nctlvo career. "John Krusle, who died not long ago, was superintendent for Mr. Edison, If that term may be used, for many years In bis laboratory. He was an exceedingly clever man and a thoroughly good mechanic. Tho underground system In Now York City for tho distribution of electric light was first Installed by John Kruslo. I havo thought that Mr. Kruslo ruined his health by build ing tho underground systems In the daytlmo and putting them under the pavement all night. Ho was noted tho world over for bis mechanical ability. An Klci-trleal Promoter, "E. II. Johnson was with Mr. Edison in the telegraph and telephone days, nnd then when tho electric light was developed. Ho was noted for his ability to talk on any subject for any length of time. Ho was probably tho finest promoter In the United 8tates. Ho first took the electric light to England and placed It thero for Mr. Edison. Ho Is another 'rich' mnn. "S. n. Bergman was one of Mr. Edison's workmen and when Mr. Edison left Newark ho took Mr. Edison's place thero. At that tlrao he nttended to tho manufacturing end. Since he has becomo the largest manufac turer of eloctrlo apparatus In tho United States nnd now ownB very largo works In Germany. He Is generally supposed to be a millionaire. "Theso were four early men. While In England ono of thero, Mr. Johnson, 'dis covered' Samuel Insull, who became the head of tho Chicago lighting Industry and until recently was president of tho National Electric Light association. Ho Is very wealthy nnd Is a terrific worker. Mr. Edi son onco Jokingly remarked of him that If ho ran tho New York Central railroad, tho Pennsylvania railroad, tho Standard Oil company and a few other affairs ho would still bo grasping a few moro things to run, and, If given time, ho would be pretty sure to run tho world. "Frank J, Bprague came to Mr. Edtaon from tho navy. Ho has boon president of tho Society of Electrical Englneors and is known tho world over ns tho Inventor of the Spraguo eloctrlo system. Mr. Sprnguo spent many years at Richmond, Va., where tho first electric railway In tho United Stntes wns Installed by him. Ho took part In tho recent war with Spain. Ho Is also wealthy. "Frank MacGowen, who becamo noted as an explorer, was sent by Mr. Edleon to South America for bamboo. Ho mado a Journey across South America, and wns tho first white man to cross from tho source of tho Andes to tho west const of South Amer ica. If Mr. MacGowen had been n fluent writer his wealth nnd fame would have been equal to that of the great explorer Stanley and others. Mr. Macpowcn had plenty of pluck, but he died from tho ef fects of his exposure on this Journey. The Now York Sun called him 'the equal of Stanley In conquering new territory.' Took 'I'lioum to Kuropr. "Tho man who solved many ventilating problems In sky-scrapers, tunnels and sub collars got his early training from Edison. He Is young Seymour, the son of Mayor Seymour of Nowark. He first took tho tel ephone to Europe for tho company. He got a Now York papor out of a ventilating scrnpo In early days and so got his start. In the sub-collar where the presses aro run tho heat was so great that It almost melted the lead of the forms, The mon could not stand It. Hut Seymour mado tho place habitable. "Luther Stlerlngor Is another man of mark who got his tuition. In Mcnlo I'ark. Tor years he has been recognized as an authority on tho distribution of light. He laid out tho lighting of tho Omaha exposi tion and a medal was awarded him for this work. Ho also devised the schemo for lighting of tho grand court at tho World's fair. I heard that ho had onco n sort or roving commission to Investigate anything of Interest on any subject for Mr. Edison, nnd. ns ho snld. mado It a practice to open all doors which had tho sign 'No Admit tance' upon them. There Arr Othem. "Editors anil lawyers have neon educated by EdUon. Thomas Commerford Martin, editor of tho Electrical World, was onco In tho laboratory! n. N. Dyer, who Is a well known patent attorney, raino to ErtUon as a boy and shows the effect of hla training In his succefcs. So you might continue through all trades and professions. W. K. L. Dickson, who blographed tho pope, learned his trade In working on the klnoto scope. Achciion, who Is a power at Niagara Kails nnd who Invented carborundum, was here at the same time. II. Ward Leonard, who Inventod moving turrets for warships by electricity, got bis early training from Edison. Philip Scubel, who Installed the first electric plant ever put on a steamship (It was the old steamer Oregon), worked for Edison. So did Dr. 8. S. Wheeler, tho woll known electrician, and C. J. Field, who has got rich Installing street railways, and August Weber, who mado a fortuno In porcelain. Then thoro aro a number of men who have remained Indirectly connected with the Edison Interests. Hut nil of the names mentioned are of men who aro In charge of Interests of vast Importance. Il luminating company Interests alone repre sent Investments of ovor $73,000,000, the mn in rhnrun nf which I have mentioned, ThoBo mentioned In Industries and mechan ical Interests aro at tho head of enterprises representing Investments of $20,000,000. Outside Interests would probably be $10,- 000,000. You see, Edison has been some thing moro thnn a mere Inventive power in the world. "Thore are many mon now who have pre ferred to remain with Mr. Edison, as long o certain problems aro bolng worked out, who otherwise might havo gono out Into the world full of tho knowledge ho had im parted to them to the end of becoming rich nnd famous llko their early associates, Thoro aro also many young mon working horo now who In course of time will grad uate and go forth to conquer tho world. It Is like a college hero In that respect, and wo could form an alumnao socloty that In point of Influence would stand well with any other society of Its kind. Ilut after oil tho point I maintain Is that all this suc cess, prominence and good fortune which han como to theso men could nover havo como to them (no generally at least) had It not been Inspired by Mr, EdUon. In this respect he stands as a mentor of all trades and professions."
