New News ^ I Of Yesterday e/ £?cft£iczricr*S' Fortune Saved Union Pacific .3*_ John DufT of Boston Sent His Securi ties to New York Just in Time to Meet Payment on Land Grant Bends, One of the great causes of the finan cial panic of 1ST3 was the failure of the banking house of Jay Cooke & Co. througn having advanced too largely on the bonds of the Northern f at ific rai ircad. then in process of construction. Grate embarrassment w-s caused to many other railroad companies by the panic, and not the •easi embarrassed of these railroads was the Cmou Pacific, which, at that time, wag regarded in the railroad anc financial worlds as a Boston ia te.ution. since it was one of the great ralroad properties of the country which Boston capital controlled. r rom about 1SGG John iiuff of Bos ton who easily took rank with the great financiers who began immedi ately after the Civil war the work of developing the railroad systems of the country had been prominently identi fied w ith the Union Pacific. His was. in fact, a leading voice in the affairs k** company, and when it became c' dent. first to the officers of the company, and then to the public, that the l cion Pacific was not in a posi tion to meet the next payments on its land grant bonds Mr. Duff was greatly t onc*-r::ed. He had been so closely identified for seven years with the -nancia! management of the company that he felt that his business credit, his personal honor, and. to. some ex tent. his investments, were involved in maintaining the credit of the Union Pacific. But how was that credit to be main tamed, with money in hiding every where, and with the Union Pacific treasury without the necessary funds to meet the payments soon due? Not taken into account by the-folk who were confidently predicting a de fault by the Union Pacific was the grim determination of John Duff to protect his good name at all hazards; and so, the day before the coupons of the land grant bonds were due, Mr. Duff called into his office his son-in law, Dr. William H. Bullard, and counted out in the latter's presence a little over three hundred thousand dollars in first class securities, which. but a short time before. Mr. Dull him self had taken from his private strong box. "W iliiam.” said Mr. Duff, motioning to the securities. "1 want you to pack these bonds in a traveling satchel, take the first train for New York, and as early as possible tomorrow morning call at the office of Morton. Bliss £: Co., the railroad s fiscal agents, and offer them in my name as security for payment of the Union Pacific land grant coupons due tomorrow *' There followed seme detailed instructions, and Dr. Bullard was off for New- York. Presenting himseir at the banking house of Morton. Bliss & Co. on the morrow, a start while before the be ginning of the business day. Dr I .1 ; lard opened his satchel in the presence of Mr. Lewi P. Morton. "Mr. Morton." he said. "1 have he~e a little over three hundred thousand dollars in securities of the very high est grade. They are to be deposited with you as collateral security. I have brought them from John Duff, in Boston, and with this collateral as se curity. Mr. Duff asks you to pay the Union Pacific land grant coupons due today and to keep on paying them un til he sends you word to stop." As Mr. Morgan began his examina tion of the securities. Dr. Bullard hap pened to look from the bankers pri vate office into the main office of the banking house K was swarming with clerks armed with coupons of the land grant bonds due within less than a quarter of an hour. Carefully, cautiously. Mr. Mortoa looked over the securities. Finally, as he laid down the last one. he nodded his head approvingly, the next mo ment was issuing Instructions that the coupons should be paid until further orders, and within less than five min utes the first clerk to offer a Union Pacific coupon received his money, to the great astonishment not only of himself, but also of the other clerks there assembled, and. speedily there after. of all Wall street. For good financial news travels as fast as bad. and within an hour Union Pacific stock which had been quoted as low ' as ten cents on the dollar jumped to twenty-five and John Duff's s in :n law had bis first lesson in the effee! of credit upon a railroad property Until now. 1 believe. It has never been reported how the day w~as saved for the Union Pacific by John Du3 pledging his own securities for money with which to pay the coupons. Mr. Duff himself r.eTer referred to this act of his. not even when he was openly accused of improperly using his official relations with a nationally famous trust company to secure the funds so badly needed by the Union Pacific.

When General Grant became presi : deat one of the country’s most famous i 'war governors," William A. Bucking ham of Conneticut. became a United States senator, and almost at once •here sprang up between the two men a cordial relation that lasted until Governor Buckingham’s death, in 1S75. About a year after this friendship had been formed the president be came the guest of the senator at his home in Norwich, and that the people i of the town might meet the head of Invention Edison Valued Most Megaphone, the Wizard Believed. Would Be More Profitable to Hirr. Financially Than Talking Ma chine, But Was Deceived. Recently I toid the story of the late Charles A. Dana s doubt of Edison's good faith in claiming that he had in vented a talking machine after the late Amos J. Cummings and myself had reported to Mr Dana that Edison had demonstrated the machine to us. even going so far as to mrke It reproduce Mr. Cumming^' own voice, inflection and all, with distinction. After he had shown us the talking machine, explained its mechanism and made It perform for us. Mr. Edison went on to say that he got the idea for the machine while he was at work perfecting his microphone transmitter, extensively employed in the earlier telephones. "One Invention almost Invariably suggests another." he went on. “All sorts of notions came to me while I was working out this talking machine. One of them you will see in that big funnel up there." He pointed to a shelf upon which rested, or hung, a curious-looking object resembling a gi gantic funnel of about tall man beigbt. 'And I'm inclined to think.' he went on. “that there's going to be more profit In that thing than in this talking machine here. I have about made up my mind that I won’t work on anything unless it seems to me to have some commercial practicability. I can make hundreds of toys, but any fellow with a little ingenuity and pa | tience can do that. Maybe this talk ing machine is going to be not much more than a toy. after ail. but that thing over there—well. I’ll Bhow you how It works.” He called two of his assistants to his side and directed them to take their station on the crown of a hill about half a mile away. While they were doing so. Mr. Edi son had the big funnel shaped thing taken out In front of his shop. Then, when the men had posted themselves on the hill and stood facing us. an as sistant. getting under the big end of the funnel, held it up while Edison called through the other end. From time to time the men upon the hill made gestures to indicate that they had heard and understood what Edi son was saving Finally, Edison beck oned to them to report in, and when they had done so they repeated practi cally word for word what we had heard their employer say to them through the funnel. Mr. Cummings and I were almost as much astonished over this demonstra tion as we had previously been over j the talking machine. "What do you call the thing?" I asked Mr. Edison. "Well, it makes a big sound, and I think I'll call it the megaphone," re plied Mr. Edison. "As I have already told you. I sometimes think there will be a great deal more in it for me financially than in the talking ma ! chine. It will be a great thing on | ships: with its aid one ship at a dis i tance can hail another ship easily, and a captain can shout his orders clearly and distinctly through it tc the utter most ends of his vessel. It can be i used on land. also, for conversing at great distances. In short, this mega j phone of mine enlarges the zone of action of the human voice, and for ! this reason I am inclined to think at | times that it will be a more profitable ! invention than the talking machine. ! You have seen what it can do. and it does it Just as easy as rolling ofT a log." 1 presume that this was the first public demonstration of the Edison invention that has passed into univer sal use under the name megaphone—a contribution of human progress that has brought Its father cents where the phonograph has added to his wealth by the hundred thousands of dollars. tCopyrigtit. 19M. by E J.

He's not a motorist, he's an j undertaker." the nation Senator Buckingham gave a large reception in his honor. Among the citizens introduced to General Grant was a Dr Webster No eoner had the president heard the name than he detained its possessor "On my staff. Dr. Webster,” explained the president, "was a Col. John Web ster. He was one of the best staff offi cers I ever had. and I always think of him when 1 hear the name of Web ster spoken ” "He was my brother," said Dr Web ster. "Then I am more than ever pleased to meet you. Dr. Webster.” replied the ! president, "and. now that I come to think of it. you must be the brother of whom I have heard Colonel Web ster speak as having served without remuneration in the hospital service of the sanitary commission." “Yes. Mrs. Webster ana I were with the sanitary commiss'.cn throughout the war. Dr. Webster answered. And then, because the line behind was pressing, the brief interview came to an end. Late that evening the president told his host the pleasure he had re ceived from meeting Dr. Webster. “1 know something of the very great service he gave as a member of the hospital staff of the sanitary commls sion. whose work wos of inestimable value to the Union army." said the president; and then he asked: "Is Dr Webster practising medicine here?" In reply the president was told tha. Dr. Webster was now a bookkeeper on a small salary; that the prosperou* school he had founded and conductec before the war had broaen up whet he went with the sanitary commission, and that, returning from the field, he had been glad to get work as a book keeper. "Ah." said the president, med itatively, “there have been many such cases." And then the subject was dropped. A few weeks later the president re- j turned to Washington. He had not been there more than a week or ten days when official announcement was made that President Grant had ap pointed Dr. C. D. Webster of Connecti cut United States consul at Sheffield. England, at that time one of the coun try’s best paying consulates. It came as a perfect surprise to all of Nor- J wich. Senator Buckingham and Dr. Webster included. It was an appoint ment made entirely on the president's own volition, and made, undoubtedly, that Dr. Webster might be recom pensed in some measure for the loss of his school through his devotion to the cause of the care of the Union soldier For fifteen years Dr. Webster served as consul at Sheffield, and In all that time be was not once on a vacation. When drover Cleveland became presi dent he was disposed to continue the doctor in that post, but political pres sure against this policy was too great i for Mr. Cleveland not to heed it and regretfully he named a new man as consul.

No other down is so highly esteem ed or brings so high a price in the world’s markets as that of the eider duck. In Iceland and the Westmann islands, where these birds nest, they are rigidly protected by law and by public sentiment. These ducks make their nests of down from their own breasts. They Tluck the down out with their bills and form It into a circular mound that has the property of retaining heat to an extraordinary degree. If this down be removed, the duck sup plies a second and even a third lot from the same source. The eider farms in Iceland are fre quently situated on little islands off the coast covered with low hummocks. To protect the brooding ducks from the elements the Icelanders construct - --— ---—_ I small shelters of rough stones On i these farms. It Is said, the ducks be come so tame that any one with whom they are familiar may handle them i without frightening them. Separate buildings on the Icelandic eider farms are devoted to the clean ing of the product. Down clings ! tenaciously to anything on which it is thrown, a circumstance that Is utilis ed In cleaning It. There may be seen a number of frames of an oblong shape, and along these numbers of strings are loosely stretched. The down is cast on these near one end and a piece of wood is drawn rapidly backward and fonward over the other end. The down clings to the strings, but all impurities, such as grass and seaweed, fall to the ground. It takes a quantity of down to make even a small weight, and several nests must be used to obtain even a moder ate amount of down. T*e price at the farm is about two dollars and a half a pound.
