making this recommendation he used
the following language:

The public can judge for itself who

sas, if he meant what he said in this
letter. The above words in the hand
writing of Mr.. Lewis were read by me

her can he, nor can the four witnesses
referred to by him, deny that the above
wolds - erery one Of them - were
written by himself i'll recommending
his man for this position without ut

or Eustis, Hon. S. Nj. Robertson and |

M'Kee Rankin's Mistake,

Several years ago. when Mckee
Rankin was leading man in the stock
company at the theater in Pittsburg
says the N. Y. Dramatic Mirror, he was
visited every few days throughout the
entire season by long lean man who
looked like typical countryman. He
tried to influence him to advance money
for the putting of patent before the
public. The visitor only had one way
of stating his case, and this he religi.
ously did on an average of three times
week for thirty weeks. He would
lounge up to Rankin, and, after bid.
ding the actor good morning." and
chatting for while. would incidentally
remark:
I've got patent out of which un.
told wealth can be made-if l only had
about $500 to get started. Now, Mac,
I'll give you half interest in it if you'll
advance the money"
The same speech was repeated 50
frequently that it became standing
joke in the company, and the young
fellow who gave utterance to it was
looked upon as a crank by one and all.
Other people not members of the COM
pany joined the actors in their esti-
mate of the mental balance of the in
ventor. The season closed. Rankin
came to New York and his friend from
Pittsburg was forgotten until some
years later. when "The Danites" was
in the flush of its success. Rankin
was playing the part of Sandy in
Pittsburg, when he received call at
his hotel from one of the millionaires
of the Smoky city. He was greatly
surprised to think this man should call
on him, but few moments converse
ton put him straight. The visitor
was George Westinghouse and the
patent he 'tried'' to get Rankin inter-
ested in was the now universally used
"alr-brake," the royalties from which
amount to more than 100000 per an
mum
