Mr. Phillip Phair of that town has al

Trinity college, the degree of A b. from
Harvard University and in another year

the Herald knows Mr. Phair will be the
first Aroostook boy to secure these degrees
from Harvard.

Especial Chicago Letter
Among the numerous inventors who
make their home in Chicago there is
one whose name should be known in
every house in America. But, like
many other bright minds, he became
a victim of the laws delays and others
have reaped the fame and fortune to
which his genius entitled him. In pro-
fessional and scientific circles James
w. McDonough is recognized as the in
ventor of the telephone; among law
yers he is considered litigant par ex-
'cellence; readers Of patent reports and
court decisions admit his brain power
and deplore the existence of conditions
which permit wealthy and soulless
corporation to rob man of the re-
wards of his intellect and industry
simply because he has not the means or
the physical strength to conduct a
thirty years legal warfare with un-
principled opponents.
In April, 1876, Mr.. McDonough ap-
piled for a patent on his telephone.
In March of the same year Bell had
been granted patent. The instru-
ments invented by both were very
much alike in construction and identi-
cal in principle, but McOooough had
begun his experiments long before
Bell filed his application. He placed
