The paymaster general says that the ma

great value as a supply base, and the bu-
reau intends to meet the demands of the
fleet for supplies without purchasing on the
station, as far as possible. The refrigerator

satisfactory results, and have been a veri-

The great water transportation route
which stretches from Buffalo to Chicago
and Duluth is sharing IN the prosperity
and activity which characterize every
branch of business N the United States to-
day. The monthly statement of lake COM

Of Buffalo, Cleveland and Milwaukee each,
however, show a record in excess of 2Uuu
vessels for the season. and at the ports OF
Detroit, Duluth and Toledo the arrivals
have ranged from 1000 TO 500

Several familiar faces will be missing
from the Senate after March 4, prominent
among them being those of Wolcott of
Colorado, Lindsay of Kentucky, Carter of
Montana, Thurston of Nebraska, Pettigrew

ma.
The senators to fill the vacancies to oc-

have already been chosen. Ex-senator
blackburn will succeed Mr.. Lindsay from
Kentucky, Governor McLaurn Of Missis

Governor Foster of Louisiana will succeed
Senator Gallery. State Chairman Simmons
democrat, of North Carolina will be the
successor of Senator Butler, populist. Rep
re>entative Bailey will DE elected by the
Texas legislature to the United States Sen

self from Alabama.
Whatever the complexion of the Nebraska
legislature Senator Thurston will not come
back, as ne has announced his intention to
devote himself to the practice of law. Sen

nom the Senate, but probably not from
public life as it is believed that both will

the greatest ore-unload ng port in the
world, the 252 vessels which have entered
the harbor this season have brought 1.74S,-
255 tons OF iron ore, or a greater quantity
than was discharged a any other port
with two exceptions. One of these excerar
lions is the port of Ashtabula, also on Lake
Erie. Ashtabula will this season rank as
the greatest ore-receiving port in America,
having received up to October a total of
2,a"2.GA7 tons.

HIGH WAGES PAID BY TRUSTS.
George F. Cahill's Experience ON a
Visit to Large Eastern Cities.

Mr.. George F. Cahill has just returned to
the city after an interesting and some
what unusual trip. He is making special
study of wage rates in different cities in
the eastern part of the United States. In
the three weeks that he was absent Mr..
CahiIl visited Philadelphia. New York
Brooklyn, Bridgeport, Providence, Boston,
Portland, Schenectady, Syracuse and sew
eral other cities and large towns in New
England and New York state.
He says that the two most interesting
things disclosed by his trip are, first, that
the rich companies, often abused as
trusts pay the highest wages to their
employees, and, second that the proportions
and ramifications of the electrical business
are something wonderful. Electricity seems
to have entered every walk of life, and the
electrical companies are making much
money that they can afford TO pay the
highest wages and salaries to their men

First Letters Patent Feb.

THOMAS DAVENPORT
Especial to TELEGRAM.

Williamstown, January II, l900.-
Vermont can claim the honor OF the
invention of the electric motor, but
Thomas Davenport a native of Will
Jamestown, not Calais man as the
papers have it, was the inventor.
Letters patent were granted him for
an electric motor Feb. %, 1887. The
'facts in this case" were published
several years ago.
Thomas Davenport was born in
WilllamstoWn July, 9, 1902. When
II he was apprcnticed to Capt. sam
uel Abbott and Enoch Howe to learn
the trade of blacksmith. He served
: years and than went to Brandon
where he opened a blacksmith shop.
Students of electricity will remem-
Der that in the first part of the CEN
tury great advancement was made in
the development of the science Of
electricity. About the time Daven-
port went to Brandon a Copenhagen
professor who had discovered and adj
vanced the true theory of the relation
Of electricity and magnetism, showed
by actual experiments that his theory
was right.
This created Il great deal Of excite
mcnt among scientists and soon after
Arago succeeded in imparting penna-
ncnt magnetism to bars of steel. Mag
nctic iron ore scparatorS were invented
and in visit to the Crown Point for
gcs to get iron Davenport saw one OF
these in operation. He then and there
conceived the idea of making wheel
revolve by means Of magnetism. Soon
after this he bought the horseshoe
magnet used by the Crown Point peo-
pie, and Immediately made a larger
magnet, his wife cutting up her silk
dress to furnish insulating material
for the wire used in winding it. This
magnet would raise a tons weight.
Davenport succeeded in building a

and he was engaged in removing it
when he in some way exploded the

air was filed with fragments of rocks
and his body. Three pieces of rock
passed through his body. His eyes
were blown out, and the body was ter
ribly mangled. He was about "a

motor that would move machinery,
and in 1884 exhibited it with other
electrical machines at Middlcbury col
lege. lie soon afterwards visited Troy
and New York city and exhibited his
machines to several distinguished sci
entists. Among those who visited him
in New York was Prof. Morse, who
is thought to have gained from Daven-
port the ideas that led to the invcn-
tion of the telegraph instruments he
afterwards made.
1t was after this trip to New York
that Davenport applied for and OBJ
tained patent on his motor, and in
1910 he commenced the publication
of a newspaper, The Magnet, running
his presses by an electric motor, the
current for which was furnished by a
primary battery.
A "a wire telegraph system was
invented by davenport In 1854. Morse
afterward invented an alphabet and
using a single wire was able to trans
NIT messages.
Many electrical appliances were in
vented by Davenport, but probably
the electric motor was his greatest
invention. He should not be robbed
of the honor of this.
