lam Mathot will probably be out of the

Of Brooklyn and Queens, and Rhinelander
Waldo, the First Deputy. will change
places. Mr.. Mathot's successor has not
been mentioned.
Mr., Mathot. when asked about the re-
port OF his resignation. told the reporters
to wait until January I to see II he still held
the job. 1t was said that Mr.. Mathot was
asked for his resignation after Gen Bingham
had a conference with Mayor Mcclellan
following the Caruso affair. when the Third
Deputy said the Police Department had
a long list Of prominent men who had been
arrested for the same offence the n
was arrested for. After Mr.. Mathot's
statement was published in the news
papers the Mayor voiced his indignation at
the Deputy's action and minated that he
would have him put out Of the Police De-

A HUNDRED-THousAND HORSE.
POWER MAN.

George Westinghouse seems to
flourish on opposition. When every
body says it is impossible to do a
thing, he does it They said the
brake was impossible, but for nearly
forty years it has been controlling
the movements of trains in all
countries. They said that the alter
mating current was impossible to use
in commercial practice. But Westing-
house used it. Then they said that
it was dangerous thing to have in a
community, and it would kill popula-
tons. They" were the experts. And
they tried to have laws passed for
bidding the use of this death dealing
current. In the files of the North
American Review" Of about twenty
years ago may be found a well-writ-
ten and forcible article supporting
these pessimistic contentious, and
warning the country against the i'm
practicability and danger of the alter
mating current. The article was writ
ten by Thomas A. Edison. Westing-
house backed his belief with his cour-
age, his fortune, and his inventivenes,
he employed experts of his own and
brought others from abroad, and be-
fore long the alternating current was
everywhere in use for the transmits
sion of electrical power over long
distances. He made it practicable
and conquered the dangers.
How much temperament has to do
with health, or health with tempera-
ment, and both with success, we do
not always know, but we can some
times guess. Mr.. Westinghouse is
one of the most sanguine of men and
has never had an illness. In that big
frame of his the red blood flows and
the human engines work full-powered
He has been written as "a hundred
thousand horse power man. No
phrase could better describe him.
The men who are near him say that
his capacity for work is greater than
that of any ten of his subordinates,
and he has twenty-five thousand men
working in his MISUNDERSTANDING
