Tribute to Robert Fulton's Genius.
In commemorating the centennial
anniversary of the successful applica-
ton of steam to navigation by Robert
Fulton. which will also be part of the
Hudson-Futon celebration, 1t is of In
terest to know something of the noted
inventors life and characteristics. This
is furnished by Alice Crary Sutcliffe,
granddaughter of Robert Fulton.
i'm the following extract from her time
ly story of Robert Fulton and the
which is the first authoritative narra-
tive of the Clermont's first trip up the
Hudson and of the great inventors
early experiments. persistent efforts
and historic achievements:
In this time of the celebration OF Robert
Fulton's chief invention 1t should be kept
in mind that he was deeply interested In
the largest problems of humanity. He
was not only an inventor. but reform
er. a statesman and a patriot. With
splendid courage born of conviction, he
enriched the world by original products
which he WAS pleased to term useful
arts and sometimes mental property.
TO forward his plans he gave In unstinted
measure his time, his talents and his
wealth. 1t is characteristic that In his
writings he always capitalized the word
ideas and spelled money with a small
initial As the world gauges success he
died poor. yet as a century translates
that poverty it becomes golden with the
wealth of honor.

vealed that barn belonging to w. +.

flames and needed the attention of the

The department were early on the
scene, but the barn and contents were
destroyed. The fire is supposed to
have been started by tramps who oc-
cupied it for a nights lodging, but
this is only a supposition as no sus-
picious characters were seen about at
the time of the blaze The loss will
reach about $500.
