The PASSING of Georqe WESTINGHOUSE

The death of George Westinghouse, who invented
the air brake and contributed such signal service in
connection with the development Of the alternating
current system for light and power, has elected many
~laudatory comments from some OF the leading news
papers of, the country, a few of which follow:
The Boston Herald:
Westinghouse had been famous so long that peo.
pie generally are inclined to think Of him as an older
man than he really was. He was very young, only
twenty-one, when he invented the air-brake. He died
at the age of g. years and five months, or a few days
more. In forty years he had originated many inven-
tions, and within six months of his death he was
working ut his latest. He founded and directed
great industries, and made them successful. Fifty
thousand men are in their employ. He won fame
and wealth early in life but they did not weaken
or warp his character. His character was, indeed, the
greater part of him, greater even than his command.
