Westinghouse Agricultural Works, in
Schenectady, all activity was hushed.
Many Of the men were away at din

stood few rods from the works the
clerks yawned with exhaustion. AT
one Of the desks, however, was a
mind the steaming heat could not
subdue. Then, as always, Westng-
house could and did outwork many
men. Every day but Sunday was a
working day and every day was
long.
"On this day, as usual, he was put

THE THREE BROTHERS AND
CANDLE INCIDENT.

The rule of the Westinghouse boys
was that the last one TO get into bed
must blow out the candle. There were
three boys who occupied the one
room. one night George was the last
TO get into bed. but it was pretty cold.
and for that or some other reason
best known TO himself he didn blow
out the light The brothers objected.
George only cuddled up into a more
comfortable position beneath the bed
clothes. and remained obdurate to all
entreaties TO get from under ana
blow out the candle. Finally, the
other two boys thought they would
get even and they crept quietly out
Of bed, picked up the candle and tip
toed with It over to Georges bed,
intending TO scorch the end Of his
nose. When they reached that point
George blew put the candle before II
did any damage. II is said to be
the only time that he did blow II
out.
The hoy attended the public
schools. but he was born inventor,
and before he was sixteen he put to
gether a type of rotary engine, ana
very soon after this he stood sue
cessfully the examination for the
position of assistant engineer in the

engine when he died. Recently al

EXPERIMENTS IN 1865 WITH
STEAM BRAKE.

The idea of the air brake was in
his mind in these days. He began
experiments in 1866 with q brake
operated by steam. He was return
ing TO Schenectady from Troy one
night when he witnessed q bad train
wreck-a head-on collision on piece
of straight track. He was on one
of his frog selling trips at the time.
The danger had been seen by the
engineers, but the hand brakes could
not be set in time to avert the dis
aster. The brakemen, tugging at
their brakes, did their best. but the
best of hand brakes were primitive
affairs, and in emergencies usually
useless.
Mr.. Westinghouse conceived the
idea of instantly braking an entire
train with some form OF power con-
trolled by the engineer in his cab.
His first thought was an automatic
brake attached to the couplers. This
soon proved impracticable. Then he
tried steam. But test convinced
him that here, too, he was working
along impractical lines. BY the time
steam was sent from the engineers
cab 10 the brakes it had lost all
power. At this point came Fate.

HIS INTERVIEW WITH COMMO
DORE VANDERBILT.

one Of the most popular stories Of
the early struggles Of George West
inghouse relates 70 that interview
with Commodore Vanderbilt, the
greatest living railroad man of the
period. Young Westinghouse, 50 the
story goes, had tried to get the
superintendent of the New York Cen
trail Railroad to try his airbrake.
The superintendent declined At last
he got permission to explain his air
brake to Commodore Vanderbilt,
Westinghouse was himself so thor
oughly convinced of the merit of his
invention that he was sure if he had
the opportunity of explaining il
Commodore Vanderbilt would imme-
diately order every car Of the New
York Central road to be equipped
with il.
The interview took place in Com
modore Vanderbilt's New York Of
fee. Mr.. Westinghouse spoke and
Commodore Vanderbilt listened. At
last the cid man asked DO You
mean to tell me YOU can stop rail
road train by wind
"Wen. yes; inasmuch as air is
wind l suppose YOU arc right" said
the inventor. Then the great railroad
man said something like this:
Il have no time to 'waste on fools,
and the interview was ended.
1t is an interesting story, and Mr..
Westinghouse found it was useless
10 try to kill it. 1t wasn't the killable
kind But Mr. Westinghouse always
said there was not word Of truth
i'm it, and he was among those pres
ont when he had the interview with
the Commodore. 1t is almost as good
as if it were true, because the moral
of the tale is that young WestinG-
house kept on going.

TRIPLE MURDERER
SUICIDES IN CELL
Lawrence Robinson Cuts His
Throat With The Shank of
His Shoe.
United Press Dispatch.

United Press Dispatch.
Boston, Mass, July 22.--Law-
renee Robinson on trial for the
murder of Inspector Norton,
who had sought Robinson's ar
rest for a triple murder at
Grand Rapids, Michigan, was
found dead in his cell this morn
ing. He had killed himself by
cutting his throat with a shoe
shank. The prison officials re-
fuse to make any statement, but
District Attorney Pelletier has
admitted the fact.
Pelletier later announced that
Robinson was found at seven
O'Clock by Waterman and was
lying in pool of blood on his
cot. He was in a normal condi-
ton at 6 o'clock for the guard
noticed him at that time. He
evidently waited until the six
o'clock guard had passed SO
that he might have plenty of
time to bleed to death. Both
his neck and left wrist were bad
ly gashed by an instrument
sharpened against the stones of
his cell. The instrument is
thought to be the shank of a
shoe.
Robinson's mother announced
recently at home that she
would endeavor to save her son
by revealing a secret of thirty
five years in attempting to prove
that a prenatal influence caused
her boy to become a murderer.

Dear Editor:

most a complete failure. The
corn will be good if there are
plenty of rains. The people
have garnered very good

Chickens are full ripe. We are
thoroughly enjoying this week

tiers. Then, too, that one line
about ripe chickens" might fur
