Fortune Saved Union Pacific
Johp Duff of Boston Sent Hit Bscwrl
ilea to' Now York Ju?t In Tims
to Moot Payment on Uand
Grant Bond*.
One of tlie great druuca of the finan
cial panic of 1873 was the failure ;/>f
the bunking bouse of Jay Cooke 4J
Od through having advanced too
largely on the bonda of the Northern
Pacific railroad, then In process' of
construction. Grave embarrassment
was cauded to many other railroad
< ouipatries by the panic, and not the
least embarrassed of these railroads
was the Union Pacific, which, at that
v time, was regarded in the railroad
_ and financial worlds aa a Boston In
stitution, since it was one of the great
railroad properties of the country
which Udston capital controlled.
From about 1866 John Duff of Bos
ton. who easily took rank with the
great financiers who began imnvedl*
utuly after the Civil war the work of
developing the railroad systems o( the
country, bad been prominently identi
fied with the Union Pacific. His was,
in fact, a leading voice In the affairs
of the company, and when it became
evident, first to the officers of the
?company, and then to the public, that
the Union Pacific was not In a posi
tion to meet the next payments on its
land grant bonds, Mr. Duff was greatly
-concerned. He had been so closely
identified for seven years with the
financial management of the company
that he felt that his business credit,
his personal honor, and, to, some ex
tent, bis Investments, were involved
in maintaining the credit of the Union
Pacific,
But how was that credit to be main
tained, with mogey in hiding every
where, and with the Union Paclflo
treasury without the necessary funds
to meet the payments soon due?
Not taken into account by the folk
who were confidently predicting a do
ffWU by the Union Pacific was the
grim determination of John Duff to
protect his good name at all hazards;
and so, the day before the coupons
of the land grant bonds were due, Mr.
timff into hla. office his -son-in
law, Dr. William H. Bullard, and
counted out in the letter's presence
a little oyer three hundred thousand
?dollars in 'first class securities, which,
Invention Edison Valued Most
Megaphone, the Wizard Believed,
WouM Be Mere Profitable to Him
Financially Than Talking Ma
chine, But Was Deceived.
Recently 1 tbW the atory of the late
Charles A. Dana's doubt of Edison's
good faith In claiming that he had In
vented ft talking machine after the
late Amos J; Cummlngs and myself had
reported to Mr. Dana that Edison had
demonstrated the machine to us, even
going so far as to meke It reproduce:
Mr. Cummlngs' own voice. Inflection
and all, with distipction..
After he had shown us the talking
machine, explained Its mechanism and
made it perform for us, Mr. Edison
went on to say that he got the idea
for the machine while he was at work
perfecting his' microphone transmitter,
extensively employed In the earlier
telephones.
"One invention almost Invariably
suggests .another," he went on. "All
sorts of notions came to me while 1
was working otit this talking machine.
One of them you will see In that big
funnel up there." He pointed to a
?belf upon which rested, or bung, a
curious-looking object resembling a gi
gantic funnel of about tall man
height. 'And I'm Inclined to think,"
he went on, "that there's going to be
more profit In that thing" than In this
talking, machine here. I have about
made up my mind that I won't work
on anything unless it seems to mo to
have some commercial practicability.
1 can make hundreds of toys, but any
fellow with a little Ingenuity and pa
tience oan do that. Maybe this talk
ing machine is going to be not much
more than a toy, after all, but that
thing over there?fell, I'll show you
how it works."
He called two of his assistants to
his side and directed them to take
their station*on the crown of a hill
about half a mile away.
While they were doing so. Mr. Edf
son had the trig funnel shaped thing
taken out In front of his shop. Then,
when the men had posted themselves
on lhe hill and stood facing us. an as

but a short time before, Mr. Duff him
self had taken from his private strong
box.
"Willlam," said Mr. Duff, motioning
to the securities, "1 want you to pack
theae bonds In a traveling satchol,
take the first train for ^evy York, and
as early an possible tomorrow morning
call at the office of Morton. HIIsh &
'Co., the railroad's fiscal agents, and
offer them in my name as security for
payment of the Union Pacific land
grant coupons due tomorrow." There
followed some detailed instructions,
and Dr. Uullard was off for New York.
Presenting himself at the banking
house of Morton, lilies & Co. on the
morrOw, a sbort while beforo the be
ginning of the business day,- Dr. Bui
lard opened his satchel in the presence
of Mr. Devi P. Morton.
"Mr. Morton," be said, "I have here
a little oyer three hundred thousand
dollars In securities of the very high
eat grade.- They are to be deposited
with you as collateral security. I
have brought them from John Duff, in
Boaton,andwlth this collateral as se
curity, Mr, Duff asks you to pay the
Union Pacific land grant coupons due
today and to keep on paying them un

As Mr. Morgan began his examina

When General Grant became presi
dont one of the country's most famous
"war governors," William A. Bucking
ham of Conueticut, became a United
States senator, aud almost, at once
there sprang up between the two men
a cordial relation that lasted until
Governor Buckingham's death, in
1876.
_,Ahniif a year. Alter this friendship
had beon formed the president be-1
came the guest of the senator at !)is
home in Norwich, and that the people
of the town might meet the head of
the funnel, h?ld tt up while Edison
called through the other end. From
time to time the men upon the hill
made gesturos to indicate that they
had heard and understood what Edi
son was saying. Finally, Edison beck
oned to them to report in, and when
.they had done so they, repeated practi-!
cally word for word what we had
heard their employer say to thorn
through the funnel. I
Mr. CummlngB and 1 were almost nB
much astonished over this demonstra- -j
tion aa we had previously been over
the talking machinc. "Whi^t do you I
call the thing?" I asked Mr. Edison, j
"Well, it makes a big sound, and I|
think 1*11 call it the megaphone," re- !
plied Mr, Edison. "Ab I have already
told you, 1 sometimes think there will I
be a^great deal more in It for me
financially than in the talking ma
chine. It will be a great thing on
ships; with Its aid one ship at a dis
tance can hall another ship easily, and
a captain can shout his orders clearly
and distinctly through* It to the utter
most ends of his vessel. . It can be
used on land, alrio, for conversing at
great distances. In short, this mega
phono of mine enlarges the eone Of
action of the human voice, and for
tttfs reason 1 am inclined to think at
times that it will be a more profitable
invention than the talking machine.
You have seen what it can do, and it
dpes it just as easy as rolling off a
log." ?
1 presume that this was the first
public demonstration of the Edison
invention that has passed into unlvetv
aal use under the name megaphone?a

has brought its father cents where
the phonograph has c added: to his
wealth by the hundred thousands of

the nation Senator Buckingham gave
a large reception In his honor.
Among the citizens introduced * to
General Grant was a Dr. Webster. No
ttoner had the president heard the
name than he/ detained Its possessor.
"On my staff, Dr. Webster/' explained
the president, "was a Col. John Web
ster. He was one of the best staff offi
cers I eyer bad, and I always think
of him when I hoar the nime of Web
ster spoken."
"He wbb my brother," said Dr. Web
ster. 1
"Then I am more than ever pleasod
to meet you, Dr. Webster," replied the
president, "and, now that J come to
think of it, you must be the brother
of whom I have.l?fi6Xd_^0<?lQh?l Web
ster Bpeak as having served without
remuneration in tho hospital service
of the sanitary commission."
"Yes. Mrs. Webster and 1 were with
the sanitary commission throughout
the war,' .Dr. Webster answered. And
then, bccause the line behind was
pressing, the brief Interview came to
an end.
Late that evening the president told
his host the pleasure he hatE4 re
ceived from meeting Dr. .Webster. "1
know something of the very great
Bervice he gave As a member of the
hospital staff of the sanitary commis
sion, whose work wos of Inestimable
valuo to the Union army," said the
president; and then he asked: "Is Dr.
Webster practising medicine here?"
In reply the president was told that
Dr. Webster was now a bookkeeper on
a small salary; that the prosperous
school he had founded and.conducted
[before the war had broken up When
he went with the sanitary commission,
j and that, returning from the field, he
had been glad to get work as a book'
keeper. "Ah," said the president, med
itatively, "there have been many such
cases." And then the subject was
dropped. - ' ^
A few weeks later the president re
turned to Washington. He had not
been there more than a week or ten
days when official announcement was
made that President Grant had ap
pointed Dr. C. D. Webster of Connecti
cut United States consul at Sheffield,
England, at that time one of the coun
trybest paying consulates, it came
Mi a perfect surprise to all of Nor
wich, Senator Buckingham and Dr.
Webster Included. It was an appoint
ment made entirely on the president's
own volition, and made, undoubtedly,
that Dr. Webster might _ be recom
pensed in some measure for the loss
of his school through his devotion to
the cause of the care of the Union
soldier.
For fifteen years Dr. Webster served
aa consul at Sheffield, and in all that
time he was' not once on a vacation.
When Grover Cleveland became presi
dent he was disposed to continue tho
doctor in that post, but political pres
sure against this policy was too great
for Mr. Cleveland not to heed It and
regretfully he named a new man as
consul.

East Portland, Me.?Is cancer com
municable through fish to human be
ings?
Through the establishment of a test
bureau at the United States fish
hatcheries here the government In
tends to try and settle for all time
this much mooted question. Dogs are
to be used in the experiment. A half
dozen little mongrels which will be
enrolled as charter members of the
"cancer squad" have just arrived, ac
companied by Dr. Harvey R. Oaylord,
director of the Grat\ylck cancer labor
atory at Buffalo, N. Y. The dootor
hits achieved fame through his discov
eries thai tho laws of Immunity ap
ply to-cancor.
The dogs are to be fed on the best
and most healthful sterilized food,
have the best sanitary quarters and
have a canine physician all their own.
To appease their thirst they are only
allowed to drink of a pond In which
there are flsh. These fish and the
dogs, carefully tended, may thus be
made to solve another of the great
puzzles of the medlca^ world. That
is, if the cancerous proclivities of the
fish are transmitted through the w*?
ter, then the dogs, It Is believed, will
show It and prove that the danger of
(Lis disease is ever present for hu
man beings who drink water In which
fish live.
Prof. Charles Q. Atkins, in charge
of (he hatchery, says:
"We now bare a number of dogs
