It was just 80 years ago today that
group oi Baltimore's foremost cu-
sens met at the residence of Philip
B. Thomas for the Dumose of devising
means which would enable commer
cial Intercourse between Baltimore
and the Ohio river, and thus overcome
the commercial advantages her neigh
boring cities, Philadelphia and New
York, enjoyed by reason of canals.
The Baltimore A Ohio is the oldest
steam railroad In America. The first
stone of Its roadbed was laid In this
city on the Fourth of July, 1828, with
elaborate ceremony. Ove its origin
al length of nine miles mules dragged
Its cars. Then Peter Cooper, a man
ufacturer of New York, brought to
Baltimore a steam engine a curious
concern, something like a boiler with
stovepipe In It In 1831. And Coop
er's engine broke down and the horse
express beat It Then came the grass
hopper engines the embryonic germs
of the tremendous locomotives of to
ny. So, historically, the Baltimore A
Ohio Is extremely Interesting.
The road grew. It was the first to
cross the Allegheny mountains and
tap the great . west It grew, and
thanks to the energy, the executive
capacity, the untiring labor of John
W. Garrett, It thrived In time.
Under the management of John W.
Garrett the road arose to a prosper
ity that even he had not dreamed of.
The company's Btock paid 10 per cent
dividends. If a dying man had money
In the Baltimore A Ohio he died cun
tent, for he knew his widow was pro
vided for.
John W. Garrett died In 1884 and
his son, Robert Garrett, succeoded
him as president of the Bnltlmoro A
Ohio. One of the moat Interesting
chapters In the history of the road
occurred when Robert Garrett opened
the "bottle of champagne that coat
millions."
At that time there was one railroad
between Philadelphia and Baltimore.

Robert Oarrett wanted it for the Bal
timore A Ohio. Thomas A. Scott
wanted It for the Pennsylvania rail
road. That railroad was the Phila
delphia, Wilmington A Baltimore.
.TiiRt nt that time It was naturally the
most desirable thing In the world for
the B. A O., and llkewiso ror tne
Pennsylvania.
Robert Oarrett set about to ac
quire the property. He learned that
several of the largest owners of stock
lived Irt Boston. With their stock In
his possession he could easily get
control of the majority. Bo ne went
to Boston, where his negotiations
were ' eminently successful. Already
In his mind's eye he saw tne B. & O.
trains rolling Into Philadelphia.
But Robert Garrett was never a
self-contained man. He drank deep.
Arrived at New i one ne wem to a
dinner Darty. Some corporation law
yers were among those present. At
that dinner party tne Dome or cnam
pagne that cost millions was opened.
Rnhnri Oarrett drank It. Flushed, he
could not keep his triumphant secret
But one man. whose legs were unaer
the mnhnsnnv. did not drink. He ex
cused himself about 10 p. m. and left
the table. Before daylight no was in
Philadelphia and at the house of
Thnmiia A. Scott. Dresldent of the
Pennsylvania. The next morning
emissaries of the Pennsylvania were
hurrying to Boston and other points
to get hold of the P.. W. A B. stock.
By 2 o'clock the next day tne papers

& Baltimore,
when Robert Garrett awoke on
what he firmly believed was to be the
morning of his triumph the newspa
pers were full of the deal between the
Pennsylvania and the P., W. A B.
Robert Garrett then determined that
v.. nnltlmnra Jlr Ohio would build ItS
own line Into Philadelphia. This It
finally did.
Homer Daven&ort. whose cartoons
It. various New "Yoik papers have
pliyed a telling part In some of the
presidential andi local political cam
nrivns. and which between times
have illuminated subjects of passing
Interest with remarkable pertinency,
is riftsortnea as one ot tne reai nota
ble of the New York newspaper
w.irM. Prerlorlrk Tlenn. who writes
of him in the Editor and Publisher,
(New York) tell us that when Daven
port came to the city "he brought
with him a largo heart, a big head ana
a sharp pencil." "He came a lover
of dumb beasts .and a hater of human
weakness and h uman vice."
What he hax dune is realized In
part by most readers of the New York
nrew. hot the nreeent writer tells. In
addition to what he has done, some
thing of the wort of man he Is and
low from the cradle, almost, he has
been "predestined" for success In tne
ork which h- has chosen.

The pencil, guided by the head, has
dune Its deoMlly woik, and the world
at large knows him only for his clever
cruolty to those In high office. To
hid intimates has been given the
pleasure of teeing the kindlier side

Davanport Is a natural-born cartoon
inker. His part In the world's work

an Ina-irniitlorr of a Michelangelo, with
talents turned! aside to the specific
use of satire. A true student ot na

was- drawing, drawing not only the
things that he saw about him, but

ICE FROM THE GLACIERS.
Novel Industry Growing Up In Svrit-
xcrlund.
The introduction of electric rail-
Alnlne districts has been
tilt means of establishing a new and
somewhat strange Industry namely,
Ihe quarrying of glacier ice for dis
tribution in large cities.
It would appear that certain of the
Rwi communes have been able to
grant concessions of their glaciers for
this purpose, and considerable sums
have been expended In constructing
Ice slides or V-snapea trougns, in
which the bldcks of Ice, often of latge
hlnated out of the glacier are
transported to the vicinity oi me sui-
tiona for conveyance. In careiuiiy re
frigerated vans, to Lyon and other
inrire cities remole from the Alps.
The method of blasting with black
nnwder so as to avoid the discolora
tion and soiling of the Ice, and the
engineering ability displayed In erect
ir the ulldea and in urovldlng suf
ficient friction by means of curves to
avoid excessive speed In the down-o.-nrl
Inurnev of the Ice blocks, are
spoken of by the London Times aa
examples of considerable ingenuity
anil aklll.
Glacier ice. which is perfectly pure
ond transparent, and which has many
dualities which are greatly appreci
ated by consumers, commands a high
er value than that of the usual kind
obtained from the surface of frozen
ponds or Inkes. A singular feature
In connection with the preparation of
the ice for the market is that It has
been found necessary to store It for
some days In special warehouses,
formed of a double thickness of botird
inir with a stratum of sawdust lnter-
nnaed. In order to remove a coating
of frost or non-transparent Ice whlcn
tends to form on the surface of each
block as It leaves the glacier.
