spot Where Hamilton Fell.

The Fatal Barton-GTaham Meeting on the
spot Where Hamilton Fell.
The recent unwilling of the statue OF
Alexander Hamilton brings up recollec-
tions of the ground upon which the duel
between Hamilton and Burr was fought.
In a recent conversation with an elderly
gentlemen, an old New Yorker, this sub
iect was brought up, and he gave graphic
account Of duel between one DIR. Barton
and a Mr. Graham the latter being one Of
the editors of the Courier and Enquirer,
not far from the very spot where Hamilton
had lost his life some years before. In the
spring of 1920 or 1921 the narrator, being
then a young man and the owner of fast
Whitehall beat, was approached one even
ing by two gentlemen who wished to know
if he would take a party from the foot Of
Courtlandt street at ) o'clock next morning,
This the narrator promised to do, and at
the time appointed he was on hand with
his boat, manned by four oarsmen, and
himself at the tiller. Three gentlemen got
on board, and hewas directed TO steer toward
Paulus Hook (now Jersey City, From there
they proceeded up the river to spot on
the beach above Hoboken, and about one
hundred yards from the spot where the
memorable duel had been fought. They
all landed, and about fifteen minutes after
ward another boat, owned by Captain
Anthony L. Fountain, put ashore with
Mr. Graham and another party. When
this last boat landed, and while stepping
ashore, Graham stumbled and fell over a
rock, saying to the gentleman with him,
who turned out to be his second, Eddy,
it won't do to fall yet This was the first
intimation the narrator and Captain Foun.
tain received that a duel was about to take
place. While the seconds were measuring
off the ground an old farmer and several
men, all with hoes over their shoulders,
approached the spot, and one Of the men
hurried as though about to try and stop mat
tiers where they were, but the old farmer

After some ten PAGES had been measured
off on the beach, the seconds tossed for
their pistols, and Barton took his
stand facing to the south. Ora
ham facing north. The narrator and
Captain Fountain stood near the beach
about midway between the combatants,
the seconds and the doctor who was with
them standing opposite. When the signal
was given they fired, Graham's shot strik-
ing the ground about midway between the
coubatants and Barton's shot almost graz
ing Graham's right side. After the first
fire short conversation eusued between
the principals and seconds, which the mar

again took their positions. AT the second

and observed It is all day with him.
| Graham said, g Barton, my dear fellow,

said, g / am sorry" The old farmer and

reached the place the parties had all taken
TO their respective boats. On first leaving
| the shore the boats were somewhat sepa-
rated, but they aflerward came together,
and Barton took from his pocket flask
containing brandy and passed it to Graham.

Az ODD KITTEN. A very remarkable
case has just been communicated by Fran
chs Goodlake; this time fesh-eating
animal in the shape of kitten, about five
months old, which shows a passionate
fondness for salads. 1t eats no end of
sliced cucumber dressed with vinegar, even
when hot with cayenne pepper After a
little fencing it has eaten a piece of boiled
beef with mustard. It's mother was at
least once seen 10 eat piece of cucumber
which had salt, pepper and vinegar on it.
The kitten IS apparently in good health,
and its extraordinary taste is not easily
accounted for Even supposing it once
got feed OF salmon mayonnaise, why
should it not select to prefer the dressing
to the fish > Nature.

Tneverv Latest Test bvDr. Love

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND CoURIER:
 The contract for supplying the United States government with 75,0oO pounds of Baking Powder during the ensuing year has been awarded to Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder, it having been tested by Dr. E. G. Love, analytical chemist for the government, and recommended by him for it's excellence, and because it contained higher percentage of gas (which means that it will make Ighter bread and biscuit) than either the 'tRoyGE' or any of the other cream tartar baking pow ders which he examined. The samples ana lyzed by Dr. Love were furnished by the government commissioners, and were without the manufacturers label or name.
 It will thus be seen that when Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder is submitted to an inapartiaJ test, it's superiority is acknowl- edged, and the popular verdict 50 emphati- cally expressed in it's favor is fully sustained.
