AARON RURR's PISTOLS.
Formidable Pair of Weapons, with One
of which Hamilton was Killed.
LOnisYillN Cnnrier-Jonrnal

Some weeks a-a ! ran across perhaps
the most famous ana fatal frearms on
this contireu, the superb duelling pistols
of Aaron Bur- They are bone-breaking
brace of the L -st CgiL"e, and the property
of Capt. Eren.. j 1p ',jDF of this city. One
of these pistols iire1 lie ball that killed
Alexander Hamilton al Weehawken. 1t
is identified by long, deep notch indent-
ed on the handle. The pistols were made
by Mortimer, of London, England, and
were imported by Burr at the close of the
Revolutionary war. The barrels are thir-
teen inches long and carry an ounce ball.
They are flint locks, and the pans for the
priming are lined with gold, and the touch
holes are bushed with gold and metal.
They are hair triggers and shoot with
great force and accuracy. The locks are
very superior and of exquisite mechanism.
The pair came into the possession of Capt.
Brent Hopkins, the present owner, through
his uncle, Capt. Sam Goode Hopkins of
the Forty-second Regiment of United
States Dragons, who purchased them
from Burr in Washington city in the win
ter of 1913 or 1914, paying $500 in gold
for them. Burr remarked at the time that
he would not let any one else have the
pistols, as he had used them with
Hamilton.
The weapons have surely blood stained
history. They have been used with fatal
effect in eleven duels. Among the san
culinary combats Petite, of Virginia, killed
Biddle on Bloody Island near st. Louis;
Edward Towns, of Virginia, killed a
Frenchman near New Orleans; Capt. Sam.
Goode Hopkins killed Spanish Count
near Madrid, Mo-; Hugh Brent killed a
man from Georgia on Diamond Island,
below Henderson, Ky, They were used
several times in Virginia, twice in Sonth
Carolina, and more than once in Kentucky
with deadly effect. Robert Triplett, of
Owensboro, shot the old lawyer, Phil.
Thompson, of that city, through and
through with one of them, but, strange to
say, Thompson recovered and grew as
fat as bear. Henry Clay and Capt
Hopkins were fast friends, and the former
was to have used the pistols in one of his
duels, but they arrived day too late.

BISMARCK'S SCHEME
For Founding 0m Immense German CoIIonu
IN MeGicO.

For Founding 0m Immense German CoIIOny
IN MeeicO.
Sometime ago mention was made of the
sale OF 100000 acres of land in Mexico
to Hazelton q Parsons, agents of the Bar
tholomew House, London, that house rep
resenting, it is supposed, the German gov
ernment. The sale was made through a
Philadelphia agent, who has successfully
conducted vast negotiations for the sale of
Florida lands to English capitalists. It is
understood that the object of his visit to
Washington was to confer with State De-
partment officials and others relative to
Mexican land upe rations in which he is.
interested.
From Colonel Linderman it is learned
that Hazelton, of London, represents Bis,
marck, who, acting for the German Govern
ment, wishes to obtain ten million acres of
land in Mexico, where German colony of
largo proportions can be established, Bis
marck, Colonel Linderman says, realizes
the fact that the German people cannot be
prevented from leaving the Fatherland.
He does not wish the emigrants to go to
the United States, where they will become
naturalized citizens of this country, and he
favors Offering inducements to those who
emlgrate to retain their allegiance to the
imperial government. The first purchase
of one million acres of land was made
through an agent in New York, represent
ing the owners of the Bustamonte grant in
the State of Zacatecas. The title of this
grant dates back two centuries. The price
paid was $3.50 per acre, or $2,5OO,OO0 for
the entire track.
Next week Colonel Linderman says he
will go to New York, to close an agree
ment for another tract of 100000 acres.
1t is the desire of the German Government
according to Col. Linderman, that the en-
tire purchase may be located as compact
ly as possible, and negotiations will be
begun for the purchase of territory on the
Gulf, where seaport tributary to the ac-
quired domain may be located. Zacate-
cas- is IN the central part Of Mexico, east
of the City of Mexico. Colonel Linder--
man does not think that any international
question can arise between the United
States, Germany and Mexico that will
prevent the consumation of the sale that
ne is negotiating. If Mr.. Blaine's opinion
on the question should be sought he
would probably advise to the contrary.

How it Has Come Into Disrepute in Ger
many-SuggestiOns for Remedy.
New YORK, May 1.-The committee of
importers of pork products at Hamburg
writes the chamber of commerce here that
a pamphlet by I. Brett, of New York, is
mainly responsible for the prohibition of
the importation of American bacon, and
says the chamber should make it publicly
known that the pamphlet must be consid-
cred a mere stroke of business enterprise
and no importance whatever must be
paid to its remarks. The committee adds {:
Some remarks of the New York Staatz
Zeitung with some other American papers,
to the effect that dead hogs are used for
the manufacture of lard, and that the
| product of hogs used for merchantable
purposes is called Lard A IL have done
the greatest harm, and contributed
towards establishing prejudice against
| American hog products with some members
| OF our government who, without any ex-
perlence OF the matter, take theoretical
view of it, and seem to think the public
may be led to believe this lard is also fit
for consumption, and everybody acquaint-
ed with the trade knows this is impossible,
Nevertheless we would recommend that for
this name be substituted another, perhaps
Refuse A ~ which would render mis-
understanding of that kind impossible.
Any term that does not contain the word
LARD would suit this purpose. In order
to secure a repeal of the prohibition of i'm
portance, your government should take
the trouble of making the necessary inves-
LEGATIONS which would establish the follow
ing facts:
First-That no diseased hogs, or dead
hogs, are used for the export trade.
Second.-That the examination Of goods
when shipped is very strict one, SO much
SO only fully cured and wholesome meat
can pass it. When TIE opinion of our
leading men has changed again in favor
of importation, such Investigations car
only have beneficial influence on the
whole trade in American products in gen.
eral. At the same time they certainly will
prove the best means of removing the ex-
listing prejudice, and securing repeal of
the prohibition lately issued. 1t is, how
ever, evident that measures, or in fact any
effort in this direction, can be of benefit
only when backed by your government,
and ifupon such official examinations pro-
hibition appears to be based on false as
sertions, repeal of the prohibition ought
to be obtained.

La Fontaine's AAsent-DIindedness.
All the Year Round.


No one was more {" distrait'' than La
Fontaine; no one was less practical in the
management of his affairs. Not even an
important lawsuit in which he was en-
gagged could induce him to quit his abode
IN the country for the purpose-then uni
versally adopted-of soliciting the good
offices of the judges in his favor, until he
received letter from a friend announc-
Ing that the trial was fixed for the follow
ing day. His correspondent at the same
time sent him horse in order that he
might have no delay and, thus provided,
the fabulist started on his journey. By
the time he had arrived within three or
four miles of Paris he had entirely for
gotten the motive of his ride and be-
thought himself of paying a visit to a
literary colleague residing in the neighbor-
hood, and being cordially welcomed by
his host, remained there all night, utterly
oblivious of his lawsuit and everything
connected with it.
When Che awoke the next morning he
suddenly recollected the object of his ex-
pedition; and taking leave of his hospit-
able entertainer, remounted his steed. and
reached the capital exactly an hour after
the verdict had been given against him.
On being reproached by his friend for his
objectionable negligence, he merely OBJ
served that he was perfectly satisfied,
''for," he added, ''now that have lost nv
first cause, shall at least have no tempta--
ton to begin another" Shortly after the
publication of his fables it was intimated
to him that he ought to present copy to
the king, and, acting on the suggestion, he

ciously received by Louis XIV, who in the

A case of romance in real life to a small

of 25, left England to seek his fortune in
this country, leaving behind him Miss

the marriage to take place as soon as he

soon established himself in business in

wrote to his betrothed. and last week there
came to him a cablegram that "she was
coming" few days more and another
message came that the ship had arrived
safely in America with its, to him, pre-

could carry her she sped Westward, arriv-

late them. She had travelled 5000 miles,
