Almost the Last of the Race,


The last even distant relative of Aaron
Burr is dead. He was a halter. He
was born in Western New York as long
ago as 1870 and came to the metropolis
to learn the hatter's trade. He patent
ed hat machine about 1852 Up to
that time hat bodies had been made by
hand. Burr's machine so revolution
lied the business that in 1856 6,0U0,O
hats were made upon his machine For
many years he virtually had monopo-
~ of the bat trade, and when his patent
expired in 1872, he had amassed great
fortune. At the breaking out of the
war he practically organized the famous
Ellsworth Zouaves, and contributed lib
orally to our early military establish
ment. he was IN many respects sing
uiar man, but a pushing, energetic citi-
zen. He was an active director in
many large institutions in New York.
His father was Aaron Burr's first cous-
in, and his grandmother a sister Of JON
athan Edwards. He sprang from that
large Burr family that once lived near
Cooperstown. Now that he is dead. it
will be exceedingly hard to find anoth-
er man bearing he name OF Burr who
Is even remotely connected with the i'll
lated but brilliant man who was once

Buying a Corner Lot.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York sun.
Pittsburg is enjoying a boom in real
estate just now, and the competition for
choice lots runs high.
Mr.. Bilgus owned lot on the corner
of Fifth Avenue and Madison week or
two ago, but he does not own it now.
This is how he happened to part with
it:
"Mr. Bilgus, believe ?"

81 understand you want to sell that
lot on the corner OF Fifth and Madison.
What will you take for it "'
Il don't know that / am anxious to
sell that lot" said Bilgus; "still might,

"Well, what is your price,"
That property is worth every cent
of $50. 900, and don't know but what |
ought to ask $4,000 Do you want to
buy"
ooh, no." replied Bilgus' visitor,
taking memorandum book out of his
pocket and putting down some figures.
''My name is Gerrish; I'm the new as
SCISSOR for that district, and l merely
wanted to get at the value Of your prop

Bilgus smiled a eickly sort of smile.

he gasped presently.
''Well, can't an assessor buy proper

Bilgus kicked like dozen mules, but
it WAS no go. Mr.. Gerrish had his wit
ness to prove that Rilgus had offered
the lot for 3ls 900, and rather than de-
fend against threatened law suit the
unhappy man made out the deed.

Ahoue the Green Christmas.

From the New York Journal Of Commerce
There is more illness with . green
Christmas, it is true, but the difficulty
is not in the weather, but in the folly Of
those who insist on treating it as q
usurper. In very cold weather the
winter attire with which most persons
are provided, does not induce perspir-
alton, and hence few who are thus clad
suffer from the check which comes to
wind or frosty air will give 'cold," as
the affection is commonly called, if the

covering. And no one whose body is
moist with sweat can safely sit in

THE new regulation British small arm

good smokeless powder has yet been

British. Some OF the foreign critics say
that England is not in the same condi-
tioE as continental nations; that the am
munition of the former has to be stored
and used in al sorts of climates, and
all. or nearly all, the nitrate explosives
are very sensitive and verv ugly"
under climatic influence. The critics
do not see. however, why black powder
should not lie used abroad and nitrate
powders be kept for home or European
service.
