BURR HAD TO OBEY.
Thssvics President Was stopped Sunday
by the Tfthing Iaan.

Thssvics President Was stopped Sunday
by the TfthingTaan.
A, relative of Deacon Highly, the old
tithingman of Milford, tells the story
of an encounter with Aaron Burr when
the latter was travelling from Boston to
New York while he was vice president
of the United States. 1t has been told
often, but seldom accurately until now,
says Milford Comm correspondent of
the New York Sun. Deacon Highly, as
tithingman, was accustomed to sit be-
tween sunrise and sunset every Sunday
in the front gallery of the old Plymouth
church on the turnpike in this place.
From the window he could command
view of the road for several miles east
and west, and # any traveller passed On
pleasure or business bent he was halted
and compelled to stop over until the
sun had set Mr.. Burr arrived at Mil
ford Sunday morning. Deacon Highly
saw the imposing equipage coming to-
ward the church and ran out to stop it.
The positions drew up at his word of
command, and Mr.. Burr asked: whats
the natter" Deacon Highly told him
that he was breaking law of the state
by travelling Sunday, and that he must
put up his horse and wait until sunset.
Burr was somewhat astonished at the
command and, after, looking at the tall
and imposing figure of the tithingman
who stood at the horses heads, he re-
marked, as If expecting TO settle the
question: But am Aaron Burr, vice
president of the United States" The
deacon was no respecter of persons.
With an obeisance, he replied: sit
makes no difference if you are vice
president of the United States. In the
name of the God l serve and the coun-
try honor forbid you to pass through
this place until the sun has set" Burr,
instead of defying the law, obeyed the
command and had his horses put out
and he and his retinue took dinner in
Buffers tavern, staying until after the
sun went down. Deacon Highly often
reIsbted the incident to his friend and
physician, DR.. L. n. Beardsly, who re-
peated it to the relative who tells the
story now. It removes the imputation
that Burr refused to obey the law, and
is due to the memory OF Deacon Highly,
who, in the performance of his duty,
was undismayed by show or titles.

known Among Theater-Goers All Ovue
This Broad Land.
There is no man in public capacity
to-day who is as well-known among
all classes of people as John II. Haver.
~, manager of the Casino at Chicago.
Thirty years as manager and inn
presario is long period Yet it was
in 1868 that Mr.. Haverly undertook tho
management of Cool Burgess. A his
tory of those thirty years would make
large volume well worth the reading.
+ 1t would tell of great struggles and VIC
tories, Of the sensations which accom-
pany opulence, and the feelings which
are always the companion of failure
and financial depression.
1t was in 1865 that the present man
ager of the Chicago Casino opened Arl-
ington hall, on the corner OF Clark
and Monroe streets, Chicago, with q
minstrel company which was the best
then in existence Cool Burgess and
Charles Pettengin were the stars
around whom clustered men now IA
nous in the business. He was the
lessee of the Arlington for two years,
when he took charge Of Happy" Cal
Wagner. With Cal at the head of .
minstrel organization he toured the
country and made money. Separating
from Wagner in 1870 he organized .
company to which he gave his own
name. Milt Barlow, Fayette WEIGH,
D. S. Morris, Ed French and Primrose
and West practically began their min
strel career at this time as the mem
bers of Haverly's minstrels.
1t was two years after this that Mr..
Haverly laid the foundation to theat-
rical career which became the marvel
of the country. ". W. Cole, the famous
circus manager, had obtained possession
of the old post office on the northwest
corner of Dearborn and Monroe streets,
the present location of the First ma
tional bank. He began to turn it into
a thester for Leonard Grover, but for
financial reasons the deal fell through
and Haverly, who was ON the lookout
for good things, took the house and
named it the Adelphi. With ample
means and good reputation he was

WHY THE STEPS SUITED HIM.
Ono of the Architect's Legs Was Shorter
Than the Other.

Ono of the Architect's Legs Was Shorter
Than the Other.
Coming down the main walks from
the capitol to Pennsylvania avenue
there are groups of three or four steps
that are very confusing to the average
pedestrian, and there is queer incl
dent connected with their construction.
For years there was a man about the
canitol who made the study of steps
and persons going up and down stairs a
fad and a science. In watching crowds
walking down the long approaches to
the capitol he discovered that by far a
greater number of persons stumbled on
those groups of steps than the record
ought to show. The attention of the
present capitol architect was called to
the matter, the Washington Post says,
but he was increduIous at the idea.
'"Why," said he, Frederick Olmstead,
the architect, took especial pains with
these groups of steps, know" How
ever, they watched the tricky groups of
steps and discovered that it was really
astonishing the number of persons who
stumbled going up and seemed inclined
to fall in descending, but they were ut
terly at sea for any explanation.
Olrastead himself came here later.
The subject was brought to his atten-
tion, and he went down to watch the
steps himself He was simply amazed
at the way people behaved when they
reached those steps. He said: 81 can't
account for it. / spent weeks arrang-
ing the proportion of rise to tread for
them. Wooden models of them were
put down for use at my own place, and
Iwallfed over them day after day till
felt sure they were perfect"
''Olmstead, isn't one of your legs
trife shorter than the other?" the step
savant inquired.
Olmstead was dumfounded when it
flashed on him that owing TO the inc
qualityin the length of his legs he had
made steps to the capitol that were
suited only for people similarly af-
Aicted.
