Over at the junction of Duane and

old buildings which are said to have
a bearing on a brief point OF history
in the career of Burr. 1t was in the
house called the Sixth Ward Hotel, or
perhaps a house that formerly stood
on that site, that Burr used to lodge
a woman named Chancellor. He had
been denounced in unmeasured terms
as the wickedest man OF the century
by a Rev. Mr.. Morton preacher in n
of the city churches, and OF pretense
that a woman was dying and In need

II was decided to auction the meat
for the benefit of a hospital which
Bishop Rowe Is trying to establish for

81 a pound was offered for a slice, but
the bidding became brisker as the
meat was cut up, until as much as s35

putrid flesh, by which feathers would
be defled; and they are careful to wash

ton has often been discussed whether
vultures discern dead animals by the
eye, or are attracted to them by the
smell. 1t Is certain that they possess
great powers both OF smell and OF WIS.,
