The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1900-11-29

This great story of sensational conspi-
racy which makes Burr's life unique in
American history is explicitly set forth in
this remarkable serial. In 1904 Burr,
then NicePresident, was candidate for
the Governorship of New York, was over
whelmingly beaten, and as the result of
the election picked a quarrel with and
killed Alexander Hamilton. The histori-
cal characters involved in the story are
drawn true to life, and include, beside
Burr. Mrs. Samuel Chick, of Albany, Paul
Livingston, Samuel SwartOut, hatchery,
a scheming attorney and banker of AL
bany; Harry Granger. romantic youth,
who had fallen under the influence of Burr
in the East, and who by misfOrtunes, in
ending the death of his father, had been
impelled to migrate to the then infant
State of Ohio, and Jem Bounder, poor
New Jersey coast fisherman, who had been
acquainted with Granger in the East Be
sides, there are some minor characters,
more or less typical of the times. Burr's
term as Vice-President having expired in
March. 1905, and as he is under indict-
ment for murder of Hamilton in both New
York and New Jersey, he goes West and
begins to mature his plans to become the
Napoleon of a Western Empire.

Gold Mine in Wall Street.

There is placer gold mine in the heart
of Wall street that has been worked with
great profit for years, and will be worked
with great profit for years to come. The
yield of precious metal runs about the
same from year to year. he mine is on
the roof Of the Government assay office.
Gold is such volatile element that in the
process of refining much passes out of the
ohlmncys with the smoke But the mo
nent 1t comes ill contact with the cold
air it resumes its metal shape and falls
TO the roof in yellow powder. 1t is so
heavy that the rains cannot wash it entire
iy from the roof. After heavy rains it is
found lodged i'll the cutters. and men with
brooms sweep it up carefully and return
1t to the assay office.
This. gold is net profit to the Govern
ment, as it really belongs to nobody, but
as 1t falls on the roof of the Government
building Uncle Sam clearly has the rirst
claim. The mine is guarded jealously by
the Federal watchmen and no stranger
ever steps on that precious roof. Bad
boys in the bankers offices, knowing of
the precious deposit, have racked their
brains for generations TO devise way of
raIding Uncle Sans mine.

AGAIN AND AGAIN HE HAD ovERHAULED THE OLD TRUMP

great valley secure! The tide of immigra-
ton, for lG years held in check by the in
tolerance of the Spaniards, was now free
TO pour itself into the most productive re-
gion of the EARTH The insolence of the
Dons, whom every Western man had
learned to despise, was signally rebuked!
Aaron Burr, the man without a coun-
try, was one of the many thousands who
had turned his face Westward as the
scene Of a new career. He was resolved
ut least to see the region which seemed to
present to men of energy such boundless
opportunities. Many OF his military and
political acquaintance, Members of Con-
gress with whom he had acted, Senators
over whom he had presided, had migrated
to the boundless West. In 1896, when the
Federalists had delayed the admission of
Tennessee into the Union, Burr had been
Jealous in her cause, and thereby won
great popularity in the new State. Gen.
Jackson had appeared on the scene as her
Representative in Congress; "a tall, lank
notwithstanding parsonage, with long locks
Of hair hanging down his face, and
queue down his back in an eel-skin; his
dress singular, his manner and department
those of a rough backwoodsman." An in

ocean when yer husbands off in his boat,
thinkin' he be drowned. He plow the
land and grow the barley. Then yen
have to sew, lass. There be cows and
ducks and chickens to your care. Oh. We
be greet Teddy" and despite the fact Jem
had almost begun TO lose faith in the con
tents of the old trunk, he turned his eyes
in that direction.
1t was a cold, bleak night, and the wind
blew loud and shrill about the house, while
the roaring surf beat with deafening fury
on the shore.
Jem had all his life been used 10 the
roaring sea, and it was music Ito his ear.
He smoked his pipe until the tobacco had
burned out, and then he sat doing in his
snug corner, while his industrious wife
piled her knitting The children
had long since been sleeping in their poor
beds. Suddenly another noise than the
roaring OF the sea came on the ears of
the fisherman, causing him to start from
his nap and drop his pipe-the- sound was
footsteps approaching the door of the hut.
Before Jem could stoop and pick up his
pipe there came rap.

Costly Mahogany Logs

Two logs of African mahogany were
sold recently FOR the unprecedented amount
of 81 $50. These logs formed one tree and
Were bought for the purpose of being cut
into veneers for the decoration of the pa
latiai residences OF some of the merchant
princes of the United States. The veneers
are used i'll place of wall paper and, be-
ing beautifully figured, give Il superb eff
feet. The prices realized for the two logs
were respectively $3.50 ami Sl.95 per su-
perfcial foot, which is record for Afri-

PENSION DEPARTMENT OF p. r.. r..
System is Now in Active Operation
With Good Results.

dispatch from Philadelphia says: The
Pennsylvania railroad pension department,
created for the purpose of administering
the several pension departments of the va
rious companies directly operated or affili-
ated with the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany east of Pittsburg and Erie the opera
tons of which began on January 1 of the
present year, is now a fully equipped de-
partment of the service, and during the
month of January the board of officers at
it's several meetings acted upon the cases
of 99S employees who were relieved from
the service on the first of the present year
and fixed the monthly pension allowances
TO be paid each OF such retired employees
the aggregate of which amounts to over
100000 per annum. The employees relieved
represented all grades of the service there
being eight officers, chief clerks and spe-
cial agents 1S3 laborers, ninety-two fore-
men, assistant foremen and other MAIN
tenance of way men, ninety-three black
smiths and machinists, ninety-one enei-
neers and round house men and seventy
three trainmaSters, conductors and train
yard and boatmen.
Seven hundred and eighteen of the re-
lleved employees We're members of the re-
lief fund. each of whom receives, in addi-
ton to the pension allowance from the
company, a approximation allowance from
the relief department, the aggregate of
which amounts to over $21,0 900 per annum
Inc names OF seven or the pensioners
We're dropped from the rolls during the
month of January on account of death A
liberal feature of the regulatioas is the pro-
vision that the average regular monthly
pay, on which the pension allowance is
based, shall be determined, not upon what
the employe actually earned during the ten
years preceding his retirement, but from
the standpoint Of what he would have
earned had he been able to fulfill the du-
ties of his position every working day.
In the computation of the length of serv
ice no deduction is made for any absence
due to sickness or accident.
With the relief fund making provision for
its members during the entire period of
their disability, whether from sickness or
accident, and the pension department, the
company has now in operation q system Of
relief for its employees unparalleled in the
history of any similar corporation.
