had been discovered, and that he was
liable to arrest for treason, he crossed
to the east bank of the Mississippi
river with a single attendant on his
way to the Gulf Coast, where he hoped
to embark on a British vessel for for

In February, 1907 Burr was again ar

under guard to Richmond, Va, where
he arrived March 20. and was soon
brought to trial for high treason be-

broken a less stoical heart. In June,
1912, exactly four years after he had
left New York, he returned to that

AARON BURR AS VICE PRESIDENT.
His Duel with HamiIton-And the
Concluding Days of His Career.


Milton Reeve in Grams Magazine.
With a keen insight into Burr's char
acter, and with a remarkable preset
ence of his future career. Hamilton de-
ciared that Burr was "a Catiline, bank
rupt beyond redemption, far more cum
ming than wise. With great apparent
GOODNESS, he is the most sanguine man
in the world. He thinks everything
possible TO adventure and persever-
ance" A serious charge against Burr
in this contest. and one which did
much to injure his standing in after
years, was that he intrigued with his
political enemies, the Federalists, to
secure their votes in the House. This
charge Is not clearly sustained by the
facts, but IL was generally credited.
Fooled in his ambition to secure the
highest place in the government, he
accepted the second with his usual self
poise, and presided over the Senate
with grace and dignity Near the close
of his term occurred the famous trial
before the Senate of Judge Chase, over
which Vice President Burr presided
with the dignity and impartiality OF an
angel, but with the rigor of a demon,
as a contemporary reported. In taking
his leave of the Senate at the close of
his term he made an eloquent fare
we'll address. which strangely Impress
ed that dignified body and drew tears
from many auditors. During the term
of his vice presidency he lived when in
New York city in extravagant style,
keeping a French cook and large
retinue Of servants. This lavish expen-
diture, added TO his reckless use OF
money in rewarding political services
and aiding needy applicants, entailed
upon him heavy embarrassments. To
relieve himself of these he sold all OF
his splendid suburban estate at Rich
mond Hill, except the mansion and a
few acres around IL, TO John Jacob AS
tor for $4,000. Even this sum, prince
ly for those days. was soon expended
and he again found himself heavily in
debt.
The summer of 1904, the last Of Aaron
Burr's tenure of Office, was marked by
a tragic event which, more than any
that had preceded II, turned the cur
rent of his destiny and confirmed its
downward course-his fatal duel with
Alexander Hamilton. That eminent
statesman had been for years, as we
have seen, his most determined and
formidable opponent, ever ready with
untiring persistence TO block the path
OF his political aspirations. When Burr
discovered that enemies, inside as well
as outside Of his party, had succeeded
in cutting off all his hopes OF renomi-
nation for the presidency, he turned 10
his state and appealed 10 its people for
election to the governorship. Again
the great influence Of Hamilton was
exerted against him. and Morgan Lew

iority. whatever may be said Of Bars

SAYS JUDGE Is PREJUDICED.
kidnaper Callahan Seeks Change OF
Venue at Omaha.

omaha, Neb, Oct. 2s.-James Gala
han, the alleged Cudahy kidnaper,
seeks a change of venue for his trial
for perjury and has filed his motion in
support of it. He alleges that Judge
Baker cannot give him a fair and inn
partial trial, because of positive opin-
ions heretofore expressed regarding
Callahan and by reason of strong pref
udice in the matter.
In the affidavit filed in support of
the motion, Callahan recites the scor-
ing administered by Judge Baker to
the jury when the verdict of not gull
ty was returned in the robbery case,
and telegram later received by
the judge from Godfrey L. Cabot
Of Philadelphia and the judges reply
thereto. both of which Judge Baker
gave to the press at the time. The Ba-
ker telegram, as set forth in the aft1-
davit, was sent to a Pittsburg official
and was as follows:
Omaha, Neb., April 80, verdict vi
cious-lamentable. Will direct prose-
cution on charge not included in the
one tried; new jury-Benjamin S. Ba-
ker"
1t is further alleged that inasmuch
as Judge Baker has been subpoenaed
as a witness by the state in the case
to be tried. he ought not to be the trial
judge in the case.

rious individual if he did not do so.
Yet the fear of notoriety and the pre-
JUDGE against proprietary remedies
keep many men from recommending
Peruna, even when they have been
practically snatched from the grave by
using it. Yet in spite Of all these
things, men of high and low station
are enthusiastically praising Peruna in
public print and private conversation.
Hon. Edward G. Wade, of the United
States Census Department, is one Of
the men in high station who believes
that the whole world ought to know
the virtues Of Peruna. Having been
cured himself his gratitude is so great
that he is willing to use every hor-
orable means to let others know 1t. No
other remedy in the world is making
such a multitude of different cures.

seems n certainty.
Fall River, Mass, Oct, ga meet
INC of the textile council, at which
ali the unions in the city We're repre-
santAd. was held tonight, the letter of
the manufacturers refusing an. ad-
vance in wages being discussed at
length. The council decided that it
would leave the matter of strike en-
tirelv in the hands of the unions, which
action is in line with their previous
denomination. 1t was decided to hold
general meetings of all the unions next
Wednesday night, at which time the
letter of the manufacturers will be
read and action taken. 1t is claimed
there is but little doubt that this ac-
tion will be a vote to strike. Then the
strike will begin on the following Mon
day morning.
There is a strong sentiment here
against a strike owing to the effect it
will have on all classes of business,
and many at present believe that it
will not materialize. The manufactur-
ers do not take this view, however,
and believe the operatives will strike.
The labor leaders tonight said they
had no idea other than that the I'M
ions would vote to strike. 1t is posi-
Bile that the spinners union may vote
not to strike in view of the similar
action taken by them before the post
ponemeht of the strike. This, however,
will have no bearing upon the action
of the other unions, as it has been de-
cided that in case four of the five un-
ions vote to strike the vote shall be-
come operative.
