and it was at Prospect only that he

too, that in the year 1884 Burr was

CLEARS BURR OF GIRLS RUIN.
Princeton Librarian Explodes an
Ancient Myth.

Princeton, n. IA communication
in the Princeton Alumni Weekly the
other morning by V. Lansing Collins,
reference librarian Of the university,
accounts for the presence of the soli-
tary grave Of Catherine Bullock at the
southeastern corner of the college
campus, and also clears Aaron Burr's
name Of one of the worst stigmas that
has been attached to it. The story
was that Aaron Burr on a wager de-
liberately ruined Miss Bullock. then q
years old; that the young woman died
year later of grief and that she was
buried at her own request on the spot
where her life was blasted This story
has been handed down for years as tbs
explanation Of the grave, and has
spread ali over the country.
Recently the hedge hiding the grave
was removed. and now the old tomb
stone. badly disfgUred. appears Just
above the shrubbery. The following
inscription is on the stone:

Catherine Bullock was the daughter
Of Esther (BayntOn) and Joseph Bull
lock of Philadelphia. She was a con-
sumptive. and as the climate of Prince
ton seemed to be less taxing on her
strength than that Of Philadelphia. she
was accustomed from her childhood to
spend most Of her time at Prospect
visiting her aunt Mrs. George Nor
gan. sister of Mrs. Bullock. Colonel
George Morgan Of revolutionary fame
was the owner of Prospect. which at
that time was one of the model farms
of the country. The climate here could
not however, save Miss Bullock and
after a long illness she died at Pros
pect in June, 1874. and was buried be-

VARYING CONDITIONS
SHOWN IN CROP REPORT

Springfield. Aug. 6.-The weather
during the past week has been warm.
and generally fair and favorable for
farm work, though light showers oc-
Cured over most of the state and
heavy rains in n few localities. Most
of the heavy rain fell in localities
where there had previously been eX-
cessive rains. and made the ground
too wet to permit harvesting to he
carried on advantageously. Haying,
harvesting and threshing have been
pushed rapidly during the week and
great deal of this work has been
accomplished.
Except for occasional local show
ers. the weather continues dry in the
some localities the drouth is becom-
ing serious. Considerable wheat has
been threshed during the week. a
good average yield continues to be
turned out. In many localities of the
central district the yield is very
heavy. In some localities the Yield
of rye was poor. but it was generally
fair to good. Dat harvest is well adj
vanced in the northern district. In
many places it has been completed
and threshing has begun. In many
fields the ground is so wet that the
crop cannot be harvested, and it will
probably be lost The average yield.
however, will be good. In the central
and southern districts a great deal of
the crop has been threshed and good
average yield is being turned out.
Under the favorable conditions of
| the past week corn has made excel
lent progress and the prospect for a
large crop is very favorable. In the
northern and central districts its
condition is very fine, but in the
southern district the prospect is not
so favorable, though a good crop is
anticipated in that district. The dry
weather in some parts of the south
has already caused some damage to
the crop. and it is believed that I'M
less good rains come soon the dam
age will be considerably increased.
The broom corn crop is generally re-
ported to be good. Haying is prac-
tically completed. The yield was fair
to very good, though some of it was
put up in bad condition. Pastures
are generally good, bnt they are be-
coming short in parts of the southern
/ dlSlrlcI- SiOck peas are generally
growing well. As a rule gardens are
in fine condition. Potatoes are gem
orally doing well and promise large
crop. but in many localities they con-
tinue rotting badly in the fields.
There is but little change in the APP
pie prospects. The average crop will
be light. In some localities it is very
poor and in others good. Peaches
are generally scarce. Other fruits
vary from poor to good.

The Kankakee scandal is causing
much comment everywhere. The Bos-
ton Herald says: The people of IL
1inois who are virtuous and potriotic
are now overwhelmed with shame on
account of revelation of disgusting
immoralities practiced on women
wards of the state by brutes who
have charge of their well being in the
asylum for the insane at Kankakee.
The matter reflects upon the admin
istratiOn of Gov. Yates. who has con-
tinued the practice of his predecessor
in putting the state charitable insti-
tutions in charge of political friends
and filling the subordinate places
with the henchmen of party bosses.
for whose character no guarantee is
asked. except a politicians recon-
mendation. Earnest efforts were
made to hide this last shame, for it
is not the first scandal of this admin
istration. But the secret is out

The fame of the medical staff of
the Illinois Y Ray Infirmary, with
DIR. i. Alvin Horne as president, is
positively unmatched in the state by
that of any other body of medical spe-
cialists. There is good reason for this
they cure the most desperate chronic
cases after they have been abandoned
by other physicians as incurable, and
their high professional reputation is
therefore merited.
These physicians treat a certain
class of diseases and confine their
practice to them alone.
They treat and cure all chronic, ner-
vous and organic diseases of both men
and women.
Their methods of diagnosis and
treatment are scientifically in adj
vance of all ordinary methods in med
icine and surgery. They are masters
of all pelvic weaknesses and diseases,
as they affect the male and female,

of their Weekly Financial Review
says:
There is nothing new to be said
regarding the crops. The outlook in
the west is promising, though slight
ly less so than a week ago. Each day,
however, reduces the possibility of
damage, and the agricultural sec
tions of the country seem assured of
"a season of greater abundance and
prosperity than a year agO--a most

The Industrial situation is perhaps
less satisfactory than n year ago.
There is n large demand for manu-
featured products, but strikes and
increased costs of production impose
a set of conditions upon manufac-
turers necessitating policy of eau

ton of commodities is often check
ed by high prices and buyers hold
off in anticipation of recessions in
values. In n few weeks we shall be

Government Facing a Deficit.

Gigantic expenditures authorized
by the recent session of a republican
congress threaten to wipe out the
availa bic cash balance of the United
states treasury. At present this
amounts to $2O5, lac, 372.30. Revenue
receipts. according to the last state
ment of-the treasury, have been $55,-
1882 less than the expenditures dur
ing the four days of August. This
makes the total deficit since July /,
the beginning of the present fiscal
year, 1883, Bali.
Constant and heavy demands are
being made on the treasury TO meet
the appropriations of congress and
the running expenses of the govern.
ment, which it is admitted are not
decreasing. With the ratio of eX-
penditures over receipts constantly
growing as the deficit shows it is but
question of time when the cash
balance will be all gone. Treasury
officials do not like the prospect and
the more they contemplate it. the
more they are disposed to criticise
the policy of Mr.. Gage in spending
while he was secretary over $70,000.-
600 for the redemption of bonds at
the highest price that was ever paid
for government securities. Inc eX-
cess of receipts over expenditures
last year amounted to sol, 2S9, 1915.
From July until November, when he
resigned his portfolio, Secretary Gage
spent about S67 900, 900 in the purchase
of bonds at prices which were subse-
quently known to be higher than it was
necessary to pay for them. He him
self fixed the prices and withheld the
figures from the public until the
sellers of the bonds caused them to
be published.
Before Secretary Shaw had been in
office thirty days he caused an
nouncement to be made that the Gage

program of creating fictitious prices
for government securities would be
abandoned permanently after n date
which he named. Meantime about
$55,OOO,oOO worth of bonds were un-
loaded on Secretary Shaw at Cages
prices.
1t is estimated that Gage caused n
loss to the treasury of at least So ,0O0,-
900 through his scheme of buying
bonds. In view of the fact that there
is a prospect that every dollar of
available cash will be required to tide
the government over the present fis-
cal year Mr.. Cages record as bond

Newspaper PublIshcd at Sea.

The new system of wireless tele-
graphy renders possible the realiza-
ton of the prediction that newspapers
would be published on the ocean lin
ers. They could not, however, be as
much up-to-date or effective as those
published on land. In this respect
they would differ widely from the
famous Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
because it has been proven to be Just
as effective on sea as on land. We
would therefore urge everyone con-
templating an ocean trip to take a
supply with them. 1t is invaluable
as tonic and preventive of sea-sick-
ness. Those who, remain on land
should always keep a bottle of it in
the house to cure heartburn, indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, constipation and
malaria. Don't fail to try it.
