LITERARY GOSSIP.

After reading Mrs Atherton's account
Of Aaron Burr as he appears in her novel
The Conqueror." which is based on the
life of Alexander Hamilton, one is not sur
prised to find that some Of the old Colonial
houses with which he was identified and
which are still standing. have the reputa-
tiCn of being haunted. Commodore Thomas
Truxton's old house at Cranbury, \. j.,
to which Burr fled after he had slain Ham
ilton, has IA secret panel which leads To Il
bedroom which again is approached by
winding stairway leading away from the
entrance hail up TO the third story
1t was in this row that Burr
hid for two o. three weeks after the
duel. There is much local lore as to the
di9asters which happened continually for
the next sixty years to occupants OF the
house-uncanny deaths. The spell was not
broken until the original wings of the house
were moved by supersttious owner. TO
the opposite side OF the street, and the fine
old mansion has for the past quarter Of a
century been the center of a happy home.
That such reputation should cling for
many years, is an index of the keenness
of the reaction of popular feeling which fol-
lowed the death of Hamilton. The fury
of the populace and the scenes at Hamil-
tons funeral are well described by Mrs.
Atherton in her novel
The "reminiscences of Miss Clara Morris,
published in this country by Mcclure, Phil
lips & Co, under the title Life on the
Stage" have created quite a furore among
the British critics, who almost unanimous
ly regard the book as the best dramatic
autobiography eXtant. In almost every re-
view one finds the mournfu inquiry, why
didn't she come over here and give US
chance to see her act?' Miss Morris's act
