Making a Hero of Aaron Burr.

From the Chicago Record-Herald.
 A movement is on foot to make a hero of Aaron Burr What is called the Aaron Burr Legion has been formed, with headquarters in Boston, and the ayowed object of rehab. .rtat- ing Burr's reputation. A meeting of the society has just been held in New ark, N J., to commemorate the one hundred and forty seventh anniversary of the once famous and infamous statesmans birth. although he was born on February 6. During the past year or two Burr has figured in several historical novels, and good many biographical articles have been writ ten about him, nearly all apparently for the purpose of making him out to have been a much wronged and sadly misunderstood man.
 It may be that Aaron Burr was as great as some ot his admirers declare he was, and it is possible that he was as heroic as others in their mixtures of history and fiction endeayor to pie ture him. Even so, however, it will probably never be possible to convince a great majority of the American peo- pie that he was not a despicable char acter Aaron Burr's murder of Hamil- ton was crime that certainly brought it's own punishment. The historical novelists have a job on their hands that is likely to be about as big as ever, even when we shall have a smokeless Chicago.

POLICEMEN MAKE
 4 CLEVER CATCH
NEGROES WHO ARE BELIEVED TO HAVE STOLEN BOX OF WATCHES FROM STAND ON TWENTIETH STREET ARE ARRESTED.

On charges of stealing about fifty watches, valued at something over sJO0 Tom Diggs and seburn Mark were ar rested yesterday afternoon by Policemen Dlsheroon and Mullin. The charge is grand larceny.
 The negroes were arrested on Eigh- teenth street and Second avenue, and three of the watches were recovered. The case will be tried before Judge Feagn this morning in the Police court.
 About two weeks ago the watches were stolen from a Jew who runs a small stand on Twentieth street near First avenue. He acarries a large line of inexpensive watches, jewelry collar buttons, etc. He was packing his cases to close his stand late at night and placed all his watches in a wooden box. He set this on the ground beside him and turned to pack some other articles.
 When he turned around the case con- taining the watches was gone and there was no one near. No one saw the watches stolen, and the man was without clue. The police have been working on the case ever since. and these two negroes were caught through attempts to dis pose of the watches. It is believed that the remainder of them will be located and recovered

Something for the Baby.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 The Swiss who has invented an auto matic baby nurse may be termed a pub lie benefactor. but he will not be entitled to niche in the hall of fame until he shall have made a number of necessary improvements in his apparatus.
 In it's present shape the invention may be attached to either a cradle or a baby carriage. When a child cries the agi- tation of air waves operates on graph ophone. which sings lullaby, while simultaneously is released clockwork which rocks the little one. If the crying stop the air waves cease, and the music and rocking some to an end.
 There are circumstances in which this invention will prove highly useful, no doubt, and, if the average baby were so soothed by lullaby and q little rock ing nothing more could be desired.
 But. as all people of experience know, there are little wants and pains incident to babyhood which can not be supplied or relieved by air vibration or clockwork. There are times when the baby demands something more than music and notion although these may be employed fre- quently between 3 midnight and ] a. m. as useful auxlliaries.
 However, in the invention of the Swiss we have basis for future improvements. If he can devise some means whereby air waves, in addition to working the graphophone and the rocker will put an automatic back-patter in operation, reach for the peppermint. warm the milk bottle, apply it properly, and at the same time create soporific influence in the room which will act upon the nerves of the child's parents. his machine will jump at once into universal favor

Breechloading in artillery and small arms is popularly supposed to be an invention of the middle of the last century, but such is by no means the case. In a Dublin gunsmiths shop is on view a breechload- Ing rifle offered to the British war office at the close of the eighteenth century, and rejected. as it was considered to need too much ammunition.
