join Sargent in New York. They will
sail to Europe. take the Transsiberian
railway and journey across the great
steppes to that country which is said
to be of all wildernesses the widest
and least known.
John Muir has spent forty years Of
his life in the study of nature. He has
explored all the widest and most mac
cessible places in America, has studied
the forests and hills of Norway and
spent much time in the islands of the
Pacific. His work is recognized among
all the high scientists and literary au-
thorities, and his report of what he
sees in the. east will doubtless add
much to the worlds knowledge.
The trip will consume the better part
Of year, and his journeyings will ex-
tend to Japan, Java and the Philip
pines. Mr.. Muir expects to find in
Manchuria some relations of the Sc
quotas Of California. ''They are known
to exist in Japan" said Mr.. Muir re-
Gently, "but l am satisfied that no
where shall find any trees as large as
our giant redwoods of California
Frederick Leroy Sargent is one of the
most learned botanists of this country.
He wrote SILVA of North America"
an exhaustive work in fourteen enor-
nous volumes, which is regarded as an
authority on the trees of this country.

nous prestige of the act may be due
TO the ancient political hostility to
him among Hamilton's followers can
not easily be determined, yet the
traces of old partisan bitterness seems
ldiscernible. The New York Tribune
declares that that while the act was
Jefferson's the plan was Hamilton's; -
that Hamilton was the first great ex-
pansionist under the constitution; y
that Hamilton was indicated by
Jefferson" and so on.
This attempt, however to divide the
credit between jefferson and a man
who bore no more responsibility in
the affair than an Indian pappoose in
the Louisiana territory, pales in com
parison with the effort of a St Louis
newspaper not long ago to award
the chief credit for the pur-
chase to Napoleon Because
Napoleon, needing money for a
coming war, offered the whole terri
tory for sale, it was argued, he in
itiated the transaction, and, conse-
quently, he should be honored by
Americans with a statue. The de-
feet in such reasoning, points out the
Springfield Republican, is that it
takes two to make a bargain, and
that while the man who sells is re-
sponsible for the sale, the man who
buys. and he alone, is responsible for
the purchase. From the American
standpoint, the Louisiana transaction
was not a sale but a purchase, and
that fact leaves jefferson the man to
be honored at this end of the bargain.
If the French wish to honor Napoie-
on for selling then that is their affair
exclusively.

A MARTYRS DEATH.
Father "Tom' Martin Victim of
 Smallpox.


 Bridgeport, Jan 24.-Rev Thomas F. Martin, who died in SPittsburg yester- day morning of smallpox, was the son of Mir and Mrs M. c. Martin of this city, and was young clergyman of ability. He died as soldier dies. in answer to the call of duty. He con- tracted tho 1oathsome disease while carrying the sacraments to a poor man who was dying of the scourge. rather Martin was sent for by the pa. tlent, who knew and loved the young ieVlte. Although he realized what 1t meant to enter the pest house, which was alive with the germs of the de- testaDle disease, the faithful young priest gladly responded. He had the extreme satisfaction of arriving in tune 10 hear the confession and give the last sacraments to the dying peni- tent. Then Father Martin went among the other occupants of the place who were similarly afflicted, consoIing each.
 lie called again few days later. put each time he did all that medical science prescribes in the way of pre. caution against the scourge. But if nnally overlook him and in most ma. ngnant form. From the first he was resigned, and as he had done for the loWly another young priest did for nm. He was quarantined in the rec tory of St James parish, where he had been assistant to Father Price. Yesterday morning, fortified with all the sacraments of the church, he died , martyr to his duty.
 Father Martins friends here heard the distressing intelligence with sad dened hearts, for they all loved him. He was young man of winning per- sonality and in his thirty-first year He was native of Meriden, but practi- cally all of his life, save his college days, were passed here where his fam fly settled few years after his birth. He was educated in the local public schools and made his classics at Holy Cross having first spent a short time at St Charles college, Ellicott City, Md. He graduated with a degree of bachelor of arts at Holy Cross. and studied theology at Grand seminary, Montreal. Brighton and the Niagara university. About five years ago he was ordained priest and was adopt ed by the bishop of the diocese of Pittsburg. Besides his parents he is mourned by his three sisters, Mrs Pe- ter J. Bediger and Margaret Jane of this city, the latter being teacher at Prospect street school, and Sister Mary Raphael of the Convent of the Visitation at Baltimore. He also leaves one brother, James the local l pharmacist.
 His remains were inferred in the l Catholic cemetery at Pittsburg, it be- l ing impossible to bring them to this | city. Solemn requiem services for the repose of his soul will be held | here later.

BURNS ANNIVERSARY.
Celebrated at City Hall Last Night
 With Dance and Eono


 With Dance and Song.
 The merry notes of the bag pipes resounded throughout the City hall last night and aroused slumbering sweet memories of days never to come again among the lads and lasses of bonnie Scotland who attended in large numbers the eighteenth annual concert and ball of the Burns club The memory of Robert Burns, Scot lands favorite son among the poets, was revered last night as it is each year by the members of the Burns club. But perhaps last nights ami versary differed from previous events of its kind. It was more enjoyable and that is ton of praise.
 The concert program was one of the best which has been offered in this city in some time and was thoroughly enjoyed by the large audience present. The best of Scotch music was ren- dered, there was clever dancing and fine singing. The opening number was the rendition of Bonnie Doon" by the orchestra. It was good opener. A selection on the bag pipes entitled Piper" by William Cameron, was well received as were other se- lections by him. One of the favorites of the evening was Robertson Whyte, tenor, who sang several Scotch songs "Corn Rigs'' and 70, a the airts the wind can blaw.' with a spirit and dash that made the wellxin ring Miss Gertrude F. Smith is the possessor of rich pure voice, of much range which she uses must effectively. She f0 cSv Dnys In night were "Jessie's Dream and "Tam Glen" Edward Wells Beach sang in his usually pleasing style Blue Bells of Scotland'' and Green Grows the Rashes.'' l.. Bovino's cor net solos deserved the hearty applause which they received. Miss May Alex ander is sweet singer whom one loves to hear. She sang char1ningly ''The Lea Rig" and My Nannie's Ava" One of the features of the concert was the dancing of William Cameron and two boys, Masters Craig and Graf. Mir Cameron did the Sail- OTIS Hornpipe in a fine manner while the dancing of the boys was most praiseworthy. They did the double sword dance and all three did the Highland fling. The hit of the even ing was an Irish jig by Master Craig. The accompanist during the evening was A. J. Blakesley The concert was concluded by the singing of "Auld Lang Syne" by all who took part in the concert.
 After the concert dancing was con- 1 menced and continued until the early hours of morning Maton's orchestra l furnished music and Professor Pole was prompter.
