HIS BUST NEGLECTED.
Alexander Hamilton Plot at High
zcood Park WeedgrozUn.

1t became known last week that the bust
of Alexander Hamilton and the boulder on
which according to tradition. he rested Whiie
the surgeon was probing for the fatal bullet
OF Aaron Burr, are being almost entirely neg
lected in a tiny weedgrown plot at the edge OF
the Palisades, in what is known as HfghWood
Park, Weehawken, N J.
Credit for directing public attention to this
neglect rests mainly with H. G Schneider. of
Public School No. 10. Eagle-ave. and One-hun-

with the historic bowlder beside 1t. For seVerai
years Frenchman living in a villa opposite
has had permission from Hugh Camp, who owns
the property, to bedeck it with few flowers
from time to time and to keep away would-be
vandals intent on carving their names on the
pedestal and bowlder The inclosure had origl-
naI1y a nadIocked rail around it. but the lock
has long since been broken, and there Is now
little protection of any kind.
ITO paint the flagstaff repair the railing ana
nIant a few flowers inside so placing the spot in
a condition worthy of Hamilton's name ana
