Burr's Appearance Described.

George Adams United States district at
torney and afterward United States judge
for Mississippi prepared sketch of Aaron
Burr as the latter appeared at his trial. 1t
was found among his manuscripts and was
presented by his grandson, Mr.. Writ
Adams, to the department of archives and
history at Jackson. 1t reads as follows:
His stature is about five feet six inches;
has a spare meager form, but of elegant
symmetry; his complexion is fair and
transparent; his dress was fashionable and
rich, but not fiashy. He is man of an
erect and dignified deportment-his pres
ence is commandments aspect mild, firm,
luminous and impressive. His physiognomy
is the French configuration; his forehead is
prominent, broad and retreating, indicative
of great expansion of mind, immense range
of thought and amazing eXuberance OF
fancy-but too smooth and regular for
great altitude of conception, and those or
iginal, eccentric and daring alterations of
superior genius. The eyebrows are thin,
nearly horizontal, and too far from the
eye; his nose is nearly rectilinear, too slen-
der between the eyes, rather inclined to the
right side; gently elevated, which betrays
a degree of haughtiness; too obtuse at the
end for great acuteneSs of penetration, bril-
liancy of wit or poignancy of satire, and
too small to sustain his capacious and am
pie forehead His eyes are of ordinary
size, of dark hazel, and from the shade
of his protecting eye-boneS and brows, APP
pear black, they glow with all the ardor of
veneal fire and scintillate with the most
tremulous and fearful sensibility-they roll
with the CELEBRITY and phrensy of poetic fer
vor and beam with the most piercing and
vivid rays of genius. His mouth is large,
his voice is clear, manly and melodious; his
lips are thin, extremely flexible and, when
silent, gently closed; but opening with ia
cility to dstil the honey that triclles from
his tongue. His chin is rather retreatlng

was on the occasion when he eulogized the
late Senator Hawley before the legislature
of Connecticut when the body of the sub

been lifelong friends, and his remarks on
that occasion referred at considerable

COMMODORES FAVOR
OCEAN RACE
COAST YACHTSMEN DISCUSSING
PROPOSED CONTEST BETWEEN
SAN FRANCISCO AND HONOLULU

The San Francisco Bulletin of Sep
TENDER %, says:
The proposition of T. w. Hebron,
commodore of the Hawaii Yacht Club,
to hold an ocean race next season from
this city to Honolulu, has set the ton
CUES of the local tars wagging and will
give them food for thought for some
time to come. Anything that will stir
up the interest in yachting on this coast
is good for the sport, and surely the
proposed long-distance event, if it
comes to an issue, will be a great boom,
The race will also create a tendency
to the building of larger and more
modern type of boats and will intro
duce many of the sea lubbers to ocean
sailing which on the trip between San
Francisco and the islands during the
summer months is most pleasant
There are any number of fine yachts
on this coast capable of negotiating the
2O9O miles between this city and Homo
lulu without any difficulty. Among
them may be mentioned the Lurline,
formerly John d. Spreckels' yacht but
now owned by H. H. Sinclair of Pasa-
dena, commodore of the South Coast
Yacht Club; the Ramona, owned by
Douglas White, also a resident in
Southern California; the Speedwell,
owned by Thomas Jennings commodore
of the Corinthian Yacht Club; Gus
Newell's Lady Ada, j. r. Hanify's
Martha, the schooner Aggie, property
of James V. Coleman; the Mike, Fulton
Berry's 44-footer; the lola, the flag
ship of tha California Yacht Club, and
the White Wings, owned by c. H. Nor
rell of the San Francisco Yacht Club.
1t is intended to hold the deep sea
race about next June. The Hawaii
promotion committee has offered three
magnificent trophies for the contest,
which is expected to create unusual in
terest among the yachtsmen all over
the country. The affair is already be-
ing discussed by prominent members in
Eastern yachting circles and the en-
thusiasm there may result in one or
two Atlantic boats being brought over
to try for the trophy
Commodore Morrow of the San Fran
cisco Yacht Club said; Il think the
ocean yacht race between San Fran
cisco and Honolulu a splendid idea and
hope the promoters will be able to ac-
complish it. Commodore Jennings
also remarked that he would like to
see the race take place, saying: 1T
viii stir up the interest in yachting on
the coast and is a good thing" Com
modore Robert Vincent of the Cali
fornia Yacht Club was likewise inter-
viewed relative to the proposed race.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1905-10-05

Commodore Vincent faVOrs the prOpO-
sition, and stated that in the event
of it coming to an issue will enter his
yawl lola, which with few alterations
could be made to be one of the best
and fastest small sea-going vessels in
this port. The commodore seems to
think it very improbable that any of
the Atlantic racers could be induced
to come to this coast for the race, but
feels certain large entry could be had
from the yachts on the bay, if proper
| trophies are offered and if the event
is held on handicap basis.
In discussing the race Commodore
Habbron said:
For some time we have considered
the question of Offering a handsome
trophy for a yacht race from San
Francisco to Honolulu as it would give
yachting in the Pacific an impetus
which it has never had before. We de-
sire to make Honolulu the yachting
center of the Pacific, as our unique
position enables us to be of service to
yachts cruising in the north and south
Pacific ocean.
The proposed race is going to have
considerable influence on yachting of
the Pacific Coast in future years. Few
yachtsmen are content to sail over the
same waters year after year. 1t gets
monotonous. There must be new cruises
to maintain enthusiasm. Certainly, with
a suitable yacht and time, one would be
hard indeed to please if he didn't enjoy
every moment among our beautiful ISL
10 4,
Last year Commodore Sinclair of
the South Coast Yacht Club visited
us in his schooner yacht Lurline. He
also cruised from Honolulu to Tahiti,
the Marquesas Samoa and Fiji, return
ing to Honolulu again, and after visit
ing Kilauea volcano returned to San
Pedro. To show how safe the trip is,
although he left in February and was
sailing some of the worst months of
the year, he never, as sailors say part
ed a ropes yarn
Il am aware that few of your yachts
here venture off shore, but this is ow-
ing to cold and the fogs, but in a trip to
Hawaii this would only last a few
hours until clear of the coast, We
have no fogs 200 miles from the Pa
cific Coast and the climate is so de-
lightful one can sleep on deck at sea.
The starting time Of the race would be
arranged to get the benefit of moonlight
nights which makes sailing very plea
SAINT in the tropics
Am pleased to find the race is meet
ing with the hearty approval of your
yachtsmen, 1t would seem to me, from

yachts would show up at the starting
line next June. We shall do all we
can to make the visiting yachtsmen
welcome and entertain them while in

The discovery which caused the greater
part OF the trouble, however. was that the

those who signed the petition asking for a
rule had an idea that If they could get the
bill before the House they would be able
to amend II so as TO make il satisfactory

But that Ia not the case. Hence a very
strong opposition TO the bringing in of a

PUBLICATIONS.
There is an aSso-

citation of packers putting up a
product in cans which at present
has the consumption of one can
per capita annually. The article
they can is almost staple, and
they have no competition. Their
problem is this: How to make
more American families use their
article.
Each Gamer in the association
puts up his own brand. The
best way to solve their problem
is to agree upon a common
trademark which will not inter
ferc with their own private brands,
and to raise common fund for
the advertising of the product
under the general trademark.
A tax Of one cent per case OF
the present output would yield
an annual appropriation of twenty
thousand dollars. Twenty thou
sand dollars will buy two full
pages, two half pages and eight
quarter pages in The LADIES

space to teach one million fam

to buy this product at least twice
