HIS DEAL WITH ASTOR.
Troubles of Aaron Burr Traced in Old
Records.

Under Aaron Burr and his brilliant
daughter, Theodosia, Richmond Hill
became the most famous place Of hos.
pitality in New York, says Burton J.
Hendrick. Talleyrand, Jerome Bona
parte and Louis Philippe were enter
tanned there John Jacob Aston, how
ever, was not charmed by its literary
and political associations, or its nat
ural beauty. But he did see that the
city was inching up to Richmond Hill,
and that it would soon be needed for
building lots. Richmond Hill, too.
was heavily mortgaged-the mort
gage payable in July, 1904. About
this time Burr became involved in his
quarrel with Hamilton. His letters
to Theodosia show that the sale of
Richmond Hill was the only possible
way Of forestalling ruin. So, as his
mortgage became due, and just one
month before the Hamilton duel, AS
tor bought the place for 100000. Tn
questionably this money facilitated
Burr's fight; perhaps it was used, who
knows, in his wild Southwestern
scheme? Burr returned to New York
after his miserable wanderings in Eu.
rope, but never succeeded in rehabil-
itating himself. His old law clients
stunned him; his former friends ig-
nored him; the only faithful ones
were his creditors, Among these was
Astor, who acquired, piece by piece,
all that wss left of Richmond Hill.
Between the lines of the moldy real
estate records of New York We can
trace the wretchedness of Aaron Burr.

a True Sacrifice

sum OF $50 for it. He disposed of it
In Paris for 5000, to a coiffeur who
in turn sold it to the lady for tho
sum mentioned above. One wonders
whether the girl in Normandy ever
heard OF the last sum paid for her

A COSTLY BLAZE

situated on Main street below the
Merchants National bank, was con-
sumed by fire.
This was the old "Regulator" for
merly owned and occupied by Senator
Capser, and was the oldest business
building in the city.
The fire was discovered about
6 O'Clock P. NJ. The fire department
responded promptly to the alarm but
the flames had gained such Roadway
that by the time of their arrival they
could not save the building or it's
contents.
The fire burned fercely in the
interior amidst the stock stored there
and the firemen found great difficulty
in reaching the source of confagration.
At one time it was thought the
flames were under control but they
burst forth again on the inside and
were soon beyond control and
practically all it's contents were con.
summed.

house by the Keller Manufacturing
company and the w. S. Dean Agricul.

A Tribute to Mrs. Greene From the
Gradatim Club.

The news of Mrs. Greene's death
came as shock to her many friends
in Sank Centre. 1t seemed doubly
sad that her death should occur while
on the journey to San Diego, Cal,
where it was hoped the change of
climate would prove beneficial to her
impaired health. Mrs. Greene has
been an invalid for several years. The
business troubles that neceisitated the
closing of their book store, was a
great blow to her, from which she
never recovered.
She was woman of fine mind and
warm heart. Her death is personal
loss to each member of the Gradatim
club of which she was an efficient and
valued member. The first meeting
for organization was held in her room
over their store, and she was ever
willing to aid with advice and help
any member who came to her-freely
lending reference books of which her
personal library contained great
many. She was an authority on pro-
nunciation of both English and French
words, and her place can never be
filled. At a recent meeting the follow
ing resolutions were passed.
Resolutions adopted on the death of
our loyal fellow worker, Mrs. Greene.
Realizing the great and irreparable
loss that has come to us in the death
of our dear Mrs. Greene, we, the
members of the Gradatim club, adopt
the following minutes:
We found in Mrs. Greene friend,
loving and true.
Her departure has taken from us a
most faithful and untiring helper and
we gratefully remember the never
failing interest with which she entered
into our work.
Her kind, unselfish character was
ever source of inspiration and we
feel that something good and beauti-
full has gone out of our lives.
The memory of her presence is to us
a rich legacy.
As a society we hope to follow
onward toward the high ideals she
ever kept in view.
We sincerely mourn her loss.
We extend our sympathy to her
family.

THE GRADATIM CLUB
Celebrates it's Tenth
Annual At Home.

In response to a cordial invitation
from the president, Miss Marion
Lewis, the members of the Gradatim
club. with their invited guests, drove
out to ''Willow Lane" farm on We'd
nesday afternoon where Mrs. William
Lewis, Miss Marion Lewis and Mrs.
Harry Lewis welcomed them to the
spacious farm home in their usually
hospitable manner. Promptly at 8
O'Clock the program for the afternoon
was begun, which was entirely from
the works of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
Browning, preceded by an able paper
by Mrs. Oehler on the life of the
Brownings. Dainty copies of the
program were prepared by Mrs. Lewis
and distributed to all present. The
entertainment proved enjoyable to all.
At the close of the literary program
small tables were placed in the rooms
around which the company gathered,
and then followed a lunch such as
only the Lewis family know how to
prepare. The club colors, white and
green, were carried out in all the
arrangements, extending to the ice
cream and candies.
After lunch the company enjoyed
themselves strolling about the beauti-
full grounds. The day was perfect,
the ride out and back treat, and on
the whole the tenth annual at home
was pronounced the "best of ALL" A
rising vote of thanks was given to
the president, Miss Lewis, to her
mother and family, for their kindness
and hospitality.
The annual business meeting will
be held next "Wednesday with Mrs.
DR.. Lewis, which closes the years
