HIS DEAL WITH A8TOR,
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 Astor 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. I'm
questionably this money facilitated
Burrs flight; 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 rehahil-
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 was left of Richmond Hill.
Between the lines of the moldy real
estate records of New York we can
trace the wretchedness Of Aaron Burr.

Florida and Cuba, says the Scientific

neck were stretched to its full length
the bird would tower above the head
of an ordinary man.

The first plumage is grayish white.
and passes through various tints of
pink, rose. carmine or vermilion to
the full scarlet of the adult, which
reaches it's deepest shade on the
wings. Several years are necessary
to perfect the final gaudy plumage.

Rice as a Sieepinu Potion.

"If people would eat plenty of rice
they would not need drugs to make
them sleep" said the drug clerk, paus-
sleeping pption for woman. There
is much said just now about rice as
a strengthening food. but few Amer
leans know that it has soporific pow
ers. If properly cooked it has. Rice
should be washed many times, until
the water no longer appears milky.
1t should then be soaked few hours,
salted and boiled rapidly about thir-
ty minutes. When cooked in this
way it can be eaten each day with
relish, and the person who eats it
sleeps. and dreams not at all."-New

Ms. III. ~iohf

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is
kind Of dyspepsia that is caused by
arrangement of the female organism.
and which. while it causes disturb
ance similar to ordinary indigestion,
cannot be relieved without medicine
which not only acts as a stomach tonic.
but has peculiar uterine-tonic effects
also.
As proof Of this theory we call at
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright. Brooklyn, N. Y. who was
completely cured by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
For two years l suffered with dyspepsia
which so degenerated my entire system that
was unable to attend to my daily duties. l
felt weak and nervous, and nothing that ate
tasted good and it caused disturbance in my
stomach. l tried different dyspepsia cures,
but nothing seemed to help me. was ad-
vised to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound a trial, and was happily surprised
to fin that it acted like fine tonic, and in a
wdays began to enjoy and properly digest
my food. Ny recovery was rapid and in
five weeks was a we'll woman. i have rec
commended it to many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali-
fed endorsement, or has such record OF
cures of female troubles, as has Lydia
E. Pinkhsm's Vegeta BILE Compound.

"duffnuts." Lillian thought she had
heard of every kind of nuts from CO.
coanuts to grape nuts, but "duffnuts"
had certainly not been among their
number. She inquired OF her mother
what kind of nut "duffnut" might
be, but mother insisted she had made
some mistake in the word, for no
such nuts existed. Lillian went for
her book in which the contested word
appeared. Mother had hearty laugh
at Lillian's expense when the word
pronounced "duffnuts" turned out to
be spelled "doughnuts."

BEAUTY OF IRISH MAIDEhs.
Many Reasons to Account for Their
UndeniabIe Charm.

The maidens of the Emerald Isle
are famous for their beauty, and the
winners of nearly all beauty compe-
tluons either come from Ireland or
else have Irish blood in their veins,
says a writer. They owe much Of
their loveliness to the moisture of the
climate and the simple, healthy way
in which they live. Plain, wholesome
fare and the use OF rain water for the
wash basin, are bound to have good
effect on the complexion. while the
free, outdoor life they lead gives the
skin natures own roses and the peach
bloom of health The bare feet of
the peasant girls become enlarged. it
is true, and their hands may be
roughened by hard work, but these
same hands are generally shapely
and the ankles above the feet well
shaped and neat. Where can one see
such lovely eyes as in Ireland?
Whether dark blue, gray or brown.
they have a beauty of their own and
have often formed the theme in song
and story.

A True Sacrifice,

A society woman in Paris. who will
not publish her name, is now the DOS.
SCISSOR Of beautiful plat of golden
hair for which she paid $500 This
plait has a romantic history. It orig
inally belonged to a young girl of
Normandy who, to pay family debt
and save her father from disgrace,
sold her unusually fine hair to a hair
dresser, who gave her the magnificent
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 the
sum mentioned above. One wonders
whether the girl in Normandy ever
heard Of the last sum paid for her
sacrifice.

Japanese Women.

On the whole, the Japanese consid-
er that a woman should not exceed
feet in height; should have COM
paratively fair skin and be well de-
veloped; should have long, thin and
jet black hair. an oval face, with a
narrow straight nose, rather large
eyes, nearly black. think eyelashes; a
small mouth, hiding behind red full
lips, even rows of small teeth; ears
not altogether small, from which the
hair should grow in the circular of
Fujiyama shape. that shape recalling
the truncated cone of the famous vol
cano. Add to these the modesty,
sweet humility and gentle submission
which the Japs deem essential in their
womankind, and which long centuries
of practice have instilled into them
pretty thoroughly-and the result
might well be very interesting and
adorable little creature.

We believe that polygamy can
never be stamped out of the
United States until it is made a
crime against the Federal law of

an amendment to the Constitu-

prohibiting polygamy. We also
favor the unseating of Mr.. Smoot,
of Utah, as a member of the
United States Senate, on the
ground of his belief in polygamy
and the giving of his highest all
legiauce to an authority other
than the government of the

to sit in the chief law making

PREAMBLE
Looking unto God. our Father, to
aid us in every righteous pur-
pose we hereby declare our ad-
herence to the following princi-
pies:
TOTAL ABSTINENCE AND PROHIBIT
y TON.
Viewing the subject, temper
ance, from its ethical, moral,
scientific and financial aspect, we
affirm our belief and total absti-
nence for the individual, protec-
ton andprohibition for the COM
munity. We believe that prohi-
bition is the logical and practi-
cal means of dealing with the
rum traffic. We rejoice in the
movement in some of of our coun-
ties to bring domestic wines uu-
der such high license as is beiiev-
ed will become prohibitive.
DIsPENsARIEs:
From careful observation and
reliable satisfies as to the results
of the dispensary system, we
believe that it is even more de-
!. structive TO the temperance SEN
timent of community than
an open bar-room. Apparently
clothed ia responsibility from
being operated by the municipal
1ity, it is binding the consciences
of good citizens, while doing the
deadly work of the open saloon.
Believing the dispensary to be
the greatest hindrance to the
temperance cause in our STATE,
we pledge ourselves to strive to
defeat the establishment of dis
pensaries by every honorable
means. and increase prohibition
territory as fast as possible.
PURITY.
Believing that the home il the
citadel of the nation, we insist
upon a single standard of morals
that shall be equally binding up
