made Il speech in the House of Rep,

destroy these ticks and remove them

a couple Of youngsters at the Zoo were
watching the antics of the sea lions. One
lad was about seven, the other maybe
five years old. They gazetI at the sleek
looking animals as they swan and dived
in the big tank of icy water or dragged
themselves out on the concrete curb sur
rounding the tank.
A sea lion, after an especially dexterous
exhibition of fancy back diving, swim
ming under water and limitations of a
sea serpent, clambered up on the bank,
and, nose in air, began emitting a series
of those raucous eructations which sea
lions seem to think musical The smaller
Of the Riddles looked and listened in
amazement as the dripping beast barked.
Turning to his brother. the little fellow
cried:
"Oh, Buddie, what's he do.ng?
The older lad didn't know any more
about it than his kid brother. but he
wasn't going to allow said kid brother IL

During the last week a woman well
known in Washington society died. BY
strange coincidence her sister. who lived
in New York. died within twenty-four
hours Of the death of the Washington
woman. For more than a decade the two
had been on unfriendly terms and had
neither spoken nor written to each other
A mutual friend of the sisters, meeting
a second mutual friend. spoke OF her
grief at the death of their friends. She
added:
But I wonder what they said to each

rectory. his Office was at 80 Broadway
He was seldom in the city after that,
living almost in retirement on Staten
Island, and there he died. practically
friendless. September IA, 1896. For a
brief period in 1921 his Office was at
28O1a Broadway.
OF the six different offices on Nassau
street. four of the original buildings have
long since disappeared. The Hanover
National Bank covers the site at Mas
sau street, % forms part of the re-
Gently burned Equitable building, Al is
covered by the new Liberty tower. and
"a forms a part of the Raymond build
ing, between Fulton and Ann streets.
The only two places on Nassau street
in which Aaron Burr may have had his
offices are those at Al and 81 Nassau
street. The former near tine Liberty
street corner is the more plausible as it
bears every evidence Of old age. and a
narrow winding staircase is the only
means of access to the three floors above
the street level. The building at 81 Mas
sau is five-StOry structure, north Of the
Liberty tower, but it has been kept in
much better repair than the ancient
shack on the other side of the street.
Some idea of Burrs financial straits
during these years is revealed in a letter
to his son-in-law, Joseph Aston, in 1915,
in which he says:
lat some other time / may give you
in detail a sketch of the sad period which
has elapsed since my return. For the
present it will suffice to say that my
business affords me decent support.
My old creditors, especially the holders
of the Mexican debts came upon me last
winter with fury. / was held to bail in
keeping out of prison for six months
This danger is still menacing. l shall
