Beau BrummeI Clothes and Bach

to Win His Cause.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 19.-Per-
sonal pulchritude and unusually
smart habiliments. heightened by a
bachelors button and an ingratiating
manner, failed to win for Assistant
District Attorney Maxwell McNutt,
in his appeal to the jury of women
which tried Mrs. Bertha J. Williams
on an extortion charge to-day. After
celebrating one hour and S. min
utes, the jury, the first in the his
tory Of the world composed of wom-
en- to hear a felony case, brought
in verdict of acquittal.
"Of course she said she did what
she did, but we didn't think when she
said she did it, she meant she had
meant to do it," said one Of the jury
women.
Hence, Mrs. Williams, attired in a
fetching Milan hat and a neat white
serge tailored suit, much scrutinized
by the jurywomen, made discreet os-
culatory advances to her benefactors,
and the incident was closed
Mrs. Annette Robinson, also ar
mOred in attractive feminine FILINGS,
was the complaining witness in the
case. She accused Mrs. williams of
having written her a letter April s,
attempting to extort $3.50 in return
for the delivery of a trunk said to
have contained certain evidence
which, according to the letter. would
have embarrassed Mrs. Robinson, had
it fallen into the hands of the po-

NATION FINALLY
REFUSES BURR'S
PENSION PLEA
United States Decides After 79
Years lust to File Request
in National Museum.
By JONATHAN WINFIELD.

WASHINGTON, July Is.-After
some delay-79 years, to be more or
less exact-the United States Gov
eminent has decided on a final action
on Aaron Burrs application for a
pension. The Government proposes
10 put the application in the Ma
tional Museum. This is a patriotic
and quite inexpensive method Of dis
posing Of formal application for
money.
Exhibited in glass incloscd case
in the museum. the papers may rest
peacefully and indefinitely, telling
future generations that in his last
days Burr was considerably hard
up This is a fact not generally
known But if future generations
happen to be observant they may
notice that the papers show Uncle
Sam to be bit tardy in matters of
pensions.
Papers Valuable Historically.
Historically, the papers are very
valuable They contain a letter writ
ten by George Washington to Aaron
Burr, which even day-abOut 1876
years after the letter was penned-
| Is in a state Of perfect preservation.
Any student Of values of historical
| relics can tell how much such a
| thing is worth Oncials at the Ma
| uonal Museum declare the letter to
| be Invaluable"
The paper is a bit yellow but it is
| intact The ink Is a trlfie faded, but
| can be read without difficulty even
/ without the aid of glasses And. fur
! thermore the letter reveals a bit of
| WashingtOn's character more clearly
| than a volume Of history. The miss
! i've shows how the general treated
/ with his officers. Burr had written
| 20 Washington requesting leave of
| absence from military duty on ac-
| count Of i'll health and suggesting
| that while off duty his pay may be
/ discontinued
Here is George Washington's re-
! ply to Burr:
Headquarters.
Frederick Goth oct, 1878.
Dear Sir:
/ 81 have your favor Of the gath. You,
/ m my opinion, carry your ideas of
/ delicacv too far when you propose to
/ drop your pay whilc the recovery of
/ your health necessarily requires your
! absence from the service. 1t is not
! customary. and Il would be unjust.
! You therefore have leave to retire
| until your health Is so far re-estab-
/ Gshed as TO enable you to do your
/ duty,
BE pleased to give the Colonel no
! 'icc of this that he may know where
| TO call upon you should any unfore-
| seen eNigeu"y require 1t.
81 am. dear sir,

ing to get some assistance from the
Danish whaleships in North Star Bay.
With boat and sled he fought an al
most unhuman battle and reached
North Star, but too late. The last
ship had gone, there would not be an
other for another year. He appealed
to those ever kindly wild people.
They nursed him as best they could
and aided him to get back north,
aiming to get him back to my camp
at Annoatok. They did. get him back
as far as Etah, only 25 miles south of
my camp, but here FRANKIE was un-
able to 60 another step. He was
sick; he had not had morsel of
civilized food in two months. He lay
down on the rocks and expected to
die.
"While he was lying on those
rocks, two big ships came into that
harbor flying the American flag
FRANKIE was glad; he was happy. He
pulled himself together and went Out
and boarded the ship Roosevelt.
He went up to the galley and asked
for a cup of coffee. That coffee was
refused, but that WASH t the worst, he
was forcibly put off that ship in the
presence of dozen other men. Here
was a sick, hungry, dying man re

five thousand dollars. Here was
thirty-fiv thousand dollars to gain
and Mr.. Peary changed heart. He
called FRANKIE aboard the ship, offered
him a cup of coffee and square
meal and gave him two big goblets
of whiskey. He then called FRANKIE
to his private cabin and there the
following conversation took place:
Mr.. Peary said to FRANKIE, You are
very sick man. If you stay here
you will die. If you go home You
may i've FRANKIE knew that. you
may 90 home on one of these ships,
but before you do so you must turn
