PAPERS OF
BURR To Be DISPLAYED
Application Has Been on File
In Bureau Since 1894.

Washington.-Franklin X. Lane. sec
rotary of the interior, has offered the
application OF Aaron Burr for a pension
10 the National museum. He wrote TO
Charles ID. Walcott, secretary OF the
Smithsonian institution, In charge OF
the museum, saying that the applica-
ton should be on public view instead
Of In the files OF the bureau Of pen
sions, where IL has been since 1884.
There are four pages TO the applica-
ton, and Ii is In as good a state of
preservation as IL IL had been written
a month ago. Mr.. Burr wrote on both
sides of the paper, which is legal size,
setting forth that he quit the army
with the rank OF colonel, that he was
enlisted In the army In ITS, when
eighteen years old, and that at the
time OF the application be was seventy
eight.
He recites that he was made lieuten-
that his health became impaired and
that he made several attempts to resign
on that account, and his resignation
was accepted conditionally and with
protest by General Washington. Be
fore the resignation took effect, the ap-
plication says, Colonel Burr was per
suaded to undertake the destruction of
a British blockhouse on the Bronx riv-
er, which he accomplished, and then
was persuaded to delay his resignation
until 1871.
The signature is modestly placed In
the right hand corner of the applica-
ton and reads. "A. Burr"

SNAKES ovERRUn HOME.

Glendale, lathe premises Of VII
liam Horton, near this place. are In
tested with snakes to such an extent
that he and his family are in danger Of
being driven from their home. The
snakes are a spotted variety Of blue
ace from two to four feet long.
Last summer Mr.. Horton had q SINH
lar siege and killed nearly . hundred
Of the reptiles
The chief source Of the snakes seems
to be the family well. which stands

family has for many years drawn its
water for drinking purposes. The ser

Money More Attractive Than Music.
Hundreds OF section hands and men

INDIANS DO TURKEY TRor
Young Braves Abandon War Dances
for Modern Steps.

Reno, New, July ia thousand
shoshone Indians are gathered at
Lee, Elko county, for the annual FIVE
day fete, which is celebrated because
game is abundant and fishing is
good. While the old tribal rites are
observed there is one innovation and
that a very modern one.
The tribal dance has given way 10
the turkey trot. Tomtoms are rele-
gated to the background; no snake
dances are seen no weird songs sung.
Instead, the strain of "Hitchy Koo"
and The Robert e. Lee" are filing
the air. The older men may grunt
their disapproval, but the younger
generation is progressive.

Secretary Houston, DIR. Carver and

DISCRIMINATION is the natural and Of

to await the end
The doe was first seen by the train
men as she swan Moose creek and
crossed the rails of the New York
Central railroad a few miles below
Clearfield. At that time the cat was
not In sight, but the doe was evidently
very frightened. After the freight
train had rounded a sharp curve about
a quarter Of a mile from where the
doe was first seen the engine driver
saw the animal emerge from the woods
with a giant cat clinging to her back.
For one instant the doe, on seeing
the train laundering toward her, hest

TO PILOT AIpSH|p
OVER SEA IN 1915
Count Zeppelin Himself May
Direct Atlantic Flight
FOR PANAMA EXHIBITION.
According to Plano, Two Machines Are
to Be on View at San Francisco Ex-
position, u 10 said-Fiight to United
States, II Is Estimated, Will Take
Three Days.

Count Zeppelin Is seriously planning
TO drive n Of his airships across the
Atlantic, according Il private advices
received in New York lately by an
a%eronautic authority. The news is
made more dramatic because of the
fact that the letters shy that Count
Zeppelin himself viii pilot the huge
ship If his health, II s~eventy-seven
years, continues to remain good.
The report, which originates I'm n
highly reliable source, says the trip
win be made In the hummer OF 1915,
by which time the engineers at the
great Zeppelin works at Friedrichs-
hafen expect to have completed an air
ship twice the size OF the present Yep
pelins. The ship Is to be 1000 feet
long and fifty-two feet beam, with FIVE
TO six motors. and the time estimated
for the ocean passage is three days.
The plan contemplates that the air
ship will follow the ocean steamship
lane, so that the air craft will be In
continuous wireless communication
with ocean vessels I'm case of emer-
gency.
Airship's Powers Known.
DIR. Colsman, director of the German
Airship Navigation company, which
operates the passenger Zeppelins In
Germany. has announced that the ra-
dius OF the Zeppelin airship is now
known SC definitely, owing to its con
servation system for retaining It's gas,
that there is no longer any doubt .of
the airshIp's ability 10 cross the At
lantic.
The same information says II Is prac-
tically assured that at least two Yep
peIln airships win be sent TO the Pan
anna exposition at San Francisco by
way of the ocean and overcontinental
flight. Zeppelin engineers, II Is said,
will visit the United States this year
20 test the atmospheric currents and
decide ON the best route across the
continent and to select bases FOR re
punishment Of the airships en- route I'm
case the heat of the American plains
has a more powerful effect on the ships
gas supply than over the plains OF the
upper Rhine valley.
Zeppelin May Come Here.
Count Zeppelin, so the private cor
respondence says, may come 20 the
United States with his engineers.
Some time back the count denied a
similar report that he was contemplate

ocean.
Expert aeronauts In this country who
have visited Germany and have been
passengers on the Zeppelins and are
acquainted with many of the COM
manders Of the Zeppelin airships and
members Of the technical staff have re-
turned here, convinced that the devel-
opment OF the Zeppelin airship has
very nearly approached the long ex-
pected perfection that would enable 1t
to traverse the ocean.
