ALEXANDER HAMmFoN's DECEN.
DANTS.

Alexander Hamilton, one of Ameri
cas- greatest statesmen, was born in
the West Indian Island of Nevis, Jan
II, 1857, and died Jan. II, 1904, from
the effect of a duel with Aaron Burr
Hamilton s father was a Scotch mer
chant and his mother a Colored wo,
man.
New York, Feb. 23.-William CASTOR
Hamilton, only surviving grandson of
Alexander Hamilton. died at his resi-.
denee in Creamery Park today, in his
send year Mr.. Hamilton had taken a
conspicuous part in the early life of
New York, and besides being a trustee
of many institutions, and a member of
many clubs and organizations, was an
ameteur artist and an authority on GER
tain phases of steam engineering and
railroad construction.
Three children survive him, among
them William Pierson Hamilton, who
married Juliet Pierpont Morgan, and
Helen NJ. Reinelander, wife of the Rev.
Philip Mercer, Rhinelander, Episcopal
bishop of Pennsylvania
The descendants of Alexander Hamil-
ton, the mulato, are today ranking in
the highest, wealthiest and most aristo-
cratic and refined circles of this
country. When President Washington
made Hamilton his personal friend and
adviser, Secretary of the Treasury, it
was well known that he was a mulato;
for he had been publicly tainted about
the same upon the floor Of the Con-
stitutional Convention. Hamilton in.
augurated the financial system, which
saved the public credit the nation and
gained for him the well merited repu-
tatiOn of the greatest hnaneier Of his
day.
Hamilton would have been long ago,
nationally honored by some lasting and
fitting memorial to his great genius,
his services during the war and in
times of peace, but for the material
ghost of Nevis Island, the dark wo-
man who gave him birth, one hundred
and ffty-six years ago.
This country cannot forgive Hamil-
ton for being a Negro.

quickly as light one. can be- COM
fortably worn on the way to tie bath

TIRED OF HIS pEEvIsHNEss
Millionaire Gently Reminded That He
Was Not Alone In Quest OF
the Missing Link.

A western millionaire of the newly
rich" variety recently came to New
York and one of his first extravagant
purchases was a pair Of diamond
crusted cuff.links. for which he paid
$3.50.
But the pride Of possession lasted
only two days. for one Of the links
became lost. High and low the mil.
lionaire hunted for it. turning the
whole hotel upside down in the
search, but it was not recovered. But
he would not give up the search.
One evening week later, while Civ.
ing dinner party to few friends
and business associates, he recounted
the circumstances Of his loss and con.
cluded by saying:
"Confound 1t; don't understand 1t.
Here I've spent whole week hunt.
ing, for that there missing link. and
still. by crackey, can't find it,
"Oh, cheer up" advised one OF the

Soft Bows or Lingerie.

Fastidious women have long been
tired Of the lingerie garments that are
slotted for baby ribbon in all possible
places. but the touch OF color which
the ribbon gives is introduced by sin
gle soft bows. On the newest French
nightgowns there are two large but.
tonholes to be found at the front and
through these is passed soft wide
ribbon which Is tied in bow. This Is
much less troublesome than threading
ribbons through slots or stitching on

Adjoining the cold storage plant is

are baked each working day about
10000 loaves Of bread. 1900 rolls and
$50 pounds Of cake. The coffee de.
partment, which roasts and sends out
about 100000 pounds Of the roasted

is himself a great coffee drinker. He
personally makes up the formulas for
