We consulted experts on foreign

iistols Thet Figured
in Affairs of Honor

Apropos of the Nomad's dueling
stories, correspondent, says the Bos-
ton Transcript, sends the following
Dear Nomad-This regarding the
duel between Hamilton and Burr may
be of interest to you:
Some years ago, in passing through
Geneva, n. Y, | was guest of Mr..
Richard Church, an old family friend.
In talking on things of historic inter-
est, Mr.. Church paused and, STOPPING
down, reached under the sofa and re
vealed to my eHpectant gaze a mahog-
any box. On opening the box, he
showed me the original flintl0ck PTS
tolls used in the Hamilton-Burr duel.
Mr.. Church informed me that these
same flintlocks had been used also in
cwo other duels-the WilkesBurr duel
and the Church-Burr duel. Mr.. Rich
ard Church was a descendant of the
opponent (Church) of Burr in the
Church-Burr duel. Mr.. Church showed
me that one of the flintlocks was
broken and informed me this break had
occurred Willie ne WAS Il TAU ia StAOOl-
ing while at play. Mr.. Church has
passed away and l do not know the
present whereabouts of these historic
hintlocks. Perhaps they fell TO his
daughter, who at the time Of my visit
was the wife of Rev. Dr. Hart of st.
Marks church, Rochester, \. Y. Mrs.
Harris mother was one of the Schuy-
lers, and was christened Angeles
Schuyler Church. Perhaps some read
er can give data as to the present
owner of the fiintlock. DAMON
That the dueling pistols used in the
Burr Hamilton affair should also have
served in two other encounters in
which Burr was concerned is a pretty
good indication that Burr kept him.
self supplied with weapons. But in the
Church affair his pistols seem to have
gone to his antagonist. The yeritable
weapon with which Burr killed Hamil-
ton must be valuable possession for
IL collector.

Animal Intelligence

According to William I. Hornaday,
director of the New York Geological
park, the chimpanzee is the most in
telligent of all animals below man.
He can learn more by training and
more easily than any other animal. A
high-class horse is very wise and
capable animal. but this is chiefly due
to its age-long association with man
and education by him. A high-class
dog is the animal that mentally is in
the closest touch with the mind, the
feelings, and the Impulses of man, and
the only one thar can read mans
FEELINGS from his eyes and his facial
expression.
