Long, voluminous white cotton dresses reaching to the ankle show baggy trousers underneath, which, ending in slippers with upturned tues, give them somewhat the appearance of Turkish women. Over the head is thrown a long cloak generally green, through which the arms are never passed, hanging down over the shoulders. By this cloak hangs a tale, historical and interesting. Once upon a time a king of Korea invited the officers of his army to a banquet in the palace at Seoul, in complete ignorance that a military conspiracy, aimed at his throne and life, was afoot. The conspirators, who were among the guests, resolved to seize their opportunity to murder the king during the progress of the banquet, deposited their large military cloaks in an ante-chamber and took their places in the hall where the Snow Amid the Roses Although California is the land of flowers, to which snowblowing, except in the mountains, generally is forbidden, exceptions to the rule may be compelled. Such an exception, during the past winter or rainy season, was witnessed in San Jose. One of the stage drivers to and from Mount Hamilton brought from there a barrel carefully packed with snow, and presented it to the pupils of the Grant school in the garden city. Then the fun began. Most of the children had not seen snow before except on the distant mountain summits. They wanted to snowball, but they didn't know how, and applauded the problematively. And—there is the crowning absurdity of the situation—some of the teachers didn't know how to teach them. Although they were adults, never before had they come in contact with snow.

THE·BURR-HAMILTON DUEL ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO Tre:mendous Effect Produced by the Tragedy at Weehawken—History of the Pistols Used Is an Interesting One. AARON BURR'S HOME BURR'S HOME SPOT WHERE HAMILTON FELL One hundred years ago, exactly one week after his active participation in the Fourth of July celebration in New York city, Alexander Hamilton was shot in that memorable duel with Aaron Burr. Burr now remains of the fatal field which, more than anything else, has made the name of Washington historic in the amnesia of the 1814. On was on July 11, 1804, that the two brilliant men, separated only by the murderous distance of ten paces, leveled pistols at each other, awaiting the word to fire. Only one shot was fired by each. Burr's, aimed directly at his antagonist, inflicted a mortal wound, while Hamilton's, as was ascertained the day after, passed above Burr, the bullet lodging in the brain of the victim. Dr. David Hosack, one of New York's most eminent physicians, attended the dying man. Hamilton AARON BURR'S HOME SPOT WHERE HAMILTON FELL. was rowed at once across the river and taken to the spacious home of William Bayard, in old Greenwich village, where he died about 2 o'clock on the following day, July 12, 1804. The prominence of the combatants and the tragic ending of the meeting directed public attention not only to this duel, but to dueling in general, as had never been done before in the United States. The practice was common a century ago. Alexander Hamilton's eldest son, a young man but 20 years old, was killed upon him when three field years before his father received his death wound. The pulpit and, to some extent, the press inveighed against the custom as unworthy of a civilized community, but it remained for the Burr-Hamilton duel to arouse public sentiment so strongly against this method of averaging insults that the practice was never afterwards regarded in so honorable a light. It is difficult to imagine at the present day the effect produced by the duel, not only in New York city, but throughout the entire country. Political feeling in those years was intensely bitter, but, in the end, the duel had been of such recognized value that his death and the manner of its occasion widespread mourning. A wave of almost universal exerciation burst over Burr. Although vice president of the United States, he had been out of favor in his own party ever since the election of Jefferson, late in 1800. Jefferson and Burr each received seventy-three ballots in the political electoral vote. A week the house of representatives balloted on the question, and Burr was accused of intriguing to defeat Jefferson, the logical candidate of his party. To repair his waning political prestige, Burr secured the nomination for governor of New York in 1804. Opposed to him was Morgan Lewis, the candidate of the Federalists, was a bitter fight for the nomination against political extinction. Hamilton was a strong supporter of Lewis, and when the latter won, Burr, after an interchange of letters regarding certain statements made by Hamilton, sent a formal challenge. The fact that the two men were to meet on the Weehawken dueling field was known to but few in New York. It was about 7 o'clock in the morning of July 11 that the duel was fought, and, although Hamilton was immediately brought back to New York, the afternoon papers of that date make no mention of the occurrence. On July 12 in the Commercial Adver THE GRANGE, HAMILTON'S RESIDENCE. tiser, occurs the first notice of the affair: "We stop the press to announce the melancholy intelligence that General Hamilton is dead. He expired about 2:30 o'clock." On the following day and for several days thereafter the newspapers apologize with wide black borders on all of their pages. The newspapers in this city, Boston and other cities did the same as soon as the news was received, for, dependent upon stage coaches for information, many of the outlying towns did not hear of Hamilton's death until after the funeral in New York. The funeral was held on Saturday, July 14, and Hamilton was buried where his remains lie in New York. Practically the entire city went into mourning Business was suspended, for days the flags were at huffman, and hundreds THE GRANGE, HAMILTON'S RESIDENCE. of citizens were crepe for thirty days. Services commemorative of Hamilton were held all over the country. Scores of orations were delivered by the president, and he said that not since the death of Washington had such universal mourning been seen. William P. Van Ness, who later became judge of the Southern district of New York, by appointment of President Madison, acted as Burr's second, and he afterward published a detailed statement of the duel, in which he claimed that Hamilton fired first. He also argued against the widespread disapproval of Burr, amounting to ostracism. Burr himself was amazed at the opprobrium heaped upon him. Never before had the popular ill will been so denunciatory for the surviving duellist. Burr himself had fought a duel on the same spot in 1799 with John B. Church. Neither was injured, needed a bullet through his coat. For a few days Burr continued to go about his business in his usual way and received his friends at his famous home, Richmond HILL, now totally obliterated, but which stood for years at about the function of Varkick and Charlton streets, New York. Finally he met the murderer, who indicted for the murder of Hamilton, but the indictment was quashed about three years later. The pistols with which the fatal fuel was fought are now owned by Maj. Richard Church of Rochester. He is a grandson of John B. Church, to whose house the body of Hamilton was taken from Mr. Bayard's home in Greenwich village. The history of the pistols is interesting. Mr. Church purchased them in London, and it is said they were made by a celebrated gunman W. H. Mortimer, gunmaker George III. They were used in the duel between the two men. Mr. Church in 1799, and it is stated that they next figured in the fatal meeting between Philip H. Hamilton, the eldest son of Alexander Hamilton, and George I. E.acker, who fought at Weehawken on Nov. 23, 1801, young Hamilton being shot in the right side and dying the next day. As Alexander Hamilton was the challenged party, he had the choice of weapons, and it is natural that his brother-in-law was famous pistols. After the duel they were returned to Mr. Church and have been carefully preserved in the family ever since. When the railroad was cut through in the early seventies the last vestige of the old dueling ground was obliterated. A large red sandstone boulder had up to that time stood near the spot, and it was said that upon this boulder the head of Hamilton rested after he was shot. This original boulder may still be seen in the little enclosure on the high cliff, over 100 feet above the old fighting place. Efforts have from time to time been made to erect a suitable monument near the site to Hampton, but nothing except a very modest monument stands there today. A small semi-circular plot of ground has been set apart in the locality now known as Hampton, and which may be reached in about ten minutes from the ferry landing at Weehawken, and here is to be seen the only memorial of the duel. The red sandstone boulder stands upon a granite pedestal, and the boulder is surmounted by an ancient bust of Hamilton, done by Riordan, the sculptor.

Ruda-Pesth's Noted Crank FROM THE FORETHOUGHT NOTEBOOKS By Earl M. Pratt, Oak Park, Illinois. Does the devil enjoy seeing us make mistakes? Systematic forethought is an enemy of mistakes. Amos R. Wells tells the following in the Young People's Weekly: There was sold not long ago in New York city what is probably the most expensive land ever sold anywhere; certainly the most expensive ever sold in New York. It was a tiny strip of land, and, in its widest part, it measured only seven eighths of an inch was forty feet long. It contained, in all, only seventeen and a half square inches. It couldn't be seen on the map except with a microscope. lot, 25x100 feet, would cost the tre mendous sum of $1,029,600. Rather costly dirt. Two years ago a little, triangular bl oat of land was sold in New York for $200 which was at the rate of $500 a square foot, of $34.7 a square inch. This, how, would you really as expensive land as the piece I have been describing because it was larger—a man could stand upon it—and it was in a bus ness section, and so was actually more valuable. My purpose in relating these real estate transactions is to warn you ever may be reading this against leaving any strip of territory in the city Yet it was undoubtedly there. It lay alongside an expensive plot of ground that was to be used for a dwelling. By some error in calculation it had not been included in the purchase, and it had to be bought. "Why must it be bought?" you ask. "No one could do anything with so small a piece of land." "Indeed, you are wrong. An evil-minded man, could do much mischief with it. That seventeen and a half square inches, you must remember, reaches up into the air as high as the sky. He could raise on it an iron plate that would cut off air and light and view from the forty feet on both sides of it, and utterly ruin the finest houses that might be built there. Just such abominable things have been done. So the land had to be bought. Fifty dollars was the price decided Fifty dollars was the price decided upon as fair, and it was promptly paid. That was at the rate of $2.86 a square inch.

Name of Fa Name of Famous Street The busy thoroughfare which we know as "Picadilly" is far removed from anything rural as it is possible to imagine, and it can hardly be realized that there was a time when merely one or two houses stood on what is now one of the finest and richest of the world's streets, says the Liverpool Post. The name "Picadilly" appears to be derived from the ruffs, pickadills or picadilloes, worn by the gallants of the time of James and Charles I, the stiffening point of which resembled special heads, or picadillars, a miniature of "pica" from the Spanish and Italian. Blount, in his Glossosiaemia (1656), interprets it as a miniature or skirt of a garment, and a stiff collar or band for the neck and shoulders, whence the wooden picadilloes (the pillory) in Hudibras.

Plant, a Macon (Ga.) banker who wrecked his health and his business with overwork, finally settled matters with his numerous creditors by committing suicide, the insurance on his life aggregating $1,015,000. A dispatch says that the bitter feeling against him on the part of the public has subsided since his death, but it is safe to say that the insurance companies do not share in this sympathetic forgiveness. However, insurance companies that take great risks on a single life necessarily have to consider the possibility of suicide. Life insurance reverses the old injunction of the law. The seller, not the buyer, must beware, and singularly enough the tendency is toward the elimination of all restrictions on the contract of the insured.

The Hand of Death lot, 25x100 feet, would cost the tremendous sum of, $1,029,600. Rather costly dirt. Two years ago a little, triangular bit of land was sold in New York for $200, which was at the rate of $500 a square foot, of $3.47 a square inch. This, however, was not really as expensive land as the piece I have been describing, because it was larger—a man could stand upon it—and it was in a business section, and so was actually more valuable. Our purpose in relating these real estate transactions is to warn whoever may be reading this against leaving any strip of territory in the city of his soul to be occupied by the Evil One. "This fault is so very slight. This sin is such a little one. It really is microscopic. It isn't worth bothering about." There isn't in all New York city's business man half as shred as your adversary, the devil. Let sin have any territory in the city of your soul, though it be a strip less than an inch wide, and he will build on it a structure that will shunt out your pure air and your cheery sunshine and your view of heaven. Buy him out! Buy him out! It may take all you can raise of resolution and strength and courage and persistence. But remember, you can draw on the bank of heaven. Prey upon less resources up above. At any rate—a million for a square inch, if necessary—buy him out! You must own all the land in the city of your soul.

Like no cry yeanling's bleat; and I stood in the dawn's gray light. Afraid of I knew not what, sore spen with the toll of the night. Then, setting a quaking hand to the ground, I shaking the cold from my heart, I I looked on the cold, white face; then knew with a cry, by the bed. And I cried, "I too, will die!" and I seemed that life ebbed low. And that Death drew very near, when I felt it stood on my cheek. Of a little warm hand outthrust, and I heard that wailing weak. And knowing that and for me yet was rest from love and strife.

Others say the name is taken from the fact that "one Higgins who built it (the house) got most of his estate from the sale of pliceadillas," but the name occurs many years earlier than the mention of the first house, thus Gerard, in his Herbal (1564), states that "the small wild bee-glosses grow upon the drie-drie banker about Pickadilla." The road is referred to in Stow's narrative of Sir Thomas Wyatt's rebellion in 1563 as "the highway on the hill against St. James," and in Agnus map (1560) it is lettered "The way to Redinge. The way part of the Haymarket and the fields adjoining and west were the "Pickadilla" of the Restoration. Everyn quotes the commissioners' orders, 13, 1662, to pave "the Haymaret about Pigudello," and tradesmen's tokens of that date bear "Pickadilla" and "Pickadilly." the possibility of suicide is carefully considered when the policy is issued, and the companies take no risks, unless there is the strongest of presumptions that the insurance is not desired for the purposes to which Mr. Plant devoted them. Nevertheless, instances of suicide for insurance money are by no means uncommon. Not long ago another southern business man who formed himself financially embarrassed went to Louis, bought $50,000 in twenty-four accident policies, leaped from the train on the way home and was killed. The policies had to be paid Suicide is part of the risk of life insurance, and the companies make no mistake in assuming that, in general way, the desire to live is finitely stronger than the desire to pay debts or provide for the support of a family.

The Southern people have been making a great bluff about spending millions of dollars to educate the Afro-Americans. There's nothing in the stories they tell. Last week the Georgia legislature, with a great flourish of trumpets, appropriated $4,000 for the Georgia State Industrial College near Savannah. In the discussion of the bill the fact came out that the State of Georgia has never made an appropriation for this school, although it is known as a state institution. The United States government gives Georgia $24,000 annually for agricultural education on condition that $8,000 go to the education of Afro-Americans. For three M. B. HON. GEORGE B. CORTELYOU. Chairman Republican National Committee. years the state has withheld the appropriation for the industrial school, thus buncoing its Afro-American citizens out of $24,000. This year it was stated that unless the appropriation for the colored school was made that the United States would refuse to pay the $24,000. The Georgia solons saw the point and the bill giving the Afro-Americans their share was passed without a dissenting vote. the Republican exe of Caldwell county, Lockhart, Texas, w because of an alle mark."

THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER. I TREMBLE FOR MY COUNTRY WHEN I REMEMBER THAT GOD IS JUST AND HIS JUSTICE DOES NOT SLEEP FOREVER— Thomas Jefferson. SENATOR & J. HOPKINS OF ILLINOIS GIVES HIS VIEWS ON DISFRANCHISEMENT. Says Socalled Race Plank in Republi- can Platform is All Right—Says South is Unjust—Sure Roosevelt Will Win. In a recent interview, Hon. Albert J. Hopkins, Illinois' virile junior senator, was questioning the reduction of representation plank of the Republican platform and den- ounced the alleged state govern- ments in the South as a travesty on representative government. "Senator, what do you think will be the effect of the so-called race plank in the Republican platform?" was asked. "I am glad that you asked me that question, and I am glad that you refer to the 'so-called' race plank. That plank is one to which no right-thinking citizen, North or South, can honestly object. The question suggested by that plank is one that lies at the very foundation of representative government, and upon its right and righteous settlement depends in no small measure the liberty and prosperity of the American people. "Under the operation of State constitutions in this country today, a comparatively few persons at the South are intrusted with power equal to that enjoyed by a great number of persons at the North "Take the State of South Carolina for example, where there are 500,000 white persons and 700,000 Afro-Americans. In that state Afro-Americans are not allowed to vote, and the result is that the 500,000 whites there exercise, in the Federal Government, as much power as do 1,200,000 persons in Illinois. "Now, it is a more commonplace to state that such a condition is a travesty on representative government. If that order of things continues, the time will not be long before the liberties of the people, white as well as black, will be disregarded. Such a government may be administered intelligently for a time, but it can never, in any sense, be said to be free. The spirit of unjust discrimination Hon A. J, Hopkins. runs through the warp and woof of it, weaving a political fabric that is oligarchic and despotic, and subversive of republican principles and republican institutions. "While I've been talking with you here, I have had in mind the first great leader of the Republican party, and I have wondered what would be his view of this question if he were alive, and could speak to us. I cannot believe that the great and good man who freed the bondman would now consent to enslave the white man as, well as the black. And yet that is precisely what our Democratic friends advise us to do. The Southern people that they should be permitted to solve their problems unmolested by irritating political interference at the South or from the North, but I cannot, as a Northern man, as an American, consent to a program that strips me and my neighbors in Illinois—Democrats and Republicans alike—of our constitutional rights, in order to strengthen the arms of Southern white men, are the pretense of 'maintaining the Anglo-Saxon's civilization' and of 'protecting the sanctity of the Anglo-Saxon on home.' Bourbonism Down South. "Theark of Anglo-Saxon civilization has not been intrusted exclusively to the Bourbon Democrats of the South. Neither is the sanctity of the home reverenced exclusively by political leaders who now control the destinies of the old slaveholding commonwealths. It take it that both these are near the American people, irrespective of section and of political affiliations. "It comes to me that if the South persists in its present attitude it will inevitably degrade the Afro-American, taking from him all incentive to high endeavor and crowding him down into the darker places and compelling him always to tread a level lower than that trodden by his white countrymen. "And that thought brings me to the crux of this question, namely, that the Democratic party is foisting upon the country a policy which will result in our having in this nation two great classes—the one riding upon the backs of the other, and the strength of the whites depending upon the sufficiency of the blacks. Lincoln said that the nation could not continue half slave and half free." ROOSEVELT EPIGRAMS. Sentences Selected from President's Speech Accepting Nomination. The humblest individual is to have his rights safeguarded as scrippulously as those of the strongest organization. Each is to receive justice; no more, and no less. There is nothing experimental about the government we ask the people to continue in power. We know our own minds. We have kept of the same mind a sufficient length of time to give our policy coherence and sanity. We have shown in fact that our policy is to do justice to all man, paying no heed to whether a man is rich or poor, or to his race, creed or birthplace. We know what we mean when we speak of an honest and stable currency. We mean the same thing from year to year. We seek peace not because we are afraid or unready, but because. we believe piece is right as well as advantageous. We are governing the Philippines in the interest of the Philippine people themselves. We are striving to do our work in the spirit with which Lincoln approached his. AT GATE OF JERUSALEM. Active Business Is Carried on by Small Hucksters. Jerome Hart gives the following sketch of street scenes in Jerusalem: "Just outside the gate, on the Jaffa road, there is a multitude of booths of small dealers and rows of native cafes where laborers sit on stools smoking. There are also large numbers of donkey drivers waiting with their animals for hire. Although the wall is a massive structure and the gate some fifty feet high, the entrance is narrow, with a right-angled turn—one of the methods adopted in the old days for defense. Through this narrow gateway there pours an endless stream of camels, donkeys and footmen all day long. Without the gate you see jostling camel drivers and camels kneeling to receive their loads. Scores of hucksters are squatting on the ground behind their heaps of oranges, dates, lemons, onlons, radishes and other vegetables. There are also many venders of bread—a staple in Jerusalem, as in all the eastern world; it is piled up in stacks, very much as we handle cordwood here, and with about as much attention to cleanliness. Many of these hucksters have a stock so small as to be pitiful—some two or three pounds of wormy figs, for ex ample, worth perhaps five cents." COULD NOT UNDERSTAND HIM. Disraeli Explained His Attitude To ward, Gladstone. A short time before his death, Disraeli sat for his portrait to Millais. In his studio hung a proof engraving of Gladstone, with his hands hanging down before him lightly clasped, and an almost beatific expression on his face. Millais observed that Disraeli's eyes were frequently bent upon the portrait. At length he asked him if he would accept a copy. "I was rather shy of offering it to you," he apologetically added. "I should be delighted to have it," said Disraeli with what for him was an almost eager manner; "people think that more or less through our political lives I have disliked Mr. Gladstone. To tell the truth, my only difficulty in respect to him has been that, studying him from day to day and year by year, I could never understand him." Various Kinds of Memory. The different kinds of memory are described in an extended article in Cosmos, Paris. It is noted that some children when they learn a lesson have only to read it over a few times; others will not remember it unless they have heard it recited; others must repeat it aloud to themselves. These are the three kinds of memory—visual, auditive and motor. Those who need to recite the lesson aloud to themselves are at once auditive and motor. Certain persons retain a passage well only after they have copied it out. These have a combination of motor and visual memory. Blessings in Disguise. Mowen not the goods that fall not to your share; Each longed for blessing to your prayer gentle. Does he give place to gift more rich and rare. Impossible had you not thus been tried. Grieve not when efforts fail, as fall they will; Each purpose thwarted is but leading you. To fields of striving, nobler, loftier still, Which earlier success had hid from view.

One of the best things yet secured is the Kitamura Imperial Japanese Troupe, a band of ten of the wonderful little people who are making it so warm for the Russians in the far East. These Japs have all the wonderful skills they need to protect their people and which has played so important a part in their success in the present war. At the fair they will perform a great number of feats His Face On Every Box! HOWARD'S SHOE POLISH. A.C.

Another star attraction might be called Dode Fisk's Company of Educated Quadrupeds. Mr. Fisk has brought out a wonderful horse, which he hitches in a marvelous white road wagon and drives in all the gaits known to horse flesh. The clever beast does many tricks and at high horse, wagon and driver are illuminated by means of electric lights which are cleverly arranged and kept bright by means of a storage battery. A comedy mule, a "high school" horse and Mike Rooney, the famous circus rider, are other features of Fisk's aggregation. "RIP VAN WINKLE." At the Grand Opera House. For the last week of the Fawcett Co. at the Grand, commencing Sunday, August 14th, a grand revival of that old-time success made famous by Mr. Joseph Jefferson, "Rip Van Winkle," will be the bill. This popular old play has delighted theatre-goers all over the country for many years and the announcement of its presentation always arouses great interest. Mr. George Fawcett will be seen in the title role and the play will be staged in a meritorious manner. Local theatre-goers are preparing to give the company an enthusiastic send-off during this the last week. WILLIAM ARTHUR ROBISON. CONCERT VIOLINIST. Pupils accepted in Violin and Cornet. Address 591 Sherburne Ave., St. Paul. TOOK THE JUDGE SERIOUSLY. Incident Probably Cured Jurist of the Use of Sarcaam. Lord Bowen, an English judge of renown, was trying a case of burglary with a Welsh jury, and it was argued for the defense that the prisoner was in the habit of walking on the house-tops at midnight, and had merely taken off his boots and dropped into the house out of curiosity. In summing up Bowen said to the jury: "If you believe that the prisoner considers the house-tops the proper place for an evening s.roll, that the desire to inspect the inside of the houses was but a natural and excusable curiosity, you will acquit him and will approve his conduct in showing so much consideration as to take off his boots for fear of disturbing the sleepers." The frony was lost on the jury; they took him seriously and acquitted the prisoner. Korean Widows Never Remarry Korean wives in Korea has many curious customs. One of these is that widows must not remarry. No widow in the really "smart set" would ever dream of remarrying, however young she may be or however soon the death of her husband may have followed her wedding. Married life is by no means an unmixed blessing to the woman, so perhaps perpetual widowhood might not be objectionable if it were not for the necessity of perpetually wearing mourning for the departed. This means that during the whole of her life she is limited to blue, black and green as colors for her costumes. Society of the Dillettantl. An interesting old organization which formerly existed in London—the Dillettanti society—originated with certain gentlemen who, having traveled in Italy, tried to encourage at home what they had enjoyed abroad. This society of lovers of the fine arts lasted 120 years. Walpole does not seem to have looked upon it with a very favorable eye, for he says: "The nominal qualification was to have been to Italy, the real one was being drunk." Dugald in Edinburgh. Dugald McTavish, when on a visit to Edinburgh, was taken by a fellow Highlander to see the sights of the city. The visitor was thirsty and determined to give Donald, his guide, a hint to his condition. Consequently on passing a bonded warehouse, he said: "Donald, what wad pe in that parrels?" "What wad pe in them but whusky?" replied the guide. "Then," said Dugald, "I wish I was a parrel."—Scottish American. Nonsense About Sneezing "When a man sneezes heartily, he may know himself to be healthy. No person in poor health even sneezes," says the eminent doctor Sir Jonathan Hutchinson. This statement will be challenged by those familiar with the plague, who know that hearty sneezing is its first symptom. Every one knows that a series of sneezes comes in the first stages of catching cold, and that the hay fever victim sneezes to his great discomfort. The Wind from the Moon. A white wind blows from the moon. The night 'has a cry; 'Life, will life, for the living! Soon they shall. The mad wind blows on the brain and your eyes are near. And the old whispers and temps again. "Life is dear!" The hot wind blows in the blood. "Life at last!" Alice Herbert. "Between the Lights." Too Stringent Justice. In Flanders by accident a Flemish tiler fell from the top of a house upon a Spaniard and killed him, though he escaped himself. The next of the blood prosecuted his death with great violence and when he was offered peculiar recompense nothing would serve him but retaliatory punishment. Thereupon the judge said that if he urge that sentence he should go to the top of the house and then fall down upon the tiler.
