oe BURR FOUND THE ASSASSIN. Famons Lawyer Ounce Cleared His Cli ent of Marder. “1 was particularly interested,” sald an old Washington lawyer the other day, speaking of the Manhattan well crime, “in the paragraph that describ ed Aaron Burr's dramatic act in hold- ing a pair of lighted candles in the face of a spectator in the courtroom and shouting, ‘Gentlemen, here is the real murderer.’ 1 do not question this, but I remember that Jere Clemens, once a famous United States senator from Alabama, told of a trial in which Burr appeared for the defense of a man charged with murder. My recol- lection is that the trial was in the southwest. When Burr addressed the jury it was night. The guilty man was in the room. He had been the principal witness for the prosecution but Burr had learned that this witnesa was the assassin, and in closing his address for his client he picked up two iighted candles from the table and hoiding them in the face of the wit- ness referred he exclaimed: ‘Gen- tismen of the jury, there is nature's verdict. Now write yours.” At that moment the witness fled from the room. After Clemens told this story be wrote an historical novel called “The Rivals; or, The Times of Hamil- ton and Burr’ In that book he wove the incident into one of the chapters. The book is out of print and has been for many years. But it had a great sale, particularly in the south, before the civil war, for Clemens was a typ!- cal southern orator, and a man of wonderful personal magnetism. The object of the novel was to make Burr a hero, and to besmirch Hamilton's character. In one chapter where Burr was high in the esteem of Washington, the latter is represented as reading a letter from Hamilton in which Hamil- ton detailed some scandalous gossip about Burr. Burr was standing behind Washington during the reading of the letter. Washington incensed at the contents of the letter, turned quickly and saw Burr, to whom he said: ‘How dare you read my over my shoulder?’ Burr, as Clemens repre: sents, stung to the quick, drew him- self up and replied with all the haut eur of his nature: ‘When your majes- ty addresses such an inquiry to me io the manner you have, the only reply deceny can prompt is, Aaron Burr dares to do anything.” This, Clemens avers, was the cause of the break be- tween Washington and FORTUNES FROM fo, letter Burr.” DREAMS. inventors (an Tell of Some Strange Experiences remarkable how inventive nature occur marked Henry Hollingswortl DMeveland inventor. sugaged in problems upon mechanics { have gone to bed and dreamed what seemed to be a perfect solution of that which had been uppermost in my mind during the day. But the trouble is that upon awaking. while recollecting per- fectly that I had dreamed the solution, ft was impossible to recall the detalls necessary to a practical application of my idea. You know, it is said of the automatic car-coupler of the double- jaw type, that the originator of the idea was a telegraph operator who, while leaning back in his chair, with his hands clasped behind his head, dozing, was brought t his senses by the blowing of a locomotive whistle That noise served as a connecting link for his thoughts. With his hands still clasped, sailor fashion, he slowly brought them in front of him, and wondered why the cars of that train could not be connected with one an- sther in the same way his hands were hooked together. As a result of this enriously suggested idea we have the the two jaws of which fit into each other and clasp after the same manner of the human hands. There is a west- ern inventor who tells of dreaming of railroad spikes one night last summer. He saw around him nothing but spikes, hundreds and thousands of them, and tons and tons piled up in front of him. Bnt these spikes differed from any oth- er he had ever seen, in that the four faces were grooved. He thought about these spikes when he woke up, and next night saw more spikes than ever in his dream. Then he became con- vineed that those spikes were intended as the foundation for the fortune that he had been striving for. As a result the western man has applied for a patent upon the inventiom, which, it is claimed, effects a saving of 20 per cent In the steel used, and makes a cheaper and better means of holding the rail to the tie than heretofore eme- ployed.” Washington Post. “It is ideas of me,” to a an to re- “Frequently when Don't Tobacco Spit and Smoke Your Life Away.
