BURR-HAMILTON PISTOLS
WILL BE SOLD AT AUCTION
Weapons Claimed to Have Been Used in Famous Duel Will Be
Offered Here to Highest Bidder
TT INANIMATE things might talk,
A think what a marvelous tale of ad
venture, political Intrigue, romance,
enmity and friendship the Burr-Hamilton
dueling pistols might tell!
What is claimed to be the original
pair of pistols used by Aaron Durr nnd
Alexander Hamilton tn their famous
duel more than 115 years ago nt Wee
hawken, N, J., will be offered for sale
as n part of the Caesar Itodney tstate,
in this city, next Monday.
Caesar Itodney was one of the signers
of the Declaration of Independence. The
tradition In tho Itodney family is that
these pistols were presented to Caesar
Ilodney by Colonel Aaron llurr, his
intimate friend. Later on in history
Rodney, as attorney gcnernl under
President Jefferson, had to prosecute his
friend llurr for treason.
It was in 1S01 that Aaron Burr was
defeated in his candidacy for President
of the United States. Jefferson won the
most votes nnd Rurr was made Vice
President. In, 1804 he ian ns indepen
dent candidate for governor of New
York and was ngnin defeated. He
blamed both defeats ou Hamilton, nnd
it was pqlitical disagreement which led
to the duel at WcchawKcn, July 11,
1S01 Hamilton firnd his pistol in tho
air and was killed by lluir
The pistols, of the long, heavy tspc
of that period, have just been oiled and
polished up so they aie in working order.
Hundreds of other historical articles
are included in the sale Theie are
five mahoganj Chippendale chairs, said
to have been made In Philadelphia about
1700 and used by George Washington
during his presidency in the mansion oc
nipied bj him in this city. At the end
of his second town as President, Wash
ington is said to li.ive ordered all the
furniture In his Philadelphia house sold
nt public sale These chairs were later
acquired by the late Colonel Frank M.
Httlng, curator of the State House. He
presented one to Independence nail, and
these five were inherited by Colonel Et
ting's nephew, tho present owner.
There are also pieces of furniture
which formerly belonged to Charles Car
roll, of Carrollton, Blgncr of the Decla
ration of Independence; a life-size por
trait of Washington painted by Thomas
Sully from the original by Stuart for
a member of Daniel Webster's family,

REMOVAL OF BAN
Some Sell Almost Openly and
Others Expoct Permission
in Few Days
ASSURANCE IS CLAIMED
Saloonkeepers in all parts of Phila
delphia arc getting ready today for
tho expected order from Washington
permittlnc them to resume the sale of
whisky nnd other intoxicants.
And with these preparations came
the solemn question, voiced by thirsty
patrons of the bars:
"What will be the price of whisky
and beer?"
There Is no probability, it was said
today, that the prices even in the cheap,
est places will fall below twenty-five
cents a glass for whisky.
Old-Time Activity
Persons in the streets early today
noticed unusual nctivlty in the sa
loons. Many of them showed the old
time early morning bustle of prepara
tion for expected rush of business.
This renewed nctlvit, it was ex
plained, was due to n report that thb
sale of liquor would bo permitted within
a few days. Boms of the saloonkeepers
were so sure that they would soon be
permitted to sell legally, It was said,
that they commenced to sclt almost
openly on tho basis of this expecta
tion. Department of Justice agents have
been unusually busy during tho last
few days. It Is said that they have
obtained a mass of evidence against
saloonkeepers who have grown careless
because of tho expected "lifting of the
lid" by the government.
Reason for Optimism
' The optimism of Philadelphia, Xew
York and Chicago liquor dealers over
tho termination of war-time prohibi
tion, according to a report from Wash
ington today, is duo to a statement
by a member of President Wilson's
cabinet to the effect that tho Presi
dent will not wait until the ratifica
tion of the peace treaty by the Senate
before removing restrictions on saloons
for the short period before prohibi
tion under the constitutional amend,
ment.
