THE SCULOTTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY MORNING SEPTEMBER 11. 189T. 11 AARON BURR IN THE LIGHT OF HISTORY Cannot Be Made lo Appear Otherwise Than as a Villain. A FUTILE ATTEMPT TO LAUD HIM Some Sontlmontnl Women Have Ho Kun nSlllv Crusndo In Ills Jlcluilf. but Iho Cold I'ncts Aro Thnt llurr, With All Ills Grncus of .llnnncr rind Spoocli, Wns n llunrtloss Ltbcrtino and a l'ollllcnl Trickster Without an Honest Ilnlrln Ills Hend. "Penn," In tho Phlladolplila Bulletin. There seems to be something like a tendency to set up a new estlmato of Aaron Hurr. Edgar Fnwcett In his latest novel of old New York draws a half-romantic picture of him In his old age. Not many weeks ago Mrs. Bur goln, Mrs. Bates and other New York women In a society for Political Study took him up for a theme nnd enmo to the conclusion that he was a man too big for his time, a victim of circum stances, etc. It Is curious that women bhould concern themselves at this late da In vindicating or brightening up the character of a man whom their grandmothers were taught to regard as the most sensual libertine In the United States. Forty years ago James Parton attempted, but with limited re sults, to incite sympathy for Burr; but Parton liked to write biography with a mild sense of tho literary sen sationalist In striking nt a rooted opin ion. On the part of men who may now think it their duty to give us a revised estimate of Burr it is really rot unfair to question a want of the robust sense of distinction between right and wrong In both private nnd public morals. On the part of wo men who now find him an object of sympathy, if not of admiration. It ould seem that the magic with which he charmed their sex has survived the grave at Princeton in which that Ht tl prince of gallantry has slept for 6lxty years. BURR AND JACKSON. It was said of Andrew Ja.kson, who met Burr In the old senate chamber at Sixth and Chestnut streets, that this virile courtliness of manner which caused Old Hickory nt one time to be ranked with Charles X and the Indian chief, Tecum&eh, as the threo nest H !ng specimens of dlgnlt and graoloun m?... cam? from contact wllh tho pol ished urbanity of the New Yorker. There Is not much foundation for this remark, so far as It concerns the Inti macy of the two men; but It serves to show the regard In which Burr's man ners were held by both the men and women of his time. With his fine black eyes, his eiaceful carriage, his ready conversation on any subject and his art, as he called It, of "talking sweet little nothings," there were few women . who could resist entirely his fasclna toln when he choose to exert It. From the time when the notorious Mrs. Cogh lan, who, at fourteen, with the mould and the desires of a woman, felt the influence of the amorous young soldier, (?own to the time when almost an oc togenarian, he married the spirited Madame Jumel for tho sake of her property, onlv the period of his happy union with Theodosla Prevost, Is rea sonably free from the suspicion of an inli'fue. The career of such a lover of their sex would, indeed, naturally Intel est all women. NOT A HYPOCRITE. Perhaps the most favorable thing that can be said of Burr's conduct is that he was never known to plav the part of a hypocrite, not only In ordin ary morals, but In politics and religion. Ho often seems to have had a frank way of confessing his vices nnd weak nesses with the confidence of a vivac ious man of intellect who can nfford, In the absence of the moral sense In his composition, to be candid. For exam ple, ho wai naturally antagonistic to AVashlngton, refused to acknowledge any gieatness or capacity in him and sneered nt him as a sort of lustlc block htad. Tiut on such occasions as when at the head of the senators he called on Washington In his Market street bouse to nresent the address of con gratulation which he had written, he used the adjectives of formal courtesy, but each had privately an lnstlctlne distrust and contempt of the other. If n woman saddled upon him the re sponsibility for tho paternity of a child, as happened when he was long past his three-score nnd ten, he- was in clined to be proud of making the ac knowledgement. When living here he entertained Talleyrand and Volney and other Frenchmen whom the people looked upon as the vilest reprobates in lrrellglon, and even offered hospitality to Louis Phllllppe In his youth, he had no apologies to offer. A Princeton lad ot eighteen, he came to the conclusion that the Calvlnlstlc theology of his grandfather, the great Jonathan Ed wards, and of hU father, tho Aaron Burr who Is illustrious in the history of the College of New Jersey, was a humbug, deliberately rejected It. and set up the Chesterfleldan code of the Honor of a Gentleman as his moral standard; and he never seems even for the sake of political success to have affected the appearance of piety, despite the constant appeals made to him by the clergy In the name of his pious ancestois. AS A LETTER WRITER. It Is one of the traditions of Philadel phia history that when Burr's father died, the orphaned lad was brought down from Princeton and sheltered 'or a time In the Shlppen household. Tha daughter of the house who married Benedict Arnold, fled to him for pro tection, and he kept the secret of her complicity with her husband's treason until after she was beyond the power of her enemies to resent the disclos ure. It was here that he vrote day after day In the senate chamber to his wife and his daughter Theodosla the most charming little epistles. Burr ap pears at his best In his relations to thofe women. His wife was ten years older than hlms.'lf, neither rich nor a beauty and with children of her own by n itrat marriage. But she must hav3 had kupreme charm of mind and man ner to captivate Burr, who long held her to be the finest and most elegant woman ho had uvu? met. Sometimes, tho Journey between New York and Philadelphia belt's, a matter of at least twenty-four hours, they would arrange to meet each other half way. The sen ate, at Sixth nnd Chestnut streets, would adjourn on a Friday; Burr on Haturday would Journey to tho north ns 'er as Trenton or Trlnceton, and there he would meet the mother of his Theodosla and enjoy her society until hi return to Philadelphia. Ills letters to his llttlo Theodosla, destined to become the wife of Alston, cf South Caroll'a and to lose her llfo at sea )n the bloom of her lovely wo manhood, arc tull of tender and father ly words of ndvlco as to how she should study Horace- nnd Terence, how sho shuuld enjoy tending Gibbon, then frPBh from the press, as lie had done, and how she should take caro to be plain and abstemious In her habits of eat ing nnd drinking. Here, too, It was that he helped to make another little utateaman "the great little Mndlson," ns women called the grnve nnd unlm passioned Virginian happy In wedlock by Introducing him to Mistress Dolly Todd nnd opening the way to their courtship In the cnndlc-llghted pnilor of her mother's lodging house on Fourth slteet. Lator on, when ho had becomo ti widower, and was vice-president of the United States, It was a Philadel phia woman who tried to make him promise tn become her husband, THK PARENT OF TAMMANY. It Is not necessary to go Into Burr's public career, which was founded on the lowest conception of tho relations of a statesman to his fellows, to Justify surprise over th'e women who aro apol ogizing for him. He was tho virtual originator of the Tammany system; he was the first ot tho great machine tac ticians In American politics; ho nar rowly escaped tho penalties of treason, nnd he was forced Into European exile. Nothing would have amused him moro than women discussing these ques tions. He liked clever women; he liked every buxom creature that responded to his smiles, nnd when he wns In Eu rope ho was gallant with them, all, from German duchesses to London bar maids; but he had no use for women who dabbled In politics. It was one of tho cardinal articles of his faith that all women aro vain; that the sucest way of gaining them 13 to flatter them, and In this, ns in all his Int-lgues, thero was the delicacy of a gentleman ab horring mere crossness. But this wns doubtless a matter of well-bred disci pline. He seems to have had a sort of philosophy that self-control Is real ly the means of self-indulgence, und he was as rigid as any modern health reformer In his habits, his simplicity in food and Ms care in drinking. It was thus that Madame Jumel doubted his fidelity, and mnde It a reason for their separation when ho was on the verge of eighty, and it caused him even then to express his admiration for Fanny Kemble as "a fine animal." In his will he cave directions that all his letters from his female corre spondents should be burned. He neve. had compunctions in these matters any moro than ho had for tho duel with Hamilton, which, In his old age, he would call up laughingly In remem brance with this piece of doggered ns a satire on the horror of the multitude at a. wax figure show: "O, Burrl O, Burr! what tiast thou done? Thou hast shooted dead great Hamilton. You hid behind a bunch of thistle, And shooted htm dead with a great boss pistol." A POLISHED VILLAIN. With all his unemotional cynicism he professed to hold In contempt any man who would ply deliberately tho arts of seduction. He alwnys Insisted that no one could Impute to him that crime. There was, he said, no amour In which he ever engaged when he had not been met half way, and he htil nothing but execration for n man whr. would make an advance which was not welcome. When he was In such poverty that he had to borrow a $10 bill to keep him from want, he hesi tated to ask It of a woman. These nnd other such considerations of tho Ches terfleldan codo can be pleaded In Ruir's behalf; but, after all that can be slid, may be gathered together and only the absolute verities of his life ac cepted, tt Is a. sorry, wretched, sel fish and unwholesome character that remains. Burr Is, In fact, the polished villain of the opening drama of Amer ican public life. A careless female In stinct may go out to him as when tho matinee girl contemplat"S his agreeable compeer In a dross co.it pleading before the foot light that he is "a man with a past;" but now many mothers and sweetheart would really have their lads and their lovr-rs laboring also to defend the Infamies of Burr? HILL NYE ON BUZZ SAWS. His Idcns of How They Worked nnd How They Appealed to n .linn's Liver. From the Mississippi Lumberman. Owing to having been brought up in Wisconsin, where you can scarcely find a town that does not boast of nt least one saw-mill, of greater or less pretentions, Bill Nye was famllar with them. One of the stories that he used to tell when on the platformwlthJames Whltcomb Riley, the Hoosler poet, was about saw-mills and buzz-saws and ran about as follows: "North Wisconsin Is where they yank a big wet log Into a mill and turn It Into cash as quick as a railroad man can draw his salary out of the pay-car. The log Is held on a carrage by mean? of Iron dogs, while It Is being worked Into lumber. These dogs are not like those we see on the front door steps of a brown-stone front occasionally; they are another breed of dogs. "Tho managing editor of the mill lays out the log In his mind and works It Into dimension stuff, shingles, bolts, slabs, edging two-by-fours, two-by-elghts, etc., so as to use tho goods to the 'best advantage. At one of these mills, not long ago, a man backed up to get away from the carriage and thoughtlessly backed against a large Haw that was revolving at the rate of two hundred times a minute. The saw took a large chew of tobacco from the plug he had iln his pistol-pocket, nnd then began on him. They gathered him out of tho sawduBt and put him into a nail keg and carried him away, but he did not speak again. Life was extinct. Whether it was the nervous shock or tho concussion of the cold saw ngalntt his liver that killed him, no one ever know. We should never lean on the buzz-saw when It moveth Itself aught."

D., Secretary ctf American Society of Religious Education. INTKODUCTION.-As remarked In tho notes on tho lesson of Juno 20 (QV) tho latter part of Paul's letter to the Ramans Is a deduction from tho earlier part, or an application of tho doctrine of Justification by faith. Ho evidently becks to coriect tho mistake. If It arosu In any mind, that th'o free forgiveness of the sinner by a sovereign prerogative, carried with It any license to subsequent sinning. On tho contrary holy living Is enjoined upon nil who aro thus by faith restored to Dlvlno favor, (Verso 1). Tho remission ot a pen alty becauso of pcnltcnco obligates hence forth supremo regard to tho law and bu premo service to the Law-glcr. (Ch. vl, 1-8). In our lesson today, tho apostle out lines tho new llfo of tho believer under several Important heads. Tho themes are stated In brief sentences that appear to bo but llttlo related. It 13 thereforo ditllcult to make any close analysis, but the one hero used will bo helpful, though Imperfect. As wo proceed In tho study It will bo noticed thnt tho apostlo gravltatts between Inward conditions and outward expressions, tho llfo and Its fruitage. AFriJCTION-S. At tho beginning (verses 0 nnd 10) wo havo directions con cerning tho affections, the heart being tho fountain ond demanding chief atten tion. (Prov. lv, 23). Paul seeks to pro mote brotherly lovo among the Roman Christians, lecognlzlng tho fact that they sustain the most lntlmato relations to each other, and that, therefore, they thould cultivate a, special regard among themselves. (I Peter. II. 17). Throe Items are here mentioned concerning biothcrly lovo-lt must "bo without dissimulation," freo from hypocrisy, absolutely genuine! It must bo "kindly," disposed to do good; It must awaken a sense of honor so that each would "prefer the other" (I Peter v, E), causing ono to allow position and priv ilege to brethren rather than to claim them for himself. And yet this affection must not blind the eyes or tho Christian to questions of right and wrong. Ho must at tho eame time abhor that which Is evil, and, forsaking it, lie must always cleave "to that which Is good." (Psalm xxxlv, 14). Or, to state It moro briefly, a gen uine, active, deferential affection for tho brethren must bo Joined with a sincere, supreme and uncompromising lovo for righteousness. HUSINDSS.-Tho Chrlslan life must be broader than tho church relations. It must regulate all intercourse with the grf-at outsldo world. Paul thereforo next refers to man's business pursuits (verso '.'), In a sentenco ac'apted to our time. Ho declares that cno must not bo slothful (I Thess. lv, 2), implying that an oarnest pursuit of a chosen calling Is a duty. The reason for such Injunction may bo readily found In tho welfare of the Indi vidual and of soclity ns a whole. Ho who goes sluggishly to his secular task be trays Ignorance of tho deep Import of all earthly undertakings nnd brings dishonor upon Him whom ho professes to repre sent and serve. (Prov. x, 20). And yet to avoid anothe- extreme, that of becoming absorbed In tho earthly sen Ice, tho apos tlo applies tho corrective. A man muat temper his industry by a fervent religious ppirlt, nnd bo must do all as a sen-ant of God. (I. Cor. x, 31. It Is possible to nan age a factory, the shop nnd tho store with an eye single to tho glory of Clod. UCATK.V BY A IIAIIl. Hnnnlbal Ilnmlin Hud n Hnir Split ting Misunderstanding with His Friend. From tho San Francisco Argonaut. WJien Hannibal Hamlin was speaker of the Maine house of Representatives, away back In the 40's, there wns In that Ixjdv a certain gentleman whose hair was very thin. To hide his ap proaching baldness he was in the habit of carefully stroking with bandoline or other preparation each particular hair in Its place. One day while in the chair, ns speaker, Mr. Hamlin, in tho inno senco of a good and Joke-lovlnlg na ture, sent Jor this gentleman, and, looking fixedly at his smooth nnd pol ished pate, said with a chuckle: "Blank eld fellow, I Just wanted to tell you that you'vo got one of the hairs of your head crossed ovr the other." "You Insult me, sir; you Insult me!" replied the member, with unexpected and altogether unnocessaty Indigna tion, nnd then, refusing to listen either to reason or explanation, ho left the speaker's desk and returned to his sent. WhenMr.Hamlln became a candidate for the United States senate this en tleman was a member of tho upper house of tho Mnlne legislature. Al though' a. member of the same party, and only one more vote wns needed to securo Mr. Hamlin's election, he posi tively refused to vote for tha man by whom he believed he had been Insulted. Ho was defeated for a seat In the SPtiate by a holr. Hut when the next vacancy occurred he was elected. LE BRUM'S FOR F.XTHF.It SEX.

Whither In tho churcfh or out of It, na much out of It as tn it, a man will havo orportunlty to display many vlrtueo which are hero commended. (Verses 12 and 13). First, a Joyful antici pation of tho future, or hope (Phil. Ill, 3); second, patience( Heb. x, 30), undet tho misfortunes of tho present; third, a con stant cxerclso In prayer (Luke xlll, 1), knowing that Divine grnco Is always nccvlcd; furth, contributions to tho needs of others! fifth, hospitality, ready to sharo with others tho comforts of homo, (Heb. Ill, 2). Theso virtues adjust tho soul to ns many different relations to the ex pected good, to tho prcEcnt adversity, to tho help of God, to tho misfortune of others, to the demand of strungcrs and friends. They call Into play many noblo traits of thu spiritual life, exhibit charac ter in its best aspects, render llfo more enjoyable, attract tho gocd will of men and securo teho favor ot God. Kach of these virtues grows In somo degreo In every behoving heart, but cultivation will Increase their growth. Hence tho apos tle's command. PERSECUTION. Tho next precept (verso 11) Is now but little needeJ. Thoro was a time when bo who attempted to Bervo God would And serious and oven cruel opposition. In that intolerant ago men thought It necessary to pcrsecuto thoso Who did not ngreo with them. (Acts xxvl, 9). Our Lord foiewarned His dis ciples that they would surfer nt tho hands of enemies ns He had done (John xv, SO), and Ho assured them that It would bo to their great profit. (Matt, v, 2). Hero tho apostlo inculcates tho spirit of meek ness and of non-resistance, even ns tho Saviour had done. (Luke vl, 2S-20). For every injury received the Christian mU3t return a blessing. Ho must be particular ly careful not to Invoko any 111. Cursing, Imprecation, wrath, are unbecoming a follower ot tho Lord Jesus Christ, who prayed for His enemies. (Luko xxlll:3l,) even while suffering the most excruciat ing pain at their hands, So that tho apos tlo Is hero only re-affirming and applying the teaahlng of the Master. SYMPATHY. It Is exceedingly dlfflcult for a Christian to adjust himself propeny toward tho different classes whom he Is called to meet and to cherish the right spirit toward each. Tho natuial man has his attachments ami antipathies. What shall tho follower of Jesus do? Verses 13 and 10 call him to a sympathetic state. With thoso who rejoice, ho must rejoice; with thoso who weep, "ho must weep. (1 Cor. xll:2G.) This Is only the principle- of lovo manifested toward tho fortunato and the unfortunate. But In the sympathetic condition ono la measurably plastic, re ceiving impressions for Rood or 111. It would bo natural to look most favorably upon tho fortunate. Two rules aro laiU down, both wholesome, to meet any such result. There must be tho eame mind or disposition toward all a uniform bearing, regardlcs of another's lot. Furthermore, bo cautious, lest thoso who aro In exalted station gain tho greater favor, and, to avoid this, condescend, Demi down or stoop to tho lowly and humble. (Matt, xl, 29.) This W also another expression of love, a regard for thoso who aro beneath us being a suro proof that our hearts aro moved by generous impulses. (Luko xlv. 18-14.) Alaska Gold Dust is hard to get.

INTBRCOUltSn.-Stlll further to regu lato 'tho conduct of tho Christian" In his Intercourse with men, tho npostlo pre-i sonta three precepts (verses 17 nnd 18) which aro moro closely connected that they nt first appear. First, It injured, one must not return tho injury, a wlso coun sel viewed from any standpoint (1 Thess. V, 15), enjoined by Jeaus (Matthew ,v, 33) and by Moses (Leviticus, xlx, 18); second, Id arranging secular matters and espe cially acquiring property, let all things appear strictly honest (II Corinthians, vlll, 21); third, cultivate peace, by remov ing from one's conduct and spirit all that would cause utrlfo with any one (Ite btews, xll, 14), so that If discord cotno It shall be tho fault of others. Harmless ncss, honesty, peaccableness these three qualities that cannot well bo separated, are Immensely Important, absolutely es sential to tho spiritual welfare of tho be liever and to his Influence In tho world. Without these many are In perpetual anxiety nnd discomfort, unablo to gain or hold a idaco In tho esteem of thoso about them, and henco unable to accomplish much for tho cat. so ot God or man. VICTORY. Our lesson closes with di rections for mastering enemies, a high art which all must dcslru to learn. He who can transform a foo Into a friend Is a conqueror greater than he who takes a city. The directions (verses 19 to 21) de scribe the process. Tho Injured party must not nvengo hlrrf-elf, but must leave tho offender with God. There Is an Inti mation that tho Lord will repay He will conduct the caso If men allow Him, give Him room or oportunlty. If this first rule Is disregarded there Is no hopo of ro dross. Ho who punishes for 'njury re ceived Is further removed than before. (Matthew, xxvl, 62.) Rut, secondly, do good to the enemy feed him nnd give him drink, if ho has need, tho very advice Jcsua gave (Matthew, v, 41) which no man can follow unless tho heart 'has been renewed by grace. Rut whero Is tho man who can resist such treatment, who will not repent of his wrong doing and sock restoration to tho favor of one ill-treated".' Such a courso thereforo enables ona by goodness to triumph over evil. SUMMARY. Tho precepts of thlsi les son are nil Christian, not becauso they aro in harmony with the teaching of Christ, nor jet becauso they tend to make a Chrlst-llko character (both which, how ever, aro true), but because they accord with Christ's theory of true living. He never Intended to rcgulato men's conduct by rule thart would havo been Judaistlc and Pharisaic. Hut Ho sought to All the heart with lovo and to make that the reg ulative force. Precepts are valuable under tho Christian bystom only as they revtal what the heart will prompt, when lovo dominates it. So our lesson covers church relations, business engagements, several personal virtues, the treatment of enemies, the attltudo toward men in dif ferent stations, tho behavior proper at different times, the way to disarm foes, and all of this is but a commentary on the frulUgo of a regenerate and loving nature. (Luke, i. 45.) Let tho heart of man bo right, ond all his doing Fhall be right. And yet, to know whether the hcirt Is right we must know what the conduct ought to be. (.Matthew, vil. 10.)
