TAMMANY AND DEWEY.
STORY OF MAYOR VAN wYCK's CALL ON
THE ADMIRAL NOT GENERALLY
CREDITED

While the leaders in Tammany Hall have peen
guarded in their utterances about the candidacy OF
Admiral Dewey for the Presidency. yet they nave
made it pretty plain that the Admiral could expect
no support from the New-York delegation in the
Kansas City Convention. The interview with hich-
ard Croker obtained in England and cabled TO TINS
country yesterday, gave them the cue. and yester-
day they openly declared that Tammany would
not support Dewey but would be with Bryan IN
the next National Convention. This was the tenor
OF what Mr.. Croker said. and the Tammany lead
echoed his words. of
Mayor Van Wyck when he came down to his
office yesterday the report that he had been
in Philadelphia the previous day in consultation
with Admiral Dewey and that he had been ac-
companied by mysterious persons. supposed 10
be prominent Democratic leaders In this state.
The report said that this moeting between Admirai
Dewey and Mayor Van Wyck had been arranged
so that the subject of the Admiral's canoidacy
could be discussed and the end Of 1t was that the
Mayor promised support 10 the Admiral on behalf
of Tammany.
None of the Democratic politicians believed this
story when they first heard it, for the reason that
if such mission 10 be undertaken as 10 ar
range for a conference between Admiral Dewey
and the representatives of Tammany Hall for the
purpose of Tammany arranging to support Admifa
Dewey for the Presidential nomination Mayor van
Wyck would be about the last person in the or
ganization selected to act as spokesman 1heie-
fore when the Mayor said that he had not seen
Admiral Dewey since the day the latter called on
him at City Hall some time ago he was generaily
believed Nothing could be learned In this city
Yesterday as to who the mysterious persons were
visited the Admiral in Philadelphia, but II was
declared emphatically that the party ala not IN
elude Mayor Van Wyck his brother nor any
accredited representative of the Tammany organl-
cation.
John w Keller, president Of the Democratic
Club who is regarded spokesman Tor Hlch-
ard Croker, said yesterday:
am posltive that the Mayor has been in
Philadelphia to Admiral Dewey, but II he did
go | am sure il not represent Tdmmany

dent and while l don't presume to speak for the

opinions are practically unknown. When he de-
cares himself there will be plenty of time to weigh
what he says and consider his claims for the nom
nation Certainly there is reason to seriously
consider his nomination in the present vague con-
dition of affairs.

ANIMALS WILL ALWAYS
FIND THEIR WAY HOME

The hOming instinct develops in
young animals alnacst as early as the
desire for food In the wild state it is
a recea5ity. since without it the young
could never keep in touch with herd or
pack. Even after centuries Of domesti-
cation, it is still acute. Witness this
tale of little pigs. They were under a
month old when their owner decided to
move. He wanted TO fat and kill
thelr mothers, so offered the lot Of forty
at bargain price A neighbOr five
miles away bought the pigs, put them
in big box. hOiJted the box on a
wagon and nauied ii home. There the
pigs were put in q close pen fed with
milk and mCsIh for two weeks, then
given the range of a small lot ad-
jacent TO the pen. Three mornings later
every one was missing. A small hole
carefully rooted under the gate was
the sole explanation Of their disap-
pearance. The buyer searched high
and low for chem, sending even to ad-
Jac=nt farms, but could not find them.
That afternoon the original owner sent
word that he had found thirty-nine Of
the forty standing equealing at his gate
when he awOke The buyer. going to

Upon the same middle Tennessee
plantation 4-year-Old mare was
bought from an Ohio drove The drove
had been brought down on stock cars
to the country town, seven miles away
The mare seemed perfectly content in
her new surroundings, so after a week
or two she was allowed to pasture with
ether stock. For a day she was happy,
grazing and frOlicking with the rest
Toward noon of the second day a
watcher saw her suddenly fling up her

she had been fetched.

day for six weeks she had to 90 out
and help to separate her own turkeys
from some other flock Each of the
gIft-gobblers came back home, not once
but many times, with his harem at his
heels
Cats are proverbiaI hOmers. South
ern negroes have many entertaining su-
peBtitiOns connected with their trans
fer. In moving they say it is the worst
luck in the world to take along the cat
1t Is also very bad luck to give away
cat, unless its feet are creased. and
allowed to make marks on the threshold

hOming propensity can be destroyed by
putting butter on pUSSyS feet before
they touch anything in her new home.
Black Walnuts, which II is nearly as
bad luck to move as cats, may be made

ninety seconds nothing was heard in
