ANIMAL ODDITIES.

1t is said that the frigate bird can
f1y an entire week without stopping to
rest.
Some of tie cats in Liberia are OF
a bright red tint, and they are very
conspicuous in the moonlight.
The cry of a young seal when wound
ed or about to be attacked resembles
that of a child in distress, and tears
flow from it's eyes.
The common herring is the most diff
fcult of all marine creatures to catch
alive for an aquarium. A whale is
the most difficult to preserve alive.
Cranes, storks and wild geese fly
fast enough to make the trip from
northern Europe to Africa in a week,
but most of them rest north Of the
Mediterranean.
A fox is dainty as well as crafty
and prefers the tongues of lambs for
food. He has been seen to chase sheep
until they, on becoming tired, hung
out their tongues, which he then tears
off and eats.
A caterpillar cannot see more than a
centimeter ahead-that is to say, less
than two-ffths Of an inch. The hairs
on the body are said to be of as much
use as it's eyes in letting it know what
is going on around.

A QUEER EXPERIENCE.

strongly built bay horses and began to

carefully hooked them to my surrey.
l personally saw that every strap was

taken to have them so harnessed that
there could be nothing to fret them.

His Solemn Oath.

a popular comedian tells a story of
q waiter at a~London restaurant who
was sadly given to drink. A party of
young men determined to reform him,
and one day they read to him an mag
mary paragraph from paper relating
terrible accident in which an inebrt-
ate in blowing out a candle was killed
by the flame igniting the alcoholic
fumes of his breath. James pricked
up his ears at this and requested that
the paragraph might be read to him
again, which was done, to the evident
horror of the poor man, who imme-
dlately went in search of Bible.
Returning with this, he expressed a
desire to take a solemn oath upon it,
oemoaned the fact that he had been a
sorry tippler and was bringing himself
10 ruin and then swore that never
again so long as he lived would he at
tempt to blow out candle.

A WOMAN MURDERED
Stabbed, Stripped, Flung Into
Morris Canal.
Iost ph Pull Ter ldenlifi The Woman as His
Wife ard is Detained by the
(Rv the Associated Press. }

New York, Sept 1S.-The nude body oil
young woman was found today in the
Morris Canal between Newark and Jer-
sey City, and was tonight identified by
Joseph Pulitzer, of 100 West Forty sixth
street. Manhattan. as that of his wife
Annie, who had been missing since Tues
day.
The discovery OF the body was made
by the driver of an express wagon pass
ing along the plank road on the bank OF
the canal on the Meadows. An attempt
had been made to sink it with a twenty
pound iron weight attached to a long
hitching strap, the other end of which
was tied around the woman's waist. A
long stab wound was found in the abdo-
men and a later examination by County
Physician Converse revealed the fact that
the womans skull was fractured. DR..
Converse thought that probably two days
had elapsed since the killing, but that the
body had been in the water only a few
hours.
The body was removed to Jersey City
and Chief of Police Murphy put all his
available detectives on the case.
Pulitzer and his wife lived at the ad-
kept by Mrs. Fleming Mrs Fleming
said today that the couple had been with
her for about a month. and that the hus-
band was journeyman tailor. On Tues
day evening Mrs. Fleming said that
Pulitzer complained of feeling i'll and that
his wife went out about midnight saying
that she would get him some fruit. Mrs.
Fleming said that she did not see Pulit-
ger again until this morning when he
told her that his wife was missing, and
that he had been telephoning to her rela-
tives in the hope of finding some trace
of her. This afternoon he went to police
headquarters and gave a description of
his wife. He returned home for dinner
when he was shown an afternoon paper
containing an account of the finding of
the body and on reading the description,
which tailed with that of his wife, hur-
ried to Jersey City, where he identified
the BODY.
Afer the Identification Pulitzer was de-
tanned by Chief Murphy, who phoned to
police Headquarters in this city, as he
regarded the case as suspicious. In re-
Spouse Captain Titus sent detectives to
the house and searched the room occupied
by the couple.
Later it was announced al police head
quarters that nothing had been found in
the Pulitzer rooms that could throw any
light on the mystery. Pulitzer and a
man named Shields, who accompanied
him were detained as witnesses by Chief
Murphy, who is inclined to believe that
Pulitzer has told all he knows of the dis
appearance of his wife.

The Jewish Exodus From Roumania.
(By the Associated Press.)

London Sept 19.-In a dispatch from
Bucharest. Roumania dated Sunday, Sep
TENDER 14th, correspondent of the Daily
Express says the emigration fever among
the Jews of Roumana still continues, and
that within the last four months 5000
Jews have left the country.
Although the reason given by the en-
igrants leaving is their inability to OBJ
tain work, the Jews steadily refuse to
take no farm labor Proof of this is
found in that within the last three years
Roumana has paid for outside Bulgarian
labor something like 100000, which
might hav gone to the Jews if they would
only turn their hands to help in harvest.
