Next morning the captain took the dog
on deck with him, but was much afraid
he would jump off to the toWpath and
try to return that way and so handsome
an animal would have been in danger of
being stolen.
Carlo, however, lay perfectly quiet, but
with an air of listening that attracted
notice Toward noon he heard the sound
Of the horn of a packet coming from the
opposite way, and, as the boats passed
each other, he made leap. and was
next heard from as having got of at
the place where his master stopped, and
as having gone at once to the house where
he was a guest.
Could human intelligence have sur
passed that?
This same dog lay on his masters
grave and refused food until he died

A gentleman who lived 100 miles from

the hustle of unloading he disappeared,
and two days afterward he reached his
former home, coming by an inland route,

him, SO that he evidently marked out his

Our STRONGEST SPEAKER.

Chairman Griggs, of the Democratic
Congressional Campaign Committee IS
quoted as remarking that President
Roosevelt is our the Democracy,s 81
strongest speaker in the field.
In sense that is eminently
true. President Roosevelt on his
western tour is forcing to the front
and concentrating public attention on the
tariff issue Thereby he is doing for the
Democrats what they very unWlsely
failed to do for themselves in their cam
paign book Mr.. Roosevelts swing
around is political junket in the Interest
of his own nomination for the presidency
in 1904. In his speeches he is outlining
the platform on which he expects to be
nominated; that he is joined to the idol
of high tariff protection, he has proclaim
ed in no uncertain tones He has chal-
lenged the Democrats to make tariff revl-
sion the paramount issue. For them to
fail to accept the challenge would be an
exhibition of Bootian stupidity but little
removed from criminal folly, seeing that
it is becoming more patent every day
that the surest guarantee Of the Dem.-
cracy's securing control of the govern
ment again lies in their commencing
now and wagng until 1904 vigorous,
unrcmitting and unrelenting fight on rob
Der protection.

The ST. Lofts Exposition authorities
have gotten the opinion of Professor Sol
dan as to the proper pronunciation of the
name of that city. He prefers st. Lew
is rather than 'St. Loo-i' His chief
reason is that that is the common usage
In the city in question. and is in accord
ance with the general tendency Of the
English language to assimiiate the pro-
nunciation of words derived from foreign
languages and in support of this practice
he says:
] remember that DR.. McCosh, Of Prince
ton University. pronounced the word
"oblige' as il it were spelled ''obleege."
1t was evident that in his day the French
pronunciation of the word prevailed. 1t
has been superseded by the pronunciation
now existing. The word tomato mas
passed through the successive stages OF
usage of .'to-mah-to,' ''to-mat-to, and
"to-ma-to' In short. the tendency seems
to be to pronounce a foreign name or
word, when first introduced, in accord
ance with the original pronunciation. ana
to change il gradually TO pronunclaton
which is more ldiomatic.

philadelphia Press Republican,
WASHINGTON, September 22.-Demo-
cratic managers are counting on financial
aid in this falls campaign from j. Pier
pont Morgan. their confidence being based
on his opposition to the Presidents policy
regarding trusts. Chairman Griggs has
openly boasted that he is securing imam
cial help from former supporters OF the
Republican party, and Congressman Pol
Of North Carolina, and other members OF
the Democratic committee say they are
receiving support from the trust magnates
in New York.
j. Pierpont Morgan's opposition to
President Roosevelt is well understood
by Republican manag gers, who know he
is determined. if possible, to defeat ME-
Roosevelt's nomination in 1904, and II he
fails in that, to attempt to secure the
nomination of Grover Cleveland as the
Democratic candidate and support MIN
for President. A friend of Mr.. Morgan's
lis authority that the latter has made
substantially this statement regarding
President Roosevelt:
HE must be defeated for nomlnat lon,
and a safe man must be nominated In MS
stead. If he cannot be defeated Tor noInl-
nation then we must see that the Demo-
Gratis nominate safe man like Cleveland,
whom the business interests can surpofl
and who can beat Roosevelt at the Polls.

Retribution not always swift and sure Iii
the case of William Hooper Young mas
been both. Less than five days elapsed
after the murder of Mrs. Anna PulltAer
before the man responsible for her death
had been tracked down and arrested. Inc
record of this remarkable tragedy may
be thus summarized:
Mrs. Pulitzer met Young little after
midnight on the morning Of Wednesday,
September 18th, and was persuaded by
him to so to hisIapartments in west FIFTY
eighth street. Her murder was accom-
plished some time that day.
Joseph P. Pulitzer Wednesday afternoon
informed the police that his wife was
missing from their home, at No. l6O west
Forty-siXth street.
Young on Wednesday evening went to
Hoboken, where he hired a horse and
buggy from Charles *. Evans, of No. 49,
Washington street. In the meantime he
had packed the body of his victim into a
trunk. Alfred Dolbey, bell-boy. assisted
Young to carry the body to the street, and
place it in the rented buggy.
Early Thursday morning Young drove
to the Morris canal, into which he threw
the body, fastening about the waist a
strap to which was attached hltchinG
weight taken from the buggy.
Thursday afternoon at low tide the body
of woman, manged and disflgured, was
discovered in the waters of the Morris
canal.
Joseph G. Pulitzer at o'clock Thursday
evening identified the body taken from the
canal as that of his wife.
Crowding into the trunk the clothing of
the woman, and adding some of his own
garments, the knife which had been used
in the tragedy, and memorandum with
his name written on the first page,
Young on Thursday evening shipped it to
a fictitious address in Chicago.
Early Friday morning Charles K. Evans
to sinll the body in the canal, as belonging
to him. and he gave a description of the
man who had rented his conveyance.
Following the lead given by Mr.. Evans
the identity of Young was established and
he was traced to his apartments, where
evidences Of the crime were discovered.
Young left New York presumably Friday
night.
Chief Of Police O'Neill, of Chicago. OBJ
tanned possession of the trunk shipped to
Chicago, opened it, and found that the
contents gave proof Of the guilt of loung.
Descriptions of the alleged assassin were
sent broadcast over the country, and on
Saturday the police found that YOUNG was
not far from New York.
Young was captured near Derby, Conn.,,
on Sunday afternoon, being recognized ~
a portrait published in the Herald. The
same night the trunk shipped to Chicago
arrived In New York.
Identification of Young was made posi-
tive yesterday and he admitted his guilt,
offering to return at once to New York.
