Origin Of Tory.

From the LONDON Times.
Sir Walter Scott's explanation OF the
origin of tory" as give me" is not
quite the same as that Of other inquir-
ers. According to a high authority, the
word is Irish for q 'pursuer." and was
at first given to moss-troopers, who. for
their own viliainous purposes, pretended
to be on the side of the crown and the
constitution and the rights OF property,
and In that disguise haunted the bogs of
Ireland robbing the inhabitants in the
name Of the king About 1850 those who
commended for the extreme prerogatives
Of the crown" had this contemptuous
term applied to them by their opponents.
and thus we arrive at the meaning of
today. Macaulay points out as a curious
circumstance that ''whig' and tory"
originally applied as term of insult
should so soon have been assumed with
pride. An odder circumstance is that
two great English parties should have
taken their titles, the one from the bogs
of Ireland and the other from the Low
lands OF Scotland.

tested that is. by dividend yield and divi-

The leading and influential features Of
the list until we'll into the afternoon at
least were Southern Pacific, the Union

United States Steel. The last named
stock made no aggressive advance. but 1t
did display great firmness under heavy
pressure.
1t would be useless to seek or cite
particular reasons for the movement of
the various issues just referred to, but
there can be no gainsaying the impress
sion which they produce on Wall street
minds when they move as they did this
morning. They are stocks which repre-

Held Their Ground.

Business contracted in volume around
midday, but the strong stocks of the
morning held their advanced ground very
well. At last three of what Wall street
calls the mystery stocks, because their
prices are not obviously related to pres
ent dividend returns, but seem to include
prospective fanciful disbursements, were
very strong.
These were Consolidated Gas, Union Pa
cific preferred and Reading second pre-
ferred. The first two of these were es-
pecially active. Another feature of the
dealings was the evident indication by the
course of prices that this was a good day
on which to sell specialties, both railroad
and Industrial. AT all events most of the
issues in the speciality class which have
had an active inning lately were rather
reactiOnary.
Among the standard stocks reactionary
tendencies were more or less confined to
issues Of the so-called Hill roads, Great
Northern preferred and Northern Pacific,
which were distinctly heavy.

NEW YORK, December 16.-Quite a
bullish demonstration was made in the
stock market this morning. Good news
came out yesterday in the increase in the
Reading dividend, the significance of the
enlarged distribution being of more con-
sequence than the gauge of Readings in
vestment value which the increase fur
nishes. If the temper of the stock mar
ket community and the situation in the
market itself had been what they were
during most Of the recent months, more
or less heavy selling movement would
have been hardly an unexpected develop
ment this forenoon. Wherefore. the ac-
tual transactions and course of prices
may perhaps be taken to measure the
change or improvement which has taken
place in Wall street sentiment and mar
ket conditions.
The opening was active and. although
slightly irregular, characterized by a de-
cidedly firm tone. The promise of firm
ness was borne out in the subsequent
forenoon dealings by marked strength
in a somewhat narrow range of interest.
perhaps, but nevertheless in decidedly
influential quarters. Toward the end of
the second hour the market felt the
weight of profit-taking sales and dis
played excessive irregularity.

AL BERT PULITZER ENDS LIFE
Americas journalist Makes Doubiy
Sure OF Death.

Vienna, Oct. 4.-Albert Pulitzer. a
brother of Joseph Pulitzer, publisher
of the New York World, committed
suicide in this city. 1t was evident
that he made doubly sure of death, for
all the indications pointed to the fact
that he had first swallowed poison and
then, standing in front of mirror,
had sent bullet from revolver
through his right temple. An empty
poison bottle lay on the table in Mr..
Pulitzers room.
Mr.. Pulitzer had dismissed his at
tendants and asked to be left alone.
Some time later Dr. Pollak, who has
been attending Mr.. Pulitzer, called to
make his usual visit and found him
lying dead on the floor in front of his
dressing table.
Mr.. Pulitzer, who had suffered a
nervous breakdown, was greatly de.
pressed over the failure OF his physi-
clans to benefit him.

OPENING or HARVARD HOUSE
AMBASSADOR Reid TO Accept Historic
Building For America.

SSbS4h"S ~ SN"t~s'S0s
The first public function which will
be undertaken by Whitelaw Reid on
his return to England will be the
opening of the Harvard House in
Stratford-on-Avon The date cf the
function has been fixed by the ambas-
sador himself for Oct. 6, SO that the
ceremony may be coincident with the
installation Of DR.. Lowell as the new
president Of Harvard university. The
Harvard House was the home of
Katherine Rogers, the mother Of John
Harvard, and from its threshold she
went out to be married to Robert Har-
ward of Southwark. From this union
sprang the founder of Harvard uni
versity.
1t is chiefly to Miss Marie Corelli.
the novelist, that the gift Of Harvard
House to America is due. She long
cherished the idea that the Stratford-
on-Avon dwelling, where John Har-
wards mother lived and where he him
self often stayed in childhood, should
belong to Harvard university.
Miss Corelli was strongly supported
In her scheme by Edward Morris Of
Chicago, who bought the house and
intrusted Miss Corelli with its repair
and also its furnishing in the style Of
the Harvard period. The work con-
cluded, Mr.. Morris presented the
house to Harvard university. 1t was
accepted and is to be held in perpetui-
ty under body Of trustees.
The house is perhaps the mcsr beau
