On What They Will Attack

ON TWO CHIEF ISSUES
The Tariff and the High Cost Of Living,
That Is All the Democrats, AS
sembled at Rochester, Have
Accomplished

this afternoon, but Mayor Geynor was
yet a possibility.
Rochester, n. g.. Sept. 30.-Norman
Il. Mack, chairman OF the national Dem
ocratic committee, makes the admission
that Charles r. Murphy controls the sit
uation as regards the nomination Of a
candidate for governor. Out Of the $50
delegates, he holds, with Kings county,
led BY John IL McCooey OF Brooklyn,
and Eric. led BY William Fitzpatrick
Of Buffalo, more than 200. Upstate
leaders recognize the hopelessness Of eff
fecting any coalition strong enough to
oppose him with any show Of success.
The problem that Mr. Murphy faces
Is one that needs all his caution, ex-
perience and judgment. lie must find a
strong candidate to run the race against
Henry J.. Stimson, backed BY Theodore
Roosevelt. a man who win command the
support of Democrats OF all shades Of
opinion. The leaders all feel that with
Mayor Gaynor eliminated from oousid-
Grafton as an candidate Mr.. Hearst be-
comes once more q factor with whom TO
reckon. The editorial utterances Of his
morning newspaper yesterday were inter
preted here TO mean that he is holding
himself uncommitted.
The candidates themselves are puzzled
and tired. They ask the newspapermen
eagerly for the latest information and
merely reitefate formal estimates Of
strength. Representative William Sulzer
says he is losing strength. Representa-
tive James $. Hayens IS still sure that
be cannot lose His managers said last
night that he would enter the convention
with the delegates to elect him safely

thing he had heard yesterday continued
to encourage him.

The inference from Murphys assur.
ance that the other lenders had failed
to agree on candidate was that at
least he felt free to select his own.

Herman A. Metz. Justice james W
Gerard, Justice Martin L. Keogh. Alton

news that Judge Parker's name was be-

Thinks Republicans VIII Win In New
York.

Oyster Bay, N. ", Sept 30. Theodore
Roosevelt returned early last evening
from Saratoga with the scalp of the
Republican old guard Of New York state
added to his big collection Of trophies.
When he reached Troy, n. ", last Mon
day on his way to Saratoga, he told
the crowd which met him at the sta
tion that he had returned from Africa
with O lot Of trophies and that when
he came back from Saratoga, he would
have more. The colonel made good his
word by returning to his home town,
the generally accepted leader Of the Re-
publican party In the state and I'M
mensely proud Of bis new trophy, to
win which he was compelled to make
one of the hardest fights OF his life.

lest night. He was tired and hoarse
when he reached Sycamore Hill, but in
Gne spirits. He expressed himself as
we'll pleased with the results Of the con-
vention, but mad no other comment
to make on anything related to poll
ities.
The colonel took train from Sara
toga at eight o'clock yesterday morning.
Reaching Poughkeepsie at noon, he at
tended a luncheon, drove two miles to
the Dutchess county fair grounds, made
speech there. and returned to the sta
tion in an hour and half His Pougn-
lxeepsie speech contained no reference
to politics, except repetition OF his
assertion that corruption must not be
tolerated.
On reaching New York late in the
afternoon, he started once more for
Oyster Bay by automobile. lie had
no visitors last evening, and said that
he hoped to have a quiet time for the
next few days, as tnere will be no let
up when once the campaign is fairly
under way. He has placed his services
at the Disposal Of the Republican state
committee and hopes to make at least
one speech to every county in the state.
He viii try to inject into the fght. all
the fire, and vigor Of bis personality
and make the campaign one Of the live
liest which New York state has seen
lin many a year.
In view of the victory Of the pro-
gressives at the convention, the colonel
believes the party has an excellent
il to take off his coat and piten in.
With Lloyd G. GrScom, chairman Of
the New York county Republican COM
mite, Cornelius Y. Collins, state SUI
perintendent Of prisons, Representative
Herbert Parsons, Congressman w w.

BURGOMASTER WORTH WHILE
City's Municipal Head Well Earned
Unique Distinction Accorded Him
by Grateful vlennese.

The fame of Joseph Schoeffel, re-
Gently deceased, and for many years
burgomaster of Moedling, Austria,
probably had not passed Austrian
boundaries; nevertheless he was cele-
brated within them. His vas the
unique distinction of being the only
Austrian subject to whom a statue
has been erected during his lifetime.
He won this honor by his successful
fight 40 years ago to prevent a
''ring" of spectators and officials
obtaining the ownership of the for
ests surrounding Vienna. He COM
PEELED the "ring" to sue him for
libel, won his case, and by his victory
obliged the government to make the
'eWienerwald" forever inalienable.
Hence the grateful Viennese hailed
him as the savior of the Wienerwald
and set up his image where all flu
ture raiders of the public lands
might see it and take warning. The
whole story is a striking chapter OF
the true romance of conservation.

"HUe" N

"In connection with humbug,'
'bugbear' and 'goldbug,' it may be
observed" says the London Chron-
icle, "that the last has probably no
direct suggestion of terror to the
American mind. Bug is freely
used in American for any kind Of
insect. Our English word, however,
is directly affiliated to the Celtic
word, which meant a demon or boz
gey. It is conjectured that when
the Objectionable insect became ac-
climated here, which was not many
centuries ago, the terror of its at
tacks earned it its name. We get
bug in its old sense in Shakespeare
This Warwick was a bug that

ADVERTISING DOGS CEMETERY

For several years Parisians and
English visitors to Paris have made
pious pilgrimages to the dogs GEM
etery, on the lie DIES Ravageurs, just
outside the CITY,. There they have
read with emotion such inscriptions
tbs "a mon Toutou ADORE" GA mon
malou cheri" and many others of a
similar kind. But it now transpires
that these tender tributes were the
invention of some enterprising stone
carver who, when the graveyard was
opened in 1899, was given a monop-
oily for the tombstones to be erected
over the graves of the canine favor
ties. In order to attract others he
erected SO stones in various parts of
the cemetery and engraved apocry-
phal inscriptions on them.
