Sir Arthur Sullhrnn discovered at Monte Carlo one time that certain restaurant proprietors hod n way of regulating their charges with the appearance and standing of their customers. When lunching alone, Sir Arthur was In the habit of frequeutlng one particular place whore"he knew to a centime what the prices were. One day there sat at the table ndjoln^.g Ills own a wealthy Itussinn nobleman. Upon asking for his bill the composer found that the prices were exorbitantly high, lie sent for the proprietor and demanded an explanation. The man, an Italian, recognized Sir Arthur as an Influential client nnd was profuse In his apologies, lie explained that the mistake lay with the cashier." Going over the Items to wlileh exception was taken, the proprietor sakl: "The convert I take him off directly. and the butler 1 charge him to the grand duke. lie not notice It." The Idea of charging to the grnud duke an Item against whose extortionate price another customer protested always struck the great composer as a decidedly humorous way of gettiug out of the difficulty.

I UN HOOPER YOUNG I LAWS DRIP FASTENS Murderer of Mrs. Pulitzer Arrested at Derby, Conn. HZ TALKS or .THE MURDER. M/a na l/io nox rvni pairs, runuar, but that Another Man Did and that Afterwards Tried to Cut Body Up and Put It In a Trunk. Derby, Conn., Sept 23.?William Hooper Young, the alleged murderer of Mrs. Annie Pulitzer In New York, left here this morning for New York In the custody of New York detectives. In the guise of a tramp he had been wandering about the country for several days, when be was arrested Sunday evening by the deputy police on suspicion. Although his description corresponded closely with that s|vt out by the New York officers, the prisoner at first stoutly denlc-l any connection with the murder, and even when he was confronted with a man who was formerly a fellow-workman, he still denied his Identity. But last evening, upon the arrival of a man with whom he had been Intimately acquainted, the prisoner acknowledged that he Is William Hooper Young. During the Interview with the ofll(cers which followed Young's admission of his Identity, lie is said to have ' made a confession regarding the crime. The exact nature of this confession was not made public. Young's departure was witnessed by several hundred persons at the railroad station, but he paid no attention to the curiosity of the spectators. He looked fresh and much better than yesterday when he went through th9 trying ordeal of Identification. The prisoner made no objection to hln removal to New York. William P. Hart, of New York, who has been retained as counsel for Young arrived here early today. He Immediately wont to the jail and talked with Young for an hour or more. At the dose of the Interview Hart said: "If this man Is sane. If he Is all right. I do not know what to think. His ctory Is more like that of a madman. It 1b simply wonderful. "I want to have him exnmlned by an expert on insanity before I go on. His motive was not revenge." YOUNG'S STATEMENT. Detective Captain Titus Has Interview with Him. New York. Sept. 23.?The train from Derby, Conn., with William Hooper Young on board, arrived at the Orand Central station at 9:20 o'elock this morning. There was 400 or BOO people at the station when the train came In. The crowd was/ orderly and na demonstration against Young was made. Preparations for taking care of Young and keeping the crowd rrom surrounding him had been made, and when tin train was stopped the passengers were told to keep their seats for a few minutes. Then Young, who was In the smoking car, was taken off first. He was led to a closed carriage and, accompanied by Detective Sergeants Hughes and Findlay and Mr. Hart, the prisoner's couneol, who came down from Derby with the party, was driven to police headquarters. The prisoner, handcuffed to Findlay, was led through a large crowd that had gathered to see him. Ho plainly was in a condition bordering on collapse when led up the steps into headquarters. Shortly after Young had been In the detective headquarters, Lawyer Hart appeared and said In reply to Inquiries: "Young Is . an Innocent man. Tho police believe they have rot him on an alleged confession, which he made before he had legal counsel. It will be proven that Young was not even an accomplice." At the close of the Interview between Detective Captain Titus nn.1 Young, Captain Titus said Young had made the following statement: "About three weeks ago I met n man named Charles Simpson Elllng In Central Park. He accosted me. We talked and got acquainted, though he was a degenerate. After that he called on me several times at my flat. "On the night Mrs. Pulitzer died Eillng and I met her at Ilroadway and Forty-Sixth street by appointment I had made. We went to the flat together. I went out for some whiskey aixer we got there and left Elllng and the woman alone. When I got baek I found Mrs. Pulltser lying across the bed with a gag In her mouth. Eilin3 had gone. ripped open her clothing and moved her hands back and forth over ( her head to induce respiration. When she did not breathe I put my hand un-1 der her waist and felt her heart. It was not beating. Then I decided to notify the police, but thought that nstead of calling a policeman to go to police headquarters, which I thought was In the Hty hall. I got on tlia train and started down town and on 1 the way I got to thinking what a lot of disgrace the affair would bring on me and my father. That made me decide to get rid of the body. "I took a long knife and cut Into the ' body, intending to cut the body up ao that I could get It Into a trunk. . When I made the first cut the odor was so awful that I could go no further." Captain Titus >al^ ^ prison er described Elliot as being a man * about 23 year* old, smooth-faced, S feet 7 Inches In height, with a "bright clear look In his eyes, pale face and wearing dark clothes with a straw hat when last eecn." When C'.ptaln Titos had finished speaking. Assistant District Attorney Garvin said: "Captain Titus has saM that thl3 man made practically the same aattement to his connsel. That is not so. The captain Is mistaken. We don't know what he tohl his counsel." Captain Titus then aald: "That Is all of the statement he made. He volunteered all of that. Knowing that his rights are being pro >vv>?u, wc vkuuw qunuun mm now. Captain Titus s&ld that Young had not explained how the woman came by the wounds on her head. Young , was arraigned on an affidavit made by Detective Sergeant Hughes, and ' the hearing was set for Sept. 30. The proceedings .were brief and without any unusual Incident. KILLED FROM AMBUSH.

Roll Passes the Predictions of Those Opposing Pension Legislation. Washington, Sept. 23.?The United States pension list has passed the 1.000,000 mark. The annual report of Commissioner Ware, which will be made public foe the annual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic. will show that at the end of the last fiscal year ending June last, the pension rolls lacked 554 names of being 1,000,000.
