(A Queer Transaction.'
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.
A Royal Ron* to Wealth.
When a certain late shnh of Persia
became temporarily embarrassed for
money, he had quite a unique method
of lilling his purse, lie would go to
the market, where, after exnmiulng
the shops, he would select one and,
turning to the proprietor, would, say,
"Will you take me In as a partner In
roar business fc>r tl?e day?" The offe*
was, of ronrset eagerly accepted.

refuse the offers of the royal merchant,
sot about clearing the shop of
Its contents, paying sometimes ?50 for
goods that were not worth ?10. No
Kive was allowed to beat down prices
sr to leave the plnce without making
purchases. When everything was sold,
the 6hnh had a list of the cost price of
each article made out nnd loyally
shared with the shopkeeper Ue
amount of the profit realized.

It Is related of a clergyman who was
the father of a charming and beautiful
daughter that one day while preparing
his Sunday sermon he was suddenly
cnllpd away from his desk on a
mission of mercy. The sentence at
which he left off was this: "I never seo
a young man of splendid physique nnd
the promise of a glorious manhood almost
realized but my heart Is filled
with rapture and delight."
His daughter, hnppenlug to enter tfio
study, saw the sermon nnd rend the
words. Hitting down, she wrote underneath,
"My sentiments, papa, exactly!"

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.

OVER 1,000,000 PENSIONERS.
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. During July, how.
ever, 2,051 names were added to the
list, bringing the total to 1,001,497.
At the end of the last fiscal year
the number on the rolls exceeded all
previous records, and with the July a<lc.tion
It has passed the predictions
made by those who have opposed pension
legislation. Pensions growing
out of the Spanish-American war have
had a great deal to do with the increase,
although the number of netrialry
penwtoncd.ts small In proportion
to the entire number of men?something
like 500,000?who served In" that
war.
