The German bicycle manufacturers,

In ancient times, several years prior
to the British occupation of Egypt,
some of the people of that country
worshiped the crocodile as god, there
being nothing else like him. They fed
him on dainties and logged him out
with jewelry In other parts of Egypt,
however, the natives looked upon him
as a devil. Having no firearms, they
did not fill him with lead, but they
managed to immediate him successfully
with such weapons as were fashionable
at the time. 49, sr

cataract on account Off the annoyances
ipseparable from tourist traffic. IT
seems impossible for a tourist to see a
crocodile without trying to plug him
with a revolver, and to a reptile that
is fond of quiet life this sort of thing
is simply insufferable. He Will not
modest a man unless he can take him
at a disadvantage and so long as a
man does not unthinkingly step on him
the crocodile will go his way and calm
ly await his opportunity.
He feeds on fish, but for a course din

is no accounting for taste even among
reptiles. His methods of capturing
large game are plural as well as singu-

bank, partly covered with sand or mud
until an absent-minded native wanders
within reach. Having grabbed his prey
he will waddle into the river and there
drown the struggler. He will then
drag his victim ashore and bury him in
sand or mud and wait for days before
he gorges himself. s'ai

Mr.. Chairman and sGen. Buekner: The

of love and affection which greet The presen-

the representatives Of all the states of this
Union when it was proclaimed.
They tell us that that convention was net
regular. 1t is asserted. that lG mai no proper
warrant, by party authority for meeting or
for taking action. We will not deny that the
convention which assembled at Chicago had
the right, If they chose, to exercise it. to
declare Democratic principles We simply
content ourselves with asserting that they
refused to perform the duty which was in
their power to perform. Democracy is some
thing more than name. Democracy is some
thing more than legend; and, although an
assemblage clothed in the uniform and vested
in the official badges of Democratic authority
may take our banner and masque. aie in cur
uniform, they leave to US the possession Of

BOMB FOR ROADS.
Western Association Set by the Ears
by the BurlingtOn's Action.

CHICAGO, Sept. 12.-The Burlington
road has taken action that has set the
western Passenger association by the
ears. 1t has announced it's intention Of
paying commissions to ticket agents
on Grand Army business. Strong pres
sure has been brought to bear on the
Burlington to get it to change its in
tention, but 1t has refused to do so and
commissions will be paid 1t was long
ago agreed between the association
roads that no commissions should be
paid on the Grand Army business and
as far as the direct payment of money
Is concerned, the agreement has kept.
Some of the roads have, however, paid
commissions in an indirect manner by
issuing large amount Of free trans
portat1on to those who were able to
influence traffic. The Burlington de-
clares that it paid no indirect commits
sicns, and says, In its opinion, the ticket
agents are more entitled to the COM
missions than are outside parties 1t
is firm in it's position and commissions
will be paid to ticket agents who sent
business over the Burlington.

The abolition Of the Minnesota in

decreases the number Of inspectors in

the men who served there have been
transferred to some extent to other
points.
Minneapolis has the largest number
of men in the inspection services of
