ON A TOUR OF THE RIO 6RANDE.
A Pelican Captured While Viewing
the Sights of Our City-It Has
Been Purchased,

Early this morning while Mexicsns
in the vicinity of the river directly
south of town were busy preparing
breakfast, a very attractive visitor in
the shape of a white pelican appeared
and seemed to be greatly attracted by
the sigh ats presented st this point. 1t
came down the river and pass ed
through the town but when it reached
point half mile east of town it turn
ed and came back.
1t stopped on the river bank and af-
fOrded it's. pursuers an excellent oppor-
tunity and they killed the visitor and
brought its remains to the city and it
was purchased by Mr.. Stevens of the
Acme saloon. and will be turned over
to taxidermist to be properly set up
fOr'display. The largest birds of this
tribe seldom measure over nine feet
from tip to tip of the wings ana the
one brought in this morning measures
eight feet.
Pelicans of some species are found in
nearly all temperate and tropical coun-
tries, deriving their whole sustenance
from the water. They frequent lakes,
rivers and ses-cOasts, and generally
secure their prey by wading or swim
ming and scooping it into their poun-
ches. They breed usually on the
ground near the water and lay from
one to three eggs.
The one brought in this morning is
white with its wings tipped with brown
and will prove q great attraction when
prepared for exhibition,

A BIG FRAUD
That a ShreWd SWind1er ATTEMPTED
to Commit Has Just Come to
Light In JuareZ.

Some unknown person apparently
endeavored to operate smooth swind.
ling scheme in this vicinity a short
time ago. The game, however, fell
through and no one was the loser there
by, and the game of the sharper will
serve but to put business men on their
guard.
A. N. Daguerre, of Juarez, seems to
| have been chosen as the innocent vic
| tim of the swindler. His name was
| used without his consent or knowledge
and large consignment of boots and
shoes was ordered from q large St.
Louis shoe factory. It is presumed
that the goods were ordered shipped
to Mr.. Daguerre in care of same fictici-
GUS broker who would have taken the
goods from the custom house, paid the
duties and disappeared, $4,000 better
off,
The goods were not shipped for the
reason that the shoe factory wanted
security. That is how the transaction
was discovered, The firm sent the
Juarez miller the following letter:
Mr.. A. N. Daguerre, @. Juarez, Mex
leo.

get such information as to your affairs
that would warrant us in extending

US, say one-half, and have us draw bill
of lading attached for the balance, we
can do so. But in the absence of any
knowledge of your responsibility, we
are unable to do better than as sugges-
ted.
We hope to hear from you promptly.
Yours truly, Roberts, johnson &
Rand Shoe Co.
The following blank contract was at
tached to the letter, to be filed out
and returned, after which the goods
would have been shipped:

His children in His Mouth.

In the Nile there Is a singular fish that
has been known from early Bible times.
IL Is dedicated TO the apostle Simon or Pc
ter, and is known as Tilapia slmonis, and
Is especially common in Palestine and the
sea or lake of Tiberius.
Nearly all these fishes have a singular
method Of caring for their young. At the
time of spawning the mother fish forms a
little nest among the reeds and rushes, In
which she deposits perhaps 200 green eggs,
about the size of shot, which she imme-
diately deserts. Curiously enough, In all
the thousand of fishes, but three or four
instances are known where the mother
displays any affection for her young or re-
mains by them.
The father stations himself by the nest
and presently appears TO be dining upon
the eggs; but If he is carefully watched it
will be seen that he is taking them into
his mouth with the greatest care, and not
swallowing them. They are lodged in
what corresponds to the cheeks, and held
there.
The eggs soon hatch, the little fishes
grow and the countenance of Mr. Tilapia
becomes greatly swollen and pulled out Of
all semblance to his former self. He can
not begin to close his mouth, and pre-
sents a most extraordinary appearance.
To accommodate and protect the growing
-
conveniences, and only permits them to
escape when Il Is a physical impossibnity
to hold them any longer. At this time the
father will undergo severe treatment rather
than relinquish his progeny He has
been thrown out upon the beach, but SIN
clngs to his charge, even during his death
struggles. Many of the young remain in
this singular cradle until they are four
inches in length.
The male sea horse has a little pouch
in us ventral surface into which, IN come
manner, 1t places the eggs of its mate.
When they are Matched and become TOO
numerous and large to control, the sea
horse presses the pouch against a stone
and gently urges them 20 take their de-
parture. At this lime they are almost in
visible to the naked eye, bur IN "A strong

WILLIAM AS A COLLEGE BoY.

Fought Ducls, Joined Drinking
Bouts and Lived Democratic Life
The present kaiser attended the Univer-
sity of Bonn. remaining there for four
terms, from 1877 TO 1879 He Joined the So
clety called "Borussla" and was an ac-
tive member OF this corps. like his father
Frederick before him. Naturally there was
some disposition TO show him some con-
sheraton but German student corps are
most democratic institutions, and Prince
Wilhelm insisted upon being treated just
like the others He took part In the fenc-
ing bouts, giving and taking hard blows,
but there is no record of his having been
wounded. Perhaps the fact that one arm
Is shrunken prevented him from entering
any real fight with swords aside from the
fact that no one would have dared to
challenge the heir-apparent TO the throne.
That he was very popular appears from
The fact that when he left the university,
at the end of the summer term of 1879 a
solemn Komitat QeasO was rendered him
on July 81. The streets of Bonn We're gaily
decorated as the students marched in pro-
cession to the Hotel KEY, where a great
feast was pread. The Prince made a
speech in which he said: Il am very sorry
that must leave your Jony ranks 50 SOoD.
You have received me in the student corps
and In the corps of Bonn l have learned
to understand the ruling spirit, both at the
kneipe drinking bouts) and in the fencing
hall. it is a good, German, courageous
spirit, 10 which / hope 10 remain true 20
the very end"
In 1891, the Emperor presided at feast
rendered him on a visit to Bonn, by the
students of the university and on that
occasion he said; 1T is my firm convic-
ton that every young man who enters
a student corps receives a powerful life
impulse from tho spirit which prevails
there. II is the very best training that a
young man can get for his future life.
Whoever attacks the German corps does
not understand its aims. l hope that so
long as there are German students corps,
the spirit which is aroused I'm the corps,
increased by courage and strength, viii
continue, telling in good hard blows. Our
duels are not generally understood. But
that should not drive us astray. We who
have belonged 20 the student corps we
know better. AS in the middle ages, HUI
man strength and courage were increased
by the turner's, so now by the spirit and
communal life of the corps the quality of
steadfastness will be raised to higher de-
gree to be of the greatest value in che
after life.'
So william III of Germany has a pretty
lofty idea of the value of the German stu
dent life.
