The River Ore.

From the London Spectator.
Few rivers In England have so many
names, or such strange adventures, as the
Suffolk Ore, which, after flowing for six
teen miles imprisoned by the pebble bank
of Oxford Beach, joins the sea at last In
Hollesley bay. It begins life somewhere In
Mid-Suffolk as the "Ore." Above Aide
burgh it widens into broad lakes bounded
by hills, and Is called on the maps the
"River A1de," but by those who live on It
or by 1t the "Iken river" At Adeburgh
1t ought. by all the rules Of river behavior.

swelling flood turns at right angles to its
course, and flows south and still south.

TAME ALLIGATORS.

Singular Intelligence and DOciIfty of
the Big Reptiles In the Bronx Zoo.
From the New York Sum
Curator Raymond L. Ditmars has made
an interesting experiment with five big
alligators In the reptile house Of the
Geological Park In the Bronx, proving
that those sullen. sluggish brutes have q
greater portion of intelligence than is
usually conceded to them. In other places
1t Is common to throw the food into tho
tank where the alligators are kept and let
them pick it up as best they can. Every
thing they don't catch before it has sunk
Is lost to them; because 1t is almost i'm
possible for them to pick up anything
from the bottom. The result is a great
waste Of food and the constant polluting
of the water.
To avoid this Curator Ditmars has trained
the alligators in his charge to come to the
edge of their tank and receive the food
directly from the hands Of the keepers
1t took him only three weeks to do this
and starvation was the means used to
complete their instruction. They simply
did not get any food until they had learned
to come for it. When feeding time arrives
now, which Is every Sunday afternoon,
the alligators behave with an intelligence
worthy of animals OF a much higher scale
of development.
1t takes about sixty pounds OF meat and
fish to satisfy the five Of them. Their diet
is mainly Of chicken cut into pieces. freshly
killed pigeons and herring. It often hap
pens that they are asleep on the bottom
Of the tank when the keepers bring the
food, but not one OF them fails to wake
up with a start the moment the food pals
are put down on the floor. Then, with
one accord, they start for the corner near
est to the food and line up along the edge
of the tank. with their great jaws on the
floor and five pairs Of hungry eyes riveted
upon the pals.
There can be no doubt at all about their
comprehension of what is going to happen.
fowls and fish out Of the pals the reptiles
repair to the spots where they are accus-
toned to receive their weekly allowance
Big Nose, the patriarch Of the tank floats
ponderously in the center. while the other
four seek different corners. When the
food is dropped to them, they push eagerly
out Of the water to catch 1t and generally
manage to intercept It on its way down.
The keepers have to be careful to with
draw their hands quickly lest the rapacious
brutes catch the hand. too. The birds
are swallowed whole, feathers. bones and
ALL without even an attempt at chewing.
The smaller ones-none less than five
feet from nose to tail tip-take what is
thrown at them. but Big Nose Is some
what of q crank and persstently re-
fuses to eat the same food as the others do
He does not care for pigeons at all, and
shifts scornfully when one is offered to
him. A favorite dish of hts. on the other
hand, Is Belgian hares, of which he likes
to have two unskinned- When he cannot
get them he prefers fish, six big herring
a meal for him.
The two Cuban crocodiles are fed In the
same way once a week, their meal con-
sisting. Of a whole pigeon. or two fishes
apiece.

HAND-SHAKING IN MEXICO.
A Custom That fs General Across the
Rio Grande.

A Custom That is General Across the
Rio Grande.
From the Mexican Herald.
IIandshaKing In Mexico is much more
commonly indulged in than in Anglo-Saxon
countries. Foreigners resident here for any
length of time inevitably fall into the habit
unconsciously Of shaking hands upon all
occasions and 1t becomes so natural that
upon their return to countries where a more
distant formality is observed they are at a
loss to know what to do with their hands,
and must frequently reflect upon their sur
roundings in order not to feel almost an
affront at the nod Of a passing friend or
the unceremonious entrance and departure
of guests.
In Mexico friends would not think OF en-
tering or leaving house without shaking
hands, not only with the host and hostess
but all other guests who might be present
and the ladies would kiss each other, both
coming and going. on both cheeks. They
even observe this formality upon the occa-
sion Of chance meeting on the street or
in the car. Gentlemen acquaintances pass
ing each other on the street either tip their
hats as they would to a lady, or at least
salute each other with the hand by touch
ing the hat. or in more Of military fash
ion. Gentlemen who are old friends stop
and shake hands and pass the compliments
some time. they will undoubtedly 60
through what Is termed the bear hug"
put their arms around each other and pat
each other on the back, one passing one
arm over the shoulder Of his friend, the
other under his arm, while the second party
occupies reverse position. When this en-
brace Is concluded they shake hands and
the conventional words of greeting Then
they are ready to inquire as to the respec-
tive health Of the members Of the two fam
lilies. Gentlemen shake hands with many
of their friends both upon entering and
leaving street car. The inspector Of the
tickets on the cars will shake hands with a
number Of his regular passengers every
morning; clerks behind the counter of q
dry goods store will shake hands with tho
customers that they know. and when the
employees of q store or mercantile estab-
lishment assemble in the morning the for
NAL greeting is never omitted.

CHICAGO. September 7.-Buried close to
where the Haymariket monument stood. in
Randolph street, city laborer found two
large dynamite bombs. Word Of the dis
covery spread quickly and a crowd soon
gathered around the excavation and gaxed
curiously at the explosives
They were taken to Inspector Shea's Of
flee, in the Desplaines street station. The
inspector ordered them destroyed.
Street laborers began work early in the
day tearing up the pavement around the
spot where the monument to the victims

appeared to be two old sections Of iron

Two city detectives, noticing the crowd
that gathered. quickly forced their way
through the throng to see what was wrong.
When they saw the bombs they took them
at once to the Desplaines street station.
A superficial examination Of the two
bombs convinced Inspector Shea that they

GREENFIN4D. Mass. September 7.-Sec-
retary OF the Interior Hitchcock passed
through here this morning on q special
train en- route to Buffalo. Speaking Of the
attempted assassination Of the President,
Secretary Hitchcock said:
II cannot yet fully realize that such Q
crime has been committed or was possible.
Insane or an anarchist, the person who
fired the shots should be given very little
consideration
TT seems Impossible that any human be-
ing should have the heart to commit sFch
a terrible crime. There has been no other
President since Abraham Lincoln who has
received the love and admiration that the
American people have given to William Nc
Kfnley. His whole life has been devoted to
their welfare and happiness.
The crime that has been committed Is
barbarous beyond expression. I rejoice
that the bulletins from the President are 80
favorable. The whole country hopes for
his recovery"

BUFFALO, N. Y, September Under
the code Of criminal procedure prisoner
has the right to a speedy hearing before a
magistrate. Whether this right will be
given to Czolgosz Is matter Of speculation.
A News reporter asked Chief Of Detectives
Cusack today when Czolgosz would be
brought into the police court.
II don't KNOW" said Mr. Cusack The
matter rests with District Attorney Penney.
His wishes will be obeyed by us. 1 don't
know when he will be taken into court. 1t
may be that we shall walt to see how the
Presidents injuries result"
It has not been determined whether Czol-
gosz will be kept at police headquarters or
taken, to Jail, but in all probability he Will
be kept at police headquarters and closely
guarded until he has preliminary hearing
in the POLICE court.

Lessons From the Match.


The competitions with the Irish and Ca
madam teams, while they have resulted In
defeat for the American ri1emen, have
proved Of vast value to the United States.
The coming Of the foreigners has set our
military representatives shooting at the
long ranges. 800. 800 and 1000 yards, dis
tances that heretofore have been entirely
neglected. The United States forces have
In the past confined their work to 200, 800,
500 and 6OO-yard ranges. The members of
the Canadian team explain that prior to
coming to Sea Girt they had never fired
at such q short distance as 200 yards. They
go on the theory that In modern warfare,
with modern firearms the soldier who can
hit the mark at 1,OO0 yards will have more
opportunity to put his skill to good use
and will serve his country better than the
sharpshooter who Is an expert up to 600
yards. but no further. There is reason be-
hind this theory. and the stimulus having
been given during the present tournament.
it is certainty that practice at the long
ranges will hereafter be a regular thing
throughout the country. Within the past
fortnight the District OF Columbia has de-
veloped a number OF excellent long dis
tance shots. 1t is far from unlikely that
next year America will send rifle teams to
Ireland and to Canada to endeavor to bring
back to this country the trophies that were
won here by the foreigners yesterday and
Thursday. The personnel OF the teams to
represent America, If such are organized
and sent abroad, will undoubtedly include
goodly showing from the District OF Co.

died in vain. Speaking of President
McKinley's having inaugurated the
movement looking to the governments
care of the graves of the Confederate
dead as same as of the Federal dead,
taking the ground that they died for
what they believed to be right, as did
those of the Federal side, and that they
were therefore all American heroes, he
said: "And thus through the good Of
fees OF our great and good President
Dixie has come to her own. She now
blossoms in n regenerated soil, from
which springs no noxlous weed, no 'ir-
repressible confict'-a soil cleansed
and sanctifed by the mingled blood of
the blue and the gray out of which
will grow in the years of better and
brieh future the sweet flower of eter-
nal brotherhood.
