A BRIDGE OF CRoooDILEs-A travel
er writes Of a port in northwestern
India: 1.-The great sight Of Karachi is
the sacred crocodile preserve at Magyar
Pir some seven miles off, There are
hot springs here which feed shallow
tank containing nearly a hundred cro-
codiles. The story, usually thought
to be fictitious, of the Englishman who
for a bet crossed the tank by jumping
successfully from the backs Of these
crocodiles Is based on fact. The hero
Of this foolhardy feat was certain
Lieutenant Beresford, a friend Of Sir
r. F. Burton. When Burton and his
companion were visiting the crocodiles'
tank they noticed that these reptiles
and certain islets of reeds happened to
form an almost continuous bridge across
the tank. This prompted the daring
subaltern to hazard the feat Of crossing
by hopping from one crocodile to an
other To the amazement Of the spec
tators he succeeded in this apparently
mad attempt. Sir Richard Burton had
already successfully performed an
equally daring feat. He' managed to
muzzle a crocodile by means Of lasso
and then jumped on the reptiles back
and enjoyed a somewhat zigzag ride"

JEFEERScN's CHICKEN BRorB-While
at his home on the cape. and not long
before he passed away, Joe" Jefferson
was III enough to require the attention
Of his old friend, DR.. Kinney. whose
summer home is at Buzzard's bay ac-
cording to the Boston Herald.
The patient was put on very re-
stricted diet. but among other good
things allowed him was chicken broth.
On one of his visits the doctor found
Mr.. Jefferson slipping something from
a bowl. The doctor inquired what he
had there Mr.. Jefferson said 1t was
hot water. but tasted as If some old
rooster had stood in it for a while.
Dr. Kinney remarked he hoped he stood
there long enough to crow.

AS Reported In Arizona,

Teddy" upon arrival, boarded the
railroad coach and ride" acros his
'Ismus" (as now speld,) and waded
out nine miles into the Pacific ocean,
where 1t was knee deep, just to show
the meaneating sharks and numerous
marine gupchuks that he was game"
On turning round to foot 1t back to
shore he discovered school Of whales
in his path. He squared himself for
real good kick into the gang, but was
only partially successful, as his Rough
Rider spur, which he happened at the
time to have on, caught In a three
acre bunch Of seaweed and his effort
landed only eleven full-grown whales
ashore, including the big bull Of the
flock.
On his way back on the train he
jumped off near the Culebra Cut,
grabbed 1000 workmen by the hand
In exactly three-quarters Of minute,
schedule time, with the expression
"D-e-l-i-g-h-t-e-d" for each man.
Then, seizing one of the five-ton steam
shovels, spit on his hands and began
to dig toward the Atlantic ocean. He
plunged that gigantic shovel eleven
feet into the bosom Of Mother Earth
at his first motion. and the Pan-Amer-
lean republics took 1t for another earth
quake when the vibrations were felt
Within just IL minutes and II seconds
he had dug that "Ismum Canal" one
mile and three quarters.
While awaiting for his train to con-
vey him from the Cut he held "levee"
with the workmen, which numbered
some 200 English speaking persons and
something over 5000 imported shirt
tail hop consuming animated Chinese
pig tails, the latter warmly greeting
him with "Hoopla, Teddy, him belly
good Mclean man." During this brief
interval and in exactly Al seconds,
Teddy" made a six-year contract with
three of the coolie g-tails to do the

Minneapolis, July 11.--Boy despera.
does committed two robberies in Min
neapolis yesterday morning, but al
though their work was done with
much bravado and sensational detail,
they secured only about 81 in money
and cheap watch. 3s @
Spares Katlos, proprietor of q small
fruit store, was the first victim. He
had fallen asleep in chair in the
rear part of his store, and about 2
o'clock in the morning suddenly awak-
enad to find himself confronted by
three boys, one of whom carried
heavy club. In the gruffest tones that
they could command the youths de-
manded that Katlos produce all of his
cash, and be quick about it.
Katlos was somewhat dazed by
sleep, but as soon as he could collect
his senses he ran behind the counter
for revolver. This move disconcert-
ed the youthful robbers and they
seized box of small change that lay
in plain sight and fed. The box con-
tained about 81.
Very soon after the robbery at Kat
los store, A. Shapiro was held up on
the street in front of his home by a
boy who secured a watch and Is cents.
The police have good descriptions Of
all of the boys and expect to have
them under arrest before long. -.

ANARCHIST FROM SEATTLE AR.
RESTED BEFORE DESIGN is
EXECUTED.

Alton. Prussia, July st became
known yesterday that August Rosen'
berg, an alleged anarchist from Seat.
tie, Wash, was arrested here July 8
as he was leaving a train at Alton
Acting on information received from
the police of New York, the authorities
here were watching for Rosenberg;
who has relatives living here.
Rosenberg, who was accompanied
by his wife, came to Europe on the
Hamburg-American line steamer Pa
tricia, which left New York June 16
and arrived at Hamburg June 20. The
prisoner affirms that he is an Ameri.
can citizen.
His baggage has been forwarded to
another part Of Germany and has not
yet been searched by the police.
Numerous overwhelming causes for
suspicion are said to exist, and it is
believed that only the mans arrest
prevented an attempt ON the emperor's
life.

Notes From Washln ton.

Notee From Warrington.
The president has issued orders set
ting aside a quarter.section Of land in
the Belle Fourche irrigation project
for the use Of the department Of agri-
culture to make experiments in irri-
cation farming for the benefit Of set
tiers on that land.
Secretary Wilson Of the department
Of agriculture has decided not to enter
on his annual vacation until he has
put into operation the new meat in
spection law. He will give practically
his entire time to this work for the
next two months. The new pure food
law also will require attention, but the
secretary intends to leave this almost
wholly to DR.. w. H. Wiley.
To carry into effect the meat inspec-
ton law recently enacted by congress,
the civil service commission has an
nounced an examination of inspectors
to be held on the 21st inst. The regu.
lations under which the examinations
are to be held do not require that the
inspectors be veterinarians, but they
must from experience be qualified to
determine whether or not meat is
sound, wholesome and fit for human
food, an6 must be competent to super
wise the preparation of various meat
products. The entrance salary is ST.
600 per annum.

Pennsylvania RAILROAD MEN
SELL HOLDINGS At GOOD
PRICES.

h. Philadelphia, July 11.-No hardship
is placed upon the employees Of the
Pennsylvania railway who grated
thousands OF dollars worth Of valuable
coal stock, but who, under recent or.
der Of President A. j. Cassatt, are in
structed to sell their holdings at once.
General discomfort and thinly yelled
threats to talk, coming from some OF
the more powerful grafters, has caus.
ed the circulation Of story that these
men are to be well cared for.
For this purpose there is being or
ganized large holding pool, composed
of men prominent in the mining bust
ness who have yet much to hope for
from the railroad. Prominently men,
toned in connection with this syndt-
cate are the names of Cassatt & Co.,
bankers, and Congressman George H.
Huff Of Pennsylvania.
This syndicate will, it is said, buy
at fair price all the coal stock own
ed by railroad men and thus relieve
these possessors of grated stock from
having to sell their hldings in firm
ing market.
The firm Of Cassatt & Co. is made
up of j. Gardner Cassatt, the brother,
and Robert Kelso Cassatt, the son Of
A. ]. Cassatt, and John Lloyd, large
coal mine operator.
Lloyd, before the state commerce
commission, admitted having given
large blocks of coal stock to railroad
employees. When he comes forward
and redeems this gift stock for cash
there is no doubt that the railroad men
will fool grateful
