ALuGATOR's REVENGE

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-Only the cruel
and tyrannous will weep over this tale
of a crocodile. The brave and just Will
rejoice that a big bully has been
thrasned.
..Willie" is the crocOdile's name
Born in the soft, warm mud OF the
Gauges, willie was captured and
transported to the reptile house of the
Bronx Zoo. His name was given to
contrast with his power fancifully. In
the same spirit one calls a helpless
kitten "Jim Jeffries" and the engineer
speaks of mis- one hundred-ton trip
hammer. or his locomotive as Baby
In the pool of the reptile house, will
lie" became the Nero. the Cal1gula.
If the pool had been the Panama Ca
nal. willie" would have been its The
odore Roosevelt He beat nearly to
death every other crocodile, every
alligator in the pool. Why, few
months ago willie" bit the tail off an
aged alligator who was called aHec-
tionately "Old Nose whose heart
was entirely touched, if you could pen
citrate mis- side. "Old Nose had the
kindest dispositions; he would not hurt
more than one frog at time.
Willie bit off the tails of every rep
tile within reach of the snap of his
upper jaw. Every tail was snap for
Willie. Every creature in the pool
hated and feared him and nursed his
cold FLOODED vengeance. Their turn
came yesterday.
Keepers Snyder and Tourney let the
water out of the pool and filled 1t
fresh. The crocodiles from India, two
alligators from Brazil or Florida, are
hot mouse plants of zoology. The wa
ter with which the keepers reflled the
pool was cold. The younger crocodiles
and alligators warmed themselves up
with unaccustOmed exercise. But Will
lie, the aged, the cannibalistic, became
torpid. stiff. half-frozen and lay five
wards of helpless, immObile crocodile.
And with almost human intelligence
every crocodile and alligator In the
pool set upon willie" Those who
mad tails beat him with them: his
stiffness victims bit him. To save his
life the keepers lassoed willie and
dragged him from the pool. They put
him by the biggest steam register and
there he lay last night thawing out,
swapping mechanically at the sur
rounding atmosphere and shedding
tears of bitter shame and futile rage.

much commented upon. For dentists
fee the sum was large, but as com
pared with some physicians fees it
insignificant.
Probably the record for large fees
of this class is held by DR.. Walter {
Browning of Philadelphia, who sent t
the executors of the estate of Senator
C. l.. Magee a bill for $4,000. Ex-
planning his charge, Mr.. Browning
said that his ordinary charge for con
sultation in his Office is $40 an hour
and outside the Office $40 an hour
These rates, he said, Senator Magee
had voluntarily agreed to double.
Baltimore, the seat of Johns Hop
kins university, noted for its output Of
physicians, has contributed largely t.
| the list of big fees for doctors. Pro
fessor Howard A. Kelly of Johns Hop
kins hospital received $4,000 for q
days treatment of the wife of mine
owner.

battered affair. and he was told to stick

way and keep going.
This incident took place yesterday
morning in Kakaako. about half-past
eleven o'clock. BY four o'clock in the
afternoon the hold-up man and his gun
were in Detective Taylor's hands.
The hackman's story is that he pick
ed up his fare on King street and drove
him to Japanese tenement house on
South street opposite the Honolulu Iron
Works. Here he got his command to
shell out, which he did to the amount
of $1.95, all he had. The man, a Ha-
waiian. then stpeped out OF the hack
and entered the tenement, going right
through the building, however. and
lodging off towards the Union Feed
Company's works. The hackman tried
to telephone to the police. but was too
ratified to give his story, being told
to drive up and report
This he did, and as soon as a de-
scription of the man could be obtained

scour the city for him. He was To-

under arrest. At the station he was

who was also ready to swear to the
revolver found in the mans room on
Fort street. opposite Kukui street. This
revolver, 1t appears, had been taken
during the morning from the room of
another inmate OF the building, a
Portuguese rapid transit conductor,
and the gun had been accidentally dis
charged during the theft, the landlady
and some OF the pupils OF the High
School having heard the shot, while
a bullet scar on the front OF the
dresser showed how unhandily the gun
had been pulled out OF its case in the
drawer.
The police are feeling jubilant over
this capture, as another holdup this
time Japanese, had been reported
yesterday morning, the affair having
occurred the night before In Kalihi,
back of the Kamehameha Schools. 1t
is probable that the same man was in
both affairs and would have been n
menace to the city had he been left
long at liberty. The fact that neither
of the robberies was of large amounts
was only because in both instances the
victims had but little. They gave up
all they had, however.

name OF Joaquin. and has been until

There is one school that deserves

OF nothing but pahoehoe and coral
