Strange Ways Of This Dreaded and

Strange Ways Of This Dreaded and
Hard Sitting Reptile.
OF some OF the strange ways Of the
gila monster, that little known crea-
ture Of the southwestern deserts, q cor
respondent writes. Il have had some
experiences with ella monsters and
can state that, no matter what scien-
lists may claim, the ella monster is g
good thing to shun- Indians and Mexi-
cans have a horror Of it and fear
It more than a rattlesnake. be
HeFe that the bite Of the ella monster
Is dangerous because OF the creature 8
habit Of eating lizards, bugs and 70
dents and then lying on sand so hot
that it blistsrs the hands and feet OF
men. The heat causes the food 70 pu-
trefy IN the stomach, evidenced by the
fact that the teeth are often covered
with a fermented, putre6ed froth from
the food A bite has the same effect as
the cut Of a dissecting knife used on a
cadaTer-in other words, the fnocula-
ton OF 8 deadly poison
when frightened OF angry he can
move quite rapidly. That short, thick.
stubby tail is used in jumping. just as
a kangaroo uses his tail. The ella mon
ster bites Ike a bulldog and has the
tenacity Of a swapping turtle once
saw some men teasing a CHA monster
brought to Tucson A string was tied
around his neck. The ella monster was
crawling around on the ground. trying
to get away, but was pulled back by
the string. This was carried or till the
creature became furious. The crowd
around the ella monster knew nothing
OF his power TO spring. Suddenly he
sprung up and bit a man among the
crowd on the hand. lea9ing fully two
feet from the ground!
Another instance, this OF a man
whose chief object seems to have been
e foolhardy display Of fearlessness. He
was holding one Of the monsters IN his
hand by the back Of its neck, 80 It
could not bite him. he dropped his
hand to the side Of his leg The CHA
monster shut his teeth down on his
heavy duck overalls, taking a double
piece out where the cloth folded as
quickly as a pair Of scissors could have

MAY CALL OFF
GAMBLING FIESTA
Acting Governor Demands
10000 Pesos More Than

The Christmas gambling fiesta IN
Ciudad Juarez may be called off If the
promoters OF the gambling games do
not come through with nearly 10000

Acting governor Aurialano Gonzales
has ordered the promoters to pay the
original sum asked for the fiesta con-
cession. which was $4,000 pesos, plus
the federal tax, which amounts TO 5000
pesos.
When the concession was bid for a
few weeks ago $4,000 was the lowest
bid which would be taken. but the bid
ders would not give this much for the
Juarez then sold the fiesta for $4,000
pesos, which was paid by Mauricio
Hazan, who is believed to have been
bidding for his former partner, Turk"
Touche, and the concession was let to
him. Now the governor wires to the
Ciudad juarez officials that the coun-
ell had no right to do this and that
the original sum named must be paid
or there wiz be no fiesta.

THE FIRST SYNDICATE.
How the French Word Was American
lied Amid Much Testing.


lied Amid Much Testing.
Throughout the European negotia-
tons in reference to the Northern Pa
ciic railroad an interesting French
word required again and again-name-
", "syndicat which Jay Cooke and
his partners soon converted into an
English word, syndicate. The neWspa-
per reporters rolled it under their
tongues. It was a find for punsters
and yersifers. The New York Tribune
received these lines from one Of its
waggish contributors:
Pray what is a syndicate
IntenSed 10 indicate?
Is questioned abroad and at home.
Say, IS IT a corner
Where Jay Cooke Homer
Can pull out a very big PLUMP
In congress the word was under ex-
animation. Some Of Sunset" Cox's
constituents had written him, that
member declared, to ask if it were in
any way related to the Kuklux. "A
scholar learned in philOlogy," he con
tinued amid laughter, says it comes
from the original Chinese and is pro-
nounced All Sindecat,' from a well
known player OF cards called the
heather Chineet A revenue reformer
writes me that It is an animal peculiar
to Pennsylvania, with a head Of iron,
eyes Of nickel, legs Of copper and
heart OF stone. It consumes every
green thing outside its own state"
Cox went to Sir John Mandeville's
Travels In Far Cathay" and there
found an account Of a strange animal
Of the lizard kind. He was known in
anciente books as a chameleon. When
the sun did shine, he took various col
ors. Sometimes il wore a golden hue
and sometimes had a green back. I
caught him by means Of a steele mir
TOR, which so bedazzled his eye that he
was easily caught I bring him home
as a strange beast. It is called by the
natives a scindicat"
The syndicate's task was to take in
the old 6 per cent bonds issued during
the war, many OF which had drifted to
Europe, where they were held by the
thrifty peasantry, who had purchased
them at paper money prices, and to
sell the 5 per cent bonds in their stead.
It was a complicated work, calling for
complete control OF the markets at
home and abroad Though the opera
ton had to run the gantlet Of savage
attacks BY opposition politicians and
editors, It was instantly successful.
Indeed, two syndicates were formed,
one in London through the new house
of Jay Cooke, AIcCuIlOch & Co. and the
other by Jay Cookies firms in America.
The banker was warmly congratulated
on the successful management Of the
syndicate by President Grant and his
friends Of every rank, and it vas be
Heved that the achievement would i'm
mensely. promote the success Of the
Northern Pacific railroad, especially
when 1t was announced that the
Cookies had made an alliance with the
Rothschilds for future funding opera
tions.-Dr. Oberholtzer in Century.
