A certain educational institution not
hundred miles from Albany has a Sc
ries of very rigid rules relating to the
conduct of its students outside of school
hours. One of these rules is to the ef-
feet that no lady student must 20 out
after dark in the company Of man, be
he of high or low degree. This rule is
enforced very strictly and the young
ladies are much in terror Of the penal
ties alleged to be inflicted upon any un-
fortunate creature caught violating this
rule. Recently, however, a young lady
student attended an entertainment up
on the invitation of a gentleman of her
acquaintance, and was unfortunate
enough to be discovered by grim
faced lady teacher of the institution in
question. The teacher was evidently
not quite sure of the girls identity, but
decided that on her way home she
would wait in front Of the girls board
ing house, which was directly on her
route, and confront the culprit in the
very act of disobeying the cast-iron law
Of the school. The young people were
just behind her, however, and saw her
pause before the boarding-house. They
retired to the shadow of the trees and
waited. The grim teacher never stir
red. It was growing late, but she evil
IDENTIFY intended to secure her victim.
The young people were just beginning
to feel uneasy. when a brilliant thought
struck the young man. With the fair
student upon his arm, he did what is
usually deemed impossible found
the officer on that beat. A short ex-
planation and glance from the eyes of
the perplexed maiden settled the mat
ter and the stalwart cooper" walked
back to where the lone watch stood and
said roughly: "Come, now, you've been
here long enough; move on or I'll pull
you In" Thoroughly frightened the
poor woman stood for q moment and
then walked on as rapidly as offended
dignity would permit. When she
was out of sight the smiling young
sters made their appearance and with a
demure countenance the young lady
bade her friend good night and entered
the house. The teaher, somehow, new
er reported the case.-Albany Express.

The Colored Brother Lionized in
GERMANY.

N04 AAe10ys
Berlin is less cosmopolitan than al
most any other of the large cities Of
the world. 1t is comparatively seldom
that one sees strange costumes and
strange people, as Is daily the case in
New York, Paris and London. It is
not a great while since the street ga
minis would follow an Engltshman or
American, whose dress differed some
what from the ordinary. and cry at the
top of their voices. ..Englander!' or
yankee" Although that has changed
somewhat in the course Of time, the
novelty has not yet worn of. A color
ed man clad in respectable garments
who appears in Berlin is almost lion
lied. There is. no race prejudice. On
the contrary, he is the equal OF all, and
people speak Of the handsome 'tbru-
nette" and the frauleins saddle Pegasus
in his honor. Ihavc seen hundreds Of
promenaders stop before the Cafe. zur
Opera and gaze for minutes at the COL
ored man who acts as porter to the es-
tablishment. His presence draws nu-
merous people to the restaurant who
would otherwise pass by it. The big
fellow appreciates his position now,
has become proud, and shows his white
teeth in smiles of recognition 10 many
fashionable people in the street. His
wages are high. and. being the only
attraction of his kind in Berlin. he is
able to dictate his terms. In the

SILVER CROW N.
Work of Developing .eing Pushed In
the Copper Camp.

No less than fifteen competent miners
are daily toiling in the Silver Crown dis
trict, the copper camp a few miles west
of Cheyenne. -Four promising claims, the
Metcalf, Ontario, Silver Brick and Ingot,
are being developed and are looking bet
ter every day. 1t is the purpose of the
owners of these claims to have them well
opened by spring. Large bodies of ore
are already in sight. shafts are being deep
ened and drifts run by the miners. The
gentlemen conducting the work are salts
fed that they have adopted the wisest
course. By spring there will be large
quantities of ore on the dumps Of the
various claims and development Of the
properties will have reached a stage where
more mineral can be taken out rapidly,
making the output steady. THE LEADER
is reliably informed that a Denver smelt,
ing company has signifed its willingness
to buy almost an unlimited quantity OF
raw ore from the mines of Silver Crown.

A Fine En- tertalnment.

The great interest already manifested in

of the appearance by the celebrated corps
Of musicians at Keefe hall next Thursday

fortunate enough to have such a famous
array of virtuosos among us, but where
such is the case orr people are always
ready and willing to give it patronage.

DUMP GROUND.
The Council Concludes to Purchase
5 Acres for the p urpose.

The only matter discussed at the meet
ing OF the city council last evening was
the purchase ola dump ground. PROPOSE
tons had been solicited through the Off
cial paper and a reply was presented by ID.
E. Johnston. Mayor Riner's business as
sociate. He would sell the city $50 acres
of land southeast of town for $3.50 or
SIS an acre, reserving the right to with
draw his offer any time after last evenings
meeting of the council.
Messrs. Altman and Maroney strongly
objected to the purchase of the land so
far from the city at this figure. Mr..
Altman said the plat was three miles dis
tant. They urged that in any event less
land would answer the purpose of the
city.
Alderman Murray thought a forty acre
tract would be sufficient for a garbage
ground.
Mr.. Hebard advanced the theory that
the purchase would eventually be used as
a cemetery and advised the closing Of the
deal.
Mr.. Altman's motion to postpone action
on the proposition was lost.
The motion to accept Mr.. Johnson's
offer was carried by this vote:
Ayes-Whitcomb, Murray, Hammond,
Hunt, Hebsrd.
Nays-Moroney, Altman.
