Yesterday morning the crew of an
Italian fishing smack, named the Glori-
eta, captured n sea lion inside the
Heads. 1t was a monster and must
have been asleep, or else the fisherman
could never have slipped a moose about
its hippers and fastened it in such a man.
ner that all the efforts of the seal to es-
cape were Intellectual. The Italians,
thinking of the future ficIies which
would flow to them from the exhibition
of such a curiosity, exerted themselves
to render their capture a certainty. With
much labor they shipped their prize and
finally made fast to Fisherman's wharf
about 1Oo'clock, with the sea lion quietly
settled in the hold of their little craft.
The news of the advent of the little
stranger drew a large crowd to the
wharf, and much speculation was in
dulged in as to the best manne of get
ting the captive ashore.
Thomas Gilligan, who is now collector
at the wharf, was one of the most active
in giving advice, and, being some sort of
an officer, his opinions were listened to
with great Difference. The time came
when the sea lion had to be taken ashore,
and the Glorietta vas brought to the in
cline inside the dock, and active prepa-
rations were made for a transfer of the
sea lion from the hold to the fisherman's
shed.
Collector Gilligan was the self APP
pointed director of the proceedings, and
he it was who carefully inspected the
loop which secured the sea lion, and he
it was who shouted 'all ready" when a
dozen of the brawny fishermen took hold
of the ropes and tried to persuade his
marine majesty to crawl up the incline
to a place out of the wet on top of the
wharf. The sea lion about this time be-
gan to take in the proceedings and to
make decided objections.
He evinced a very mulish disposition
not to be urged, and displayed such a
temper that the men on the rope deter.
mined to keep at a safe distance. The
efforts of a dozen were, however, too
much for him, and they had drawn him
almost to the top when he made an I'M
expected flop and nipped the fisherman
nearest him in the calf.
The Italian gave one yell, and all, with
the exception of Collector Gilligan, let
go the rope, He, gallant soul, held on,
and suddenly found himself Laundering
in the bay. The sea lion had taken ad-
vantage of the Generalization of his
captors and made for the water, and
Gilligan, because of his unwillingness to
let go of the rope, was made TO follow
him. The sea lion escaped and Gilligan
is wrathy.-San Francisco Call.

A EIGHT TO A FINJSH

The LEADER has said a great many
evil things about the governor, but it has
never accused him OF lacking ordinary in
t~elligence. If TIE LEADER wishes to
handicap Wyoming in the race for state
hood 1t has only to keep on publishing
unfounded charges of reckless extrava
gance and high taxation, and continue to
dIlate upon the terrible condition of affairs
In wyoming, just as 1t has about the
city S financial condition. - Tuesdays Sun.
The LEADER has at no time said any
thing about the governor which was not
true, and 1t now has no apologies to make
in this line.
So far as the statehood movement is
concerned, this paper has done its full
share of labor. 1t has not stopped to
knitting Delegate Carey at home while he
was supposed to be forwarding the state
hood movement in Washington. 1t has
long appreciated the fact that statehood
for Wyoming can never be achieved by
Republican influence alone. Statehood
must come from the Democrats or not at
all 1t has therefore urged that Demo.
cratic influence be brought to bear, while
common report has it, that men high in
the councils of the Republican party have
gwen the movement nothing more than
lukewarm support.
As to reckless extravaganza THE
LEADER has had little to say, but as to
- high taxation " it has said a good deal,
and proposes to say a good deal D,ore.
The only way in which an evil may be
remedied is to make it odious. We pro
pose to make the subject of exorbltant
taxation odious, if it is possible with facts
and figures to do so. The people of
Wyoming are united in their demands for
retrenchment. 1t make be the policy of
mere organs like the Sun to
stltie the cry of the overbur-
thened taxpayer, but it is the
province OF newspapers like The LEADER
to give expression to these demands and
point out to the lawmaking powers the
necessity for a compliance with them. In
this work The LEADER is the representa-
tive of no party, but of the whole people,
except the cliques which dominate legis-
lative affairs, and whose interest it is to
maintain the existing order OF things.
The LEADER has done nothing to in
iure the credit of city or territory. Such
childish iapdoodle has been TOO long fed
to the Wyoming public not to be rated at
Its true value. We have only gwen facts
In this connection, and it is very noticea-
Bile that no imputation has been cast upon
them further than general denials, which
go for naught.
We propose to fight it out on this line
if it takes all winter. 1t we fail we will
have the consolation OF knowing that we
lost in a good cause.

While the rate of interest on govern
ment bonds and city and railroad deben-
lures has been steadily falling within the
past two decades, the rates payable on
real estate mortgages have declined in
sympathy. This year, in New York and
Boston, liens on the best city property
have been placed at A per cent, 2 per
cent. less than the rates current in 1869.
In other large cities OF the Union a SINH
lar decline is observable; and, as between
newly settled states and territories and
the financial centers of the nation, the
disparity in the rates payable on well Sc
cured loans is much less today thar it
was twenty years ago. The significant
point in the matter under consideration
is not so much that the rate of interest
has been falling as hat interest has be-
come distinctly separated from the wages
of superintendent and the premium
for incurred risk, which used to be COM
bined with it.
The return on a government bond
represents the bare remuneration of
capital employed without hazard OF
care. An investor in first class city
mortgages receives a larger income than
if he had bought government bonds with
his money, but he has not so easy a time
of it. He must have titles carefully and
responsibility examined; his creditors may
be unpunctual; occasionally he may have
the trouble of a foreclosure on his hands.
His investments are for comparatively
short terms of years. and, between one
investment and another, part of his
capital may be unproductive; or in rein
vesting he may be obliged to accept a
reduced rate. Hence the competition
for securities eliminating hazard and
bother, which is one of the notable facts
in the modern world of finance.-George
lies in Popular Science Monthly.

Diamonds-fine diamonds especially
are as fashionable as ever. Jewels COM
posed of clustered diamonds of different
sizes are losing ground i'm general esti-
nation. They are now considered as in
effective at a distance, pretty as they
may appear on close inspection. The
new idea is to set the stones in rows, so
they constitute geometric, or at least
conventional, designs, which exhibit the
diamonds to the best advantage, show
oil from afar as well as near. The reader
need not be told that far more care and
careful manipulation is necessary to
create = jewel of this description. The
stones must be matched in size and color,
as the slightest variation is Immediately
noticeable, whereas in the clustered ar
rangement diamonds of all sorts and
shapes may be crowded together with
more or less artistic effect.-Jewelers'

Are You Interested

Perhaps the readers OF THE LEADER
you'd like to know in what respect Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is better than
any other. We will tell you. When this
Remedy is taken as directed, as soon as a
cold has been contracted, and before it
has become settled in the system, it will
counteract the effect of the cold and
greatly lessen its severity, if not effec
tually cure the cold in two days time and
1t is the only remedy that will do this. 1t
acts in perfect harmony with nature and
aids nature in relieving the lungs, open
ing the secretions, l~iqueiying the mucus
and causing it's expulsion from the air
cells Of the lungs and restoring the sys-
TEN to a strong and healthy condition.
No other remedy in the market possesses
these remarkable properties. No Other
will cure a cold as quickly or leave the
system in as sound a condition. so cent

The correspondent who went up coun-
try to meet Stanley describes his hair as
being quite white. This he ascribes to
the privations of the expedition. But
those who met Mr.. Stanley when he was
formerly in this country will be re-
minded by the kilograms of IN incident
regarding which the great explorer was
some years ago twitted by his friends.
As a matter of fact, his hair had become
white long ago. But Mr.. Stanley did
not appreciate the venerable appearance
which his gray locks gave him. They.
became black again a good deal more
suddenly than they had grown white.

Five minutes before o'clock mercur-

Of people, who stopped on their way to

gallons of water literally drowned the
fire out. Mr.. j. Work says his concern
had about S335,OO0 worth OF stock and
Taylor Bros. $4,000. This is fully COW

in separate risks, each divided by thick
concrete walls, making It almost impos-
sible for fire TO spread. The, burned
portion Is one risk, and Is valued at one
ninth of the whole cost Of the
building, or SlOO,00O. NJ. Gimbel &
Sons, occupying the next portion north
of the burned section, suffered no loss.
A rumor was set afloat while the fire
was raging, to the effect that an old
man who opens up the building had per-
ished in the flames, This was denied by
the Plnkerton watchman, who made his
last "puIl" just as the fire was discov-

originated in the pressing department,
where perhaps an overheated steam coil
ignited some old rags. c. M. Hender-

northeast corner OF Adams and Market
