Tippu Tib the HIGHEST Man I'm Inner Al
rios-His Influence.


We present here the latest portrait
of the great Central African, Tippu
lib. Tippu lib will soon be in Arabia
again, his birth place, for he is native
OF Muscat. He il on the way to revisit
the land of his fathers. He was the
son of half caste Arab, and his mother
was full-blooded negro slave. In
point of ancestry, therefore, many of
the Arabs whom he has controlled as a
master does a slave, look down upon
him.
He is the man described by Cameron
as an African dandy, and of whom
Stanley said that he was the finest
gentleman he had ever met in Africa.
BY pure intellectual superiority Tippu
lib, after he went to the lake regions
as trader, gradually gained the SUI
premacy over all other traders, until a
large tract of country, extending from
Kassongo, on the Upper Congo, to
Stanley Falls, acknowledged him as
its ruler He has supreme influence
over all the Arabs in the district he
governs, and if so disposed he can be
OF much assistance to the Congo Free
State in its efforts to suppress slave
raids.
For several years he lived at Stanley
Falls, where he accumulated an i'm
mense quantity of ivory, much OF

home, however, Is at kossongo Al
Stanley Falls he lives in mean little
hut, apparently caring nothing 70; its
discomforts, though he is rich enough
If he chose, to live in one of the finest
houses in Zanzibar.
Gleerup, the Swede, who crossed
Africa u while ago, visited Kassongc
and reported that Tippu Tbs dwell
ing there was fine stone mansion
which would compare favorably with
any private residence in Zanzibar.
Though in his dealings with white
men he has been courteous, obliging
and generally faithful, Tippu lib in
the past has caused an enormous
amount of suffering to the helpless ma
tives of Central Africa. He has made
slaves of thousands of them, and this
has involved the destruction of many
villages and the slaughter of many
helpless natives. No one supposes
that he is actuated by any motive
than that of self-interest
He has now agreed to stop slave
raiding in the territory he controls,
only because he sees that it is his in
terest to 60 so. He is very shrewd
man, and finding it useless to oppose
the advance of the whites, he has de-
cided to cooperate with them, know
ing that it is to their advantage to
give him abundant opportunity to
carry on his trading enterprises.
1t is hoped that this able man, who
is by far the richest person in Inner
Africa, may lie made valuable agent
in carrying on the ciyilizing work now
in prog ess on the Upper Congo and
in the lake regions.

Cats Made Comfortable in Now York.

Marion Lotus, q patron Of the Home
for Cats, New York, says: There are
about sixty cats in the home now, and
you can't imagine the comfort the poor
little tabbie5 are to those who take an
interest in their welfare. The home is
attracting attention, and a number Of
persons have brought in little outcasts.
A number of substantial contributions
have been received from friends of the
home, and think its success - as
sured. The cats are we'll taken care

and make no noise at night. / don't

on account of the presence of the cats.

A Cleveland man has patented a
device for giving ball curve when
it leaves the pitchers hands. The
device consists of an elastic strap, with
loop in one end to receive the thumb
and at the other is segment of q
sphere corresponding to the shape OF
the ball. The inventor claims that a.
the ball leaves this arrangement any
curve desired can be given and that il
does away with that familiar sight on
a ball field-the awful contortions OF
the average pitcher before delivering .
curved ball. The invention, if success
full, is destined to play an important
part in baseball in the future.

"My family have been perruquiers for
three generations. The hair of which
monsieur's perruque was made was found
with much more in box belonging to my
grandfather, which, supposed to be value

When opened at last it was found to be
