PUT TO SLEEP.
COcknev SteriIng's Condition at the
End of the Twentv-hrst Round.

Special Dispatch to The Leader.
DENVER, Colo. April 22.-The much
talked-of fight between Cockney Sterling
and ReddY Brennan took place this after
noon at the f%avorite sporting resort just
without the borders of Arapahoe county.
Both meu were in fine fettle. and a long.
hard fight was looked for. The specta-
tors were not disappointed. At the end
of the twentieth round both men were
still in the ring. The twenty-first round
settled the business, when Brennan put
Sterling to sleep with a well-directed
right handler. The fight was well con-
Quoted and everything was orderly.

OMAHA, April 22.-The question of
Indians enlisting in the cavalry service of
the United States was today determined
by a telegram to Gen. Brooke, of the de-
psrtment of the Platte, that troop L, 9th
cavalry, had been organized, consisting
wholly of Brule Sioux. In army circles
this practically settles all apprehension as
to a spring uprising. as the most warlike
warriors have enlisted in the service.

the unknown junior in tanners firm at (Ialena

The applause of soldiers for their commander,

Men Behind Dress Goods Counters.

If you have done much shopping you
must have noticed that more men than
women are employed at the dress goods
counters. It occurred to the writer to
ask if there was any reason for this.
The manager replied, just as if he had
been expecting some one to ask the
question. "There are several reasons
for it, Women do not like to take the
say-so of their own sex on dress goods;
men have better ideas of combination
than women; men are more diplomatic
in dealing with women than saleswom-
en- are. A saleswoman can accomplish
more at some other counter than men.
But at the dress goods counter men
make the best employees. You would
naturally think that woman could
grab up a piece Of goods and show it
to advantage. [ never saw one that
could do it. Few women are good
Judges of combinations of colors on the
counter. A modiste is. of course, but
woman cannot always have a modiste
with her when she goes shopping.
Men who are in the business take to a
thing like combining colors as naturally
as ducks take to water. They seem to
know as soon as they see a woman
what will become her in the way of
dress goods. There are many articles
in such store as this which women
prefer to buy of their own sex, but
when it comes to dress goods they pre-
fer to deal with men," = Chicago

Buildings Put Up Quickly.

"What do 1 think of the rapidity
with which buildings are run up now,
as compared with twenty years ago,
you ask? Why, there is no compari-
son as far as the time consumed is con-
cerned."
Such was the remark of a member of
one of the largest building firms in
New York to a NeaUs reporter the
other day.
"To what is the change due?"
"Well, there are several causes. To
commence with, the hod-carrier at
which you newspaper men were always
making jokes, has, for practical pur-
poses, become back number. Bricks
and all classes of building material are
now hoisted by derricks and steam
lifts and there is no longer any climb
up long ladders. Then again no time
is lost now, and every man that can be
utilized is put to work on building.
while the material is much easier to
handle, being better shaped.
II might say that the era of rapid
and high building came in with the
craze for fre-proof structures. Hol-
low bricks, steel and iron castings have
enabled architects to accomplish won
ders, and rapidly as buildings spring
up to-day they are fully as strong as
those which twenty-five years ago took
three times as much time to erect"

which has been taken to the coast by
caravans of 1000 to 5000 men. His
home, however, is at Kossongo. AT
Stanley Falls he lives in mean little
hut, apparently caring nothing for it's
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 a while ago, visited Kassongo
and reported that Tippu THIS dwell
ing there was a 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
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 do 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.
It is hoped that this able man, who
is by far the richest person in Inner
Africa, may be made valuable agent
in carrying on the civilizing work now
in progress on the Upper Congo and
in the lake regions.

Justified in Killing a Mule.

Perhaps the queerest lawsuit on
record one that deserves a place in
the legal records of Georgia-was that
which was recently decided i'll Morgan
County, Ga. A drummer hired a mule
and buggy to go into the country. The
mule became contrary and backed the
buggy into the fence. The drummer
piled the whip and the mule kicked
back. The mud flew, but the drummer
held his own. When patience ceased to
be virtue. the comm ercial gentleman
drew a revolver from his pocket and
killed the long cared source Of danger.
The owner of the mule brought suit
against the drummer for the value of
his quadruped, whereuIon the jury
brought in the following verdict: eve,
the jury, find the defendant not guilty,
and the killing case of justifable
homicide"

Use of Mice Tails.

Before we had much observed mice,
the use of their long tails was ques-
ton that had puzzled us. We do not
know of what service they are to the
females, but to the bucks they are, we
see, of use in their combats: for when
they fight they very often face one an
other standing on their hind legs, the
tail then making, as with kangaroos,
the third feature of tripod.
Their appearance when they thus
stand facing one another with their
heads thrown back and their paws in
front of their faces is, on account per-
haps of the resemblance it bears to the
posture of prize-fghters, extremely
comic. Small mice, also. when at
tackled by their bigger congeners, raise
their paws before their faces, the atti-
tude in that case strangely suggesting
one of depreciation.
actually engage, only instantaneous
photography could record, so rapid are
their movements. Presumably they
try to bite; but must consider defense
the better part of valor, for they never
appear to get hurt much. and between
the rounds will nibble away at the
crust which brought them into the
vicinage, ONLY showing their excite
ment by rafting their tails against the
ground. Occasionally, tail seized by
the teeth leads to one mouse having to

AN AFRICAN DANDY.
Tippu lib the Richest Man in Inner Af4
rica-His Influence.

rica-HiS Influence.
We present here the latest portrait
of the great Central African, Tippu
lib. Tppu lib will soon be in Arabia
again, his birthplace, for he is native
of Muscat. He is on the way to revisit
the land of his fathers. He was the
son of o half-caste Arab, and his mother
was a full-blooded negro slave. In
point of ancestry, therefore, many of
the Arabs whom he has controlled as a
master does 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 Hppu
lib, after he went to the lake regions
as a 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
it's 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 it's efforts to suppress slave
raids.
For several years he lived at Stanley

Are the Davs of the PITCHER Der?

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
q loop in one end to receive the thumb,
and at the other is a segment of a
sphere corresponding to the shape of
the ball. The inventor claims that as
the ball leaves this arrangement any
curve desired can be given and that it
does away with that familiar sight on
a ball feld-the awful contortions of
the average pitcher before delivering a
curved ball. The invention, if success
full, is destined to play an important
part in baseball in the future.

Cats Made Comfortable in New York.

Marion Lotus, 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 tabbies are to those who take an
interest in their welfare. The home is
attracting attention, and number of
persons have brought in little outcasts!
A number of substantial contributions
have been received from friends of the
home, and I think its success is as
sured. The cats are well taken care
of, provided with milk, little meat,
and warm places to sleep. The
"strays," as we call them, compose a
very happy family; they do not fight,
and make no noise at night. / don't
believe one complaint has been received
on account of the presence of the cats.
