Those who heard him thought he was
joking but when they reached the ex-

found that he was in dead earnest.
In the cage he stood, surrounded BY
his assistants. and near him were
seated three women-his wife. one OF
her friends and the godmother Of the
infant To the left Of them stood the
clergyman, holding the baby in his
arms. and behind him was a gigantic
African named Leo. who was 70 act as
godfather on the occasion. Facing
this fearless group were two huge
lions, whose every action showed that
they were immeasurably surprised at
the intrusion Of so many strangers
into their domicile. Moreover. their
surprise was the greater since. IN

illuminated with electric lights.

E,shty.rhou..nd Tourists.

Denver. May 2O.-Railroad men esti-
mate that $1,000 tourists will pass
through or stop in Colorado during the
coming season. Half OF this number
they expect to visit Colorado. and the
other half to attend the Epworth
League convention In San Francisco
or to visit states west OF Colorado.
Il believe this will be the banner
season for Colorado" said Secretary
Bcvington of the Transcontinental
Passenger Association to Republican
reporter. "On several days next sea-
son the rate from Chicago to Denver
is only $25 for the round trip. Then
there Is in effect all summer the regu-
lar tourist rate Of $31.5O for the round
trip, the same as was In effect last
year. believe that the tourist travel
will exceed the most sanguine antici-
pations Of the railroad men Of the
West"
Railroad men believe that the Buff
falo exposition, instead OF injuring the
tourist business to Colorado, will aid
1t in that thousands Of eastern people,
instead OF going to Europe this sum
mer, will attend the exposition for a
few weeks and then will come to
Colorado. The railroads are adverta-
ing the state extensively in the East

Seattle, Wash. May 1s.-The steam

morning from Skagway and other
ports of southeastern Alaska, with a
large number OF passengers. Among
them was Captain J. B. Libby, man.
ager Of the Puget Sound Tugboat
Company, who rs Just in from Daw-
son. Captain Libby said in an inter-
view:
"A large proportion of the dogs of
Dawson, including some Of the most
valuable ones, have been killed. The
police did the work short time before
/ left. The animals were AFFLICTED by
a sort Of hydrophobia and a number
OF persons were bitten before 1t was
decided to minimize the danger by
shooting all dogs found at large.
"Sluicing had begun on the creeks,
but operations were not very exten-
sive. They are now probably in full
swing, as there was a thaw on when
came up the river. The output OF
gold is going to be immense. It Is
thought by people in a position to
know that the total production OF gold
will be at least one.ninth larger than
last year, or about $4,000, ,O00."
