LAST OF THE GIRAFFES.
glo specimen of this curious animal,
while the giraffe-hunter of central
Africa has become a memory. Ruth
lessly hunted, as the Buffalo on tho
American prairies was hunted, to the
point of decimation, thero are no longer
wild specimens of tho giraffe to take
the place of thoso that havo succumbed
to the effects of captivity and the
western climate, and when this last
lone representative of a noble Bpecies
is gone, tho glraffo will be extinct.
Commercially, tho valuo of this animal
cannot be estimated in figures. It is
doubtful whether any sum of money
could bo named that would Induce
Ringllng Brothers to part with it. Its
great valuo and interest, however, Is
not solely tho result of its rarity. It
is in Itself the most interesting and re
markablo of wild beasts. Its great
neck and lofty reach givo it a distinct
individuality. It is tho most timid and
delicate of animals, and requires the
constant caro and companionship of
its keeper. It feeds on hay, fresh
grasses, herbs and fruit, but, so far as
known, It never touches water. Its
in irs t is Blalccd with milk. It never
utters tho least vocal sound, and yet
expresses its affection in tho most
demonstrative way. It is an animal
that repays study, and naturalists and
scientists, as well as tho publiu, como
hundreds of miles to see it. Ringllng
Brothers' menagerie is a colossal ex
hibltion of ull that is most interesting
and curious In the zoological world.
The magnitude of the collection is
sufficiently indicated when the state
ment is made that, in addition to the
giraffe, it embraces 30 btg and little
elephants, with scores of other led ani
mals, and a hundred dens, cages and
lairs of rare wild beasts. There is an
aquarium with hippopotami, seals, sea
lions and other water frequenting ani
mals; an aviary with huudreds of
gorgeously-plumaged birds; a chil
dren's menagerie, vastly enlarged this
season, with scores of tiny cages con
taining monkeys, apes, chimpanzees
and other animals dear to childhood,
and many other zoological displays of
superlative interest. Tho menagerie Is
a magnificent vestibule to the main
dippodromo pavilion, where, under tho
largest canvas canopy ever
thero is given a great triple-ring circus
performance, introducing hundreds of
tho world's greatest arenic 6tars, and
presenting tho grandest spectacular
displays that tho human' mind has ever
conceived. A magnificent free street
parude precedes the exhibition in this
city.
the station one of them saw something
hanging on a weed. He went over to
where it was and picked up a $20 bill.
Upon another weed a $10 bill was found
and then another $20 bill. The crew re
moved tho handcar from tho track and be
gan to harvest tho greenbacks. For a
space of half mile the weeds bore money
and when all had been collected $315 in
unmutilated currency and $80 in torn bills
had been harvested. Tho crew reported
the find. That day a report was received
by the postofilco destined for Dunning.
Mr. Swift found that the lost pouch was
sent on train No. 41 of tho Burlington,
which does not stop at Dunning, but which
throws a pouch off at that place. The
wrecked pouch found at Alliance was
identified by the clerk. The clerk said
that it contained two registered letters,,
one containing $500, which was being re
mitted by the Omaha National bank to tho
bank at Brewster, Neb., and about 300
ordinary letters addressed to Dunning and
to points served from that office by star
routes. The inspector heard of the money
found by the section men and called upon
them. He found that the money had been
turned over intact to the postmaster and
that it corresponded in every particular
with the 'noney sent out by the Omaha
bank. He took charge of it and turned it
over to the sender, $105 short of the origi
nal amount. Of 300 letters twelvo were
found and it supposed that the others were
mutilated by tho wheels or blown to the
winds. No trace of the second registered
letter was found.

Peculiar Accident to .Mall Pouch.
Albert O. Swift, a postofilco inspector,
recently returned to Omaha from Dun

the loss of a mail pouch. He tells the fol
lowing story:
One morning when the train pulled into
Alliance tho man who was inspecting the

entangled with the trucks. He took the
remnant to the mail clerk and that official
decided that it was one which had been
thrown from the train at Dunning. Twenty-four
