A daughter Of Mrs. Timothy Baldwin,

tral America, Thursday, bringing with
her five monkeys, a young tiger and
several parrots and paroquets. The
tiger is about three months old and
weighs but few pounds, being rather
smaller than ordinary size cat. 1t has
the appearance of a cat, except that it'
eyes are much larger and its tail much
longer. 1t is as playful as kitten anc
submits to handling the natural feroci-

reached its full growth, two years
hence, it probably will show a change

OF the present "public debt" Mr.. Semmee
stands in no need Of champion to sustain
the correctness OF his position In law and
sound public morality, but sd. G. L." claims
a severance, and asserts that the point that
"a. W." makes is unworthy of merit, and is
vicious intrinsically, for an individual debtor
to make, much less great sovereign State,
in the face OF It's deliberate Legislation, IN It's
statutes, signed by Gov. Nichols, Wiltz and
Speaker Bush. "a. W." says 1t is funda-
mental 'error in assuming that the contract
with the consolidated bondholders created by
the funding act and the constitutional amend
ment embraces the obligation to collect and
set aside for forty years 5a miles OF the reve-
nue. OF the State derived from taxation for the
pavment of the per cent Interest on the
bonds. hold that the obligation has no such
scope. that neither the Legislature nor the
constitution could create such contract,
which was binding on subsequent Legisla-
tures and covered by the guarantee Of The

tracts, and that the 81 mills, ETC., is a
mere legislative act, which may be repealed
and amended by any subsequent Leeisla.
