THE BLACK IeOPeRD.
How the Flercest of the Cat Tribe Look
When Confined.


In the menagerie at Central Park, in
New York, is a black leopard. Not
light or brown hair appears upon his
silky skin. He is as black as dress OF
black silk. He is probably a native OF
Southern Asia and rare specimen,
though black leopards are not uncommon
there. Look him in the face, and, cat
like, he shuts his green eyes and turns
his head Rather under the full
size of the best of leopards, 1.-the
of limb and powerful, this rare
beast of the jungle takes his prison life
with apparent contentment. lie lies
part of the time stretched out upon the
bottom of his cage, with his eyes closed.
But he Is so nearly awake all the time
that softly touch Of stranger hand
would rouse him to anger. This leopard
does not "change his spots, yet he has
| somewhere probably a brother who is
spotted. He seems to live happily with
beautifully spotted leopard, a little
larger than himself with whom there
appears to be no ill.temper or family
quarrels.
"Is he dangerousY'
The attendant replied. "Not at all when
he is safely conined but let him loose
and there would be trouble at every
jump. ~
'fs he ever in savage mood2'
"Oh, yes. there are times when ms
| low, savage growl or purr-r is enough 10
give one fair warning"
'But he is tame, is he notP'
''Tame That creature never will be
tame. He is under subsection only when
he is in close confinement. One leap into
the open air and his savage nature would
burst out. His movements are quicker
than those Of a lion and he could carry
off two-year old buck.
"Is there any other black leopard in
this country"
II believe not, and very few except in
Southern Asia. This one is very black
and rare animal.
"Wonder if Sarah Bernhardt would
like him for a pet-she likes little
tigers.
Sarah Bernhardt Every bone in her
body he would crush as you would crum-
BILE a peanut in your teeth. This beauti-
ful black bird is pet only
when he is very safely con
fined. See how quietly he lies there
now, but let him loose upon that lawn
and he would be transferred into wild
and different animal in an instant. His
innate disposition is not Of the loveliest
sort His affection is for uncooked beef.
Yon had better not put your hand
through the bars to stroke his fur; with
one stroke of his paw his long, strong
claws would tear the flesh from your
bones Cincinnati Enquirer.

The Sharon Case Settled.

The decision of the United States Su-
preme Court in the famous Sharon
divorce case has at last settled one of
the most disreputable legal contests ever
witnessed in America. Sarah Althea
HILL San Francisco adventures, not
content with her position as mistress Of
the California millionaire, determined
to have herself acknowledged as his
wife, and as such applied for divorce in
the courts of San Francisco. She ex-
hibited forged marriage certificate and
on account of the money involved in the
case found no difficulty in purchasing
witnesses to confirm her version of the
story. The Senator defended the suit
The best legal talent was engaged on
both sides, and the amount of perjury,
as proved by the voluminous testimony,
has probably never been surpassed in
any contest.
Year after year the trial went on.
Sometimes one side got the advantage
and sometimes the other. Althea Hill
married her counsel, the notorious Judge
Terry, who had thus a personal reason
for trying TO win the verdict. Senator
Sharon, broken down and shamed by the
revelations of the case, died, leaving a:
his last command the instruction to his
lawyers to fight the case if it cost hii
entire fortune.
His instructions were obeyed to the
letter. The Supreme Court has decided
that there was no marriage betweei
Sharon and the adventures, that tn
marriage certificate displayed in court
was forgery and the testimony Of tn
Hill witnesseslfalse altogether. At last Oh
ends of justice have been accomplished
, But the cost-Sharon is dead, killed b
the anxiety of the trial; Althea Hill
shown in her true colors as an adveI
y turess and perjurer and fortunes hav
! been spent by both sides in the contest

!. share in the general disappointment
