French W.. American Figures.

La Figaro of Paris asserts that French

REVOLVING CRUELTY.
An Alligator in Phoenix Fed on Live
 Dogs.

The feeding of an alligator which occupies a tank under . tent near the corner of First and Adams streets, has aroused disgust and indignation in Phoenix. A warrant will likely be sworn out against the alligator's pro- prietors this morning charging him with extraordinary cruelty to animals, in that he feeds his alligator on live dogs. He says in extenuation that the alligator will eat nothing that he does not kill himself This is met by the humane argument, that in that case it would be we'll to let the saurian go hungry until he gets decent appetite to eat what is set before him. Indeed, the existence of the alligator is not public or a moral necessity.
 On Saturday night the bowling of a dog, almost human in its agony, pro ceeded from the tent A half dozen men ran to it and by the light of a lantern saw large dog with a string around his neck trying to crawl out, hoWl1ng and whining most piteousIy It was necessary to shoot him because he was too big for the alligator to swallow alive. It was said that he had been thrown into the pit and that the alligator dashed at him as he crouched in fear in a corner. The pon- derous jaws came together and the nose of the dog was cut off as if by a razor. Evidence has been gathered of other dogs which have been thrown into the reptile. When not too large the jaws with it's serratad teeth have closed upon them and nothing was heard but the beginning Of a whimper, followed by crushing Of bones and flesh.
