A week ago the Central Park Zoo re-
celved from Rio Janero in q half.frozen
condition three-toed sloth--a rare ami
NAL; an inhabitant of the tropics and
one of the most inert of living creatures.
This specimen being valuable as well as
rare. every effort was made to preserve
it's life and to that end 1t was wrapped
in a blanket and dosed with milk punch
es But all in vain. 1t died on Friday.
OF all the sloth family, and they are
very numerous, the three-toed slota is
the most slothful. He spends his life
hanging to the limbs of trees and feed
ing on tender buds. Any exertlon is hos
tile to his nature. In this case the long
journey from Brazil, the GOODNESS of our
climate and the milk punches were too
much for it. A clear case Of death from
involuntary over exertion.

Tho Supreme Court ~ North Carolina
has made a now departure. A Raleigh
correspondent informs US that hereto
fore in examining applicants for license
to practice law, the court has not taken
into consideration defects in spelling or
handwriting. but will do SO in the fu-
ture. According to this correspondent.
"the court thinks that IN applicant for
law license, as n part Of his qualifica-
tions. should at least be able to spell
words ordinarily in legal use and to
write a legible, hand
This is indeed something new under
the sun. But few lawyers write hands
that are easily read. Perhaps, however,
the Supreme Court of tn old North
State will allow a young applicant who
writes badly to pass. If he will agree
to use typewriter. AS to bad SPELL
ing, the court has taken position that Is
eninently proper.

cHIcKAsAw SESSION.
The Biggest Biz the One to
Abolish Cattle Tex
as.

Ardmore, I. T., Nov. 74.-The
Chickasaw legislature in session at
Tishomingo had set yesterday at
O'Clock as the hour Of adjourn
ment. but motion to reconsider
was passed yesterday morning and
the date Of adjournment changed to
Wednesday, November IS. One
event Of this session was the ap-
n,oval OF the work Of the land Of
6ce commission at Tishomingo,
which is conducting the allotment
of lands and where all Indians TAX
ing allotmeuts in the chickasaw
nation are required to file. The
most important bill introduced at
the session was the one to abolish
the cattle tax in the chickasaw
nation. The argument presented
IN favor OF such action was thdt II
works a hardship on the cattlemen
who are among the best citizens Of
the nation and that the collection
of this tax is Of no,beneht to the
nation, but is beneficial only to the
officers who collect It. The collec-
ton Of this tax costs the govern
ment more than the tax receipt:
amonnt TO. The bill passed the
lower house Of the legislature but
was knocked out in the senate. 1
is probable that only two more ses
sions Of the chickasaw Legislature
will be held, the session Of 1904 an'
the session Of 1905, as tribal rela
tions will cease after March a
1906, and the chickasaw will be
