Court Minerva's Leap Year Party Sue
 cess of Season. .
 The leap year party held last even ing in Columbus hall by Companion Court Minerva was one of the most enjoyable social affairs of the season. The young ladies, of course, held full sway, and they certainly did them selves credit. The gentlemen present were not allowed to rest one minute, and not one of them can say he had no opportunity to trip the light fantastic. Refreshments were served during the evening and. in fact, nothing that had a tendency to make their guests more comfortable was left undone by the ladies, and when the affair broke up at midnight the gentlemen were loud in their praises for the good time given them by the ladies of Court Minerva. Bergan's orchestra of Wa terbury furnished excellent music for dancing, and for those who ,ud not care to dance parlor was fitted up under the gallery where cards were played, so that all who attended spent a most enjoyable evening. Among the large crowd present was number of out of town people.

these are Krao, the missing link, and Lionel, the boy with the lions mane. Krao is veritable wonder and after her first appearance will furnish a lively subject for town talk. She is young girl who has appeared in all the principal cities of the world with remarkable success Krao is covered with monkey, fur and this leads sci entists to think she is the missing link so long sought by Darwin. Krao is able to speak English, French and German, to sing and play the piano, and has been interviewed by repre- sentatives of some of the world s greatest publications. Lionel, the boy with the lions mane, is a young Russian, also of marked intelligence, and certain to score a success. His body is covered with tawny hair ana his head resembles in every way that of the great king of beasts He has appeared before crowned heads and before the worlds greatest scientists and everywhere has been looked upon with great curiosity.
