OPERATION AVOIDED
EXPERIENCE MISS MERKLEY
She Was Told That an Operation Was
Inevitable. How She Escaped It.

When physician tells woman suf-
fering with serious feminine trouble
that an operation is necessary, the very
thought of the knife and the operating
table strikes terror to her heart, and
our hospitals are full of women coming
for Just such operations.

Handsome Jaguar Procured From
Paraguay-Springb Also Added.

= "a az uay "SPA LIZ UOOh AASo AoOSo.
The authorities Of the National Zoo have
received a fine young male jaguar direct
from Paraguay. and the specimen has been
placed on exhibition in the animal house.
The new arrival Is somewhat over two
years Of age and Is said to be one Of the
handsomest members of the jaguar family
ever seen in this locality. 1t is in perfect
condition and weighs 1855 pounds. The
animal was reared from kittenhood in Par
aguay, and was probably born in captivi
ty. 1t is said to be playful and gentle.
It was said by an official of the Zoo that
the portion of Paraguay from whence this
specimen came is the regular place for the
finest jaguars. they being much larger than
those that come from sections farther north.
This latest arrival was secured for the Zoo
logical Park by Mr.. J. N. Ruff1n, the United
States consul at Asuncion, Paraguay, who
was In Washington about two years ago
and arranged for its procurement.
The Zoo has also received in exchange for
a surplus elk a fine male springbok. The
springbok Is related to the gazelle, and is
from Cape Colony, Africa. The difference
between the deer family and those of the
gazelle, antelope, sheep and goat families
Is that the deer-have solid horns and shed
them annually, while the others have hollow
horns and carry them through life. The
only exception to this rule Is the American
antelope. which has hollow horns and sheds
them every year.

To the Editor of The Star;

To the Editor Of The Star:
I trust that you will allow space in your
columns for a word Of correction In regard
to a reported scene in the District Court
rooms in which my name was connected.
The article alluded to was headed Fined
for Contempt of Court" and quotes an
entirely suppositious conversation upon
the witness stand. The remarks accredited
to me. while they make a very good story.
are yet totally false in substance. 1 did
refuse to reply to the apparently un-
authorized questioning of a colored lawyer,
whom, as 1 afterward learned, represented
the defense. The true facts in the case
were these: 1 appeared as a voluntary wit
ness before the Police Court In a case of
exceptional cruelty, with which I was
personally cognizant and as a member of
the Human Society felt it my duty to tes-
tify. From the moment l stepped upon
the witness stand Judge Mullowny assum-
ed an attitude of badgering and tried In
every way to discredit my statement.

oath should have protected me If for no
other reason. and when interrupted by the
coored lawyer ] was not aware that he or
any one else outside the judges chair had a
right to question my word. 1t was due to
this ignorance on my part and my refusal
to answer that the Judge placed me under
arrest and ordered me removed from the
court room IN the CUSTODY OF Two ponce
men.
I would also state that Mr. Massis kind
ly offered to pay the fine, but fortunately /
was able to meet the requirement.
