A panther is not easily killed and
will often revive with very unpleasant
results, as on a certain occasion in the
Deccan. He appeared to be quite
dead, and one Of the spectators rushed
up with a camera on a stand to obtain
a picture of the supreme moment. He
got his photograph, and, strange to
say, it survived what followed, but no
sooner had he taken 1t than the pan

went for the photographer. Somehow
the man escaped, but the camera was

encounter with it, the panther turned
and made for the cares tree, up
which he went as quickly as a mon

interested spectators, and for three or
four strenuous seconds until the pan

SHARK PRODUCTS.

Even the Bones Are Useful, the spins
as a Walking Stick.
Products obtained from the shark
are both numerous and valuable.
Shark fms furnish a Jelly that makes
q delicious soup, If N may credit the
statements of those affecting that deli
cacy. There is an excellent market for
this jelly wherever Chinese are to be
found.
The sharks liver gives a splendid
clear oil excellentiy adapted for the
fabrication Of the parts of watches,
clocks and fine guns. This oil Is held
In some quarters In as high esteem as
is the oil obtained from porpoise and
dogfsh liver, long claimed to be the
finest of animal oils.
Sharkskin Is of much value. 1t Is
OF q beautiful FURNISHED gray or blu
ish color and at first glance looks Ike
finely grained leather by reason of the
tiny prickfes~ plentifully set n way.
There are 50 many OF these prickles,
quite invisible to the naked eye, that
the effect afforded by the dried skin
is one of rich beauty, a quality that
makes 1T particularly valuable for the
manufacture of shagreen. 1t is en-
ployed for many decorative purposes.
Even the bones OF sharks are useful.
The spine Is In constant demand by
the manufacturers Of curious walking
sticks. They pass a thin malacca or
steel rod through the polished and
round vertebrate. and the result Is a
cane that sells for a high price. The
shark spine stick is a great favorite in
Germany-Harper's Weekly.

South Amboy, July 26:-The
prospect of a busy evening for JUS
tice Birmingham last night seemed
probable. At z o'clock complaint
had been made to the Justice by Mrs.
H. Stumpf, Of Pine avenue, against
Mrs. Harry Kendall and Mrs. Mar
tin Shuler. At the appointed hour.
7 o'clock, the complainant and de-
PENDANTS with their witnesses we're
represented by Lawyer J. A. Lovely
and the defendants by Lawyer J. A.
Cean, both of this city. The case
was formally called by the complain
ants counsel, when the defendants
lawyer made an objection to the
cause being tried on account of a
technical defect In the complaint.
The complainant's counsel agreed
that the complaint was defective and
the judge dismissed the case
The next on the calendar was a
case in tort. brought by John Shultz
against William Preston, for the re-
covery of a watch which Preston had
purchased of one Of the city's resi-
dents and which Shultz claimed was
his and had been stolen from him
by the party who sold it to Preston.
Preston says Shultz refuses to prose
cute the party who, he claims, stole
the watch from him, and so far has
failed to prove that the watch ever
belonged to him and that upon his
proving his property he is willing to
surrender the same. Shultz claimed
that the witness by which he could
establish his claim to ownership was
not present. The Judge postponed

BELFORD WIDOW
CANNOT PROVE
HUSBAND DEAD

Freehold, July 26:-Mrs. Nicho-
las w. Clark. who lives at Belford,
is having trouble with the pension
department at Washington, because
she cannot prove that her husband,
Nicholas w. Clark, who was a pri-
vate in Thompson's Independent
Battery c. Pennsylvania Volunteer
Light Infantry. is dead.
Nicholas w. Clark enlisted In the
Civil Wal for three years November
6, 1851, when he was eighteen a
OF age. He was discharged by q
surgeons certificate of disability.
Later he re-enlisted for a second
term. He vas q man of rowing dis
position, and after the war went
from place to place and engaged In
different occupations until 1889,
when at the age Of for~ty-four, he
married Mrs. Mary J. Sage, a wild
wv with three or four children,
then living near Keyport. This mar
riage was q happy one. but the spirit
of rowing soon came over Mr.. Clark
again. In 1885 he packed his grip
and started back for the Keystone
state.
Mrs. Clark endeavored to get
track of him again, but was unable
to do so. 1t was reported that he
was working as a gardener for a
wealthy family in Jenkintown, Pa;
that he was taken i'll and removed to
the city hospital, but what hospital
Is not known, and II was said that
he died there in 1889 or 1890.
Mrs. Clark Is a cousin of the
yuidnn pf Major A A VorJ Of Lrpaa
hold. Nicholas Clark was a brother
of the late Major Alfred r. Clark.
Mrs. Clark, after hearing that her
husband had died in 1889 or 1890,
again began searching for him, and
later she became reduced in circum-
stances, and her hcildren all being
married or scattered and maintain
ing their own establishments, she
determined to apply to the govern
ment for a widows pension. The
claim was fled in the department at
Washington in 1909, and affidavits
were fled In the Information and be-
lief that Nicholas w. Clark had died
in Philadelphia in February. 1889.
A Baptist minister, Rev. D. C.
Eddy, was reported to have been
present at his deathbed, but Mr..
Eddy is dead and his family has no
record OF his having attended the
funeral.
Mrs. Clark 10 now put In this po-
sition: The government practically
says to her. MRS. Clark. probably
your husband is dead as you were
informed and believe. but you must
show US by afldavits of some one
who was wiAh him Oh knew what
hospital he went to so that w1nsean
get absolute legal proof before we
can you you the money you should
have for your support"
Up to the present time Mrs. Clark
has not been able to show that her
husband is really dead, by any legal
evidence.
Efforts are being made In Jenkin-
town and Philadelphia. where n
OF her daughters is living, to find
with whom MT. Clark lived, and for
whom he worked in 1888 or 1883,
and to what hospital he was taken
and where he died. IL any resident
of Jenkintown can supply any of this
information to Mrs. Clark at Bel
ford, he may aid her in getting the
support that she needs In her declin-
ing days.

South Amboy, July 26:-By rea-
son of the approaching National En-
campment of the G.. A. r. at Allan

ular meetings of Post No. 118, hav-
ing been suspended during the hot
weather, a special meeting was
called of Gen. VIM. s. Truck last
night by Commander Stillwell for
the purpose of reading the general
orders and for the formulating OF
the arrangements for the post to at
tend the National Encampment.
FOrty-1ve years have elapsed since
the close of the war and the coming
tional Encampment and the first
and in all probability, the last to be
held in New Jersey.
The general orders state that Sep
TENDER 20, at 10 O'Clock, the Council
of Administration will meet. On
the evening of the twentieth Cover
nor Fort, the Mayor of Atlantic City
and the Commander of the Depart
ment of New Jersey G.. A. r., will
give addresses of welcome to the
comrades assembled.
Thursday, September %, at 10
o'clock the business session of the
encampment will be held OIL the
Steel Pier and on Wednesday the
veterans will be in line for the
grand parade.
AS the greater part of the COM
rades have reached the three score
and ten year mark, no doubt this

in and this encampment, the last
they will be permitted to visit.
