Dennis Wood of Palatka performed a
heroic act few nights ago. GaillWd, the
beacon lighter had gone out on the river

lamp, his boat got adrift. He called to

take up collection to hire man TO go out.
While doing this, Dennis Wood agreed TO

boat he rowed out to the buoy and rescued

Interesting Facts About a New In

From the Brunswick (Gd) Advertiser.
A new industry has sprung up in these
parasitic capture of alligators for the sale
Of their hides and teeth the former, when
dressed, making the costliest leather now
used in the manufacture of sachels, hand
bags, pocket-b books, etc, and the latter
being worked up into jewelry, whistles, etc.
Messrs. Pepper & Son have been operating
in this line for few months past, and have
secured about 300 of these inhabitants of
the water.
The best place to find alligators is in
brackish water, half fresh and half salt
They seemed to thrive in such element bet
ter than either purely fresh or purely salt
water, hence the Satilla river toward its
mouth Crooked river in Camden county,
the marshes near the mouth OF the Alta
maha, and all similar places, form a home
for these saurians, that just exactly agrees
with their taste.
Messrs. Pepper & Son brought in some
seventy-five Of these hides this morning,
and sold them to A. F. Franklin, realizing
10 cents for all over five feet long and 10
cents for all under. The teeth he will keep

The capture of these monsters furnish
much sport, we should imagine from the
experience given us. They take a small
boat on dark night and move quietly
along their haunts, and with a lantern
"shine their eyes" as a hunter does a wild
animal, and when in a few feet Of them fire
ball into the eye, and then with a sharp
hook fastened to long pole catch him,
and then Of only partly killed. comes the
fun. The water is dashed into foam, and
the boat dragged along a considerable
distance. Often a second shot is necessary
to dispatch hi one.
The largest captured hereabouts is over
II feet long, and the biggest capture any
one night was fourteen, though they got
twenty-one one night in Crooked river
The best waters found around here are
the creeks in the upper end of the Simons
marshes

The scribe seated himself at the table and
waited for further instructions.
Now, said she, take a piece OF paper
and write your fathers name on il"
The reporter did so.
"Foli it up and burn itn
No sooner said than done.
Wrap the ashes in a piece of paper; now
hold them against my forehead and think
of the name you wrott."
That was easy to do.
In q minutes time the madam took
pencil and wrote the name in full with as
much facility as though she had seen the
name before.
Thinking the reporter might still be a
doubling Thomas, she requested him TO step
into the front parlor and write another
name.
The scribe complied as before, but this
time wrote the name of lady friend.
After holding the paper against her fore
head she took pencil and wrote it out with
the same ease as in the first instance.
No one was in the room except the madam
and the reporter, and it was impossible for
her to have seen the names written. 1t
was as clear a case of miad reading as any
one would want to see.
Ia conversation with the madam she
told the reporter that it was not the ignorant
class who coll on people in her profession,
but the highly educated.

L. W. DeLauder, an enploye of the fish
commission in Druid Hill park, while walk
ing across Music hill in the park at 8 O'clock,
Thursday afternoon, saw man sitting on
bench neaT the music stand The mans
position was somewhat strange, and Mr..
DE Lauder went close up to him, and was
Mortified to find that the fact was perfectly
black as though he had been strangled A
shaking failed to cause the slightest move
nent, and Mr.. De Lauder fastened to notify
Capt. Cas- ell of what he supposed to be
case OF suicide. Capt. CASH. placed the
body in the buggy beside him and took him
to his barn, and thon Motif d Lieut.. Elan
merry of the Northwestern station.
In the pockets Of the deceased were found
Two letters addressed to Mrs. John A.
Creutz, at 1907 East Biddle street" They
were signed John Creutz.n
In the letters the writer babe farewell TO
his wife, daughters and son, and said that
he had to die some time and was tired of
living. The remains were afterward iden-
titled as those of CreutZ and taken in the
Northwestern district patrol wagon to his
brother-in-aw's house, 1907 East Biddle
street, where Mrs. Creutz lives.
Capt Cassell made ali examination of
the spot where the body was found but he
could find no weapon or anything else
with which death might have bsen caused
The body was thoroughly examined, but
not the slightest slightest sign of foul play
could be discovered. Coroner Silas A
Baldwin, after a careful investigation, de-
clined to hold an inquest and pronounced
the case not one of suicide at all, but of
apoplexy. Dr. w. w. White, Creutz's
family physician, was present during the
investigation and gave much valuable in
formation. he had known Creutz many
years. Creutz was SO years of age, a
musician by profession and leaves a wife
and three children. His domestic relations
were not as pleasant and happy as they
might have been, owing to the fact that he
was somewhat inclined to the use of liquor
He often went off on spree, when his wife
would go to her brothers house. When in
toxicated he spoke Of suicide, and threat
Tuesday night, and has been drinking since
then.
Creutz's face was black and purple as if
he had been hanged. The only mark on
him was a thin mark over the windpipe.
De Lauder, who found him, said that his
head was resting on his chest, the neck lean
ing on the collar. 1t was examined and
found to be very stiff and high and of cellu-
loid.
When the head was placed in the position
as 1T rested when found, the collar fitted ex-
aCtly in tine line on the neck Coroner Bald
win was satisfied that the man had been
drinking and seating himself upon the bench
fell asleep.
His head dropped over on his chest and
then the stiff collar stopped the windpipe and
checked the flow OF blood through the
already contracted veins, causing death to
ensue from asphyxia and apoplexy
Coroner Baldwin says this is the first case

A Hint to Puny People.

From their arrival on this planet TO their
usually early departure from it, people Of weak
constitutions and angular physques pass a sort
of half existence. Like dormice they burrow
in their home retreats afraid of heat, afraid of
cold, constantly afraid that the shadow of the
dread reaper will materialze and exact the for
felt which he demands from all sooner or later
No finer medicinal assurance Of comparative
vigor tor the feeble exists than that afforded by
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters Used with per
sistence not with splirts and spasms this
genial and professionally commended tonic will
do much toward infusing strength into puny
system and rounding off scrawny angles in the
human figure. Appetite, nerve tranquility and
nightly repose are encouraged by it, and a ma
larial, rheumatic, bilious tendency overcome.
