Tim Smith, 0 colored laborer working
ON W. 2. FullerS orange grove u Ndgo'
WINTER, comes TO Pslatka nearly every
day in o row-boat. To do this, says the
Paiatka (Ela.) Herald, he 10 compelled
TO pass Buzzard Island, DARK and lone
" plaoe, grown mp with brush and tn
hablted by oil sorts Of Wild birdA and
may we'll be formed the home OF the
alliaatos. owing 10 Its quietneas and
dark waters, which are seldom disturbed
beyoud the ripple Of an oar manipulated
by tho huntsman.
For several weeks Tim Smith noticed
o pArticulnrly large alligator. whose
back was filed with barnacles and long
green moss. Tho alligator was never
known to demonstrate any fear. and
would not get out Of Smiths why under
any consideration, allowing him to row
rather close toward him.
Last Thursday, when Smith started
for town, he put Winchester rife IN
his boat for the express purpose OF CIV
ing his 'gatorship load OF cold lead.
When opposite BuEzard Island the ALL
gator appeared, and. rowing 10 within
easy range, Smith fired five shots 81 the
saurian, oil Of which seemed to take ef-
feet, for the alligator made q terrible
fiutaer in the water, and turned over ON
It's back.
Three days later Smith found the
dead alligator floating near by, and,
tying o rope about Its head, lowed 1t to
the Edgewoter grove, when the alliga-
tor was found 10 measure sixteen feet
three and one-halt inches In length.
Two balls had entered the skin just
back Of tho head
Smith then set to work and skinned
the saurian for market, when to his
great surprise the darby came across o
human skull, perfectly formed and I'M
broken, but owing 10 the superstitious'
ness OF tho negro he stopped skinning
the alligator, which operation was I'm
ished by white employee on the grove.
Further dissection brought to Light q
gold watch bearing the initials''G. L 7.
The skull and watch are now on exhi-
bition at Fry's taxidermy store.
Who the unfortunate man. wae no ono
seems 10 know. as tho initials arc not
familiar about here, but 1t Is supposed
that he was some sportsman who, alone,
was attacked nnd devoured by the ALL
gator, as Is quito often the case with

Growing Income of our PlutOcracy

The interest and dividend payments
this month are the largest ever known in
this country, according to the Daily
Stakeholder. Interest is due and payable
during the month on more than $4,000
100000 of bonds of our railroads and
similar corporations, and the stock of
these corporations on which the divi-
dends are payable amounts to over
So,O0O,000. The money to be disbursed
in payment of this interest aggregates
nearly s59,00O,O 900, and the dividends
reach the handsome sum of s15, III 800,
making for those two items over S74,-
100000. If to this is added the disburse-
ments by the government on account of
interest (SS, ,215, ,27S), and the dividends
and interest payable on bank stocks,
state and municipal bonds and other
corporate institutions, the grand total
will not fall short of 800, 100000. The
following table compares the July dis
bursements on account of interest and
dividends on railroad and similar pro-
perties for 1886 and 1890:

After the transaction of considerable
routine business the delegate of the
Bakers Union stated that the firm of
tlelschmann were making great effort
IN the central organizations of the
Eastern states to have the boycott lifted
from Fleischmann's Yeast. This is
especially the case in Fall River, Mass,
New Haven, Conn, and Troy, N. Y.
The Trades Assembly in New Haven
had been induced last Sunday to lift
the boycott by a majority of one vote.
The same effort will undoubtedly be
made next Sunday in the New York
Central Labor Union. The secretary
was instructed to inform the central
bodies of said cities that the boycott
against Fleischmann's Yeast is still in
full force.
