The Du1lest Day of the Week.

My friend, the city editor, who is ex- pected to keep track of everything go- ing on in Boston and suburbs, tells me that fewer things take place on Friday than on any other week day. To prove it he showed me his assignment book, and sure enough, week in and week out, there was less recorded on Friday than on any other day. He attributes this state of affairs to the bad name from which the day suffers among superstitious people, and who of us is not little bit superstitious9
 Nobody, he says, will, if it can be avoided, undertake anything on Fri day. Of course, there is never a we'd ding to be reported on such a day, and seldom feast of any kind. But not in social matters alone is it summed, for many @ business enterprise is post poned out of dread for the luckless day. Blue Monday is the next dullest day in the week. Things do not thor oughly get to going after the Sunday stop until Tuesday. Saturday would be @ blank day, too, on account of its nearness to Sunday were 1t not for that class of institutions peculiar to Boston-the Saturday clubs-Boston Globe

SWALLOWED BY AN ALLIGATOR.
A Human Skull and a Watch Found in [
 Saurian's Stomach.

A Human Skull and a Watch Found in
 Saurian's Stomach.
 Tim Smith, colored laborer work ing on w. E. Fuller's orange grove at Edgewater, comes to Palatka nearly every day in rowboat. To do this he is compelled to pass Buzzard Isl and, dark and lonely place, grown up with brush and inhabited by all sorts of wild birds, and may we'll be termed the home of the alligator, ow- ing to its quietness and dark waters, which are seldom disturbed beyond the ripple of an oar manipulated by the huntsman.
 For several weeks Tim Smith noticed particularly large alligator, whose back was filled with barnacles and long green moss. The alligator was never known to demonstrate any fear, and would not get out of Smiths way under any consideration, allowing him to row rather close toward him.
 Recently, when Smith started for town, he put Winchester rifle in his boat for the express purpose of giving his 'gatorship load of cold lead. When opposite Buzzard Island the al ligator reappeared, and, rowing to within easy range, Smith fired five shots at the saurian, all of which seemed to take effect, for the alligator made terrible flutter in the water, and turned over on its back.
 Three days later Smith found the dead alligator floating near by, and, tying a rope about its head, lowed it to the Edgewater grove, when the alli- gator was found to measure 16 feet 3a inches in length, two balls having en- tered the skin just back of the head.
 Smith then set to work and skinned the saurian for market, when to his great surprise the darky came across 8 human skull, perfectly formed and unbroken, but owing to the supersti- tiousness of the negro he stopped skin- the alligator, which operation was fin ished by a white employe on the grove. Further dissection brought to light a gold watch bearing the initials ''G. L. T." The skull and watch are now on exhibition at Fry's taxidermy store. Who the unfortunate man was no one seems to know, as the initials are not familiar about here, but it is sup posed that he was some sportsman, who, alone, was attacked and devoured by the alligator, as is quite often the case with northern tourists who come to Florida and navigate its streams without guide to keep them from the dark and dangerous tributaries that empty into the St. John's.-Palatka Herald.

 Kemmler's Crime.
 Kemmler's crime was the brutal murder at Buffalo, March %, 1889, of Mrs. Fred Zeigler, with whom he had eloped from Philadelphia year and half before he killed her. Kemmler then lived in the Quaker City and did business in selling market truck. He became acquainted with Mrs. Ziegler and mutual attach lnent was followed by an elopement Mrs. Ziegler took along her 4-year-old daughter Ella, who was the principal witness azainst her mothers paramour.
 For some months the gui--y couple lived happily in Buffalo, going under the name of Hart. A bitter quarrel finally took place. Kemmler grabbed hatchet, hit his victim on the head and felled her to the floor Then with fiendish brutality he followed up the assault, chopping at the prostrate woman's body. Little Ella paralyzed with fear, watched the awful work.

 AUBURN, N. Y, Aug. With a short, sharp shock, painless so far as the world will ever know, the soul of William Kemm- Ter was separated from his body at GAO o'clock Wednesday morning. A cup ad- justed to the head of man bound captive in strange looking chair, a lever quick ly swung around the arc of a semi circle, a quick convulsion, sudden re- vival of muscular action, another turn of the lever, a pause, 8 room filled with sick ening fumes, and twenty-seven witnesses of the first electricide in history knew that the death of Tillie Ziegler had been avenged in law and the crime of William Kemmler expiated so far as human hands could force it's expiation.
 Kemmler's Last Words.
 Warden Durston and Joseph Vieling, of Erie county, strapped the doomed man in the death chair. Kemmler was very calm and watched the proceedings eagerly. When asked if he had anything to say he replied: "Yes, wish you all good luck in this world and in the next. think I am going to a good place. The newspapers have not treated me right. That is the only thing have to say. wish you all very good luck" He said this very much as if he was aggrieved, and not as if he was on the threshold of the grave.
 While the straps were being arranged Kemmler said to the warden and his as- sistant: ''Take your time. Don't be in 8 hurry. Be sure that everything is all right" Two or three times he repeated these phrases

 The warden took in his hand the harness that was to fit over the face. The broad straps covered the forehead, part of the nose and greater part of the beard. The mouth was left free.
