what name do you give this childs'' said a
Western preacher to a couple who had brought
their baby some distance to be baptised.
''Luthy, SIR lisped the bashful mother, and
the pas.or, who was little deaf, exclaimed in
horror:
'.Lnciferl Nonsense, woman!'' and dipping
his hand in the font, he continued, with viz
tuous JUNCTION, "Jchn Wesley, baptiae' thee
-.'' And whether she would or no, the
poor little girl received the name OF that great
preacher.
= young couple, who appeared one Sunday at
the altar to baptise their first child, were the
victims of an amusing though less serious blum
der. The wife was quite self-possessed, but the
young husband seemed painfully abashed
Name the ctild,,' said the clergyman and
the poor young man looked about in hopeless
embarrassment as il in search of the forgotten
words At this critical moment his wife nudged
him; then he awoke to the requirements OF taaf
occasion and said in q loud, clear voice: III

The ceremony at his last visit to the altar was
evidently fresh in his mind as to have quite
overshadowed the Significance of the preseEt &C.

Palatka Herald.
Tim Smith, q colored laborsr working on W.
F. Fuller's orange grove at Edgewater, comes to
Palatka nearly every day in row boat. To do
this he is compelled to pass BuzZard island q
dark and lonely place, grown up with brush and
inhabited by all sorts Of wild birds, and may well
be termed the home OF the alligator. owing to
its quietness and dark waters, which are seldom
disturbed beyond the ripple of an oar manipu-
lated by the huntsman.
For several weeks Tim Smith noticed a partic-
ularly large alligator whose back was filled with
barna cles and long green moss. The alligator
was never known to demonstrate any fear and
would not get out of Smith S way under any con-
sideration, allowing him to row rather close
toward him.
Last Thursday, when Smith started for town.
he put Winchester rife in his boat for the eI-
press purpose of giving his 'gatorship C load OF
cold lead. When opposite Buzzard island the
alligator appeared and, rowing within easy
range, Smith fired five shots at the saurian. all
of which seemed to take effect, for the alligator
made terrible hutter in the water and turned
over on its back.
tor floating near by and, tying rope about its
head, towed it to the Edgewater grove, when the
alligator was found to measure sixteen FEET
three and one-haH inches in length, two hdEfs
having entered the skin just back % the
head. 81 =
Smith then set to work and skinned 2as
saurian for market, when 70 his great s5riIlise
the darkey came across human skull pefIsctly
formed and unbroken, but owing to the supersti-
tiousness of the negro he stopped skinning the
alligator, which operation was finished by
white employe on the grove. Further dissection
brought to light gold watch bearing the
initials sc. L. t." The skull and watch are
now on exhibition at Fry taxidermy store
Who the unfortunate man was no one seems to
know, the initials are not familiar aboQ6a
here, but it is supposed that he was some sporfs-
man 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 a. guide to kee5
them from the dark and dangerous tributar1es
that empty into the St. Johns. II

He then retired TO another room and was

told the owner of the necklace that it

years before; in fact, that it was paste.
Rushing home to his wife, the startled

confession was the precursor of fierce
domestic rupture.

New YORK, May III dined yester-
day in the mansion of John Jacob Astor.
don't mean the present John Jacob,
but the original millionaire, who dwelt
In Lafayette place. The house Is res
taurant now, and that fact expresses a
peculiar characteristic of the Astors.
They are liberal in charities, but when it
comes to the management of their real
estate they apply close business princi-
pies without deviation. You might
reasonably suppose that they would re-
serve this original Astor mansion, but
not so. Their rule is to devote their real
estate to the most profitable uses, so
long as these are reputable. Lafayette
pace long ago ceased to be fashionable
for dwellings, and so this structure, the
home of the family's founder, is rented
to restaurant-keeper with the unaristo-
cratic name of Seighortuer. Neighbors
OF the present Astor families up on Fifth
avenue thought it strange when the
Astor property directly opposite was
turned into stores, but to my mind the
,95sping of the Lafayette mansion as an
'edtfng- house is still more singular in
stance of Astor rigidity in the control of
their property.

DIME MUSEUM SCENE.
One of the dime muse ums in the Bow
cry exhibited sign announcing that 8
stage performance such as no man of an
artistic turn of mind should miss was
given every hour. The usual physical
monstrosities were sitting on platforms
in the first room entered after the door
was passed. A strain of music
emanated from an apartment
further on, and toward this
the crowd seemed generally bent.
The curtain was up, but across the front
OF the stage was stretched screen of
pink gauze, such as is used for mosquito
netting. Behind this were groups of Iiv-
ing statuary, fully thirty women being
utilized in the picture. The show has
long been prominent II the slums, but it
has up to the present time consisted of
women dressed from head TO foot in snow
white with their heads powdered so that
sfhe complete effect of marble was Sc
cared. The manager OF this Bowery dis
play, however, had watched rival estab-
lishments flourish while his was neglected
and he determined to beat them at their
vulgar game. He was shrewd in his
planning. Securing the names of a few
young swefls belonging to the fashionable
clubs. he sent 10 them letters advising
them of the show that he proposed
producing. and saying ethat they and
their friends would be xelcome. It is
sometimes imagined that Rhe highly cul-
tured portion of the New York youth is
Superior to the destinations Of depravity,
but the manner in which they fiocked to
the Bowery dime museum on the FIRST
night of the statuary exhibition would
appear to cast some shadow upon this
opinion.
When the curtain was raised murmur
of astonishment went up froin the spec
ta;ors. The manager had followed out

A Bright Boy.

A bright little boy and a good looking
young lady came into an elevated car to-
gether yesterday and commenced talking
about the tickets they had just thrown into
the choppers box. Their conversation at
tracted the attention of the passengers near
them.
''How much do those tickets costF' asked
the boy.
Five cents cach-ten cents for two," was
the reply.
''That would be five for twenty-five cents,
wouldn't it, Jenneg'

interest displayed by the listeners she con
cluded to ''show him off"
Now, tell me, how many tickets could you
get for a dollarP"
After some hesitation the answer came:
''Twenty."
'sWell, if you were to use two every day,
how long would the dollars worth lastf'
This was puzzler The little fellow thought
it over for long time. Suddenly his face

COMMERCIAL STREET EXTENSION
AZ Arcade Scheme With Millions In lit
Should be Worked.

SHOULD De worked.
The announcement in yesterdays HER
AID that the Methodist church property
was about to be sold. and Denver parties
had closed a contract of sale on other Com
mercial street property, linked with the
Dther fact that property was being quietly
purchased and tied up on the extension line
set the owners of property in very nerv-
GUS and excitable state.
The Methodist church building had stood
In the way of this extension, and to the
timid was Jonah. To the syndicate that
had carefully figured the exact value of
every front foot in case the street was
opened, the Methodist church Jonah was
small bait that the big Denver whale could
swallow and get along with swimingly.
The Methodist church property is S21Sx
l65 and the price at which the trustees
agree TO sell is $4,000. The opening of
Commercial street will give them l65 feet
frontage on either side Of the extension or
$50 feet in all. Calculating this at 81, 900
per foot front, it foots up to the nice sum
Of $3.50, 000 While they will have but
shallow lots they will have sufficient depth
to build rooms like those in the Arcade in
Cincinnati. Nor is the Methodist church
building TO be torn down as many believe,
but the street will be tunneled through,
leaving the present structure in toto ex-
cept the narrow space required for the
street In this way they will save all the
frontage on Second South, except twenty
feet of the first story, so that they will
really have frontage on both streets by
sacrificing one store room.
The total frontage on Commercial street
In the block will be 1920 feet. which at
tl,000 per foot front, figures up to 81 800, :
boo.
Surely this is scheme with millions
b it.
A member of the executive committee of
the church told THE HERALD reporter that
the negotiations would probably be closed
Monday and that the consideration was
10000, as they could not sell it for any
less amount.
