An Eighteenth Century Character.

What became of unmarried gcntlcwom-
en- in the eighteenth century, There were
many Some had money and lived alone,
with the brevct rank of mistress. Some
had none and lived for the most part
with the eldest brother. Even the thought
OF working for their livelihood was deg
radiation unspcakable. In fact, they did
work. but IL was the household work.
Such woman is described by Grosc, writ
ing in 1893. He says:
When l was n young man, therc existed
I'm tho families of most unmarried men or
widowers Of the rank of gentlemen, resi-
dents in the country, certain antiquatcd

locks Cove, Rhode Island.
The first mayor of New York was Cap
tain Thomas Willett, and the Providence
Journal says his ashes rest in lonely spot
within the boundaries OF the state OF
Rhode Island. The locality of the grave
was not known for several years at one
period, but when a new generation of
students of history came along it was
searched out.
The first mayor of New York is buried
I'm an ancient ground at the head OF Bull
locks cove, where a rough stone is erected
TO his memory containing the rudely carved
and brief inscription;

The inscription on tho footstone reads:

According 10 Mrs. George st. J. Shelf
fields recent history of Attlcboro and that
part of Bristol county, Mass, Captain
Thomas Willett, the man who lies buried
at the head of Bullock Is cove, stood at the
head of the Attleboro rroprietors. Willett $
history docs not belong exclusively 10 At
tleboro, only that he took an active part in
the original Rehoboth North Purchase.
Not much Is known of him previous TO his
emigration 10 America.
He was made assistant to the governor
plymouth coSny) in 1851 and held that
office until 1865. He was selected at this
time by tho Plymouth court, agrecably
to his majesty's commissioners, to attend
them at New York, which had just been
surrendered ny the Dutch, for the purpose
of assisting them in organizing the new
government. 1t Is mentioned by Davis in
note to his edition OF Morton's Me-
mortal. that Colonel Nichols, one of the
commissioners in a letter To Governor
Prince, written from New York, in the
spring following the reduction Of the
Dutch settlements, requests that Captain
Willett may have such a dispcnsation
from his official engagements in Plymouth
colony as TO dc at liberty TO assist III mod
cling and reducing the affairs in the set
tlemcnt into good English" Colonel Mich
OILS remarked that "Willett was more ac-
quainted with the customs and manners
of the Dutch than any man in this coun
try, and that this conversation was very
acceptable TO them"
Captain Willett executed his duties there
to the entire satisfaction Of all concerned.
His services were so highly appreciated
and he rendered himself so popular with
the people that after the organization oi
the government ho was chosen the first
English mayor of New York. He wa,
elected to the samo Office second time.

ELEcTRoCUTIoNs IN OHIO.
The Death Chair Used For First Time in
That State.

Columb bus, Ohio, April 20.-The first
electrocutions in Ohio took place tonigh :
shortly after midnight in the annex of
the Ohio penetentiary. The electrocu-
tion chair and apnliances have been 10
place in the old execution room fo1
several weeks. nwt
Haas and Wiley, the condemned men,
pnsseti the day In reading and religious
devotion. The death warrant was read
to them during the morning.
The crime for which Haas was electro
cuted was the criminal assault and mui
der of Mrs. Brader, and then out her
throat with razor.
William Wiley murdered his wife on
the west side of Cincinnati twenty days
after Haas committed his crime.
Haas was the first to be ele:trocuted.
He was strapped to the chnir Mt 1921.
When he was brought into the electrocu-
tion room he closely scrutinized the chair
and was pushed into it. The current was
turned on for period of two seconds,
three times In succession.
