to satisfactory solution. Will 81.
Proctor, who plays the title role, is ex
ceptionally clever, while Fred Carey
and Bob Kelley help to make the
performance go. The singing of Miss
Neale G. Hawkins is very fine. The
quartet is good and the choruses
among the best heard here. There Is
q drill called the "Hunter's Song" on
the program which made q great
hit.
The dancing of Will Grundy was
the best ever seen here and, it ia to
be regretted that he was placed in the
background after the first few minutes
of the first act. He is really the only
com edian in the show and what little
he was allowed to do he did with much
credit to himself and pleased the au-
dience very much.
The performance will be repeated to-
night with an entire change of pro-
gram.

The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1899-09-20

Some days ago little girl, a daugh-
ter of Mrs. Field, living on Lake Glib
son near Lakeland, jumped off the
wharf on the lake to take a swim.
She is an expert swimmer, but had
hardly touched the water before she
was seized by the leg, between the
knee and ankle, by an alligator. She
was pulled under the water by the saul
rian, but managed to break away, and
started hastily toward the shore, only.
a few yards distant, the gator again
came to the attack, this time Selling
her in the fieshy part of the side, be-
tween ribs and hip. The little one
was plucky, however, and managed
to again break away from the cruel
Jaws, this time reaching the shore
the gator following until she was on
dry land, when he disappeared fom
from view. The girl never lost her
presence Of mind, which probably was
the reason Of her escaping alive. She
gives very graphic description of the
dangerous encounter and has two
very ugly wounds to vOuch for her
story. She says she could not see the
entire length of the beast, but from
what she could see would judge it to
have been only about five feet long
small gator to attack person. The
girl is IA years of age-Eustis Lake

upon the floor. This she accomplished
with the aid of the butler. There had
been only two men present during the
whole afternoon; both of them had
discreetly departed before the clock
started to run down.
At last the clock lay voiceless and
truly inanimate on the floor. Then
Mrs. Van Huymen tainted. She was
carried to her chamber, and doctors
were already coming upon the scene.
Carriages were bearing away the
guests, and in very few minutes Miss
Hollowell and one physician were
alone with Mrs. Van Huymen. She
soon returned to consciousness, only to
suffer a series of hysterical attacks,
calling pathetically for her husband,
and expressing her certain belief that
he was dead. But that cOOl-headed
man of business soon banished all
doubts as to his personal well-ueing
by appearing at the gate, and with his
usual, sprightly, business-like gait
walked up the path and entered the
house. His presence soon restored az
fairs to a normal state. He laughed
joked with his wife, as he listened to
the days history. He commended her
bravery and was especially struck
with her presence of mind in stopping
the clock. He inquired the exact time
of the latter event.
cts rather singular" he said, ''but
it's an actual fact that at that very
moment I was descending at the rate
of about a mile a minute in the I'M
manageable elevator Of the Exchange
building. Somehow the thing stopped
just as it was diving into the cellar.
What stopped it no one knows; at
least the employees think it was truly
miraculous AS for me, l didn't stop
to examine closely, for I wanted to
catch the train"
Mrs. Van Huymen has not yielded
entirely to the superstition which en-
shrouds the celebrated Van Huymen
clock. That handsome timepiece still
holds it's dignifed position in the vest1-
bule, with the surrounding rubber
plants But everything in it's interior
that could in any conceivable way give
it motive power has been removed
from the premises.

friends were descending to the first
floor In spite of all efforts at cheer

then forced to admit that Mrs. Van
Huymen was not looking her best. She
was pale and furried and looked ner-

lived up to her reputation that after
noon. She stepped lingeringly and
daintily across the vestibule, taking in
every detail of the surroundings, but
particularly noticing the clock. When
she had entered and kissed both her
"sweet darlings," she began.

Everything had gone all right after the
marriage until three months had elapsed.
Then John, according to the plaintiff, had
been systematically cruel to her, and,
Furthermore, had been habitually drunk.
The combination had led him to throw
lamps at her and tear her dresses, until
1t had become unsafe for her to live with
the defendant any longer. They had
kept house on Exchange street.

tiff, corroborated her daughters testi-

thought more of another woman" Soon
after he was mean to her and chased her
away from the house. When she re-
