Hunt Killed by 1 Electricity at Auburn. Amman" N. Y., April 5. —William Lake. the" Albion murderer, was executed by electricity at 12:43 o’clock today. He made no statement. Upon being aroused he dressed himself for the last time and remained quiet until his breakfast was brought to him. He ate it heartily. The warden asked him if he cared to answer any questions or make any state- ment, and he replied in the negative. His photograph was taker: at 10 o’clock, and half an hour later he was visited by the Rev. George T. Webb of the Second Baptist church, who baptized him yester- day. William Lake murdered Emma Louise Hunt at Carlton, N. Y., in October last. Not content with more extinction of life, he butchered her corpse, pounded the head into jelly with a hammer, and with a dull knife slashed a. bloody cross on her abdo- men to obliterate the evidence of another crime. Lake was the hired man and Miss Hunt the hired girl at the Van Camp homestead. He love. :ier madly, but she In his room at last he deliberately planned her death, writing his confession before he committed the deed and reciting his life story pathetical- ly, tragically, lifting the veil from another secret in his life that had made him moody and morbid. The finding of this confession helped in his capture and conviction. Lake never deried either the confession or the murder. He approved the verdict and 'looked forward with longing for the day of his taking off. SET UPON KOEHLER. Thc.Alleged Ex-Pricst Attacked and Left For Dead by His Assailants. .BUFFALO.

Sir Henry James, former~ 1y attorney general, for Earl Russell con- tended that the petition was not a bona fide one, and that the countess was actu- ated by a desire to secure money.

The Danc-‘ ing Dogs, Burning Snow and Fire Writing All Explained. If you wish to amuse and mystify your young friends, when all the familiar games have been played and the jollity lags a bit, here are a few tricks, simple enough when you know them, but very puzzling and interesting to the uniniti- ated. They are not particularly new, to be sure, but it is just possible they are so old the little folks of to-day may never have tried them before. '- When there is any quantity of snow you might bring some of it into the house and show your small acquaintances how it can be burned. Of course, they will not believe it can be done, and they will be greatly astonished after you have made a little cone shaped mound and ap— plied a. lighted match to the apex, to see it blaze up and burn with a beautiful col- ored flame. When you are arranging the pyramid ofsnow you must manage to set a piece of camphor gum at the point. As it is the gum that burns, and not the snow, there is nothing so remarkable about the trick, after all. But to any One not in the secret it looks very mysterious, indeed, as do so many other things We do not understand. Did you ever see any one write his name with flame on a. piece of paper With- out burning anything? The fire seems to travel over the surface until the let- ters are all outlined, and then it. goes out. It looks very weird, indeed, especially if the lights have been turned down and the performance has been preceded by a. lot of stories about. ghosts andother‘un- canny topics. snow, it’snothing but a. trick. and any boy or girl can do it. \Vhat you need are a few cents’ worth of saltpeter, which you can buy at any apothecury’s shop, and some pieces of unsized paper. Drop the salt-peter into a. bowl of water until no more will dissolve. Then take a. wooden toothpick or any other sharpened stick, dip it in the saltpeter and write whatever you like on the paper. A regu— lar little show might be arranged by a clever boy, or a girl, either, for that mat- ter. It might better be both. The boy could be stage manager and tell :1. won— derful little tale about the way his star conjurer had been spirited away to some Rider Haggard land, where she had learned some of the mysterious powers over fire known only to the natives of the novelist’s strange land. He will then in- troduce mademoiselle, the wizardess, who will proceed to do wonderful things with the fire. She will hold the paper and the match in her hand, and after saying the spell in the language of this strange “People of the Mist,” the fire will begin to travel over the paper, per- haps spelling a. motto or outlining-some weird or familiar animal. Of course, if you got a good look at the papers you would see a pencil mark indicating where the match should be applied, but otherwise the paper would appear un- marked. The saltpeter dries quickly, and on unglazed paper will not show. ~ If the youthful showman wants any other number on his programme he might bring on a small company of dancing dogs. A little more skill is re- quired to construct the dancing dogs, but any ordinary boy or girl who has a little patience can do it. The materials are simple—some camphor gum, needles, cork, thin cardboard pictures of dogs and a shallow basin of water. First make sure that your hands are thoroughly clean and dry and that the cork is new. 01d cork soaked with oil or some other substance will not answer. Having gathered your materials, cut a. rather thin layer of the cork, lay it flat on the table and push two needles through it horizontally-so that they will forms. cross. On each of the four ends stick a. bit of gum camphor. Try to get each piece of the gum as near. ly the same size as the others as possible. Having fixed your floaters, as it were, look out for your dogs. Paste the pict- ures, which should represent dogs stand- ing on their hind legs, on the pasteboard and cut out around them, leaving a small piece of the pasteboard attached to the feet. This should be bent at right angles to the figure and fastened to the cork with a. bit of sealing wax. Now set your figures in the basin of water and they will float and gyrate in a perpetual waltz that is very funny indeed. After awhile, of course, the camphor will evaporate, but new pieces can be put on the needles for each performance, or whenever needed. At a. children’s party not long ago a simple but amusing game was played which may be new to some or you. Each player was blindfolded in turn. But be- fore the-hnndkerchief was tied over his eyes he was told to look around the room 'and notice the objects in it and how they were placed. After being blindfolded he turned around three times and then said aloud what he expected to touch by walk- ing straight ahead. And how the chil- dren laughed when the boy, who thought that wasn’t any game at all. laid his hand upon the steam radiator when he said he was going to touch the china cabinet which was on the other side of the room! He was given the booby prize, a funny little colored doll with a great many red flannel petticoats that made a capital penwiper.-—N. Y. World. A PREMIER’S NERVE. of an After Dinner Speech. Many years ago the late Sir John Mac- donald was present at a public dinner at which he was expected to deliver a rather important speech. In the conviviality of the occasion he forgot the more serious duty of the evening, and when, at a late hour, he rose, his speech was by no mean. as luminous as it might have been. The reporter, knowing that it would not do to print his notes as they stood, called on Sir J ohu next day and told him that he was not quite sure of having secured an accurate report. He was invited to read over his notes, but he had not gone far when Sir John interrupted him with “ That is not what I said.” There was a pause, and Sir John continued: “Let me repeat my remarks.” and delivered a most impressive speech in the hearing of the amused reporter, who took down every word as it. fell from his lips. Having thanked Sir John for his courtesy, he was taking his leave when he was recalled. to receive this ad- monition: “Young man, allow me to give you this word of advice : Never again at- naut. But, like the wonderful Bobuked a Newspaper Man for His Report I He then walked up and down the room' temptto report a public-speaker when: you are drunk.”-Sau Francisco Argo-- To Sell John L's Efl’octs.
