How Yankee PrestfdIgitator Satisfied q
Curious EnRlishman.
A well-known American prestidigi-
tator was a passenger recently on one
of the big Atlantic liners homeward
bound from England. He was good
natured conjurer, and many times in
the smol1ing-room he exhibited his
skill in performing tricks for the
amusement Of other passengers. One
of the frequenters of the smoking
was an Englishman, who seemed to
be unable to get enough Of the conjur-
er's tricks. Almost every time the
American entered the room the Eng
lishman demanded something more,
and usually the American complied.
The conjurer took part in the ships

at Frankfort has contributed u long re-

models, SO extensively copied in Ger

taste that must be consulted to insure
the success Of any effort to induce the
Germans to use the American wheel.

things with cards. The FngIishman was
in a front seat, and followed the per
Torrance with absorbed interest But
the next morning when the American
walked into the smolCing-room after
breakfast the Englishnan repeated his
old demands. The conjurer picked up
from one of the little tables a pack Of
cards. which had been used in the
whist game the evening before. He
handed them to the Englishman and
said:
Pick out a card"
The Englishman. says the New York
Sun, ran over the pack and made mental
note Of his selection.
Shuttle them up commanded the
prestidigitator.
The Englishman shufHed the cards
severely, cut and shufHed again Then
the con urer shufied them. After that
he laid them out. one by one, in several
little piles. The Englishman watched
him with rapt attention. The con
jurer gathered up the little piles and
gave the pack to the Englishman
again.
Shuttle them again he said.
The Englishman did it, and then the
oonjurer picked up the pack and said:
Now, do you remember what card
il was you selected 2"
"Oh. yes" answered the Englishman.
IL remember it."
"sure you haven't fOrgOttem2"2
sOf course not"
'You can name the card -
Certainly"
''Well. then, there's no use Of my tell
ing you what it is"
And the conjurer threw down the
cards and went out, followed by roars Of
laughter from those who had seen the
trick.

TICKLISH FOR THE BRITISH.
Revelations of the Dispatches Captured by
Transvaal Beers.


London: 1t is said that President
Kruger, of the South African republic.
has in his possession altogether "a In
eliminating letters, of which he has SO
far only published a dozen. Many of
those still unpublished will provide
very striking revelations.
The critical character of the situa-
ton as between Great Britain and the
Transvaal before President Kruger's
mastery use of the captured cipher
dispatches may be gagged from ad-
vices recently given by Sir Hercules
Robinson to the imperial government
which had invited an opinion from him
piled that there were two courses open
to the imperial government, either TO
sit still and wait Krugers action to-
ward the Uitlanders or To take imme-
date warlike measures. He favored
the former policy, because IL would
take 90, 200 men to conquer the Trans
vaal To say nothing of the consequen-
tial troubles and complications IL would
entail.
A dispatch from Cape Town shows
that the plot to overthrow the Transvaal
had very wide ramifcation. All Of
the kilograms from the Chartered
South Africa Co. in Cape Town bore
the stamp "0n the company's service Z"
From copies of the letters which the
Transvaal obtained from DIR. Jameson
upon his CAPTURE it seems that orders
had been given to prepare everything
in Matabeleland for an invasion. A
dispatch from Pretoria says President
Kruger realizes the dilemma in which
