HIS LAST TRICK.
An American Prestidigitateur Salts
fled an Englishman.

A well-knOWn American preStidigita-
tt tur was passenger recently on one of
the big Atlantic liners, homeward
bound from England. He is a good
natured conjurer, and many times in
the snoking-roOm he exhibited his skill
IL performing tricks for the amusement
OF the other passengers, says the Wash
ingtOn Star" One of the frequenters
of the snoking-rooGn was an English
man, who seemed 10 be unable to get
enough of the conjurer's tricks. Almost
every time tine American entered the
room the EngiIs,hnpan demanded some
thing more, and usually the American
complied. The conjurer took part in
the ships concert and did a lot of
surprising Things with cards. The Eng
lishman was in a front seat and fol-
lowed the performance with absorbed
interest. But the next morning when
the American walked into the smok-
ing-roon after breakfast the English
man repeated his old demand. The
conjurer picked UP from one of the
little tables a pack of cards, which had
been used in the whist game Of the
evening before. He handed it to the
Englishman and said
Pick out a card.
The EngliShman ran over the pack
and made mental note of his selection.
Shuttle them up commanded the
prestidigitateur.
The EEg'ilhman shuffled again Then
the conjurer shuffled them. After that
he laid them cut, one 10y one, in several
little piles. The Englisrnan watched
him with rapt attention. The conjurer
gathered up the H..le piles and gave
the pack TO the Englisman again.
Shuttle them again. he said.
The Englishman did it, and then the
ccnjurer picked up the pack and said:
Now, do you remember what card
it was you selected"
"Oh. yes" answered the Englishman
Il remember it"
Sure you haven't forgotten?"
"Of course not
You can name the card?"
Certainly"
''Wel, then, there's 70 use of my tell
ing you what it is
And the conjurer threw down the
cards and went out, followed by the
roars of laughter from those who had
seen the trick.

The Scene of the Tragedy at San
Joaquin City.
San Luis Obispo Visited by the Most
Disastrous Fire in the History of
the City-Over One Hundred Thou
sand Dollars Worth of Property
Already Destroyed, and the Flames
Not Yet Under Control.

TRACY, July S-A sad mistake was
made at San Joaquin City last night at
about IL o'clock
George Finch, who keeps a. roadside
inn there, thought he heard some one
trying to gain entrance to the house.
He aroused his brother Elmer, and the
two armed themselves and started to
investigate.
Both went down stairs and there sep
arated, George going to the front of the
house and his brother to the rear.
George looked out of a window and
seeing man, as he thought, trying to
escape, shot at him.
The man fell and the shooter was hor-
Tified on approaching the fallen man to
discover that it was his brother.
He Immediately aroused his wife and
neighbors, but nothing could be done,
as the man was dead. The Coroner and
Sheriff were at once notified and went
to the scene this morning.
Fatalities have been numerous in the
family. The first wife of George Finch
was drowned several years ago in the
San Joaquin River, while crossing on a
ferryboat. Last year he had a brother
drowned, and now he has killed another
brother accidentally.
George Finch is well known and re-
spected. He held the Office of Constable
bic for several terms at Crows Land
ing.
An inquest was held this afternoon,
and George was exonerated from all
blame in the matter.
