Professor Carl Hertz, the con-
jurer and illusionist, arrived on
the Gaelic. He is making a tour
Of the world and has just closed a
most successful engagementin the
Orient, where he made hand
some fortune.
The Professor has had many
thrilling experiences during his
eventful life. He is a charming
rsconteur. This morning he told
how he bested a party of card
sharps. He said:
II was on the steamer City
of Rome en- route from
Liverpool to New York. On
the Atlantic steamers profession
al gamblers travel with the object
OF fleeing passengers. On this
voyage there was a rich young
fellow who had fallen into the
hands of three csrdsharpers. Play
had been disastrous for him and
at the end of one day they had SO,

warned him. When 1 did 80 he
refused to believe me. At length
/ persuaded him to let me take his
hand in the game after he had
played for half an hour or so,
and l promised that be should
have his $1,000 back. Next morn
ing play started, and the plan
agreed on was followed. l sat in
the game and watched the three
confederates until l made up my
mind what to do. 1t was my deal.
After we lifted the cards, betting
was vigorous, each striving to out
do the other, until a heap of
money, jewelry, and 1. o. US, to
the value of about $4,000, had
been accumulated. The pots

in this, too, gentlemen, your
knsyes, your queens, your kings
are no good, for 1 have four aces"
AS | showed the aces in my hand,
one of the msu sprang to his feet
and drew bis revolver, but at the
moment the captain in the midst
of the throng who had crowded in
the smoking room seized his arm.
The three sharpers we're put in
irons, and on the vessel arriving in
New York, each of them received
a sentence of two years. The
young fellow recovered his G1O00,
and the remainder of the money
was handed to the captain for
charities.

BIG COLORADO CROPS.
Value is Expected to Exceed That of
Last Year.

Denver, Aug. 5-The weather cOndi-
lions in Colorado have been favorable
for harvesting but rather unfaVOra BILE
to grain, owing to the excessive heat
and absence Of rain. Harvesting is I'M
der way in nearly all districts. In the
north central section where wheat has
ripened uneavenly and considerable
rust is reported, the average yield viii
probably be somewhat below that OF
last year. The long spell of hot wea-
Their has also reduced the yield on the
western slope, but in the Arkansas val
ley where the crop was farther ad
Vanced and thrashing is in progress,
very heavy yields are generally report
ed.
In San Luis park the harvest will be
gin earlier than last year Oats and
barley are above the average as a rule,
and especially barley in the north cen
trail counties. Potatoes are being ir-
riSated and shipments of early vdriet es
made. ApricOts, apples, peaches and
plumS are coming into market in large
quantities and the first crop promises
to be large and better than ever before.
The supply of water has fallen off rap
idly and where available, stored water
is being used for irrigating.
A bout 100000 acres have been added
this year to the area under cultivation
and While it is yet too early to give any
estimates as to the amount or value of
the various products this year, it is
reasonably certain that their gross val
ue will exceed the total for 1897, which
was about S33, 900, 600.
The live stock industry is growing at
a rapid rate and ten million dollars is
a conservative estimate of the increase
in the value of live stock owned in Col
OradO during the past year.

Two of the regiments of this brigade

officers on special duty have been paid
The seven regiments ordered to Porto
Rico will be paid first.
Major Wilkins, army paymaSter,

CAUGHT A BURGLAR.
Chief Strauss and His Men Run Him
Down With a Locomotive.

A burglar was caught this morning
by the police in North Topeka, and aft
er being arrested he confessed to Al
Hopkins and Harry Kelley to having
entered the house for the purpose of
plumber.
Word came to the police at II o'clock
that a burglar had been caught in
North Topeka and Chief Strauss and
Patrolman Smith went in the patrol
wagon to the Santa Fe juntion depot.
They found that a house Immediately
west of the depot had been burglarized
and IS cents stolen, together with some
food They went north from there in
pursuit fully a mile and were returning
when Jumbo Beeler, a Santa Fe en-
CINE tester, ran a locomotive down the
tracks and met the officers. He told
them that some railroad men had
caught tramp in a corn field and that
he answered the description of the fell
low seen in the house. Chief Strauss
boarded the engine and rode to the de-
pot where he took the man into GUS
tody. He was identified as the burglar
and afterward admitted it He gave

FLEET FROM PORTO RICO.
Ordered to Santiago to Bring Away
Skaters Army.

Washington. Aug.5.-The war depart
ment has ordered the large fleet of
transports at Ponce to proceed to San
tiago. there to join with the transports
already at Santiago, in bringing Gen.
Skaters army back to this country.
There are ten large transports with the
fleet, at Ponce, some of them, like the
Mobile, having a capacity of 1000 men.
In all they have a carrying capacity of
6 400 men. This with the capacity of
the ships already at Santiago, will give
a carrying strength of over 1900 men
at trip.
In addition to the transports an
nounced by the war department yester-
day as being ready at Santiago, it now
appears that the Orizaba, capacity $50
men, is also available. The Yale will
also be brought in to the service in the
course of a week or ten days. At pres
ent she is to be utilized in taking Gen.
Fred Grants brigade to Porto Rico,
after which she will return by the way
of Santiago and take on load of Shat
ter's men.
The press dispatches from Santiago
saying that the troops were greatly
elated on the prospects of beginning
the homeward movement, is accepted
with satisfaction by the war officials
here. They say that the embarkatiOn
has already begun and that the Louis
lana, which left day before yesterday
with cavalry on board, is now well on
her way home.
With the arrival of Skaters army in
this country, every facility will be
given ~ lll6 liOOpS " IGCQp6IdlG L HIS
will apply not only to the sick. but to
the well, as it is appreciated that the
hardships through which the men have
gone, must have taxed the vitality even
of the strongest.
There will be no yellow fever cases
brought to this country, as such cases
can be best handled without removal.
The less serious cases of sickness, not
involving cOntagiOn, will be brought If
the patients are cOnValeScing to a point
where removal will be advantageous.
Surgeon General Sternberg has in view
several points for patients and con-
valcesents. The actual hospital station
will probably be located at Montauk
Point, where a field hospital for five
hundred patients is being prepared, in
addition to the hospital equipment
which Gen. Skaters forces will bring
along with them. But in addition to
this, Gen. Sternberg has in view two
fine locations where the bracing noun
tain and lake air will help GONZALES
cents to recovery. These points are FIT.
Ethan Allen, VT, and the army post at
Plattsburg, N. Y.
Gen. Sternberg has no purpose Of
making these points hospital camps in
the ordinary sense of the word, where
to make them available for the con-
valescents already well on the way to
recovery, who need good air and sur
roundings to bring them completely
back to health. Each post will accom-
modate some 500 to 800 men. The order
designating them for this purpose has
not yet been made, but Gen. Sternberg
doubtless will make the recommended
ton for their use.

MALARIAL AND THYROID
Comprise the Bulk of the Fever Gases
at Santiago.

Philadelphia, Aug. 5.-Dr. John Gut
teras, the famous yellow fever expert
and one Of the leading Cuban advisers
IN this country, arrived at his home in
this city from Santiago de Cuba where
he has been engaged in yellow fever
work under the direction of the govern
ment.
Dr.. Guiteras was decidedly averse to
discussing the conditions existing in
and around Santiago. He also de-
clined to make any comments upon the
efhclency or alleged lack of efficiency of
the medical and hospital corps of the
army.
Concerning the yellow fever which
mas attacked the troops, DIR. Guiteras
said:
The yellow fever cases thus far have
been of light order and the mortality
among the troops has not been heavy.
1he most serious source of trouble at
present is from typhoid fever and ma
Iarla- Most of the men i'll in the hos
pltals are suffering from one or the
other of these diseases
AS the season drags on, however,
the yellow fever will become more seri-
Gus and then it will be worse than the
typhoid"
Continuing, DR.. Guiteras said:
For reasons apparent to all, I can
not discuss the affairs of the army in
pupIlc. shall make an official report
OF my observations direct to Surgeon
General Sternberg. Most of the troops
now IN Santiago I suppose will be

and the rule will apply to a vessel en-
tering in ballast and departing with a
cargo.

Chickamauga Park, Tenn, Aug. s.
The present indications are that the
seven regiments at Camp Thomas, in
cluded in General Wade's provisional
expedition, will leave early next week,
probably Monday or Tuesday. The regi-
ments are in complete readiness to
move and the necessary orders are be-
ing anxiOusly awaited.
The only definite order so far issued
is to the signal corps under Colonel
Squires, which is directed to leave

The selection of the regiments to join

were not included in the order are very
much dissatisfied and are making strong
efforts to yet be included

BURIED ALIVE.
Belief That Missouri Man Was Blu
ried While in Trance.

Kansas City, Aug. 5.-William Rad
cliffe, of Buckner, in the eastern part of
Jackson county, was pronounced dead
by a physician last Sunday night, an
undertaken was sent for and a casket
ordered. Before the arrival of the IN
dertaker Radcliffe revived, and was APP
parently in reasonably good health. The
fact that his coffin had been ordered
was carefully concealed from him, and
he slept sOundly Sunday night, and af-
ter a hearty breakfast Monday morn
ing, walked about in his yard. He be-
came suddenly i'll again while in his
yard and was removed to the house,
where he sank rapidly, and upon the
arrival of a physician, who had been
hastily summoned, he was again pro-
nounced dead. The undertaken was
again sent for, the Smae casket reOr-
dered, and Monday afternoon the fun
eral was held.
Now the people of the neighborhOod
about Buckner, among whom he had
lived for many years, are excited by a
fear that he might have been buried
alive. The fact that his pulse had
ceased to beat Sunday night, and that
death had been pronounced by a ply
stefan on that occasion as on the last
leads to the fear that he was in a Sec
ond trance of longer duration than the
first, and from which he would have
awakened had the body not been SO
