Dear Gcntlemnn About the City 81

Texas Steer again.. forj when Senator

81 The Senator Is on his way to Congress-.
We hear, and with him In, Washington
and sCharL g Bland In Mr.. lizards place

peace with herself 81
We don't know when we ever passe ed as
pleasant an evening rs that given us
by Professor Brooks. tho English coh-
juroraat Tom Hnlcher's. s
The Professor Ia. strictly speaking ,t a
club entertainer. He can do more. clever
tricks than any man In the same line, We
ever saw. 81 6 tx
And there Is a magnetism about his
work that charms an dattracts to Q nigh
degree. M Z. S NJ.
Tie entertained a party Of artists. news
paper men, professional men and men
about town at a little supper. and after
TIulcher had passed things around
In his X own 9f1 way to tho delight
OF the little party, and &c Cigars were being
enjoyed. he Professor did a few tricks.
Everybody watched the Professor but
nobody could catch on.
-
der ful sleight-of-hand professors that
anybody in the party had ever seen
como down tho pike. M
ffe put a card in Harry Glenn's pocket,
and took 1t out ola cigarette that Charlie
FrIschkorn had given him. III
He took a card We had thought OF ana
passed 1t over to DR.. Shocks, and then
we found It In the bottom Of our chair.
Mr.. Lewis, Of the +Bostock Show, ana
Joe Hurst. thought OF two cards. and
they were found in Mr. Benton's ov erccnt
pocket out ION the hat rack. 81
Then he did his marvellous trunk tri OK,
IN which somebody locks him up, and
then after placing a canvas cover over
the trunk and tying It with strong ropes,
he got out without as much as turning
the lock in the trunk. g5
We arc glad we mot Professor Brooks
and the party, and NO are glad that the.
Professor has determined to stay here.
for then we will SEQ him some more az
Manhattan Beach this summer. M
y Here's to you. Pro tessor!
We were right up in front at Sparks
and Blacks tho other night when the
prize Eight returns were being handed IN
by Jim Bncci.
We got around the table with Gften,S
Corbin Shields and George Guvernator,5
and we losta nickel on the fight. because
we got reckless in the seventh round, and
put up our money on McGovern with
Jack Avery, who has been after US to lot
him insure our lie, 8i
. We knew Corbett was going to win, but
we always like to be with the under dog
who always needs friends. i * s3
The evening passed pleasantly to us, ana
white tho crowd was talking loudest.gi g
stentorinn voice said:
Money tnlksl''
Then it became very still, all Of a sud
den.
5s But when Jim Bacci shouted out that
Corbetts ''lubrlcative powers" had won
Black laughed until he cracked q glass;.
This extract from woodward whisllng
expresses our sentiments, too:
