Lucky Baldwin, in Reminiscent Mood, Tells of Card Turns at Vir- ginia City That Involved Fortunes.


 Los Angeles. July 25.-'I see the report the death of Hamll- ton Baker in New Orleans said Lucky" Baldwin, as he sat beneath the shade of an orange tree at his Thirty years ago Ham. Baker was the greatest faro dealer alive. At one time he had seven of the greatest gam bling houses of America bidding for his services at salaries ranging from S2, 900 to s4,500 a month. John Nor issey got him for four summers at the Saratoga Club for s20 900, and he was required to deal faro only six nights a week from g o'clock at night until l o'clock in the morning.
 But the time I knew Ham. Baker best was in Virginia City, where for nine months in the year for six years he was dealer in the greatest faro games in the world. I believe his salary was s150 a night, and he had 15 per cent of the profits of the house His salary and share of the profits aggregated about s70,00G a year.
 But be died poor. He was in railroad wreck in Colorado in the sos and the injuries he received then un fitted him for expert faro dealing by causing creeping paralysis of his righ side.

Crop Bulletin.
Corn and Cotton Crops Are Very
Much Improved.

bulletin has been issued:
"The week ending n. m,
Monday, May 25, had a mean
temperature of 70 degrees, which
is 5 degrees above normal, make
ing this the hottest week of the
year, as well as the first, since the
crop season began, that was warm
er than the normal. There was a
gradual increase in warmth from
the beginning to the end of the
week, at which time temperatures
above 80 degrees we're observed
over the entire State. The sun
shine was largely in excess of the
usual, and averaged about 80 de-
gress of the possible. The winds
were light westerly to southerly.
The warmer weather was favora-
bic to crops and has given corn
and cotton Il healthier look and
started rapid growth wherever
the ground contains enough mois-
ture. The conditions were also
favorable for the rapid progress
of farm work.
"The weeks rainfall consisted
of generally light, scattered
showers, that fell on the 21st and
23rd. Portions of Hampton
county had excessive precipitation
while the north central and west
ern counties bad none. Light
hail fell in Kershaw. The need
Of rain is felt over the whole

sections the lands have become

Gently planted corn and cotton
cannot come up until it rains;
and that ali crops are suffering for
want of moisture, with a conse-
quent falling off in conditions, and
that growth is at standstill.

came up poorly, with much re
planting still being done, whole
fields being, in some instances,
plowed up and planted over.
Chopping is general, and in few
localities nearly finished. Fields
are clean, as rule, except in
Beaufort county. Sea island cot
ton has improved in condition,
stand and color, but all cotton is
small for the season.
"The condition of corn is war;
liable, but with general improve
ment during the past week, due
to the more favorable weather.
Worms continue to destroy stands
of young corn. All corn is small
for the season. There is still
much to plant in the rorth central
and western counties. Fields are
well cultivated and clean.
