ONE OF HERMANN's TRICKS.
Magician Puzzled a Select Company
of 8ohenians.

VI oVuSN1ldtl9s
Not many months before his death
the magician was guest at the IA
nous but now defunct Whitechapel
club, the rendezvous of Chicago Bo-
hemians. On the night in question q
venerable Japanese priest was pres
ent. In the course of few tricks
Hermann picked up deck of cards
and asked some one to select a card.
The seven Of clubs was the card
drawn from the pack and it was
shown to the spectators, but not to
the magician. The card was replaced
in tae deck, which was shuffled and
hen handed to one of the spectators.
Look through the deck, please"
said Hermann.
The holder of the cards did as re-
quested.
rs the card that was drawn in the
pack?" asked the wizard.
mo, sir" answered the spectator.
What was the card?'
'The seven of clubs.''
"Wcll, gentlemen, if one of you will
kindly unlace the prelate's shoe, you
will find the card that has vanished
from the pack. q
After smiling protest the japanese
priest unlaced his shoe, and there,
to the amazement of all, was found
the seven spot OF clubs.

their doors.
He could see their figures moving
about, but. the clouds and fog made it
SO very dark that he could not tell
whether the figures were men or wo
men.
The house which he believed to be
Purcell's was entirely dark. aud he
was standing still, hesitating whether

BROKERS ARE SURPRISED
OFFICIALS AND MEMBERS OF
NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE
HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY.

lOFFICIALs AND MEMBERS OF
NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE
HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY
New York. August 1--officials and
members of the New York cotton ex-
change express surprise over the pc-
sition taken BY the New Orleans ex-
change in the matter OF market quota
tions. Some time ago the local insti-
tuition took aggressive action against
bucket shops by arranging with the tel
egraph companies which send out the
quotations from the floor that no tick
er should be installed in any office or
place without the sanction Of the ex-
change authorities. The telegraph
companies obligated themselves not 70
furnish quotations to any firm Or party
not first approved BY the cotton ex-
change. Contracts have been made or
renewed extensively on this basis and
no objections have been made any
where to sign the agreement to keep
the quotations from bucket shops. That
the southern exchange should feel ag-
grieyed has. therefore, created some
comment.
While some Of the local officials ex-
pressed the belief that the matter win
quickly adjust itself when better under
stood, it is stated on authority that, in
any event the New York exchange win
make no exceptions in its line Of ac-
ton regarding the signing OF contracts.
