iNCiAN MAGIC.
A Trick that Ny>tined Lord Lytton
and One That Didn't Work.

The following story of Indian magic
was tod Ae by the person TO whom it
was told by the late Lord Lytton. I
give it in my own words for the eX-
cellent though humiliating reason that
have mislaid the manuscript.
When in India Lord I.yttOn often
sought out conjurers. but never saw
any but the usual feats such as the
mango tree trick and the basket trick.
The method in each case is known.
or At all events plausible eXpla nations
have been given by Mr. Maskelyne
and other experts. On one occasion
Lord l.ytton liked something in the
looks of the "onurer who was perform
ing in an open space before his house.
After the ordinary exhibition his lord
ship asked the magician if he could not
do something more out Of the common
way The man said he would fry and
asked for ring. which Lord I.ytton
gave him. He then requested an Off
Ger to take in either hand a handful Of
seeds One sort was sesame The

did not know Holding these seeds and

thumb the officer was to go to Il well
In the corner of the compound He
was to dispose of the seeds in a certain

done, and then the ma agician asked
Lord Lytton where he would ike the
ring TO reappear. He answered, In my

attached to his watch chain, or. at all
events, be had it with him on the spot
The dispatch box was brought out
Lord Lytton opened it. and there was
the ring.
This trick would he easy ( the Brit

An Example of Negro Government.

It seems that Uncle Sam, in his role of international policeman for the American continents, may soon have to take charge of affairs in Santo Domin- go. But if he does. it will not be as easy to let go afterward as it was in Cuba. Santo Domingo will be a piece of political sticky hy-paper.
 Santo Domingo, like all countries that have passed under negro domina- tion, suffers from increasing debt. deep rooted corruption among it's officials, endless internal disorders and stunted growth. It is but a degree better than Hayri. As one of the most intelligent Dominicans said the other day:
 We have no census, no surveys; no roads; no good ports no instruction, 95 per cent of our population being illit- crates; no farmers; no sailors; no pro- fessional men: no trained soldiers, but hundreds of colonels; no surplus, but

BETRAYED BY A WOMAN
H. [. Gordon Swears Gu: a Warrant
 for Her Arrest.

H. F. Gordon, a young man who has been in the city for the last three weeks, yesterday morning awoke Jus tice Burnett about three o'clock in the morning to inform him that he had been betrayed by a woman. Gordon and the woman, whose name is said to be Laura Kingsford, rented a house of D. w. Sparks on north Seventh av- enue, representing that they were man and wife. It transpiTe es though that they were not; that Gordon had picked the woman up at Tucson. It is sup posed that she is one of the many who left Fl Paso when the gambling houses were closed.
 They were accompanied by another man whom Gordon represented 10 te his friend but he has been recognized by the officers as the "dcctor" who with his supposed wife became en- tangled with young Bell of Los An geles year and a half ago. They were all arrested in connection with burglary which had been committed. but nothing could be proved against them.
 Most of the time since Gordon has been in the city he as been gambling,

and, it is said, with some success. On Thursday afternoon he took $500 hone with him and turned it over 10 the woman. He came down town again with his friend and resumed playing. In the course of the evening he spent a good deal of money fer champagne for himself and his friend. He became separated from his friend and return ing home found it deserted. The Sro- man had gone and taken with her all the belongings, as well as Gor3oa's money. Gordon went to the police and telegrams were sent to Maricopa and other southern points. Then Justice Burnett was aroused and Warran- for the arrest of the woman was sworn out but she has not yet been located. Neither has the friend of Gordon who is supposed to be the victim of a c9n- spiracy. Gordon, however. still pro fesses confidence in his friend and he even tries to excuse the woman on the ground that she must have had q sud- den stroke of insanity.
 Gordon got deeper into trouble yes terday. He had net paid MT. Sparks any rent and when the landlord called day before yesterday for it the woman told him to come back in an hour and the money would be there. He did so but found the woman gone and also learned that an expressInan had taken her things away. Mir.

He received a horse whipping and released his hold. He endeavored to procure a warrant for the arrest of MT. Sparks; but none would issue.
 Later through the administration of Justice Burnett the matter was adjust ed Gordon, who had succeeded in get ting money through members of a se- cret society to which he belongs, paid his rent and received his baggage.
