 ITO be forewarned against physical, mental, moral or pecuniary ills is a good thing, in the opinion of most persons. and 1t is a wish to be forewarned which turns many persons to astrology.
 When I came to New York most of my clients were satisfied to have their horoscopes cast. Today many intelligent men and women are asking for instruc- ton in the elemental principles of astrol- ogy so partly to understand at least their relation to the stars.

GREAT PROPERTY DAMAGE
It Is Estimated That Eight Hundred Were Drowned and Loss of S12,000, ,000- United States Appealed to for Aid.

Laredo, Tex, Aug. 2S.-Word has reached here of one of the most dis astrous floods ever known in North ern Mexico. It was caused by the overflow of the Santa Catarina river and, according to rumors, many lives were lost. The financial damage is estimated at $10,000,000.
 For the lastd forty eight hours veritable deluge of rain has been falling which, together with the flow of water from the adjacent noun tains into the Santa Catarina river, so swelled the stream that it reached a width of a mile and a half and completely overflowed certain portions of the city of Monterey and wrecked houses, causing a great loss of life. Flood conditions extend as far south as Saltillo, althugh no great damage is reported south of Monterey.
 Photographic communication was par tially interrupted but it was learned tonight that no loss of life had been reported south of Monterey. Monte rey has 70,000 inhabitants and is To- cated 1S0 miles south of Laredo. 1t is situated between high mountains and is trayersed by the Santa cata- rina river. From a reliable source information was gleaned that the loss of life in Monterey is placed at from 100 to 300 persons. Until communi- cation is re-established it will be i'm possible to give accurate figures.

LEMONS ARE RIPE
 AND PICKING BEGINS
Citrus Fruits Ripen a Month Earlier
 Than Last Year.

Lemons, the first of the citrus fruits to ripen. are now ready for picking. The first picking began two days ago at the Ward grove-almOst a month before picking began last year.
 The. fruit has matured very early this year, perhaps on account of the fact that at almost all times there was enough water to be had for irrigation. Early lemons are always in great de- mand in the markets, and the price of s6 a box is obtained for them as against about s3 box later in the season.
 It is a good augury that the lemons have ripened early. It means that, in all probability, oranges will ripen at a proportionate early date. The first carload of oranges is usually shipped a day or so before Thanksgiving. though some weeks later by several weeks. It is the first few carloads that reach New York just as winter is coming on, and fruits of all kinds are scarce or not to be had at all, that bring the fancy prices. It is safe to say that carloads of the golden fruit will be in New York before the  first furry of snow arrives, and just about a month before the first carload of ripe California oranges reach there
 It is estimated by some that the yield of oranges this year will be about the same as last. This may be said to be the most conservative estimate ad- vanced, forslast year was not a banner year except in prices. There were not nearly so many carloads shipped as the previous year. but the prices ob- tained for the fruit were a distinct ad vance. The yield, however, at this period can be estimated only in a vague way from the small green fruit now on the trees. There will be more bearing trees in the valley this year than last, and that should increase the number of carloads to be shipped.

There is only one car avaiIables for that pur- pose so that four trips will have to be made to bring over the 200 convicts yet remaining in Yuma.
 A large number have already been brought to Florence from time to time since the beginning of construction tO work on the penitentiary. They were generally short term men, the terms of many having expired during the work of construction under the credit sys- tenn allowed them
 Contractor Gregg, who had charge of the construction, was in town yes terday. He said that though the pris- on is not yet complete. it is nearly enough so for the confinement of the prisoners. In fact, everything is com plete except the outer building. That has reached only a height of one story.

4 HARDENED FARM TEAM
 BREAKS THROUGH WINDOW
Mrs. Gosart's Narrow Escape from
 Serious Injury

A runaway in which Mrs. A. J. Co., sart miraculously escaped being trod- den to death under the feet of draft team. occurred at the Gosart Plumb ing company's office, 2S North Sec ond avenue. yesterday afternoon short ly before o'clock.
 Mrs. Gosart was reading in front of the window in the office, when the ac- cident happened. Distracted from her reading by the sudden clatter and rumble of a heavy wagon coming down street, she looked up in time to see the runaway team attached to an empty hay truck charging directly at her over the curbing. the pole of the wagon crashing through the plate window, throwing glass all over the room. Not until the wagon was caught in the casing did the runaways stop and commence a backward scrambling when regaining the street turning and running up an alley.
 The owners of the runaways could not be ascertained, no one being on the wagon when the accident happen ed. Neither was there help close at hand to offer any protection to Mrs. Gosart, although several witnessed the intrusion. from a distance down the street. From all appearances the rig had been left standing united.
 Save for the tearing out of the win dow, which is no small item, no ser ious damage was done. although d large lock of horse hair caught on a jagged edge of the broken window. tells of at least a scratch to one of the plunging horses.
 Mrs. Gosart seemed cool and collect ed a few moments after the accident and shortly went to her desk to as sume the days regular routine work. She stated: That it all happened be- fore I knew it. I heard the rumble, looked up and saw the chargers com ing without giving me a chance to welcome them. It was a case of think quick. and the first place I thought of was back of the desk. How l got there I don't know They made all awful noise. and~1 thought they would never stop"

\ CURIOUS BANKER
  CALLS ON HARTMAN
Mr. Schiff Wants to Know Just How
 Sick He Is.

Arden, N. Y, Aug. 2S.-Mr. Harri- man, notwithstanding the furry of yesterday, is not to undergo a sur gical operation at present. Aside from this decision, the most important in- cident of today was visit by Jacob H. Schiff. the New York banker, the first prominent figure in the financial world to see Mir. Hartman since his return from Europe. Schiff came ap- parently with the idea of ascertaining just how ill MT. Hartman is. When he left he said, MT. Hartman is better"
 Whether the decision not to operate was reached because his physical con- dition would make the operation un- wise, or whether no operation is nec- essary, must remain unanswered as long as the Hartman family retains its policy of rigid silence. But on it is learned that after con- sultation, the physicians reported to the family and to interests in Wall street most deeply concerned that it was best to let the patient make a full trial of the after cure"

FLOODS AWFUL TOLL.

Monterey, Mex, Aug. 2S-Elght hundred drowned, 1,500 homeless, and property damage of $12,000,000 is the result of a flood which struck this city this morning. Among the losses are the Monterey Steel com pany, s1,0O0.00O. and the Mexican Smefter and Lead company. s3,00O.000. The city begs aid of the United States.
 The scene in the flood swept section of Monterey tonight is one of utter desolation. Four city blocks on the south side have completely disap peared. For seventy-two hours the rain has fallen in unprecedented volume throughout this section, and the Santa Catarina rose gradually all day Friday, the rest of the flood reach ing Monterey early today At first it was thought there would be no loss of life, but the water reached a height never before attained and swept buildings from their foundations by the score. The electric light plant was put out of commission last night and complete darkness was added to the horror.
 The cries of the drowning were heard, but the OnIookers were power less to render aid When daylight came, the scene was indescribable. All through the flooded districts groups of men were seen huddled on the tops of two-story buildings en- tirely surrounded by a seething mass of water One by one these houses disappeared with their human freight. Nothing could live in the wild current, which was running at the rate of twenty miles an hour. The great steel plant of Monterey suffered a loss of nearly a million dollars, and the shelter of the Mexican Lead company is cut off from the city and sub merged It is estimated that the loss of this plant is over three millions.
