A Professor of tit Art of Legerdemain Knllifliteua a Whole Tstwn, at Fifty Cents m Ilrud, on the Difficult and E saTMl I mf Snl.Jert of Cooking. NoImmIjt h;il ever heard of the celo bniteil Iloko KXTemli, but the puVlic curiohity to nee hiiu was no less keen on that account, in the little western Illi nois town on which he had alighted like a flaming meteor the visit of a professor of magic was an event. All that was known of him was tVit he had made liia apiwurance about the time the stage coach from Shackbville came in, and was supposed to have traveled in that conveyance: that he had procured the printing of several hundred email bills at the cilice of The Ulizzard, promisiu to pay for them the next day. The evening came. The price of ad mission to the entertainment was fifty cents for adults, children half price. The celebrated Iloko Eifendi was his own doorkeeper, and the people of Spike- town turned out in large numbers. There were no deadheads except the editor of The Blizzard and the dignified citizen who wore dyed whiskers and a plug hat and announced himself at the door as the maj or. When the audience began to show im patience by the customary stamping and whistling the world renowned master of Egyptian magic accepted the proffered services of a leading citizen as door keeper, and went back to the other end of the hall, disappearing behind the cur tain that hid the stage from view. In a few moments ho reappeared in front of it and made a pleasing little speech, requesting close attention to the performances, as many of them were of a nature bordering on the supernatural, anil promising an entertainment such as had never been seen in Spiketown be fore and never would again. After performing some curious tricks with playing cards he announced that the first reall' diilicult feat of the even ing would now be shown that of baking a cake without a pan of any kind. "The ladies in the audience," he said, "when they bake cakes are compelled to use butter, eggs, flour, sugar, fla voring extract, icing, etc., and put the dough in a hot oven. I do nothing of the kind. Jy tho simple manipulation of flour, sirup and a hat I can produce a cake in live minutes that no lady in this house can equal. I will make a cake that a committee, to be selected from the ladies present, will pronounce the best they ever tasted. I will do this or forfeit $100. Will some kind gentle man present oblige me with the loan of a high silk hat? Will you kindly lend it to me? I will take excellent care of it and return it in a few minutes." The mayor demurred. "Your hat will not be injured in the least, sir," the magician assured him. "1 will return it to- you without spot, blemish or stain. I have performed this feat thousands of times without the slightest injury to the hat." The mayor of Spiketown, thus ap pealed to, relented and handed over his cherished tile. Then the magician produced a pan of flour, which was passed through the audience and unanimously declared to be genuine. He poured it into the hat. Then a quart measure half filled with New Orleans molasses was produced and handed around in like manner, pro nounced the pure, unadulterated stuff, and returned to him. lie poured this into the hat likewise and 6tirred the mixture with a long lead pencil. The mayor involuntarily gasped and half rose in his seat, but the wizard again as sured him, with a wave- of. the hand, "Your hat will not be injured in the least, my dear sir," and he proceeded with the performance. "Xow, ladies and gentlemen," he said, we will witness the finale, the denoo mong, as it were, of this unparalleled feat of illusion. I can bake the cake just as well on a piece of ice as on a stove; but as there happens to be a good fire in this stove near the stage 1 will bake it on top of that. Again, I assure you, Mr. Mayor, that your hat wall not suffer the slightest injury.' Stepping briskly down, he placed the hat on the stove. "Now, good people," he said, "keep your eye on that hat till you can count sixty. I will retire and prepare the esoteric climax. lie mounted the stage and stepped be hind the curtain. In a moment 'a smoke went up from the hat on the stove, and the odor of something scorching filled the air. The mayor of Spiketown jumped from his seat, and with one bound cleared the distance that lay between him and the stove. He lifted his precious hat. The bottom, or rather the top, fell out. The sizzmg batter spread out over the stove. It hissed and sputtered and flew. And even as the mayor held up the hideous ruin of his once glorious hat and looked through it some of the yel lowish mixture trickled on his vest and ran in sad, discouraged, bilious looking streams down his trousers. His honor spoke a few words briefly, but emphatically through his hat and broke for the stage, followed by several of the leading citizens of Spiketown. Behind the curtain were several empty barrels and boxes. And the back window was up. Somewhere in this wide, wide world the wizard of the Orient is still wander ing about, happily unaware doubtless that a standing reward of fifty dolhirs and no questions asked is offered by the mayor of Spiketown. Ills., for informa tion that will lead to the arrest and con viction for the crimes of grand larceny, malicious injury and obtaining money under false pretenses, of one Hoko Ef endi, master of Egyptian magic and so called eighth wonder of the world. Chicago Tribune. lieatlnc Ills War Around the World. An American from Bonton has reached Paris on a voyage around th world, "personally conducted" by himself under entirely novel circumstances. Fli" avowed object is to complete the whole trip without the expenditure of any money whatever, and, according to his own htateinent, he has already crossed the ocean and visited England and Ger many In accordance with the conditions of his self imposed task, which also con tains the Htipulatiou that he must do no work on the voyage. Needless to say that our traveler's rather unusual methods do not meet with the approval of all the hotel keepers whom he honors with his custom, and in Berlin ho under went one month's imprisonment for fail ing to pay his bill. The only wonder is that this unusual kind of traveler does not sjiend most of his time in jail, but, needless to say, he is gifted with an unlimited supply of what may bo best described as "self confidence," and is a past master in the peculiarly American art of "bluffing." As he himself puts it, "If I can only make a man laugh I've got him!" and certainly there is a sublime assurance alxjut his system which must force a smile even from his victims. Our cir cumnavigator has, of course, not set himself any particular route for his voyage, as he is dependent on "free passes," and has to be content with what he can get in that direction. Thus, to reach Paris from Berlin as the railway companies declined to oblige him Mr. Cook traveled via Bremen and London. He is now hoping to reach the Riviera, but what his itinerary will be is a inattei of conjecture even to himself. Paris Cor. London Telegraph. Killed by a Skyrocket. An impromptu celebration that wat held in honor of the arrival of a delega tion of Turners from Freeport, Ills., was suddenly brought to a close by the al most instant killing of a man. A sky rocket, supposed to have been set off by a crowd of young boys, ienetrated his forehead, and part of the stick was broken off and left imbedded in his brain. As the procession reached the cornel of Blue Island avenue and Polk street Philip Knopp, who had been watching the parade from the sidewalk, was struck by a skyrocket. The man's head and face were covered with blood, and Officer Halle, calling assistance, carried him into a neighboring drugstore. Dr. Lahey was summoned, and Knopp was sent at once to the county hospital. On the way Dr. Lahey extracted part of the stick, eight inches in length and three- eighths of an inch square. It had en tered just above the right eye, and had gone through the brain until the end was blunted against the back of the kull. Knopp lived only a few moments. Chicago News Record. Cowboy Sailors Not Jast the Thing. Captain Hanson, of the new schoonei Spray, on her maiden voyage from the Suislaw river, in Oregon, had a lively experience with cowboy sailors. With six of this new variety the captain put to 6ea. Hardly had he got outside when a strong southeast gale came up. The schooner rolled fearfully and the cow boys became terribly sick and lay in a heap in the forecastle perfectly helpless. The captain and his mate succeeded in lowering the foresail, and with the main cail and jibs set the schooner was driven before the gale at a terrific rate. Sev eral seas were shipped and one of the cowboys was washed against the lumber on deck, breaking his leg. When the weather moderated the captain put into Port Townsend. where the injured cow oy sailor was sent to the Marine hos pital. Two sailors were engaged an the schooner made the trip down in twelve days. The five cowboy sailors nave decided not to go to sea any more San Francisco Cliromcle. Big Bills for Witnesses. Dr. G. De F. Smith has filed a claim against the city for $ 300 for services as an expert witness for the people in tht trial of Carlyle W. Harris, the medica- student, for the murder of his wife Helen Wilson Potts Harris. Professor Witthaus, the chemical ex pert; who made the analysis of the con tents of the dead woman's stomach, has filed with the district attorney a bill 61 $5,000 for that service. Dr. Allan McLane Hamilton, anothei expert witness in the case, has collected a bill of $1,500 for his services, and other hills from expert witnesses have been filed which bring the total cost of the expert testimony for the people up to $9,000. The bills of the medical experts who testified in the trial of E. M. Field ag gregate $4,000, and none of them has yet been paid. New York Evening Sun, A Queer Story of Two Apple Trees. About sixty-four years ago Thomas Carr, living near Medora, in Jackson county, set out an apple orchard on his farm, about one-half mile southwest of Middleville, and having two apple trees left he gave them to his sons, John F. and G. W. The boys set these trees out along the fence, near the orchard, and they both grew well. John was the first to die, and on the day he died hi i tree fell. G. W. lived to be an old man, became known as a colonel, was chairman of the convention that framed the present constitution of Indiana and died only a few daj-s ago at Crawfords ville. It is a coincidence that his tree also fell on the same day he died. Cor. Indianapolis Journal. Food for Hot Weather. The foods that are converted into heat that is, keep up the heat of the bodv are starches, sugar, and fat ; and those that more particularly nourish the ner vous and muscular system are the albu men and salts. The largest proportion of summer food should consist of green vegetables, cooked or as salads : white or lean meats, such as chicken, game. rabbits, venison, fash, and fruits. Dr. N. E. Yorke Da vies in Popular Science Monthly. English and American Land Owners. There is a constant fend between th suburban residents and tho Sunday e.v cureionists. The suburban resident goes to New York In tho morning and goe back in the afternoon, except on Sun day, when he ntay at homo. It would Buit him if the Sunday train norvice were almost entirely stopped, except one morning train out into the country and one evening train back to let his per sonal friends go out and spend tho day with him. The Sunday excursionist represent! to him a concentration of the destructive forces of mankind, bo ho goes to Tuxedo or Wave Crest or some reservation where excursionists are not permitted to go, and when he gets rich enough he builds a place in the midst of grounds wide enough to hide hiin from the road, and puts out watch men to prevent people he does not want from coming in and tramping on the grass. This is more an American than an English feeling. In England almost all of the show country places are open to visitors under r?strictions which are generally observed. It would be re garded as an improper and unsocial thing for an Englishman with a fine country place to drive people off the grounds. Instead of that he welcomes visitors and provides guides to take them around and look after them. New York Sun. Big Prices for Old Toys. Old toys so very seldom survive the rough work which their possessors give them that if by any chance they do weather the storm they become extremely valuable. A collection of old playthings, many of which belonged to royal chil dren, has just been sold at the Hotel Drouot, and some of the articles fetched prices which even their artistic merit and their strange survival of the vicissi tudes would hardly have seemed to merit. For instance, a little doll, rather less than a foot high, but clad in a pan oply of steel, "armed at all points ex actly cap-a-pie." but perfectly modeled, and made at the time when Louis XIII sat on the throne of France, sold for G15 francs; and even this price was eclipsed by that given for a tiny set of carriages carved in wood and accompanied by little wooden soldiers, made not consnlo plauco, but when Napoleon was first consul, which brought in neary 1,000 francs. A miniature kitchen, interest ing as being an exact model of that use ful houshold apartment, tempo Louis XVI, and a little jointed doll, sixteen inches high, dressed in a broche silk Watteau dress, fetched 3-10 francs and 110 francs respectively. Many other toys belonging to bygone epochs sold at almost fancy prices. Galignani Mes senger. Rat Exterminators. An old trapper has been bringing from the mountains for two weeks a number of peculiar little animals that have puz zled a good many people to tell what they were. They are about the size of a common cat and have large bushy tails like that of the raccoon. Their bodies are long and slender nnd well protected with a thick growth of brown ish colored hair. Their eyes are black and snapping and when teased they growl and spit like a cat, showing a row of teeth as sharp as cambric needles. The name of these little animals is the Bassiris, and they are a species of the civit cat, ranking between the fox and the weasel. They are better than all the pussies in creation as rat exterminators, and about twenty of them have been turned loose in different warehouses and livery stables in this city. San Francis co Call. Racing on Wooden Legs. A race on wooden legs from Bordeaux to Biarritz and back, a distance of 303 miles, was begun yesterday. Eighty one stilt runners entered for this race left the Hotel de la Gironde at 8 o'clock yesterday morning, being "played off" by a brass band. They were accom panied by a party of bicyclists, whose duty was to see that fair play was ob served. Among the racers was the Arcachon baker, Silvain Dornon, who traveled on stilts, or claimed to have done so, from Paris to Moscow. A quarter of an hour after the stilt racers had set out from Bordeaux a party of eighteen women and young girls, also mounted on stilts, left Bor deaux for Cerans, having undertaken to run there and back, a distance of fifty miles, in the day. London News. Hydrophobia and the Dog Catchers. A great deal of rot about hydrophobia is being printed in the newspapers just now. It is done, we suppose, in order not so much to scare neoole into havinsr - o their pet dogs licensed and muzzled as to give the dog catchers the sort of moral sumoort thev certainlv need in th pursuit of their infamous business. So yarns about man aogs and their depre dations are invented and published, a great many sensitive people are terror- izea ana the aog catcher drives a profit able trade. There is no truth in these blood curdling tales. There has not been a case of hvdronhobia in Chimin this year, and it is a Question whethe there actually ever has been any. Chi cago News. Renewing Old Straw Hats. "Don't throw awav vour straw hat because it is discolored by rain," said a hatter this morning. "Scrub it with wet cornmeal, and then hang it up for a rew minutes in 6ulphur smoke. It will come out as white as a brand new one.'' Cincinnati Times-Star.
