POKER ON THE PACIFIC.
Bonanza Kings ar.d Their Heavy Playing

Chicago Herald.
Manager Hayman, of the Baldwin and
California theatre, who has been in town
for several days, tells of a poker gsme now
going on in Ban Francisco, the likes cf
which was never before heard of at the
Golden Gale. Every afternoon a half
dozen or more jolly old boys, each with a
handsome bank account, assemble in a
club room at the Palace Hotel, Lucky
Baldwin, when In town.sometimts takes a
hand. Sharon, of Sarah Althea fame, is one
of tbe coterie. General Barnes sometimes
drops in. Schmledell, the rich broker;
Dr. Bowie Fillmore, of tbe Central Paclfio,
and a lot of others are al;o members of tbe
new club. The aim is to play poker like
'gentlemen.” Eight ot the jolly oid boys
usually sit down together. They have no
chips, and nothing less than af5blUpasais
current. The ante ia 35, and it is a jack
pot game exclusively. Say there are eight
players; the play begios with 3X0 In the
pot. Nothing less than a pair of jacks
can open the pot. Frequently there Is 3120
or more in the pot before anybody can
open it. If anybody holds anything bet
ter than a single pair it is lncnmbent
npon him to raise the pot—he mnst do it
or pass ont. Blinds, straddles and raises

A turtle farm.
A Florida Sheriff'e Scheme for Supplying
tho Market With Cieen Turtles.
Jacksonville Tlmes-Uoloa.
Mr. H. T. Ailing, who has recently been
appointed deputy sherifi of Duval county,
hu traveled extensively all over tbe United
Statu and South Florida and Is a close
observer. Hearing that be bad given tho
question of turtle farming a great deal of
attention, a reporter of the Times-Unlon
called on him yesterday afternoon for hla
views on the subject for tbe benefit and
ehllgbtenment of the public generally,
“Wbatls your opinion of tirtle farm
ing?” uked tbe reporter of Mr. Ailing.

"Well, e’even-twelfths of the supply of
green turtle thst go Into tbe New York
market come from tbe waters of South
Florida and the West Indies. This sup
ply Is annually decreasing about 10 per
cent. This fact will Insure future prices
being at least as high u they are now.
One female green turtle, welghiog from
300 to 400 pounds, will lay from font to
eight times daring the season, and from
100 to 250 eggs each time. Say she lays
four times, which is less than tbe aver
age, and 100 eggs each time, which
Is also below tbe average, her
seison's laying Will amount to
400 eggs. Of tbeie 400 eggs when layed
and hatched, under ordinary circum
stances, not more than two or three, In all
probab lity will ever come to maturity.
This great watte is due to tbe enemies of
the turtle. Tbe eggs are laid la the sand,
the young turtles when hatched being
about r e size of a silver dollar and tbelr
shells cartilaginous. They meet at tbe
edge -: the water a small aperies of shark
and g. rat numbers of baraenda and a great
majority of them aro devoured before
tbey can get into deep water. If these
young turtles could bo protected from
tbelr natural enemies and at the
same time kept within control, there Is no
reason why turtle farming, or the raising
ot turtles, should not be wonderfully re
munerative. This could be accomplished,
I think, by stretching across the mouth of

cat’s tail, some dried blood of a blackcock,
taken from the neck before tbe foul was
dead, numerous roots, herbs, dried lizz&rds
and other uncanny things, used to "trick"

Ooe day Bob, in a spirit of recklessness,
offended the old man deeply. ' Nebber

Ebber let me git er han’ful er dirt fr’m un

Shortly alter Bob was tramping along one

little a dark arm was thrust un
der his foot just ns he brought it down,
and from behind the trunk of a great tree
that stood by the path he heard a low
cbnckle, and then the retreating footsteps
of a man. Ills knee was slightly sprained,
no doabt, bat he attributed the pain to
bambo’a conjuring. He turned and hob

he said he could feel lizardr running np

Sambo was highly elated at the success
of his trick, and was held in greater re

To get relief Bob had recourse to an
other conjurer ot great repute. O.d Minao
was of one of the tribes of negroes who
lived farther inland, and who are reported
by Livingstone as superior physically,
mentally and morally to the tribes nearer
the coast. He despised the Guinea and
Argola negroes, a few of each being scat
tered about that section of country.

'Jack" and the BAttJiog of the medicine,
he seemed satisfied as to who was the
conjurer that had tricked Bob, and in what
