POKER ON THE PACIFIC. Bonanza Kings ar.d Their Heavy Playing at the Caul Table. 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 are unlimited, and beta are limited only to 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, from what I know o( green tur tle, ns they are found In certain portion! of Florida, 1 don't know of an}- other specu lation that will compare with It; 35 000 In vested in a turtle farm will, attbee>,dof five years, return the principal, together with the Interest, at not less thin -40 per cent, per annnm, cumpoanded. to ssy nothing of a suDaequent return, which will be equal annually to that of tbe filth year/’ “U| lions 1 "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.

Frequently the jack-pot Is up to 32,000 before the momentous event, and then it ia great eport to watch the jolly old boys study over the relative value of their hands. Sharon Is usually tho luckiest player ot the set, but he sometimes gets nipped. One afternoon they got a jack pot worked np to 34.000. 8naron drew to an ace and ten and got two other aces and another ten, giving him an ace foil. He bet tbe limit and got raised another thou sand. Then tbe jolly old boys laid down their bands face to the cloth, and Sharon bet two bottles ot champtgne that be would take the pot. The wine was brougnt and the j. o. b.’s knocked off tbe necks. Then two others saw Sha ron’s bet and stood tbe raise, but the rest ran. This made S10,- 000 io the pot. Then Sharon threw down bis cheek for $3,000 and said he'd go another thonsand.

You would then have, five years after your Investment, 20.000 marketable turtles A turtle four or five years old will bring more per pound than an older one.

Shortly alter Bob was tramping along one ittrfc iiiirht, when suddenly he stepi.»d into small pit with one foot, und as tie halted 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 bled homeward.

Old Sambo was highly elated at the success of his trick, and was held in greater re spect than ever. 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. Gulnny thief an’ ’Gulla docH he de scribed them.

Finally, by the movement of 'Jack" and the BAttJiog of the medicine, he seemed satisfied as to who was the conjurer that had tricked Bob, and in what mauner he had done it. He then instruct ed Bob how to act, and how to obtain three hairs from Bambo'a head without the latter finding out, gave himaconiaro bail to prevent further injury, and gravely dismissed him. 1 gresa Boo followed the advice of Mingo, for he soon got well.
