We notice by the way that this new Mahdi-for the Professor was undoubtedly n false prophet in the lottery business--has killed another won at Shanghai. This time the victira is not to be murdered in the Australian buah, like the Doctor hure, nor to be stabbel in & Mexican inn, like the

'Mm Baldwin next explained that some gentleman had asked when he would be worth $1,000 She replied that he would nover be worth that amount, but on the contrary he would die on or before the 17th of next December. No one could be found who had put the question, but the Professor would stake his life that the question had been put, and that the person who wrote it, or thought of it, "would pass in his cheynes before the date mentioned.""
At the same entertainment the Professor had a Bing atto use the quoted words in the reports--eds of those iring newspapers nt Hongkong. He carried his animosity against the unfortunate journal so far as to barn it before the audience with something that left a smell like brimatune.
