The story of the
POLICY TICKETS

form Of gambling IN the Iotttry to-day, almost
all the v,ctima Of that concern having discover
oil the hOlIOwness and humbug of the printed
tickets. That these tickets pre more disastrous

There Is no need to dwell on this melancholy
picture: Their is hardly person In the city Of
Now Orleans but has Witnessed the deetpri0us
tfects of this, the very worst sort of gambling
known.
Of course 1t Is impossible to Say
now MANY OF THESE POLICY TICKETS ARE SOLD
every dav. The lottery did whisper n one time
that they took In from $4,000 to $1,000 n day
It IL, probably supertiuous to say that of
the thousands OF persons ulaVing policy not

1t i notorious fact over the whole Union
that the Louisiana Lottery. pays the smallest
prizes on policy tickets OF any lottery In the
world. A policy ticket that Ia Louisiana wins
100 lines the amount bet would win in Austria
24O times; In Bavaria 270 times; In Italy 4OJ
times.
The other day small lottery dealer set up |
lottery here where he offered prizes 100 per cent
greater than those given by Howard. and How

stand com petitiOn In the lottery business.
Wherever policy Is played in this country the !
amount Of prizes won are from y to 800 per cent
greater than those paid by the Louisiana Lot |
terry Company. 1t is this fact that makes the |
monopoly character Of the i ,usiauR Lottery 50 |
