We are sorry to see that our enterprisine
contemporary, the Philadelphia Times, is moi
up In lottery matters. We notice with pair
that it mistakes the "washerwomans gig," in
Charlie Towards lottery, for the 'chaplain's
gig" The washermoman's gig is classical
and we are astonshed that live newspaper,
having Intelligent correspondents in this city
could make what might be term such an an
achronism 4-t1-44 is synonymous, as all
our housewives know, to Is cents less at
least on the market money each morning.
Why it is called the washerwoman's gig
Is problem which we will not under.
take to fathom; though-and we say it diff
dently-that gig might account for many
O missing shirt, and we blushngly add, per-
hapss, q chemise or two. Nevertheless we
think that the proper name for that gig is
"the Cooks gig" The cook has SO many ad-
vantages over the washerwoman. Tho cook
Is free and untrammeled. She goes to mar
ket with her basket in one hand and the
daily budget OF the Aouse In the other. When
she comes back who can question her
Who can verify, the lies that she can put up
every morning! Who can detect the ticket in
her stocking which represents at least three
pounds of beefsteak? We leave it with the
sharpest and most acute Of housekeepers It
is an impossibility, and none of them will
Times publishes the following extraordinary
paragraph:
"'4-11-44' Is the gig on which many
negro policy-players generally stake their
money. Some one dreamed one night that 1t
was the prize number and so it turned out to
be. In Paris just now the particular number
In demand In the Exhibition lottery Is '148'
Why2 does some one ask. Simply because
14S was the number of the cab In which the
chaplain Of the prison of La Roquette fol-
lowed the decapitated corpses OF Barre and
LebieZ, who were executed recently. Oddly
enough, 14S was likewise the number of the
cab used by the chaplain at the execution i'm
mediateiy preceding this one. Therefore, say
the lottery gamblers, las is sure to win the
big prize in the lottery"
We have convicted that paper of grave
error as to what It Is pleased to infer as being
the s'Chaplain's gig"
AS concerns the lottery superstition in
Paris, we must admit that we are not posted.
We can say this, however, about No. 148:
We know positively that car-driver on the
Rampant and Dauphine street line Of cars
(who asks us to suppress his name) has
dreamt seventeen times OF No. 14S, and in
vested as many dollars, to the detriment Of
his family, In the monthly drawing of How
ards lottery, and he has always come out
second best. Now, In Paris the thing may be
different, particularly during the Exposition
and 14s may be good there, but here 1t won't
work. In q few days we will publish another
chapter Of our dream-book, when our Egypt
Ian sorceress will have got over her relapse
from yellow fever, and we advise our friends
not to take any tickets In the lottery until

Ben Wade.

Benjamin Franklin Wade was born at
Springfield, Mass, in October, 1900.
His father was 8 soldier of the Revolu-
tionary army, and in poor circumstances.
Benjamin received a very limited educa-
ton, and in his youth was employed in
digging the Erie canal. Removing to
Jefferson, Ohio, in 1921, he taught scho /
for period and then studied law. He
was admitted to the bar in 1926, and
seven years later was made Prosecuting
Attorney for Ashtabula county. Two
years thereafter he was elected State
Senator, and in 1847 he rose to the pre-
siding Judgeship of the Third Judicial
District. In 1851 he was sent to the
United States Senate, where he served
three full terms, rising in 1857 to the
Acting Vice Presidency. In the earlier
part OF his national career he
was the leader of the anti-slavery
wing Of the Wing party, and became
equally powerful in the Republican
organization. He advocated the Home
stead bill, the repeal of the Fugitive
Slave law, and the abolition of slavery
in the District of Columbia. He bitterly
opposed the Nebraska bill of 1854, the
Lecomption constitution for Kansas in
1858 and the proposed purchase of Gu
ba. Naturally enough, his attitude on
the question Of demonstrating the
Southern States was exceedingly radical.
After his retirement from the Senate he
served on the commission sent by Presi-
dent Grant to report upon the practice
bility OF the annexation of San Domin-
go, and afterward as one of the Govern
nent Directors Of the Union Pacific rail
way, Of which corporation he became at
torney. He participated prominently in
the convention which nominated r. B.
Hayes for the Presidency, at which time,
it is believed, he SO disordered his sys-
tenn as to cause his heightened illness
and death. Chicago Times.

Magnitude Of the Dairy Interest.

In an address before the Western Re
serve Dairy Association, by Mr.. Sher-
man Tracy, some statistics are given,
showing the amount of capital invested
in the dairy business in the United
States, which are rather startling ex-
hibit to those who have never given the
subject thought In the year 1875
there were 10,000,000 COWS used for
dairy purposes, which, valued at $45
per head, would represent capital Of
$3.50, 100000. IF 1t requires three acres
of land to support each COW, then there
must be 10000, 600 acres devoted to this
interest, which, at low average cost Of
$50 an acre, represents capital Of
$500, 100000. Adding to this the CAPT
tai invested in teams, wagons and dairy
implements, say 800, 100000, the total
investments would be ST. ,450, 900, 900 for
this single industry. Compared with
the banking capital of the country,
as reported for 1877 by the Comptroller
OF the Currency, the aggregate capital OF
the national banks exceeds by $50, 600, coo
only the single item OF COWS; and the
capital invested In banks, other than
national banks, is but rs per cent. of
the investment by dairymen III lands.
Adding to the amount invested In bank
ing the amount of all individual deposits
in all the banks of the country, other
than savings banks, the amount of bank
ing capital and deposits is 81, $50. 1884,
$50, or less than 20 per cent. greater
than that invested in the dairy business.
