She stated that she aud Prichard had
hEd 0 difficulty some two weeks since.
and that he had left her and gone to
reside with biz mother near Cal

Special to the Cincinnati Commercial
WAsH1NGToN, November 26.--It is
quietly whispered here that Anthony
gomstock is preparing a petition to
Postmaster General Key, Of a some
what novel character. The petition
prays that General Key issue an order
prohibiting the circulation through
the mails Of several newspapers, in
GLIDING the Cincinnati Commercial and
Enquirer, Chicago Times, New York
World and Courier. journal. The
ground upon which this extraordinary
prayer is based is said to be that these
papers publish lottery advertisements.
and must be kept out of the mails
when containing such advertisements.
Lottery men will be pleased with this.
as they desire that the whole effort to
keep lotteries out Of the mails be made
ridiculous, and they believe that Com
