AnuIexal Lottery.

To the Editor OF the Courler-J0urnal.
In reference to an advertisement in your
paper OF May 81, 1883, published at the in
stigation of a rival lottery company, and for
the purpose Of taking the advertisement and
republlshing in the various newspapers
detriment OF the Commonwealth Distribution
Company, Justice and fair play compel the un-
dersigned to write few facts in regard to the
matter. No company but the Louisiana Lot
terry Company would be mean enough to pub
lish such an article against another
company. The Louisiana Lottery Company
did few years ago make determined
button Company in Louisville, KY, but failed.
Seeing that II. NJ. Boardman, of the Common
wealth Distribution Company, by his push,
honesty and enterprise is building up n bust
ness equal TO their own, they are again seek
ing to ruin his company. VIII such under
handed proceedings do them any good or tue
Commonwealth Distribution Company any
harm? No The Louisiana Lottery Com
pany, owning tho State OF Louisiana, now
desire TO own Kentucky and the whole world.
1t comes with bad gace, this persecution here,
when 1t is well known tho Louisiana Com.
pany have an agent right here in Louis.
VILE, selling tickets openly in defiance OF law.
They want the Commonwealth Company to
quit, so they can have all the business. Is
not the Louisiana company Illegal in its own
State? Let the reader ask for the great Louis
lana Congressman's lRobertsonl speech before
the last Congress. He states truthfully and
boldly that II is illegal; their charter has been
repealed, and the Legislature has never re-
established 1t. Now, as 10 Its fairness, they
have two ex.rebei Generals who say to the best
of their knowledge their drawings are fair.
They place, so they say, 100000 numbers in
tubes and put them IN the wheel, when, In
fact, two persons could not wrap, count and
place In the tubes 100000 numbers In two
months. Tho only fair way q drawing can be
had is TO allow any ticket-holder the right TO
call for his number and see 1t placed In the
wheel. The Louisiana company will not and
dare not do this. It's the old story OF the pot
calling the kettle black. II.

In n short time, and as she was unable to sup
port the infant she desired to place 1t in the
hands OF the police. In such case an inves-
tigation VIII nearly always show that scheme
was concocted between the two women TO get
rid OF the trouble OF caring for their children
