A NOTED LOTTERY MAN DEAD.
The Career of Charles It. Howard, she
Organizer OF the Louisiana State Lot
terry.
Philadelphia Times


The death of Charles T. Howard, of
New Orleans, the largest slockholder
in the louisiana Lottery Company,
occurred ON Sunday at his country
seat. d Jbbs' Ferry, New York. While
out riding on Wednesday he was
thrown from his horse, receiving in
iuries from which he never rallied.
Howard was born in this city about
1880 and after some sen oolng in q
local institution drifted South, and
after various attempts to gam lveh-
hood took up the occupation of lot
terry and policy dealer. In 1866 he
was com usissioned by the Kentucky
lottery firm of @. H. Murry 81 Co. to
apply to the Louisiana Legislature
for charter for company in that
state. There was for two years much
opposition manifested against grant
ing the charter, bat he finally obtain
ed the charter by means of bribery,
the entire stock of $1,000, 600 having
been given away in corrupting the
Legislature.
The Louisiana Lottery Company
was formally organized on August 26,
1868, with Howard as president and
his partners as directors Popular
feeling was against Howard as presi-
dent and his name was Withdrawn.
Then the name OF M. a. Dauphin was
placed on the bills and circulars as
head of the concern. DAupmn was,
however, only a clerk Howard's
income from the latter company
enabled him to accumulate an i'm
mense fortune, which is estimated to
be about SO 600, 600. The sharp mana
cement of Howard frequently saved
the louisiana Lottery Company from
wreck. When the trouble occurred
under Postmaster General Gresham
regarding the carrying of the lottery
matter in the United States mails he
engineered the company through aud
checked the threatened interference.
Howard suffered many social re-
Bluffs. He tried to gain admittance to
the Jockey Club, which owned the
once famous Motairie race course at
New Orleans, but his disreputable
business caused a majority of the
members to black ball hun. He swore
that he would turn the course into a
cemetery and constructed rival
race track. He ruined the Metalrie
Club and purchased their land. In
short time he turned it into bur
ial ground. He was also black -balled
as a candidate for the La Varieties
Club Ia New Orleans he aspired to
be the leader of society, but was con
tinually foiled, the old creole families
refusing to receive him.

A house in Schenectady, N. Y, was
for long tine infested by reaches
and water-bugs. Last fall a servant,
hearing that toads were an antidote,
caught three ordinary hop teads and
put them in the kitchen. Not a roach
or water bug can now be found in
the house. The toads have become
domesticated. never wander about the
house, and are so clearly and inoffen-
sive that there is 70 objection to their
presence.

Though the laws of propriety are
so vigorously strict thai a gentleman
may not ride in the same carriage
with the lady to whom he is bertothed
yet most desperate frtations are
openly INDUCED in to an extent which
would put to blush New York, Chicago
or San Francisco. Following a
senorite up and down the promenade
and staring intently in her face is en-
accepted mode of compliment-doubt-
less gratifying to the recipient, but
fraught with danger TO the adorer if
she happens to have other devoted
swains-and it not infrequently hap-
pens that duels are the result, she

California and Oregon are liable to
occasional ravages of three species of
locusts, the most dangerous of which
is the great Rocky Mountain locust,
whose ravages several years ago came
near starving out the people Of two
or three Western states. This locust
is remarkable for its power Of flight,
and travels in dense swarms high up
in the air, darkening the sun or illing
the sky with the glistening light Of
their wings Observers have stood on
the highest peaks of tho Rocky Noun
talns, and, straining their eyes up
ward, have seen the sky filed with
clouds of these tiny, soaring insects,
so high as to be barely discernlble.
These insects, after devastating one
region. rise into the air to look for
fresh fields and pastures new.

The discouragements against rlatri-
mony in England are being freely and
fully discussed in the London papers.
A recent lady writer in the Times
contends that one argument against
the husband and wife commencing
life under the happiest auspices is due
TO the income tax which Parliament
imposes on all the citizens who earn
$3.50 a year, or more than that sum.
A man or woman may earn 5000 or
800 a year and no tax is imposed /;
But let clerk with $500 per annum
marry milliner with $3.50, and down
comes the revenue officer and collects
SIS q year so long as they continue TO
work. This literally makes a tax on
marriage, and consequently a dis
couragement that should be abated.
