The Career of Charles T. Howard thu
Organizer of the Louisiana State Lot
tery
Philadelphia Times,

Philadelphia Times.
The death of Charles T. Howard, of
New Orleans, the largest stockholder
in the Louisiana Lottery Company,
occurred on Sunday at his country
seat, Dobbs' Ferry, New York. While
out riding on Wednesday he was
thrown from his horse, receiving in
juries from which he never rallied.
Howard was born in this city about
1880 and after some sen oollng IN a
local Institution drifted South, and
after various attempts to gain iveh
hood took up the occupation of lot
terry and policy dealer. In 1856 he
was commissioned by the Kentucky
lottery firm of @. Fl. Murry & Go. to
apply to the Louisiana Legislature
for a charter for a 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 81 900, 900 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dent and his name was withdrawn.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 NJ. A. Dauphin was
placed Ga the bills and circulars as
head of the concern. Dauphln was,
however, only a clerk. Towards
income from the latter company
tn 10
mense fortune, which is estimated to
be about So 600, 000 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 and
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 him. He swora
that be would turn the course into a
race track. He ruined the Metalrie
Club and purchased their land. In
a short time he turned it into a 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.
