mAsSACHUsETTs LOTTERIES.

MASSACHUSETTS LOTTERIES.
 The State of Massachusetts is noted for it's piety, its advanced thought, it's good laws etc. One of it's good laws contains the fol lowing: Whoever sets up or promotes a lot tery for money, or by way of lottery disposes of any property of value, real or personal or under the prete1t of sale, gift or deliv- cry of any other property, or of any right, privilege or thing whatever, disposes of or offers, or attempts to dispose of any real ol personal property, with an intent to make the disposal thereof dependent upon or con- nected with any chance by lot, dice, num- bers, game, hazard or other gambling device whereby such chance or device is made an additional inducemept to the disposal or sale of said property shall for each offense be punished by a fine not exceeding two thousand dollars.
 But notwithstanding this prohibition some of the inhabitants of Massachusetts do not hesitate to ''set up" and promote lotteries, and to make as much money out of them as they can. Conspicuous among the offenders against this law are some Grand Army posts and some workingmen's unions. A year ago members of the Grand Army of the Republic appealed to the legislature to have the law amended so ss to permit their charitable lotteries to be carried on without 'obstruc- tion. The legislature refused to amend the law and It's refusal was heartily approved. But this did not end the matter. Those who wanted to hold lotteries have held them and paid no attention to the law. And prepara tions have been made to hold during the lat ter part of this month lottery in the city of Lynn, and the prizes are announced as worth thousands of dollars.
 It seems little strange thst in such 8 moral State as Massachusetts such law as that against lotteries should be deliberately and openly broken. Perhaps it will not be much longer, for Governor Robinson's Cat tention has been called" to the fact that it is not respected as it should be, and he has called the attention of the law officers of the State to the violations of the statute. It will be interesting to see what the law officers will do now that they have been notified of what they already knew. The respectable newspapers of the State are calling upon them to act and it looks as if they would find it difficult to get along much further without doing something.

 CHAS. A. CABRERA, B Hawley Stseet, Boston, Mass, writes: ''One year ago I was apparently so far gone with Consumption that my life seemed only question of days rather than months. With my faith in the ability of physicians to help me all gone, I tried almost every known remedy, with no apparent benefit. Finally, as a last resort, I was induced to try Dr. R. c. Flowers Lung Cordial. The very first dose gave me relief, and with the first bottle took new lease of life, and can honestly say to-day that one spoont'd d of this remedy is worth more to the sufferer from Lung troubles than gallon of any other known remedy. A bottle of it is now one of my choicest possessions, and at the first sympton of a cough or cold fly to it for the relief it never fails to give.''
 DR. FLOWERS LUNG COR- DIAL is without question the most wonderful Lung remedy ever discovered. It eradicates the germ of CONSUMPTION as no remedy has ever been known to do. It stands without a rival for COUGHS, COLDS, BRON- CHITIS, ASTHMA and CON- SUMPTION.
 Price $1 per bottle. A copy of Dr. Flowers Rules for the Treatment of Consumption ac- companies each bottle.

An awkward silence followed and the in- fdel appeared to be momentarily em- barrassed. He then told a story about 8 Cornish miner, who, not believing in 6 God, sacrificed his life willingly to succor fifty of his comrades imprisoned in a mine The story was not pertinent to the secre- tary's remarks and in no sense an answer to the appeal. Ingersoll seemed to appreciate this, and he soon turned the conversation away from religious subjects.

Mrs. James Brown Potter, Who is
 Now Having Sensational Run
 In Washington.
 Washington Letter in St. Louis Globe Demo-
 crat.l
 Mrs. Whitney's reception of Thursday ev- ening was again 8 crush of splendid toilettes and distinguished people. Ms. James Brown Potter was the star of the evening and people craned their necks to see her and her gown as she posed in an armchair or lan- guidly promenaded. Mrs. Potter is the nearest to an asthetie of anything we have had here since Oscar Wilde and her ''utter'' costumes are the puzzle of the gossips. I heard seven women, all at once, trying to de- scribe the house dress that she wore at an afternoon reception and each description, when sorted out from the general tangle, was vaguer and further away from clear idea than the other. The other night she wore straight dress of cardinal satin, em- broidered with scattered flowers The low bodice was finished with 8 guimpe of white null and there was blue ribbon sash with long ends tied around her waist. She kept broad Roman scarf wound around her shoulders and when she posed in the chair she wound the scarf around the back of it, too, and in a manner reproduced the heroic scene of being lashed to 8 mast For the rest of the evening it was some cavaliers constant care to pick up the slipping and elu- sive scarf and adjust it to her shoulders Mrs. Potter is young and so pretty withal that she can afford these vagaries and stand their trial now. What few years will neces sitate is conjecture. When she reads to an audience of 200 at the amateur entertain ment in Mrs. Whitney's ball room, an even $500 was raised for the training school, every ticket being taken. Mrs. Whitney gave the use of her house and ball room, every one went in evening dress and it was mostly social affair, the hostess unexpectedly offer ing the audience an elaborate supper that probably cost more than the performance it. self had realized. Mrs. Potter has already this season made $30, 900 for the different charities for whose benefit she has acted, and it is now proposed that she should give performance for the professional actors who have not begun to find this such a success ful season as she has.

MT. Froude, the English historian, in an interview on the Irish question makes the following significant remarks: think grant ing home rule to Ireland is an experiment which we are exceedingly likely to make, but which is exceedingly likely to turn out very ill. At the same time, having regard to the weakness of parliament and to our system of parliamentary government, one can see that home rule is likely to be forced upon us. But it is an experiment which can lead to noth- ing but evil. The cause lies entirely in the constitution of the British government. If we had the American system, the demand would not be tolerated nor listened to for a moment. In America the executive admins tration is independent of Congress. Ours is now practically in the hands of a single democratic house. I don't believe that any government can be kept together for any long period if it be such as ours now is, and am convinced that we shall before long have in some way to assimilate our form of government to the American model.
