SHREWD SCHEMES OF LOTTERY MEN.
HOW THEY SUCCEED IN EvADISa THE LAW.


The law is supposed to be so strict In this STATE IN
tie probIbon of lotteries as to cut them off entirely
That s tho letter and spirit Of tho law. Its enforce
ment Is quite another thing. In q city paper not
long ago was printed long account OF how seVerai
persons in this city had won prizes at la'e drawing
of a Southern lottery What was striking IN TINS
matter was tho specific manner in which the name
OF the Ncw-Yorkcr who secured the cashlng OF the
tickets for the Fortunate holders was used ittie
inquiry gave convincing evidence that he was au'y
authorized agent Of the lottery in question and that
this was tho method he took Of finding moro purchas
ers Of tickets. An old police officer said to me Tho
law is very explicit about lotteries. 1t is criminal
offence 10 sell ticket to advertise lottery, or 10
conduct one It IS not q crime 10 participate In
drawing The law seems to regard the gambler as q
fool rather than knave. but takes 1t for granted
that only knaves conduct the lotteries The safcs

dodge TO let gamblers know where to go for tickets
IS the ono you have dropped onto. 1t is criminal

This talk was a reminder OF a story heard about
we'll known lawyer who Is dead. who was at
one time counsel for a Southern lottery. The state
and Federal laws about lotteries had become SO
stringent that tho lottery people could not get their
tickets printed. Printers everywhere were afraid 10

promised great remuneration. In despair tho lottery
managers presented the matter to the lawyer lie

SHERIDAN BELIEVED IN BEING AROUND
rom The Chicago Herald.

From The Chicago Herald.
Governor Lionel A. sheldon OF New Mexico, relates
the following story of Grant and Sheridan had been
member Of Congress for nearly six years." says the
Governor, "when, in June, 1874, Congress Hall, at
Cape May, was opened. General Grant, who was then
President, several members of his Cabinet and many
Senators and Representative myself among the num-
turned ON Sunday and arrived at Philadelphia to find
that we must wait three hours for the train that was
to carry TO Washington. The prospect was naturally
not an agreeable one, but Ii turned out quite the con-
trary. A number Of us were assembled In private
room. when the conversation, which was animated
and general, turned upon the war and military affairs.
Then Grant began TO talk and gradually warming TO
his subject he held the breathless attention OF the
others. His talk was not brilliant for IL never
possessed that quality but II was sensible and SOLID
lie reviewed hts campaigns minutely, pointing out
what he considered the salient points In each and gave
his opinion of the various officers OF prominence that
were engaged He spoke much more freely than he
has since spoken In his Memoirs, and he was As rank
as possible.
"When he camc to Sheridan, he said:
"'General Sheridan always where / expected
him 10 be at any designated time. lie accomplished
nc much or more than expected him 10 accomplish.
I tell YOU gentlemen, Philip Henry Sheridan Is the
sblest military man now living and IL this country
should become engaged in a war with any or several
of the great powers of Europe during my term as
President should give han command OF the armies
of the United States"
awhile was Governor Of New Mexico continued
Governor sheldon General Sheridan came out and
Maid our country there little visit told him what
Grant had said lie laughed and replied:
aswel when a fellow is expected to be around
anywhere, he ought to be tbore?'
