The number OF people who are suffering from
eatarrh, consumption, or some form OF bron-

by which simple affection of the nasal pas

woman. Drs. Starkey & PaIen, No. 1929 Arch

this character by prompt application of their

which promptly sets in astonishes the most

they believe his or her case can be benefited

called the good old times" and are regarded
rs the best days of the Republic lotteries
hourished under Government sanction. During
the first half century of the United States eX-
istcnce rs nation, seventy-threo lottery grants
were licensed. over eighty-fye per cent Of the
funds OF which were devoted to public purposes
and benefits.
But times have changed. There IS a fashion
III lotteries, as IN everything else, and for awhile
at least lotteries have gone out Of fashion in
most States Of the Union though stock gam
bling lin which the amounts risked are greater.
and the chances for prizes are less than in aver
age lotteries, and in which there is less sys-
tenn than in even the widest lottery
scheme hourishes to q degree hitherto IN
known.
In fact, the only lottery scheme Of any mag
nitude now authorized in this country Is that
of the Louisiana State Lottery, which forms an
important part Of the revenue Of that State,
and the drawings Of which take place under
the supervision of two Of the leading men OF
the SOuth-6encrais Be3urcgard and Early
two gentlemen whose very names are guarau-
tees alike OF good management and good faith.
The Louisiana State Lottery has been jncOr-
poTated for some twenty years, with an oTigi-
nal pald-up capital OF sl,GJJi90, aud during It's
twenty years OfcXis.euCc iC has paid cut mill
lions Of dollars in prizes, and every prize once
drawn has been fully aud promptly cashed.
Many bankers and merchants have been
numbered among Tive lucky ones" but for

ing portion Of the population. Thus, at re-
cent drawing Of this lottery a combine Of
twenty-five car-drigers on the Lombard Street
Railroad, Philadelphia, drew and divided .
prize of $4,000 cash.
But with the single exception OF this L0uisi-

constituted so important and on the whole,

A Sad Occurrence.

On last Friday just before dinner
H. f. Worcester, station agent of the
M. G. r. r. complained of slight ill
ness and went to his room intending
to take some simple remedy. In the
bureau drawer were two bottles and
from the one containing carbolic
acid he took swallow. Mr.. Wor.
cester FASTENED to the drug store of
Geo. Lusk and explained what he had
done. DR.. Arnold and Mr.. Lusk
hastily administered an antidote. and
were preparing an emetic when the
sufferer went into convulsions, every
nerve seemed to be paralyzed. DR..
Hume arrived with a stomach pump
but Mr.. Worcester was beyond help.
In twenty minutes from the time he
took the poison he was dead. DR..
Perkins gave it as his opinion that
had assistance been at hand at the
moment the acid was swallowed
nothing could have saved him. Mrs.
Worcester, a cousin of the deceased
arrived from Detroit and later as.
Turner. of New York city, came to
take charge ofthe body. Mrs. Wcr-
cester ana two children were visiting
at Lowell, Mass, at the time of the
occurrence and it was to that place
the remains were sent. A brief SER
vice was held at the house Monday
and large delegation of business
men followed the casket to the train.
A pail was cast over the whole COM
munity by this sad accident. Mr..
Worcester was very popular and high
ly esteemed by all those who were
acquainted with him.
