President Harrison signed the
anti-lottery bill last Friday and it is
now law. This is interesting
information and it is to be
hoped that the provisions of the law
will be strictly enforced. If the
lottery companies or the willing
dupes of the swindlers persist in
violations of it the punishment
which the law provides should not
be slow in visiting them.

The Story of One of the Millionaire
Pork Packers Proteges.
InterOieto in Chicago Tribune.
81 don't know whether all the stories
printed about Phil Armour are true or not
But know of one that is true, because the
man told me himself.
"The man is colored porter on what is
known as the Congressional Limited be-
tween New York and Washing ton. He is
known as Gen. Forrest. He was body
servant to Gen. n. b. Forrest of confeder-
ate fame, and when the war ended the col
ored man went to New York and secured
the place of smokingcar porter on the Penn
sylvania line from Washington to Chicago.
One day Mr.. Armour was on his train and
wrote message which he instructed the
porter to drop into the next station. The
porter did this and soon afterward Mr..
Armour found him in the rear end of the
studying primer.
Then Mr.. Armour became interested
and asked the man about his history. He
learned he had been on the road eighteen
years consecutively. Mr. Armour asked
him if he had the sand to go to school if
some one sent him and paid for 1t. The
colored man said he'd like to find some one
who would try it. MIR. Armour said, All
right; go to school
ga few months after Mr.. Armour was
again on the train with Forrest, and accost-
ing the latter asked, Why didn't you go to
school as l told youF The porter smiled
and replied that he thought he (Mr. Ar
mour, was only fnnnin'.' No ans wered
the packer, L don't fun" anybody. l tell
you to go to school. Go anywhere you
like
THE man left the road the next day He
went to Hamilton College, Virginia. and
then to Wilberforce College. near Xenia,
o., where he remained six years. lie went
back on the road and is now on the con-
| gressional limited. MIR. Armour has spent
$4,000 on that darby, and Ihave it that ne
writes to the general once a month and
that each letter contains a draft for some
amount. The general recently came to
Chicago on bridal trip. and 1 understand

| in Mr.. Armours estimation. Armour is
curious combination. 1t is just as the fancy

and he can't do too much There are others
