Pres, La. State Lottery Co.
The Governor said he would take
the matter under adyisement, and
Mr.. Dauphin withdrew.
Subsequently the following let
ter was transmitted
NEW ORLEANS, Mar. Is, 1890.
To NJ. \. Dauphin, Esq, President
Louisiana State Lottery Compa-
ny, New Orleans, La.
Sir have received your com
munication OF this date i~nclosing
the check of the Louisiana Lottery
company for 100000 for leyee
purposes.
On the eve Of a session of the
Legislature during which the re
newal or extension of your charter
will be acted upon-a question Vi
tally affecting the interests of this
State-l have no right to place the
people under any obligations to
your company in however small
a degree by my acceptance of a
gratuity from it. | herewith return
you the check.
Very respectfully,
francis 7. NICHOLS,
Governor.
The Louisiana Lottery, this
Briarian swindle, which has spread
out it arms all over the South, and
a large portion of the North, now
comes with its generous ~ dona-
ton of 100000, doubtless think
ing by this noble 81 deed to con.
troll the action of the next legisla-
ture of Louisiana as to the renewal
or extension of its charter. Why
the Legislature will allow this lep.
erous spot to remain any longer on
their State and see it spread with
such alarming rapidIty that its
evil influence cannot be calculated,
more than we can understand.
The wisdom of Gov. Nichols in
refusing to accept this money is
worthy Of commentator. But !
what shall we say of Mayor
Shakespeare, of New Orleans? He ,
accepted $4,000 for the benefit of
city and thereby became a 4
party to this huge swindle, which,
though legalized, has done more i
destroy the morals of this land e
han all the gambling bells of
America. Its evil influence even =
1eryades the sanctity of the I
and Christians q in good i
standing, and sometimes officers of !
he church engage in this popular 4
node of gambling, and we say it 1
With shame that not a few women
,uy tickets in the Louisiana Lotte- \
y every month. This state of af-
airs is greatly deplored, but it :,
Ioes not stop there, for the temp !
alton to grow rich rapidly is so
.reat that men of all classes will
teal money to buy lottery tickets
they cannot get it otherwise ;
teal money to fill the Golfers of
nen who have already been made Il
ich by their ill-gotten gains. 5.
But why do we wonder at these =
acts when we see such papers as il

James O'Neili's Presentation Of ssMonte
Cristo."
Tonight opens the three-nights engage
ment Of James o Neil. presenting Monte
Cristo." Dumas great work. as inter-
preted by James o'Neili. is masterpiece.
The plot of Monte Cristo" Is one of those
prolific conspirscies of modern French
history where human lives are DESTROYED
by false imprisonment. conspiracies and
murder for the purpose of securing title
and money. The Chateau DIFF was
a prison in which many unfortunates
sank into premature graves on account
OF the rzscality of their immediate
relations. Edmond DAntes spent eighteen
years in this human slaughter house, and
then managed to escape by substituting
his own body in the place of that OF dead
fellow-prisoner, which, being cast into the
sea in sack. he cuts the sack open, reaches
a rock, and with all the fervor Of his inno-
cence. and the knowledge of the intrigue OF
the conspirators who had him arrested and
imprisoned, and Of the punishment that

musical voice and symmetrical form lend
charm TO his portrayal that Is exceedingly
pleasing. Were il not that this production is
familiar to the public. 1t would be an ex.
ceedingly pleasant task TO review its many
striking features at this time. As it is, it
is safe to say that the play has lost none OF
Its thrilling interest or melodramatic es-
festiveness. Its many strong situations
and picturesque tabIeaux are novel, inspir-
ing and fascinating.
Mr.. 0'Neili's work is imbued with great
dash, grace, fire and chivalric spirit, and
its artistic and salient points are made to
tell with splendid effect. The company

Franklin Murphy brought sympathetic
tears to the eyes of bis hearers at the

down to business one morning when he
saw young woman with Q baby in her

The woman returned in short time and
handed Jones 81. He patted the child 8
head and went down town, rejoicing in his
own goodness. He felt good all day and
brightness. His associates all noticed the
change, and finally one OF them asked him
the cause of it.

Jones, land the reason OF il is that l did

Pipe Lines From the Water
Front for the FirebOat.
MAINS FOR IMMEDIATE USE.
TIE Fireboas To Have Fear Bertha snd
Force salt water 1ArossA the
Proposed Pipe Lines.

The auxiliary pipe fns service proposed
TO the council Friday night By Chairman
Durie, OF the FIRE and water COMMITTEES, and
referred to the committee Of the whole.
will probably be acted on tomorrow. The
plan. as outlined by Mr.. Durie. Is 10 have
sufficient lines OF pipe laid along the water
front so as TO reach the business districts
rs far back as Third street These lines are
to lead from four or ave herths along the
harbor front to be prepared for use when
the new fireboat Is ready for service, and
into which she can force salt water up TO
Second and Third streets a. the case may
need, where it would be impracsicable Tor
the boat to throw out streams direct. From
the hydrants to which the salt water will
be forced, in case of failure of fresh water
supply, the ire department can get suffi-
cient supply and save much valuable time
in case OF IRE. A stopcock system will
line systems, where it joins with the fresh
the other fails IN effect.
The council viii probably decide TO To-
cate berths for the firehoat at the Oregon
Improvement Company's south coal bunk
ers, at Washington. Columbia and Madison
streets.
For the present the idea is to run an
eightinch pipe line from the south coal
bunkers up King street. beyond Third
street, and along the latter street to Jack
son and Weller streets. A six-inch branch
will also be laid on South second street to
Weller street. and all viii connect with the
numerous hydrants in that locality.
Until such time AS the firshoat Is ready
for service. Manager II. w. Mcneil. of
the Oregon Improvement Company. has
consented 10 station the company's fire
engine at the south bunkers, and keep ii
in constant readiness TO force salt water
into the eight-inch pipe line. so that the
regular firemen will not have to run any
risk or delay by having TO run long lines
of hose from the docks or distant hydrants
but have an abundant supply and force of
water at any convenient hydrant located
among the many wooden structures along
the lower harbor front.
