The. champions of the Louisiana
Lottery Company are blatant in
praises of the exhuberant charity of
their pet octopus. It is true that the
Lottery Company has distributed
large sums for the relief of the suf-
fers from the overflow, but the time
and circumstances considered, there
was the smallest evidence of human
ity, or charity in the gifts. The oc-
casion for such benifcent contribu-
tons was as urgent in 1882 and 1884
as in 1890, yet, it the former years,
the Greeks did not bring US gifts. Is
it uncharitable to say that then the
Company was not an applicant for
favors from the people, or their rep
resentatives. Now it is, and sudden
spasm of generosity has seized this
soulless corporation.
Stripped of all DISCUSSES, can it be
doubted that the Lottery has assailed
the virtue and morality of all Louisi-
anians in the supreme hour of their
sufferings and dire necessities. The
specious guise of charity and gene
rosity is used to leftover a State oil
her virtue and good name, and PEG.
pie of their moral worth, moral tone
and moral principles.
We concede that it is not always
proper to look the gift horse in the
mouth, but what manly man dareG
say, that he who attempts through
your misfortunes to rob you of YOU
virtue, is honorable, or charitable, o.
generous Does it not unmask th,
donor and make him hideous, whel
we know he relieves our misfortuues
not for sweet charity's sake,n but TO
a personal profit to himself?

Military Tactics In Colleges.

Acting Adjutant General McKeever in
his annual report submitted TO the Secre-
tary of war yesterday devotes consider
ableattention to the subject of universities
and colleges to which army officers are
detailed as professors of military science
and tactics. He says the reports of these
officers give gratifying evidence of the
increase interest manifested by the col
lege authoities in course of studies and
exercise that in addition to imparting
military knowledge tends so directly to
develop obedient submission to authority
and manliness of department.
The tabulated returns from the various
schools show that at the Maryland Agri-
cultural College the faculty takes little in
terest in the military course while the
aptitude and interest of the pupils are re-
ported as good. The average attendance
at drills was "a.
At St. Johns College. Annapolis, the in
terest of the faculty is reported as salts

tail makes military drill and instruc-
ton compulsory upon all male students

THE WEEK or PRAYER.
why should We Observe This
Week or Prayer


The following is an abstract of the
remarks at the Presbyterian church last
night "Why should we observe this
week Of prayer r The convention Of
the Young Mems Christian Associations
has appointed this week as week OF
PRAYER. In view of the fact that only
6fteen per cent Of the young men of our
land attend church, and only FIVE per
cent. are members Of church. we can see
the importance Of prayer on their behalf.
A large proportion of the membership of
these associations are members of Pres
byterian churches. The General As
sembly has frequently recommended the
observance of this week TO our churches
The large number of young men in our
town makes it important that we should
feel some special interest in them. There
are not less than q thousand young men
in the academy. in the college. and the
town for whom prayer should be Offer
ed. Many of these are striving to do
right, and Gods people ought to pray
that they may be assisted in carrying
out every good resolution which they
have formed Many are doing wrong.
and their own consciences condemn
them. These need the help which comes
from God, in answer to prayer, to break
away from the evil influences that sur
round them. We should pray for the
young men around us, because in very
short time they will have great influ-
ence for good or evil. They are to occu-
py positions of influence, and il is i'm
portant that they should be christians,
that they may exert . good influence
Some who have gone out from our brief
ministry In Annapolis are today occupy
ing positions of influence and response
bility. The church remembers them as
boys, and rejoices with them In the po-
sitions they occupy in their early man
hood, and hopes, that as the years pass
away, they will continue faithful to the
dear Lord to whom they have given
their hearts.
We pray for these young men around
US because many of them have been care
fully trained in christian households
They have experienced many Of the ben
fits that come from religious training,
and can appreciate the fact that a great
number of people are uniting with pious
parents in calling down blessings upon
them. Many of those in the schools To-
Gated here have parents who are hopeing
and praying for their conversion while
here. Thousands, who are now occu-
plying important positions, have been
converted while at school, DIR. ANGEL.
president of Michigan University, says
'sThe fathers and mothers who send their
children to college do. with few excep-
tons. desire and rightly desire that those
children should be helped, not hindered,
in the christian life while they are pur-
suing their studies" In most of our
colleges there are conversions every
year Princeton last year had twenty,
Lake Forrest ten; Hanover twelve:
Wooster thirty five; Park sixty-fve, etc.
We unite with the Young Mems Chris
tian Associations of our land in asking
God to send His holy spirit with convert
ing power into every university, college,
academy. and town and city in our land,
that scores and hundreds of young men
may be led to dedicate themselves to the
service of Christ.
