Gov. Nichols can save it in Louis

Many of the most influential citizens
of Louisiana have organized what they
call the anti-lottery league, for the
purpose of stamping it out when its
present charter expires The circulars
sent out by. this league state that only

come of the lottery comes from the
State of Louisiana. 1t draws its life
blood from the nation, and, therefore,
the anti-lottery league urges that the
people Of all the States should lend a
hand in suppressing it. Steps will
probably be taken to have Congress
enact more stringent law which will
destroy this great swindle.

suggested that would equal in villainy

cessful emotional parts--that of
skate MedIand.
Her acting throughout the play
is said TO be very strong and effect
i've especially in act 2nd, the scene
in which she finds her long lost
child and pleads TO Sir Frederick
to restore to her, her boy, at the
conclusion of which there is bnt
seldom a dry eye to be found in the
audience, and goes to prove the tall
ents and power of the actress.
In act LIST, the homeiike kitchen
of Medlands the mother Introduces
a number of beautiful cradle songs
with which she sings her babe To
sleep, a piece of business so natural
that it always calls forth many
rounds of applause.
The character comedy role of
