THE LOTTERY LAW.

Acknowledgement Miller Urges Its Enforce

WASHINGTON, Oct 29.-Attorney-Gen-
eral Miller has sent circular letter to
all United States attorneys calling at
tention to the act of Congress, approved
September o, 1890, entitled AN act to
amend certain sections of the revised
statutes relating to lotteries and
for other purposes" with the sug-
gestion that they carefully examine the
same and spare no effort in it's enforce
ment He says: Every violation of
this law, either by an individual or a
corpora ion in the dissemina ton of lot
terry literature. or in any other way,
should be brought to the attention of
the grand jury and wherever indict-
ments are found vigorous prosecution
should follow, to the end that this
nefarious business may be suppressed.
In the enforcement of this law there
should be hearty cooperation on the
part of the district attorneys, the United
States marshals and the post-ofice in

'Why, he married the cook. Judge.

The Yarmouth(N. 81 Times repor is
that while two men of Port La Tour
were out fishing recently they saw,
about two hundred yards away from
them, an immense, strengthening fish
about forty feet long, having side fins
about seven feet long which appeared
like wings. The fish was about the
color of whale, but the side fins were
white underneath. When it raised
itself out of the water, with its
side fins ex tended, it looked like gil
gantic bird Near its tail on the back
it had an upright fin somewhat in the
form of a sword. Its general color was
like that of whale. but it did not blow
as the whale and porpoise do. 1t was
evidently after herring, as it came up in
the midst of a shoal of them They saw
the fish several times, and therefore
had good opportunities to observe it.
They never saw any thing like it before.

Yekaterano Slav districts in Southern

burned 5000 acres of forests on the

mense quantities OF corn in Bakmvolsky.

MUSICAL.

There seems to be little going on
in musical circles of late, but there
is much talk, among musical people,
of the marvellous cure of Miss B
the high contralto singer, who has
long suffered from a severe throat
or bronchial affection, superinduced
by Catarrh in the Head, and who
has been perfectly cured by the
use of DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy,
coupled with the use of DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. For
all bronchial, throat and lung affec-
tions, and lingering coughs, it is an
unequaled remedy. When compli-
Gated with Chronic Nasal Catarrh,
its use should be coupled with the
use of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.

Fore gn Trade OF the Bahamas.

Consul McLain, at Nassau, has sent a
report to the Department of State on the
trade and commerce of the BAHIA.

ing that there has been a slow

trade. There has been a small in
crease in imports, the values in 1889
being s44, oo0:more than in 1858, while
the value OF the imports was SIS. 900

An Untru.hful Report.

CITY OF MENICo, Nov. 1.-The report
printed in the United States that Mex
leo had passed bill levying duties of
$500 car on American livestock, in re-
taliation for the Mckinley bill, is un-
true. The same duties are now in vogue
as have been for the past year. It is
possible that in the present revision Of
the tariff. duties may be raised, but due
notice will be given by the Government
to all shippers, and time to meet the
change. Some dealers expect that In
creased duties will be placed on horned
cattle. but none on hogs, as Mexico
needs them and can not produce them.

Nearly Always Right In Her Judgm0at In
Regard Common Things
An old gentleman over seventy, came into
the city from hIs farm, without his overcoat.
The day turned chilly and he was obliged to
forego his visit to the fair.
To friend who demonstrated with him
for going away from home thus unprepared,
he said: 81 thought it was going to be warm;
my wife told me to take my overcoat, but
wouldn't Women have more sense than
men anyway"
A frank admission.
Women's good sense is said to come from
intuition; may it not be that they are more
close ob-ervers of little things. One thing
is certain, they are apt to strike the nail on
the head, in all the ordinary problems of
life, more frequently than the lords Of crea-
ton.

CONVENTION DATE CHANGED.
The Republican County nominating Con
vention Postponed to october II.


The Santa Fe Republican county com
mittee met this morning and transacted
an important piece of business.
1t was decided by unanimous vote to
postpone the county convention to nomi'
nate county ticket from Saturday next,
September 81, to Saturday, October IL.
This action was taken because it was
believed to be best to defer naming q
county ticket until after October 7, at
which time the people will be called upon
to vote upon the constitution. The OBJ
ject is to separate as far as possible any
connection between politics and the state
hood question-to make the vote on the
constitution as absolutely non-partisan III
character as it is possible to have it.
