MONEY IN LOTTERY TICKETS.

SPECIAL TELEGRAM To THE DIsPATcu.1
MANSFIELD, O.. March 27.-Adam Koch, an
insurance agent, disappeared rather mysteri-
ousy a week ago, and now it is said that he has
been selling bogus Louisiana lottery tickets at
S35 per ticket, guaranteeing each investor S15,
900 or $4,000 for $40. He confined his opera
tions to ignorant persons in towns within a
radius of 80 miles of this city.
Mary Haight, a domestic in DR.. Craig's fam
ily, borrowed S35 to invest in the scheme. 1t is
estimated that he secured ABOUT $500. None
of the victims squealed until this afternoon.

IN the hearing of applications for license
Judge Ewing has given abundant evidence
of the remarkable quality of his memory. 1t
is a fact that Judge Ewing's memory is ap-
pealed to by those who know him with as much
assurance as if it were part of the records of
the court.
A gentleman who was with Judge Ewing at
Washington and Jefferson College gave me an
example of the latter's mnemonic powers.
Said he: Judge Ewing and 1 were talking
about our college days lately, and he asked me
if l remembered the names of the men in my
class. replied that couldn't recall half of
them. But Judge Ewing then and there had
not the slightest difficulty in reeling off the
names of the 40 or so men who were graduated
with him. He remembered given as well as
surnames, too."
THE faSnion of wearing bonnets of vivid
scarlet or crimson to the theater seems to
be dying out, and in its place a bonnet of pure.
white or very pale cream color is coming into
favor. For two all crimson bonnets in the
Grand Opera House 1 counted last night no
less than ten of white or colors very near it.
From an aesthetic point of view the white
bonnet seems to have the best of it, but for a
very dark brunette the crimson or scarlet head
dress was wonderfully becoming. Madame
Patti Is fond of the latter kind of head cover
ing, and she looked remarkably handsome in

A mpion for the Chinese.

+ ON j. W. FOSTER appeared to-day before
the Senate Committee on the Census. as
the representative of the Chinese merchants in
the United States, to oppose the bill which
passed the House on the 18th inst, requiring
the Superintendent of the Census to give to
every Chinaman in the country certificate,
which, after 80 days from the date of the be-
ginning of the enumeration. shall be the sole
evidence of his right to remain in the United
States, and in the absence of which he shall be
liable to deportation or imprisonment for five
years.
Mr.. Foster said the proper regulation and re-
striction of Chinese immigration could be Sc
cured by rigid enforcement of the laws now
on the statute books without further violation
of the treaties with China and the straining of
relations with her Government. The effect of
the bill, if it became law. Mr.. Foster said,
would be to invite retaliation by China by shut
ting out of that Empire all American mer-
chants and missionaries and the complete nom

Fixing Pacific RaiIroad Indebtedness.

A FTER discussing the question for a month.
the House Comnittee on Pacific Rail-
roads this morning reached a decision respect
ing the method to be pursued in the treatment
of pending bills looking to the payment of the
Government Indebtedness of the Union and
Central Pacific Railroad Companies. A reso-
luton was offered by MIR. Cooper and adopted
which binds the committee to report one bill
covering both companies in its provisions, and
subsequently another motion prevailed to take
up at the next meeting the bill reported by the
Senate committee
But one member of the committee was absent
from the meeting. and the opposition to the
adoption of the Cooper resolution was confined
to three members. Mr.. Mason made an argu-
ment in support of the motion. in the course of
which he took the ground that if the commit
tee desired to accomplish any legislation it
must report the combination bill. as the House
could never be prevailed upon to pass a sep
arate measure in the case of each railroad.
Several propositions in the nature OF amend
ments or substitutes. providing for postpone
ment OF the entire subject until the next session
of Compress, and for the reporting of separate
bills in the case of the Union Pacific and the
Central Pacific, were rejected before the ques-
tion was put and carried on the Cooper resolu-
tion.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-As one who defies
all ideas of art and aesthetics, Secretary
Proctor, though he be from cultured New En-
gland, has just made reputation which is
causing a lively buzz about his ears. All visit
ors to Washington will remember the beautiful
Lafayette Park, across Pennsylvania avenue
from the White House grounds. and the fine
statue of Jackson in its center. designed ana
cast by Clark Mills, ''Old Hickory being firmly
seated on his horse, which is poised on his
hinder feet. Secretary Proctor decided that
the new Lafayette Monument, soon to be
shipped from Paris, must stand in Lafayette
Park, and ordered it placed close to the avenue
sidewalk, directly between the front of the
White House and the Jackson statue, thus OBJ
scuring the fine view of the latter from both
avenue and White House, and placing the new
monument in position that is generally pro-
nounced to be ridiculous.
Not only the Jackson Association and all
other Democrats, but Republicans and citizens
without regard to sex or party. denounce this
act of vandalism and lack of taste, but the work
of digging for the foundation of the pedestal

THE DUKE OF CLARENCE.
The New Titles Conferred Upon Prince
Albert Victor of Wales.


The New Titles Conferred Upon Prince
Albert Victor of Wales.
The queen has conferred the dignity
of a peerage of the United Kingdom
upon Prince Albert Victor The future
heir to the throne is created Duke of
Clarence and Avondale, and Earl of
Athlone. Although it is a matter of
course that royal prince in the direct
line of succession, who has arrived at
mans estate, should formally take his
place among our territorial nobility,
the occasion, now that it has arrived,
claims from more than one point of
view, the sympathetic interest of the
queens loyal subjects.
In such cases the selection of titles is
point that always arOuses, and legiti-
mately arouses, certain curiosity. The
revival of the dukedom of Clarence
will crafty those who value the preser-
walton of titles that have left a mark
upon the pages of our history. Al
though originally an Irish dignity, de-
rived from the ''honor' of Glare, the
dukedom of Clarence is an English title
by ancient association. 1t was first con-
ferred by Edward III in 1862 upon one
of his sons. But the prince with whom
the title is most familiarly connected in
our annals is that Duke of Clarence
whose traditional fate as well as the ex-
pressive words of Shakespeare that serve
as his epitaph are known to every school
boy 1t will be remembered that, after
the title had been extinct for more than
800 years, George III revived it in favor
of his third son, Prince William, after
ward William ". Moreover, the late
Duke of Albany was Earl of Clarence
in addition to his other titles, and here
it is remarkable that what had always
before been dukedom dwindled to the
dimensions of an earldom.
Avondale, to which, conjointly with
Clarence, the dukedom is made appur-
tenant, is presumably the Lanarkshire
parish which contains the fine histori-
cal ruin of AvOndale castle; while the
Earldom of Athlone is title which be-
came extinct as recently as 1914.
1t is, of course, as the Duke of Clar-
ence that Prince Albert Victor will be
known during the lifetime of the queen
and Prince of Wales; and thus he will
bear title which two members Of his
family have borne already. The his
tory, however, of the young princes
new dignities is of less account than the
reflection that they are one more out
ward sign of his assumption of the re-
sponsibilities and duties which in these
days make a princes lot arduous and
his life of the busiest. Prince Albert
Victor or the Duke of Clarence, as we
should now call him, has arrived at
that period of full manhood at which
he can relieve the Prince of Wales of a
large share ofpublic engagements which
have hitherto devolved upon him ex-
clusively. London Times.
