RAFlES UNLAWFUL.

The law in relation to lotteries, rafes,
and the like, is very strict and the
penalty severe. The selling of tickets
on doll, quilt, horse, watch, or any
other article for the purpose of raf1e,
the person holding the lucky number
drawing the prize, is just as plainly
gambling in the eyes of the law, as
gambling with cards for money.
Section 1923 Of (Chapter 1867 of the
Revised Statutes says:
SECTION 1928 Any person who shall
set up orprOmote any lottery for money
or shall dispose of any property of
any value, real or personal, bv way of
lottery, or who shall aid, either by
printing or writing, or shall in any wav
be concerned in setting up, managing or
drawing any such lottery, or who shall
III any house, shop or building, owned
or occupied by him, or under his con-
troll, knowingly permit the setting up.
managing or drawing Of anv such lottery
or the sale of any lottery ticket. share
OF ticket, or any other writing, certifi-
cate, bill, token, or any other device,
purpOrting or intended to entitle the
holder, bearer or any other person, to
any prize, or interest or share of anv
prize, to be drawn in lottery, shall be
punished by Imprisonment in the
county Jail not more than six months,
or bv tine not exceeding one hundred
dollars.
Bouvier's Law Dictionery defines a
lottery as scheme for the distribution
of prizes by chance, and says that rafes
at Jairs are as clearly violations of the
criminal law as the most elaborate and
carefully organized lotteries.
Anybody selling tickets as above cited
for the purpose of having rahe can be
arrested under the above Section.

With his thumb, a boy is said to have saved
the NetheIland from ipudation. Many people
have been saved from the invasion of disease
by a bottle of Ayers SarsaparIlla. This medi-
cine imparts tone to the system and strengthens
every organ and fibre of the body.
If fathers and mothers were held to
the same standard of accountability for
their actions that some of them insist
upon in the management of their
children, they would be spanked
twenty times day. If our boys and
girls were as perfect as we sometimes
demand they shall be in order to escape
a scolding or a punishment, they would
be so superior to us in intellect, charac-
ter and self control that they would be

COL. KINGS OPINION.
He Thinks His Offer to the City
Was q Liberal One.

Col. W. S. King has come back to
Minneapolis after a prolonged absence
in the East. His return lends new in
terest to his gift proposition. which has
occupied so much of the park, boards
att ention for the past few weeks. Some
of the members of the board are OPP
posed to accepting the offer OF Col.
King because the board is too poor to
comply with all the conditions. They
hint, too, that this gift is merely one or
Kings schemes for booming his own
real estate. Col. King was asked about
this matter yesterday and said
II have not yet been informed, Off
cially or otherwise, AS to what the park
board has done in this matter. Until |

never rise to defend myself against the

FOOLISH WOMEN.
why VIII They BE So Thoughtless
and Careless, Even About Matters
Which Concern Their Beauty

The plainest features become pretty when
clothed with q fresh, velyety skin. 1t is in the
power of every woman to have a soft, fine
skin, thus adding much to her charms, if she
will devote a little time and care to her toilet.
1t should be a duty as well as a pleasure to
every woman to enhance her powers OF at
tractiveness.
SO says the highest authority In London
But nothing can be more absurd than for any
lady to try to be beautiful simply by powder
ing the face, or by applying cream or oint-
ment. These things are necessary, it is true
but something else is more important. Good
refreshing sleep. Warm circulating blood
which never permits cold feet or blue noses.
These things make beauty quicker than any
powders or lotions can But, my lazy reade
says, how can this be done? Keep the blood
moving by some gentle stimulant, and for
this purpose nothing is equal TO pure whiskcy.
Not the whiskey one commonly hears of; not
The questionable kind that is drunk by gross
men in grosser places, but something pure,
palatable and pleasing. This is precisely
what Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is and what
has made it so UNNECESSARILY popular. The
best doctors in the II prescribe it. The
finest scientists indorse il. In il all those
qualities are found which make 1t a great
friend to women. 1t relieves the sufferings
to which they are so subjected, and counter
acts the wearing effects which so often cause
women TO grow old prematureIy.
Dntfy's Pure Malt Whiskey will, taken with
a little water. tone up the system. and replace
languor and weakness with brightness and
vigor. 1t is being used by the leading ladies
of the land. But be sure IN secure the gen
uine. and take only Duffy's.

How the Arrested Gamesters Bore

his saloon harbored an organization
similar to the Minneapolis club, created
not a little comment on the streets yes
terday. Ali of the thirty-two worship

bail. NJ. w. Glenn and Ed Burke
signed a bond of $1,000 for
the appearance of all the arrested.
1t was the biggest 'catch" made in the
city for years, n it attracted a large
crowd of interested spectators, who
hung around the central station yeSter-
day morning until the %boiIing-out
process had been completed. Judge
Elliott, who has not been On the bench
long enough to become convinced of the

AS TO PRISON LABOR.
st. Cloud Granite Cutters Not In
dorsed by Minneapolis Men.

st. Cloud Granite Cutters Not In
dorsed by Minneapolis Men.
AS noted III the GLOBE, the Minneap-
oils Trades and Labor assembly re-
ceived at last Friday nights meeting a
delegation from the trades and labor
assembly OF st. Cloud. That delegation
came down in charge of a bill which the
Minneapolis workingmen were asked to
indorse. The bill was designed to pre-
vent the stonecutting done by pris-
oneIs in the st. Cloud reformatOry
from coming into competition with the
work of members of the granite cutters
union. If passed, it would make the
any buildings other than those of the
state a crime. The bill was referred to
the committee on legislation of the Min
neapolis assembly with power to act.
The committee on legislation met yes
terday and considered the bill. They
decided that they couldn't indOrse
it. The Minneapolis and st. Paul
Trades and Labor assemblies
were among the strongest advocates
of the proposition to locate the reforma-
tory at st. Cloud. The members of the
assemblies know very we'll that the
prisoners must be employed at some
thing. They didn't feel like stultifying
themselves by virtually attacking a
system for which they had formerly
worked. Instead Of indorsing the bill
the committee will recommend that the
present law be amended so as to diver
sify the character of the labor done at
the st. Cloud refOrmatory. This would
relieve the granite cutters of a goodly
portion of the burden of prison labor
competition, which they are now COM
PEELED to bear alone.
