The Lottery COMPANY Gains.

New ORLEANS, April 27.-At the last
session of the legislature John A. Nor
rls and associates made application for
renewal of the Louisiana state lottery
charter for twenty-five years, offering to
pay the state more than a million dol
lars per annum for the privilege. A bill
embodying the amendments was adopted
by two-thirds vote of the legislature
and copy of the act was sent to Gov
ernor Nichols, who vetoed it, although
the friends of the measure argued that
he had no right to do SO under the con-
stltution. The secretary Of state having
refused to promulgate the act, Morris &
Co. applied for a mandamus compelling
him to promulgate the proposed consti-
tutitional amendments to be voted on
by the people at the next general cleo
ton.

SHE'S TAKING NOTES.

In brokers' Office just across the way,
A maiden sits and typewrites all the day /;
Maybe she's blonde; and yet
Possibly she's a brunette;
And her age l am not competent to say.
L look across and watch her at her ease
The brokers' letters piled upon her knees !;
And on her my optic fingers
As she moves her little fingers,
Mechanically tapping at the keys.
At five O'Clock, when Park Row is alive
With human bees that hasten to their
hive.
The broker draws the curtain,
And | really am not certain
Where that maiden is at thirty after five.
Perhaps she thenis putting on her wraps :;
Perhaps-and here my fancy has lapse :;
Perhaps-I am DEPRESSING
Perhaps-but this is guessing
Or, perhaps wonder-she and he
perhaps.

A Strike Imminent.

PITTsBURG. Pa, April 27.-The Pitts
burg Coal association, including all the
leading operators of the district, held
an important meeting to-day. 1t was
decided to fix the maximum rate OF min

per ton.
At present the operators are paying rs
cents. This move means that the min
ers will be asked to submit to reduc-
ton of 5 cents ton. The decision will
probably hcsten the threatened strike OF

GOSSIP IN NEW YORK.
The Water Famine-Drugs In Dry Goods
Stores,

NEW YoRK, Nov. 1S.-[Special Correspond
ence. New York has been many times threat
ened with water famine, bat at no time, per-
haps, has one been so imminent at the pres
emit The long drought has really made the Sit
uation serious, and the authorities are urging
upon the people the necessity of economy in the
use OF water even for domestic purposes. I'm
less there is rainfall it cannot be but few
days when manufacturing establishments will
be required 20 reduce their water supply and
eventually suspend operations The gravity OF
the situation will be apparent when one stops TO
reflect that a lack OF water may compel the big
breweries to shut down. This reflection will
bring water famine ''home to the business
and bosoms" OF great many people who
might not otherwise appreciate it, New York
consumes about 165,000,0OO gallons of water
every twenty-four hours, or, say, 100 gallons
TO each inhabitant, and with the supply in the
reservoirs low, and none running in from the
Croto: water she'd il is not strange that there is
considerable nervousness among the people as
well as among the authorities. One would sup
pose that New York should no: be in fear OF
water famine so soon after completing a new
aqueduct at cost of $4,000, 90, but the dry
spell has upset all OF Tammany's calculations
Even now, with a water famine staring in
the face, elaborate plans are being made for the
construction OF another dam to hold lG 900, 001-
600 gallons and to cost 100000. But new
dams in dry weather quench no thirst,
and the people see no relief from the present
emergency in this dam movement There
are row four new reservoirs in course
of construction, which, when completed, will
add to the capacity OF our reservoir system
about 81 COZ, 900 000 gallons. series of rainais
would relieve the situation. but at present local
forecast holds out no encouragement. Doctors
have injected their cheerful presence into the
situation by telling what dread events go hand
IN hand, as IL were, with q water famine one of
the least of which is pestiience. Strange to say.
with all the beating OF alarm drums by the
authorities and the horrors pointed out by
psnicky physicians, there has not been great
deal of economy in the matter of water yet prac-
ticed by the people. The waste goes on, and
probably Will long there is a
barrel in the reservoir. Ii is difficult
10 get the people OF big town to
believe that there ever can be an actual famine

They would about readily believe IN an air

that all this eommotion about the short water
supply is 4 scheme on the part OF some OF our
