Tallant & Co.. banking house on the
corner OF California and Battery streets
recently drew from the Louisiana State
Lottery Company $15, 900, being the one
fortieth share of ticket 4,398, which in
the June drawing drew the grand prize
of 100000.
An Examiner reporter called yester-
day at the bank to ascertain the name of
the lucky winner, but the paying-teller,
who was all smiles when the question
was asked, replied:
'All business of any kind transacted
with this bank is strictly confidential
We never talk about anything we do
here"
And still he smiled, and as he smiled
his smile the stronger grew.
This engendered the suspicion that
the paying teller himself was the lucky
winner, but further inquiry elsewhere
elected the fact that the fortunate per-
son was young business man on Cali
fornia street, the father OF seven chill
dren. y s
He declined to allow his name to be
used, but said:
bies to Paris next week, and we shall do
the tour of Europe. For that purpose
have set aside 5000 of my winnings.
With the remaining $4,000 have paid
off my homestead mortgage of $2,500,
leaving me 81 500 to invest in real es-
tate. This lucky strike has placed me
beyond the reach of want. Business was
against me this year, but now we are
happy, thanks to an investment of one
dollar. have been buying coupons in
the Louisiana State Lottery for the past
three years, and the biggest winning
outside of the present that ever made
was one OF $40.
II thought the thing wasn't conducted
on the square, but my wife induced me
to keep up my investment of one dollar
month, and the result has proved that
she is better adapted for business than

Horace Stevens, manager of the Sierra
Lumber company, is another of the
lucky ones whose name has come to
light since the June drawing. He drew
the one-fortieth part of the third prize
of 100000 His share is $2500.
A reporter called at his Office, 800

that Mr.. Stevens had gone to the mount

THE ROBERT GOBLET COTTAGE.

Up on Halidon hill is the house of Lor-

the estate of F. o. French. Just beyond
we find The Moorings, the home of
Schuyler Hamilton. Near by is the pretty
home of Judge Hugh Dickey.
AS we make a turn on Bellevue avenue,
just beyond the residence of Fred Wander

wealthy retired banker of New York; then
comes the magnificent estate of H. M.

the homes in Newport this is the most ar

of graystone and stands on an eminence
overlooking its neighbors
On the Ocean drive is the villa of Ross

srONEwALL JACKSON.

The following high and just tribute
to the worth of "Stonewall" JACKSON
as a soldier, Christian and an Ameri-
can citizen in the Parkers5urg Journal
deserves reproduction. Such comments
in Radical newspaper unerringly tell
the change that is gradually coming
over the minds of the bloody shirt war
riors. Time works wonders:
A splendid statue of Stonewall Jackson
was unveiled to-day at Lexington. General
jackson was man of rare purity Of char
acter, and his sincerity, bravery and splen-
did military ability have never been ques-
toned. He was a unique figure and his
influence over his soldiers was matter of
wonder to those who did not know and adj
preciate the characteristics Of the man. A
West Virginian born and reared, the peo-
pie of this part of the old Commonwealth
of Virginia, whether they followed the
fortunes of Mcclellan or the flag OF Jack
son, have to-day only kind words for the
memory of Stonewall; but in paying their
tributes 10 him as man and soldier and
a sincere, earnest Christian, they must
still rejoice that the dissolution Of the Re-
public was not effected, and know that
if Stonewall himself were living to-day he
would Join with them in that sentiment.
jackson was unqueStionably the ablest
commander of the Confederate forces, and
ranked with the greatest military geniuses
of all time. If his great abilities had been
exerted for the preservation of the Union OF
the States the war would have ended long
before it did. But, unhappily, he felt that
duty meant loyalty to part OF the country
only, and he heSitated not to hand over to
his State his services and his life and put
them up against that broader loyalty to the
whole nation.
Thirty years ago to-day Jackson won the
bloody and memorable struggle at the first
battle of Bull Run, and when he fell at
Charlottesville in May two years later
the strongest figure Of the Southern army
passed away, and his place at the front
could not be filled. He passed over and
rested under the shade Of the trees" and
in less than two months came Gettysburg
and with it the beginning of the end Of the
most heroic but most lamentably mis-
guided struggle in the history Of the
world

He Stirred the Exchange Up.

CHICAGO, July 22.-Three resounding
shots from a revolver in the great hall
OF the Board of Trade at q quarter after
IL o'clock this morning created a ire
mendous sensation momentarily. a
slight man with dark eyes and haggard
appearance stood short distance inside
the entrance to the hall with large re-
volver in his hand firing toward the
lofty ceiling when general attention was
thus directed to him.
Business was instantly brought to a
standstiIl and the crowd who were at
first frightened and then angry rushed
at him, crying chang him." "lynch
him." "kill him."
He was overpowered in moment be-
fore he could continue his fusilade, and
turned over to the police. Subsequent
ly 1t was learned that his name is At
kins, that he came to the Board to see
Thomas Wells of the International
Packing Company about claim which
he makes. Wells referred him to his
attorney and Atkins without further
parley stepped upon the floor of the
exchange, drew his revolver and began
firing.

OLAIMTNG rae suNsHINE.

A New York Republican contempor-
airy speaks Of the reports OF good crops
in the West as being dismal news for
Democrats. This is the height OF parti-
san absurdity. Our contemporary evil
IDENTIFY has in mind the old political
belief that the people resent 'hard
times" by voting against the party in
power, and Utce versa. The Republican
press everywhere is getting ready to
claim the big wheat yield, should there
be one; and the big corn yield, and the
big peach yield, and the big grape yield,
and the big bean yield, and the big hay
yield, and the big pouato yield-all as
the work of the Republican Admins
tration, for which the people are bound
to shov their gratitude b. swallowing
the whole Republican machine and pro-
gramme, high taxes and the BILLION
DOLLAR Congress included.
This sort of partisan trading on the
bounty of nature can hardly be success
full. The people have grown too intel
ligent. They know that though big
crop may make them prosperous, yet
they would be more prosperous still did
not a Republican Tariff make them pay
double for most articles OF general use
and necessity and did not Republican
Congress spend the money even faster
than the most burdensome tariff ever
known can bring it in. The very i'm
pudence Of the claim that good crops, if
they come, will be due to Republican
control of the elements must cause peo-
pie to reject it.
1t is the most foolish of foolish partl-
san lies to state that Democrats look
upon favorable crop reports as bad
news. The Democratic policy seeks the
prosperity of the general mass Of the
people, and it welcomes such prosperity,
whatever party may temporarily be in
power and whatever cause may produce
it. Democrats believe that this country
will prosper, as nations go, even with
Republican miSrule; but they believe
it would prosper infinitely more could
an end be put to that misrule and to the
restrictive legislation which prevents
the benifcent forces of nature from do
ing their best work.

Why the Irish Commoners Favor bsiiour
Local Government Scheme.

LONDON, July 22.-The surprising
willingness shown by the members OF
the Irish party in Parliament to accept
Local Government bill from the Tories
and particularly a bill framed by Mr..
Balfour. has furnished political circles
with an abundance Of material for dis
cussion.
Precisely what the bill contemplated
by Mr.. Balfour will grant to Ireland Is,
of course, a matter of conjecture at
present, but If it is broadly based on the
lines of the English and Scottish acts, as
the Chief Secretary has intimated it will
be, the Irish members cannot consist
emily refuse to support 1t, no matter
who may be their leader.
1t is contended by Conservative mem
bers, and admitted by Irish Common
ers, that Ireland cannot justly ask Tor
more liberty of action than England ano
Scotland are content with, and indeed
it has all along been asserted by the
Irish members that with the same privi-
leges and the same degree of local gov
eminent as England and Scotland en-
roy, Ireland would be satisfied.
The amazing change OF attitude OF
the Irish members toward the Govern
ment party and any Irish measure en-
anating therefrom, is generally as
cribed to the fact that Mr.. Parnell is no
longer the leader of the Irish National
party, or or any considerable portion OF
it. Were Mr.. Parnell still in the pos.
session of the confidence of the en-
tire Irish party, as he once was,
there is no doubt that he would
have thrown cold water upon
Mr.. Balfour's advances and lead his
followers away from home rule, as he
has often done before. An Irish men,
Der declared in the lobby of the House
last evening that the conviction was
now dawning upon him, as well as upon
many of his colleagues, that Mr.. Par
nell has actually stood in the way Of
home rule for years past. In the coun-
ellis of his party he had steadily opposed
every suggestion of cooperation with
the Tory party in securing some slight
advantage for Ireland from time to
time, yet when he was repudiated by
the Liberals, and deserted by large
majority of the National party, he
sought to make terms with the Conser-
vatives, and would have done so had he
been able to command respectable
following. There is to-day wide.
spread feeling among Irishmen that by
the downfall of Mr.. Parnell the most
serious obstacle in the way OF home
rule, which must come gradually, has
been removed.

towns to get clue to the perpetrators
of robbery at the Easton National
Bank yesterday. The robbery took
place at noon, while Cashier Hackett
was at dinner. Three men entered the
bank, and while two of them engaged
the clerk in conversation about money
matters, the third man walked into the
cashiers room from the lobby, and then
entering the counting room, crept
under the table, and getting into the
vault grabbed the first package that he
could get his hands on, which proved to
be a package OF 81 bills amounting to
$4,000. Other packages, one Of $4,000
and another of 100000, lay near by,
but were overlooked.

RECIPROCITY REVERSED.

Thus far the reciprocity section Of
the Mckinley tariff has been used by
the administration solely for the pur-
pose Of promoting free trade. 1t has
not, to be sure, opened market for an
other buShel of wheat or another barrel
OF pork in Brazil, but its advocates still
cling to it as the one hopeful encourag-
ing provision Of the tariff law.
The reciprocity section, however, is
reversible, and within six months, of its
own action, it will take the back track
toward new and higher tariff taxation
even than the present laws. 1t is made
the duty of the President on January 1,
1892, to impose tax Of one cent and a
half pound on all hides imported into
the United States from countries which
decline to eStablishreciprOeal trade rela-
lions with the United States. Our import
trade in hides amounts yearly TO about
sos, 900, 600, and the great boot and shoe
and harness industries Of the country
are built up on free hides. When Nc
KINLEY proposed to tax hides, every
Republican representative from Massa-
chusetts went down on his knees to beg
that hides be spared by the remorselesS
protector Of American industry" lest
New England'S trade be sacrificed and
the Republican party march to certain
defeat in the Bay State. The matter
was compromised by including hides
under the reciprocity section. 1t must
be borne in mind that the law does not
leave it optional with the President to
impose this tax. 1t is made his duty to
levy it.
Many years ago New England led a
revolt against unjust taxation. Then
Massachusetts threw taxed tea into
Boston harbOr. On January first the
president must impose a tax on hides,
or disobey the laws he has sworn to
support. But there is only one way to
escape from the predicament. Congress
will meet in December Amajority Of
the Massachusetts, delegation are Demo
Gratis. They will move and, we ven
ture to predict, will carry repeal Of
that part of the Mckinley tariff which
permits even for time a destructive
tax on one of the country's greatest in
dustrieS.
