Profits of the Louisiana Lottery.

Judge Frank NcGloin in The FOrum.]
The income and outgo Of the lottery
per annum are as follows:
Face value of tickets, twelve draw. .,s o,o -,
Total 81 prizes twelve drawings. ia. .SSs
Remainder rep. gross profits. .si3, 2232 ,s0(
1t is doubtless true that all tickets
issued are not sold; but this does not
affect the dishonesty of the general
rate. So, the unsold tickets are placed
in the wheel, with the sold, and the
company is the beneficiary Of the win
nings upon them.
The meaning Of this is, tina. the
company would sell tickets 10 the value
Of $2S, ,O0O, 900 and collect the same;
generously refund to comparatively
small number of winners less than SIS,
OOO, 900 and appropriate to themselves
more than $l3, ,0OO, 900. In other words,
this company takes trifle less than AZ
per cent for themselves; trifle more
than SO per cent for the limited band Of
winners. This Is as near to an appro-
priation OF one-half as these men dared
to venture. The daily drawings, the
scheme which feeces the miserably
poor, are cast in still more dishonest
mold. And it is TO individuals who
have been exploiting the public at
such rate that the proposed constitu-
tional amendment proposes to leave all
discretion and control over the regula-
tion of the plans Of drawing and the
manner Of conducting the business.

Jealousy Leads to Horrible Murder.

MERIDIAN, Miss, Dec 27-News Of
a most diabolical murder has just
reached the city. On Thursday night
Willie Wright and Miss Phillips were
married at the residence Of the, brides
father, twelve miles northwest Of
Meridian, near the Lauderdale and
Kemper county line.
After the ceremony the bridal party
were in the parlor making merry,
when a young man named johnson
crept up to the window and fred the
contents Of o double-barrel shotgun,
loaded with buckshot, into the body Of
Wright, who fell forward without a
groan, dying instantly.
In the confusion that ensued, the
assassin sought to make his escape, but
q constable captured him and started
with him to Philadelphia. No tidings
have since been heard Of him, but 1t is
supposed that speedy punishment was
meted out at the hands Of Judge
Lynch. .al. -
johnson and Wright werc rival suit
ors for the hand OF Miss Phillips and
johnson often threatened that II she
welded Wright he would kill him, but
she paid no attention to his threats.

The Wilmington Conference has ad-

practically forgotten the disturbing
elements of the past and adjourned in
peace. Rev. J. A. B. Wilson OF his
own volition requested transfer to
the New York Conference where he will
have ample opportunity for the exsr-
cise Of the great abilities which he
possesses. Mr.. Wilson with his am
bltion was too big man for the VII
mington Conference. That he was an
lndefatlgable and energetic worker
could not be denied, but his methods
did not please many OF his leading
ministerial brethren, hence jealousies
arose followed by the excited state of
affairs that faced tho conference when
it met in this city,
DR.. Wilson will DO kindly remember.
ed by many warm friends In the con.
ference who espoused his cause.
Warm hearted, genial and generous
he could not fail to make friends, and
yet there were elements in his cbaruc.
ter which also alienated friends. DR..
Wilson's aggressiveness was consp!c-
uous. Whatever he espouscd or what.
ever he opposed ho threw his whole
heart into 1t, and if he happened to
be wrong it was an error of the head
more than OF the heart
The conservatism of the Wilmington
Conference is notable and consequent
ly aggressive spirits do not receive q
warm welcome, as the opposition tc
Dr. Wilson fully illustrates. In another
conference DR.. Wilson may be just the
kind OF man desired, and with that
hearty support denied him here, lie
may be greater power for good. One
thing is certain, no matter where DR.
Wilson goes the people will know ht
Is about.
He is born leader and will have q
large following wherever he goes. LIE
