The Lottery Obers the Law.

In view OF the contradictory rumorf
circulated regarding the intentions oil
the Louisiana State Lottery COMPANY
and in order to accurately answer num-
erous inquiries, representative of the
Times Democrat yesterday interviewed
Mr.. Paul Conrad, the president of the
company, with the result expressed be.

Reporter--Mr. Conrad, it was asserted
some weeks ago in the Northern news
papers, and the statement has since
been revived recently, that the company
ls about to remove to Nicaragua, and
there, under government franchise,
open up the business on grander scale
than ever.
President Conrad-I have heard some
thing OF this, but there is no foundation
Tor 1T. The company has officially stated
that 1t bows to the decision of the Su-
preme Court and will respect the laws.
Reporter-Then you have no plans OF
future action?
President Conrad-I cannot state the
case more strongly than was done at the
time the company decided not to attempt
to obtain renewal of ts charter. lean
only repeat that the company will con-
tinue in business until the expiration of
Its present charter and then cease to
exist. | cannot understand, after all
that has been said, why there should be
any confusion in the public mind about
the matter.
Reporter-Have you any objection to
my stating this as finally for the salts
faction of the public?
President Conrad-None whatever.
Reporter-Some of the Eastern papers.
Mr.. Conrad, persistently assert that the
lottery company continues to use the
United States mails in the prosecution
OF its business; will you kindly tell me
If that is true2
President tConrad-Iti is utterly untrue.

spirit, and our agents everywhere are
instructed to obey it. We are using the |

Why Leap Year?

To the inquiry why the leap years
are SO called there appears to be nc
satisfactory answer. What connec
ton, it may be asked and has been
asked, was the year or the added day
supposed to have with a leap or with
leaping9 Were these years regarded
as coming with leaps or bounds, as
contrasted with the steps or PAGES of
other years. Did days or years leap
over something, or were they them
selves somehow leaped over9 All
this seems matter for conjecture
and there is nothing left for us but
to fall back on the Century Diction.

edy. Risky for them. For you, il
you have Catarrh, it's n certainty.
You're certain to be cured of it, or
to be paid $500. That's what they
offer, and in good faith they cure
you, or pay you, no matter how bad
your case, or of how long standing.
But-is it SO much of a risk ?
They have a medicine that cures
Catarrh, not for a time, but for all
time. They've watched it for years,
curing tho most hopeless cases.
They know that in your case there's
every chance of success, almost no
chance of failure.
Wouldn't any one take such o
risk with such O medicine
The only question is-are you
willing to make the test, if the
makers are willing to take the
risk ?
If so, the rest is easy. You pay
your druggist fifty cents and the

A prominent citizen of Union Hill
boarded street car in Hoboken anr
handed Conductor Spencer n coin. Spen
Ger felt the milled edges, and, thinking
1t was a fifty cent piece, he put it in hi.
pocket without examining it and re.
turned forty-tive cents change, which
the other man quickly put in his pocket.
A few minutes later the conductor was
making change inside the car and dis.
covered that the supposed fifty cent piece
was $40 gold piece, He put it back in
his pocket and asked the Union Hill man
the denomination of the coin he had
given him. 1T was quarter" the
Union Hill man said.
II gave you twenty cents more than
you are entitled to-" Spencer remarked,
quietly.
The Union Hill man laughed. but did
not offer to return the change.
I'm satisfied if you are, said Spencer.
Nothing more was said until the car
reached the top of the hill at Weehawken
and the man had shown no sign of re-
turning the twenty cents Then Spencer
said;
"lf you keep my change I'll keep what
you gave me and call it square"
The Union Hill man put his hand In
his pocket and exclaimed; "By Jove!
gave you $40 gold piece"
You did" replied Spencer. "and you
intended to swindle me out of twenty
cents Here's your $40. but you don't
deserve to get it back"
The prominent citizen pocketed the
money and got off the car at the next
York Sun.

IN DEFENSE OF THE CHARTER.

Judge A. e. King, chairman of the
charter committee, comes out in a let
ter, published elsewhere in Tue TIMES,
in defense of the manner of it's adoption
by Council. His statement is a clear
and convincing presentation OF facts.
The charter, as q whole, is a strong
instrument and great improvement
over the present one. That is not per-
feet may be admitted, and the imperfec-
tions may and will be remedied before
the legislature. The amendment made
by Council to place the filling of vacan-
cies in that body in their own hands is
one, and others could be mentioned.
But the retention of single body to
legislate for the city is not an imperfec-
ton and is not so regarded by any con-
siderable number of citizens.
The Roanoke times. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1890-1895, 1892-01-15

heretofore. 1t was changed at the
meeting of Council, however, and this
is one of the changes which alluded to
while ago when stated that there
wero some made which, in my opinion,
were unfortunate for various and ap-
parent reasons. But, because it differe
from my views, was not disposed to
SET up as a Judge and pronounce that
everybody else was necessarily in the
wrong and necessarily did not know
what they were doing.
The other criticism is that the board
OF public works should not bo elected
by Council. am of opinion that Coun-
Gil did wisely in preventing the election
OF this board by general vote, as
Council is moro likely TO select three
mon, whose capabilities will balance
each other, than Il general vote
The criticism in regard to the bonded
indebtedness is perha is we'll taken.
Tho committee in this respect merely
followed out the act of the Legislature,
passed at the last session, which fixed it
at Is per cent. The only doubt about
the matter is that hereafter, at any
time in the future, il we should wish to
subscribe as an inducement for the Ral-
timore and Ohio or the Chesapeake and
Ohio, or any other road to come here, it
WOulu Do BISdb hlSlOrIuuS IL Wo Wero
prevented from doing so by prohibi-
ton in the charter, as we might lose
the road and thereby lose large in
crease in taxable values.
In conclusion, will say that it seems
TO me that all this talk about the citi-
zens not being represented and that the
citizens should do this, that. and the
other for the protection of themselves,
is uncalled for and unreasonable.
The citizens were represented by their
Council; they had an opportunity of
reading in the papers exactly what was
being done; they had an opportunity of
appearing before the committees and
making any objections or suggestions,
and they were further represented by
com mittee from the only organization
of business men in the city: and if they
chose to remain quiescent through all
the preparation and labor do not think
it comes with good grace for them to
criticise and abuse the gratuitous work
of those who have been diligently and
faithfully laboring for them.
The committee of the Council and the
com mittee of the Commercial Associa.
ton and the city solicitor, am sure, do
not object, nor have they ever objected,
to reasonable and well-tempered criti-
cism. They have always been glad to
hear the views of anyone and have the
criticisms of anyone, but they think
that their work is certainly entitled to
an investigation and fair criticism.

TO DISCUSS THE KENT BILL.

The Commercial Association will take
up and discuss the Kent bill at it's next
session Monday evening. The associa-
ton has come to the front strongly dur
ing the past four months as oonserva-
tor Of public opinion and as a
representative body. 1t has fairly and
fully represented public sentiment in
Roanoke and has fearlessly taken stand
on matters of public Importance.
For this reason its attitude on the
Kent bill will have strong significance,
for in representing Roanoke the asso-
citation will represent the sentiment of

two the Church of Rome loses two of its

was most alarming to Mrs. Turner. The
lady sat almost speechless for a moment
thinking that she was endangered by a
crank, probably New York dynamiter.
She whispered to her little daughter
to ask him if he wished to see her pa.
When the little girl spoke he still did
not discover his mistake. but said that
he boarded there. When Mrs. Turner
heard this she proceeded to inform him
In polite way that he was mistaken.
OF course Mr.. Crump was confused
