| What the Lottery Will Do and Will
Not Do.
The new fakirs having tired of setting mn
imaginary lottery schemes in Nicaragua.
changed their field of operation. The fol-
lowing was recently sent over the country,
among other papers the Brooklyn Standard
Union giving it publication:
REJECTS THE LOTTERY.
New ORLEANS, March 8.-The Picayune's
City of Mexico special says: Honduras. has
refus d concessions to the Louisiana
State Lottery. Gen. Jesus Tolego died
here this morning. Forty-seven Mexican
generals have died since February Z.
On being shown the above. President
Paul Conrad, somewhat Indignantly and
very emphatically declared: ut is not true
that the Louisiana State Lottery Company
has made application to Honduras or to
any other foreign country, for lottery priv
ileges. nor has any such overture been
made on behalf of this company, its share
holders or managers.
'sWe shall continue to conduct our bust.
ness here until the present charter of the
Louisiana State Lottery Company expires
in 1895. Simply that and nothing more.
POSTMASTER Eaton's statement in the
Globe Democrat. that this company accepts
the situation as defined by the courts. in
good faith, is absolutely correct.-New

No Economy. No Means.

%stinginess is u curse to the individ.
ual ruled by it; but thoughtless prod
igality is no virtue. The individual
who does not and will not practice
economy, is pretty liable to find, at
length, that he has nothing either to
prodigal with, or to practice economy
upon. That eccentric but wise-leaded
old philosopher, Diogenes, once taught
this lesson to another in way pecul-
iarly his own.
Diogenes, begging, as wasthe custom
among many philosophers OF ancient
times, asked a prodigal man for more
than any n else. A bystander, see
ing this, said to him.
81 see your business, that when you
find q liberal mind, you make the most

meaning that the prodigal man would
soon have nothing to give.

your sufferings from Catarrh.
That is, if you go about it in tho
right way.
There are plenty of wrong ways,
that perhaps you've found out.
They may relieve for a time, but
they don't cure.
Worse yet, they may drive the
disease to the lungs. You can't
afford to experiment.
But there IS a right way, and a
sure way, hat does cure. Thou
sands of otherwise hopeless cases
have proved it. It's with DR.. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy. BY its mild,
soothing, cleansing and healing
properties, it permanently cures the
worst chronic cases. Catarrhal
Headache, "Cold in the Head -
everything catarrhal in its nature,
is cured as if by magic.
It's a way so sure that the pro-
prietors of Dr. Sage's Remedy
offer, in good faith, $500 for a
case of Catarrh which they can
not cure.
If it's sure enough for them to
make the offer, it's sure enough
for you to make the trial.
They risk $500. What do you
risk?

accompanied by her father, her moth
er, and two friends, while my two old
comrades, who had assisted at the
tying of my pretty love-knot, came,
with saddened faces, to witness the
severing OF the bond.
A stiff bow, exchanged at the begin-
ming and the end OF the ceremony, was
the only farewell between two beings
who for years had never had a.
thought that was not shared. Wesat
on u bench, where, five minutes before
had been a smiling bridal pair, and l
felt within me an agitation that was
painful; there seemed to be a tension
at my heart as if my whole being were
about to be racked ithtorture. Was
it possible that my companion and
confident, the woman who had con-
soled and encouraged me in all my
trials, the woman l had loved so long
and so dearly, could witness without
regret, without a thought OF the sweet
past, the sundering of the bond that
had united us.
My glance wandered round the
room, from the ugly moulding OF the
cealing to the pictures on the wall,
but suddenly it rested on q graceful
head, withssott dark hair, which 1 had
not seenfor fourmonths, and, through
the meshes OF my wife's veil, l saw
two sparkling tear-drOps.
"She too, remembers and regets,"" l
thought; perhaps she could forgive"
calais if we two could have been
alone at that moment. But close be-
side her was the pale stern face of her
father and the determined one OF her
mother, those two had, from the very
beginning OF the trouble watched her
jealousy. l had tried every means OF
having an interview with Helen, but
my letters had been intercepted, my
messengers turned away, and u on.
ly meeting had been in the presence OF
a magistrate, an utter stranger, who
with the best intentions, had by his
cold formality made matters even
worse.
Since that day I have not entered
my home. But now, on leaving the
mayors office, 1 went to the house to
pack up my clothes. l knew that
could not live there alone among the
memories of my vanished happiness,
so 1 resolved to travel, and thus fly
from all that could remind me OF my
wife and home. A mutual friend ar
ranged the details ofthe matter; Twas
to spend the night in the house, and
the next morning Babette, my only
child, would be allowed to come and
breakfast with me, At three O'Clock
I was to leave; at four, Helen would
come and take away her belongings;
and t~wenty-four hours later the house
would be "To Lett party OF work
men would come and put it in order
for the next tenant, and then it would
be left empty and desolate, an image
of my life.

Let US be friends we may not now be more:

For all my pain. Speak as you did before

AN AWFUL ASSAULT.
william Rahmstorf is Stopped in
the Dark and Shametully
Ahuaed

About 5 o'clock last night William
RahmSLorf, with his little daughter, took
cemetery car at JoSke'S corne and
started out to attend a birthday ami
verSary. When they had gone as far as
they desired on the car they ordered the
conductor 10 stop and they got off. When
they had reached the side walk on East
Con merce street, a man run up, being o..
A. Sp'elhagen, and, with au oath on his
lips, grabbed RahmStorf by the neck, at
The same time giving him a blow between
the eyes which knocked him down. The
intruder then jumped on top of him and
began pounding him with a rock in the
face. Loud cries for help were sounded
by the abused man. and the more he cried
the harder the blows came. The little
seven year old daughter, with the love a
child has for parent, seeing that her
father was almost killed. attempted to
aid him and pleaded with tears in her
eyes for the release Of her papa. Spiel
hagen became angry at her and gave her
severe blow on the head, causing her to
fall. The man. after diSfguring his vic
tins face so badly that he could hardly be
recognized. left them and went on his
way rejoicing. A doctor was sent for and
after he arrived and treated the case, Mr..
X. and his little daughter were taken
home in hack.
Several weeks ago RahmStorf filed suit
in the district court against his wife for
divorce, on The grounds OF abandonment,
etc. Spielhagen is brother of the wife
and the cause Of his assault on Rahmstorf
is probably due to the fact that trouble
had existed in the family.
This morning Mr.. Rahmstorf made
three atfidavits against Spielhagen in
Justice Herron's court, one for willful
assault with intent to kill, another for
striking his seven year old child,
and the last to have him placed under a
peace bond. Spielhagen was placed under
a g., 900 bond to answer to the charges
preferred against him.

In the case of Charles Walter. the Sus-
pected cholera case in San Antonio, the
State health officer properly states. to
make a diagnosis of this case, a micrOS-
cOpic examination should have been
made of the dejecta. As this method is
the only true means to come to a correct
conclusion in regard TO cholera ASiatica
or cholera nOStraS. why were the deiecta
not examined? Will any person calling
himself a physician assert, that an au-
tOpSy is of any purpose in such cases? The
facts in this case have proven it is not.
Why should we. by opening the abdOmi-
nal cavity in case Of suspected danger,
in"rpasn the possibilities of injection?
The State health officer, and the board
Of health of the city of San Antonio.
have proven in this case that they are
not efficient all mutual admiral ton to the
contrary Notwithstanding. To doubt
and suspect is not in conformity to the
dignity of science, If, as we have in this
case, the means to positively ascertain
the character of a disease by a proper
microscopic examination of the dejecta,
why. we ask again, was it not made In
this instance, when we know that an au-
tOpSe will prove nothing positive. as
illustrated in the proceeding afore said:
A true soldier will bravely face the foe
and the dangers of battle, but it is dis
heartening for him to know that he is led
by inefficient officers How can the citi
zens feel about this proceeding? Surely
not more assured and less alarmed than
before. As concerns the condition of ouI
