what President Conrad Has to say About
the Big Lottery.

What President Conrad Has to say About
the Big Lottery.
EEw ORLEANS, August 26.-President
Paul Conrad of the Louisiana Lottery
Company was interviewed to-day about
the dispatch regarding the company's
attempt TO purchase aslocation in the
Sandwich Islands. He said: "It is a
fake sensation pure and simple, or a
malicious concoction. designed perhaps
to prejudice the company in the minds
of the people of the United States by
creating the impression that our BUSH
ness IS to be removed from the legal re-
strictions and accountability it is now
under by virtue of the laws OF Louisiana.
Were the Louisiana State Lottery Com
pany to become Hawaiian instead of a
Louisiana concern, of course it would b.
practically an impossibility TO enforce
claims against it; whereas, being duly
chartered corporation of this State, it is
amenable to the laws. Obligations can
be enforced through the courts against it
the same as against any lawful and re-
sponsible company"
But what are the company's plans
for the future? Might not their negoti-
atoms be carried on without your knowl-
eage?"
Scarcely such vast sums as are talked
of are not carried in ones vest pocket
nor expended by one member OF con-
Germ without consulting his associates.
The owners of the Louisiana Lottery are
now scattered over the globe, seeking
peace or pleasure, according to their
condition or taste. Mr.. Morris, with
friends, have been for weeks cruising
alb, ut on his yacht, and doubt if any
one has communicated with him on
business of any description. Certainly
he is not giving himself any concern
about lottery business, and repeat
there is simply nothing in this alleged
San Francisco story except idle 'ssip SO
far as know, and think know all the
facts. The Louisiana Lottery Company
will live out it's allotted time as fixed by
it's vested rights, say couple of wears
longer, doing its business here as it al
ways has and abiding by the popular oe-
cision in the recent contest. New York
Times, August 81, 1892.

There are other things of which people
can De robbed which are OF fully as much
value as those that attract street thieves
or burglars, and there is one kind of robber
whose thefts are never ce;lsing and yet do
not bring him before judge.
This thief is the one who steals peoples
satisfaction and comfort and pleasure at
every turn by giving free play to his sar-
castle, grumbling or sighting spirit on all
occasions. To be sure. he is his own worst
enemy. but so are all thieves for that
matter
What a good concert that was?" says
some enthusiastic music lover who has
just had a, to her, rare treat.
Did you think so?" asks the thief
scornfully. why, there was hardly a
difficult piece on the programme, and all
those things have been played by fine plan
lists as mere bagatelles / wonder that the
audience sat so patiently"
Then the enthusiast feels her ardor
dampened, and is perhaps even a little
ashamed of it.
"There! says the small boy of the fam
lily, his cheeks flushed with triumph, I've
guessed the first five puzzles in my new
book, and it's only taken me about an
hour'
II should think that was long enough,
in all conscience" says the thief, in biting
tone. They're as simple as A B c.
guessed them in less than ten minutesw
So the flush of triumph in the little puz-
zler's face gives place to a glow of mortifi-
cation.
There are great many of these thieves
in the world, and the strangest thing about
them is that they do not want what they
steal.-Youth's Companion.

Arctic Exploring Not Dangerous.

The popular notion is that Arctic explor-
ing is very risky pursuit, but in reality
it is not 50. Fishing on the Grand Banks
is much more dangerous. AS Mark Twain
says: The greatest peril which people en-
counter is not met with in travelling on the
railways, but in going to bed. Most people
die in bed" Only three expeditions out of
the many which have been made have in
volved loss of life.

Rock Hewn Caves IS Homes.

Mr.. ]. Hoskyns Abrahall relates
that when visiting Monte Vulture,
and while a guest of Signor Bozza, at
Barih, having expressed surprise at
learning the number of inhabitants
in the place, his host told him that
the poor lived in caves followed out
of the side of the mountain, and took
him into one of the rock hewn dwell

istence by the facility with which
they are formed. w. Fl. Larabee in

little animal TO five-year-old relative,
who opened a conversation with me on the

the little lions claws and teeth, his curious
attempt at a roar, his soft fur, how he

void in the line of the strictly useful,

may be by the score, but the experience of
the Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia
shows that the mass of these were mere
trities and unserviceable. The horde of
visitors were ever at loss for handy pocket

what is wanted of this unique kind has

The fourteen magnificent structures are
faithfully exhibited, while the Bird's-eye
