A French Matrimonial sw:ndle

The Court of Correctional Police,
Paris, was occupied recently with the
trial of Madame Eveline Leal, who
has been detected in carrying out an
extraordinary system of matrimonial
swindles. The prisoner, who asserts
she belongs to good English family,
is tall fair woman, about 80 years
of age, and still handsome. -
Her plan of operation was to insert
advertisements in papers stating that
lady, young, and possessing for
tune of 100000 francs, was desir-
Gus of marrying q nobleman or mer-
chant.
She received numerous replies, and
introduced herself to her dupes un-
der various names, either as an Eng
lish woman or as an American, and
the widow of an Amer can general.
After receiving from her suitors q
large number of gifts the total value
of which is estimated at ION 100000
to 100000 francs, she would disap-
pear and live luxuriously on the pro-
ceeds of her fraud. The swindling
career of Madame Leal was arrested
by sentence of six months impris-
onment, at the expiration of which
she will be expelled from French ter
'ritOrV.

The Lottery to End.

1t would appear by the following item
from Il recent issue of the New Orleans
Times Democrat that the suggestion in
several newspaper OF late, that the Louis
lana State Lottery Company intends setting
ND business elsewhere, is erroneous and
that it will close up shop on the expiration
OF its present charter.
In view of the contradictory rumors cir
culated regarding the intentions of the
Loui lana State Lottery Company and in
order to accurately answer numerous in
Quiries a representative of the IimeS-Dem-
0crat yesterday interviewed Mr., Paul Con-
rad, the president OF the company, with
the result expressed below.
RepoIter-Mr Conrad, it was asserted
some weeks ago in the Northern newSpap-
ers, and the statement has since been re-
vived recently, that the company is about
TO remove to Nicaragua, and there, under a
government franchise open up the buSl-
ness on grander scale than ever.
President Conrad---I have heard some
thing of this, but there is no foundation for
it. The company has officially stated that
it bows to the decision of the Supreme
Court and will respect the laws.
Reporter--Then have you 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
abtain q renewal of its charter. l can
only repeat that the company will continue
in business until the expiration of its pre-
sent charter and then cease TO exist. l
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 q finally Tor the satisfac-
ton OF the public?
President Conrad---None whatever.
Reporter-Some of the Eastern papers,
Mr.. Conrad, perSistenty 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 true?
President Conrad-It is utterly untrue.
We are obeying the law in its letter and
spirit, and our agents everywhere are in
strrcted to obey it; We are using the ex,
press companies only in our business, and
in all our circulars are printed instructions
to all persons dealing with US to avoid the

1t is now said the fire was of incendiary
origin. Tramps, OF which the.r were scores

from making effectual efforts in fighting
the fire. A wagon containlnG three barrels
