Lottery Scheme Defeated.
New York Letter.


The distinguished company Of New
York, Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago
doctors who have just opened near Cum
berland Gap the Hotel of the Four Sea-
sous, which they actually expect in time
to attract rich people from all over the
world, just as Nice, Monte Carlo, Baden
Baden and Carlsbad DO. have recently
been subjected to remarkable tempta-
ton in which the lottery was 10 play 8
part They were offered the opportunity
to make their new health resort ner Har-
rogate, Tenn. a rival of Monte Carlo in
more senses than one. They refused
TO permit sale de jeu to be
opened there, however. under any
circumstances, although 4 subsidy of five
millions, enough to pay for the expense
of building and equipping both their hotel
ami sanitarium, WAS offered. DR.. Alfred
Cooper, OF London; DIR. Pepper. OF Fhlia-
deluhia, and Drs. Loomis and Hamilton,
of New York. are among the directors IN
this, one of the most astounding enter
prises Of the day Just how the lottery
people expected TO FIX the laws OF len
nessee is not known. But one of their
schemes is reported 10 have been the com
plete and luxurious equipment with cleo
trio lights, carpets, tapestries, gaming
tables and staiuary of an enormous cavern,
as big as the Mammoth Cave, which opens
near Harrogate on Tennessee, but
stretches under the Cumberland noun
tains far into Kentucky.

unsurveyed, all is more or less heavily
covered with timber. ALI theSe great
forests, with the exception of about 5000
000 acres, are awaiting settlement and San
be utilized.
What will now interest business men is
the evidence that the present prosperity
and progress of the state is likely to lest.
shall briefly point to the indications
which afford promise of continued pros
perity. Railroad extension for the ensu-
ing year and years to come will provide q
market for the products of still larger
areas of these districts, until every section
of the state, new and old, is populous and
thriving.
The Census of 1880 gave Washington a
population of SIG. The census of 1890
shows it to be 349, SIG, an increase at the
of the rapfdity of increase in population
is afforded by the fact that Washington is
the only state in the Union whose census
total exceeded the estimate.
The property valuation of the state in
creased 100 per cent. in two years. In 1889
it was placed by the state board of equali-
cation at S124, 795, 449; in 1890 it was of
ficially declared for purposes of taxation
to be $22l, 44s, 1876, an increase
increase of property valuation up to
that time had been gradual and not re-
markable. A few millions additional each
YER had responded to the toll of early set
tiers with OK teams and plows, but with
the advent of railroads came an extraor-
binary increase. From 1856 to 1887 it was
$4,000 900; next year it was SIS, 900. 600;
next year it was $4,000, 900, and the next
year QS90) it was SOC, 900, 600.
The growth of the state has been very
general throughout, because the sources Of
its wealth extend over considerable area,
and the opening up of coal mines and tim
Der lands has, by the immigration of labor
and a constant demand for supplies, en-
HANGED the value of the land proportion
ateiy.
A notable feature of the development
of the state has been the growth of
urban population. Railroad construc-
ton has directly affected almost all
the cities and has caused a degree
of activity never before known.
Public Improvements in the way of
sewerage and public buildings are reported
in all the more important towns and
cities. The number of new buildings,
business and residence, has been enor-
mously increased. The advancement of
Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane, Olympia,
Ellensburg, Fairhayen and other cities,
and especially the. first three, has been
phenomenal.
1t is not generally known how the three
largest cities of Washington rank as re-
CARDS population. Seattle is the largest
and most important and ranks above any
city in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas,
Florida, Idaho, Kansas, Maine, Missis-
sippi, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico,
North Carolina, North Dakota, South d.
kota, Texas, Vermont and West Virginia.

Rich Widows Who Are Little Known.
New York Letter

Some of the richest widows in the coun-
try the world knows the least of. And
among these are some who do the world a
great deal of good, too. Every city has its
wealthy widows, and if you look over the
glitterIng galaxy they will in most cases
be found to be women of rare good sense,
managing their affairs with judgment and
bearing themselves in q very proper way
before the world. The fact that woman
is a rich mans widow is always something
to her credit. Men who do not have good
wives to help them in the W orld's strife
rarely have the chance to leave rich
widows. How often do the people of New
York hear of Mrs. Schenley, of Pittsburg
Yet she is worth 500 900, according to
the estimates of those who know where
her property is and the value of it.

of Hartford has two or three rich women,
and one of them, Mrs. Leonard Church.

ladies is worth from 81 go, COO to So, 000. Coo
Mrs. Joseph Harrison, whose hus-
band built the first railroad in

lie gaze, is Americas own Mrs. Josephine

continues to dazzle Paris with her dia-
monds, swell equipages and princely en-
tertainments. Mrs. Aver is our best ex-
ample of lady who is away from home,

Arland this week commenced the work of
preparing the ground for the race track
and ball grounds which he is to build here.
The track will be located on the twenty
five acres, half mile from this city. A
regulation half-mile track will be built
and all the necessary buildings erected. 1t
IS the intention to put the ground in first
class condition, and the lay of the land
and character of the soil assures fast
track. There is no better place in the

eight inches from the top of the posts.
Between these two wires may be placed
one or two rails, making fence which the
Crackers would term as "hog tight and
bull strong" Hogs cannot pass under
the first wire, cattle will fear the upper
string, and even though the rails be broken
away the wires will forbid any rashness in
jumping through. Farmers, try it. Such
fence can be built at the cost of about 90
cents per rod.

ROD AND GUN CLUB SHOOT.
Some Good Scores Made-Team Shoot
With Tacoma Proposed.

The Seattle Rod and Gun Club held its
FIRST regular practice shoot at the club
grounds in West Seattle yesterday after
noon. The attendance was good, the
weather favorable, the traps in excellent
working order, so all combined to produce
fine days sport. The best score in one
match was made by A. K. Churchill, who
killed the entire string of ten birds in the
second shoot. The next best scores were
made by Joseph Hardy, who dropped
nine out of ten in the third match,
and W. A. Hardy, who took nine
straight in the fourth and failed on
the last bird. F. Weber shot well, scor-
Ing in two different trials. and killed AZ
out of 20 birds. Herbert Haven was out
for the first time this season, and his
small score was in great measure due to
want of practice.
1t is expected that team shoot will be
held one week from today between repre-
sentatives of Seattle and Tacoma.
Following are the scores of each of the
nine matches. 10 birds comprising the

about $500, coo in dime museums during
the past ten years. all of which becon.e s

for the amount.

cy, who is a brother Of Henry Arthur

in London. 1t will probably be heard
in this country next season.

he has again assumed management of a
first class minstrel company. with the
brightest prospects for success and pros

Evans and Hoey will part at the end Of
the season. 1t is said that their rela-
tons lately have not been pleasant, and
that IA lawyer has been consulted about
settling their affairs.
1t is now definitely decided that VIII
son Barrett will visit America next sea-

January, 1888, and will probably pro-
duce his ''Othello," which, like his
Hamlet will be g~orgeously staged
