OLOF WAS IN LUCK.
And So Were Hundreds of Holders of
Winning Tickets.


Pm in luck this time and there Is no
doubt about it. said Olof Mattson of 400
East street. San Francisco, as he cashed
ticket 1880 of tile January drawing
OF the Original Little Louisiana Lottery
Company. Then he counted his money
second time to see that 1t was
all there, and being satisfied he placed
$3.50 In bright gold twenties In a strong
sack and started for the nearest bank. ac-
companied by several friends who acted as
an escort and guard.
Mr.. Mattson had bought only a quarter
ticket and he openly regretted that he had
not invested dollar. instead of % cents, so
that his prize might have been $4,000.
But he IS not greedy man and is more
than pleased with the luck that Dame For
tune has dealt him.
Scores of others were also made happy
and prosperous by the January drawing, as
the following list OF prize winners will
show: No. $3.50. quarter ticket, paid to
w. j. Douglas of Alto, Utah Ter. $3.50

TWO CHINESE, ONE WHITE
They Engage in the Business of High
way Robbery.

way rODDSIy.
About 80 o'clock yesterday morning. on
Dupont street. Ho Gan, Chinese high
binder. met NJ Lawson, a sailor on the
schooner Ivy, who lad been uptown having
a good time. The street was deserted, and
Lawson was heplessly drunk, so the Willy
HO Gan proceeded to roll him into a con-
venient doorway, where he went through
his pockets, taking all the money and valu-
ables he had. Fortunately Officer Furong
and posse happened along about that time
and Ho Gan was arrested and locked NJ.
While Ho Gan was holding up the sailor
on Dupont street another highbinder was
walking along Pine street looking for a vic
tim, and he found one in the person of Al
bert Johnson, a plumber, who lives al II
Oak street. Johnson was also under the
influence of liquor, and All Lee proceeded
10 throw him to the sideW ak and search
him. but was disappointed, for the plum Der,
hard as 1t is 10 believe. was broke. Officer
l.. c. Clark caught All Lee aud locked him
up.
James Kelly, white man, met Frank
Smith, young mechanic, aged a. and liv-
ing at 1875 Howard street, on Kearny street
along about o'clock Yesterday morning and
asked him for six bits. Smith, after some
parley, agreed TO give Kelly the money and
put his hand into his pocket TO get II.
Kelly then concluded that Smith was IAN
easy game" since lie was so willing TO give
up his money, and concluded to rob him,
which he did, taking some three or four
dollars in silver from bis pocket. Kelly
was soon after captured and with Smith
brought to the station, the latter being held
as a witness.
The police are somewhat anxious over the
Doldness OF the Chinese highbnders of late
1t is seldom Chinese will pluck up enough
courage to rob white man unless he does
1t by sneak-theyery, and when they resort
to highway robbery in the streets their cir
cumstances must be desperate indeed. The
stories OF great poverty and restitution in
Chinatown are believed TO be true and the
Chinese tramps are being forced into des-
perate measures to relieve their wants.

Attempt at Suicide.
1t Might Have Been Prevented.
from the Boston Post. ]

While the walks in the Public Garden
were crowded yesterday afternoon about
43O o'clock. people near the entrance gates
at the corner of Beacon and Charles streets
were Mortified to see a man suddenly plunge
knife repeatedly into his throat and fall to
the ground.
While waiting for conveyance an officer
questioned the would-be suicide, who was
about so years of age, as to his name, address,
and reason for wishing to end his life, but
the man steadfastly refused to give any infor
nation regarding himself. He was taken 10
the Massachusetts General Hospital and
surgical attendance given him. Although
weak from loss of blood it is probable he
will recover. About o'clock last night a
hospital attendant got little information
from him. He said his name was Samuel
D., and that he came some weeks ago
from New Brunswick. The last few days
has head has felt queer, and he has been wan
dering about the city, not knowing which way
to turn. What impeled him TO commit his
rash act he was unable to say.
The above is the familiar but terrible
story of the results of mental arrangement
caused by overstrain of the nervous system.
People who have dizziness, headache or back
ache, or who are troubled with melancholy or
despondeat feelings, are already well on the
road which leads to insanity and suicide.

At the opening Of the Bible class Of Mrs.

Exposition. on THE kindergarten as a Pre-

are sowing seed broadcast and extending

Mrs. Cooper said: "Our lesson is on the
spirit OF the Lord. This work among the

bring out, of which We do not now so much
as dream. The noblest part OF our nature
is but feebly developed at best. We are
like tropical plants in frigid zones. Our
possibilities are frozen up. We need the
warm rays of the sun OF righteousness to
beckon forth flowers and fruitage. God is
waiting 10 give these rays; but lei us not
forget that the sun shining on sand will
leave only sand STILL" In lively discussion
that followed reference was made to tho
