straightway four pairs OF lam bent green

the lights OF steamships in storm.
Heretofore the lions had been sluggish

FRAUDULENT LOTTERY SCHEMES
Clever Devices and Bogus Circulars by
which Many People are Being
Swindled.

NEW ORLEANS, La, June 2S, ls9i.-Since the
Louisiana State Lottery Company removed to
Honduras and resumed business under the
name OF the Honduras National Lottery Com
pany, the patrons of this great concern have
been eager bait for clever operators, and every
month thousands OF people are taken in by lot
terry schemes which purport to be the original
Louisiana State Lottery.
The modus operandi is to send bunch of
tickets TO some prominent person, inclosing a
complimentary ticket good for 5000. The party
is instructed to sell one-tifth of the ticket to
some other well-known prominent person, and
keep the other fifth for himself. Another con-
dilion is that the party must remit 500 In pay
ment for tickets, at least three days before the
drawing

gravely.
