/" Nothing venture, nothing gain" was the
motto Constine koures adopted when he left
Greece to settle in America, BY sticking close
to this resolution he is to day $1,000 richer than
he was last week. The Honduras National Lot
terry louisiana State Lottery is responsible for
Mr., koures' sudden wealth, and there is quite
an interesting story connected with his good
fortune.
koures is from the nobility and owing to some
difficulty at home he came tn America Here
he commenced life as peddler and soon found
himself in Cleveland, Ohio without cent in
his pocket. He remembered Il countryman in
Chicago, one OF the firm Of Munosus. MNzarokos
& Co, al South Water street.
The only way TO reach Chicago was to walk
and this Koures did, One of the firm gave him
s. TO get something to eat aud procure clean
clothes koures hestated and instead of buy
ing food invested the s. in five tickets i'll the
Honduras National Lottery.
To-day he received by express 81 900, one-ffth
of the second capital prize OF 10000 in the
drawing of June 70. Koures can speak but little
English, but he told a reporter for The DISPATCH
that the $4,000 would be invested in the fruit
business. He was highly elated over his good
fortune and he said he thought he now had the
basis for large fortune. He declares that he
will continue to buy Honduras National Lottery

WORSE THAN ST. PETERSBURG.

The Lexow Prosecutor Gives Old Gotham
Very Rough Reputation.
You may be surprised when say that
New York under the rule of the police de-
partment was far worse as re-
CARDS the individual comfort of citizens
than st. Petersburg under the most vio-
lent police regime. This was accidentally
illustrated by n witness who took the
stand one day. He was a Pole who had
been sent to Siberia as q result of the Pol
ish insurrectiOn. He had escaped and
reached this country, and about a year
after his arrival he was unjustly arrested
and cruelty beaten. His story was told
with an irresistible quaintness and pa
thos. When he was asked how
the police of New York compared with
those of st. Petersburg he answered that
the Russian police are gentle and humane
compared with those of our city.
'As an illustration of the tremendous
power welded by this organization l will
refer to the difficulty we had in obtaining
witnesses to go upon the stand and swear
to facts that they had brought to us in
private. AT first this applied to all classes,
both reputable and disreputable. When
appealed to they would claim that if they
should testify the police would hound
them out of the city. When asked if they
could not go elsewhere and establish them
selves in business, they would reply that
the persecution of the police of New York
follow them to every city in the country.
''Thc lower classes of citizens were made
to believe that blackmail was lawful and
regular. They came to consider the cap
tain of their precinct as the source of all
municipal authority. In effect he was
such to them. You ask me if think this
power is now crushed. 1 do, most en-
phatically. l think that the public con-
science, having once been aroused, the
machinery of this nauseous system ex-
posed, will bc perpetual bar against the
development of such an organization in
the future. / consider the great danger to
our form Of government lies in the possi-
bility of municipal misrule.
'CentraliZation, believe, as this in
vestigation has proved, is the danger of
the day. believe that the example Of
New York will serve to check this
tendency toward corruption and police
domination. cannot answer the aues-
tiOn as to where the blackmail money
went or in what proportions it was dis
tributed, for that is personal matter
which would force me to mention names.
Nor can tell you just what lines the COM
mittee will take upon the resumption of
Its work a week from next Monday.
