ite of fortune, for twice within twelve
years he has on an investment of 81 each

reliable lottery in America. Mr.. Holt
held one-half of ticket No. rs, Ala in the
drawing of the Louisiana State Lottery
company, held at New Orleans in March,
1888. This ticket drew the capital prize
of $50, 600. Whole tickets were at that
time worth 81 each. Mr.. Holt, who had
purchased a one half ticket for 81, re-

by Mr.. Holt for 81. But let Mr.. Holt tell
his experience with the Louisiana State
Lottery company and its successor, the
Honduras National Lottery company. as
he recited it to a Sporting News repre-
sentative who visited him. Said he:
"a little over twelve years ago bought
my first ticket in the Louisiana State
Lottery. | did not despair when l exam
ined the list and found that had not
drawn anything, but persevered. On my
third investment of 81 | drew SIS, 900.
There was no delay in the collection of
my ticket. 1t was paid promptly. l con-
tinued to buy tickets regularly each
month with varying success. winning in
small sums far more than ever invested.
But did not again succeed in winning a
part of the capital prize until last Janu-
ary. l found the Honduras National
Lottery Company as fair and prompt in
its dealings as the old Louisiana State
Lottery and on January 29th | received a
draft for $15.0 Such record is guar
antee that the Honduras National Lottery
Company is all that it claims to be.

as l live. and expect to win another capt.
tai prize before I die. | had $50 worth of
tickets in the February drawing and

Rev. c. L. Oehler
Tn. woman's Home and Foreign Missionary
Society Meets at the Same
Time and Place

The California synod of the Lutheran
church opened its business meeting with
the reading of the report by the retiring
president, Rev. NJ. ii. Stine. The off GERS
for the ensuing year were then elected
us follows:
President, Rev. C. W. Maggart of San
Diego; secretary, Rev. Q. f. Oehler Of
Sacramento; treasurer, Mr.. John Everd-
ing OF San Francisco.
The California synod is the youngest
body in the general synod having been
organized only four years ago.
The Lutheran church in the United
States numbers 1880, 422 mem bers, being
the third numerically among the denom-
nations.
The routine work of the synod was tax
EN- up and much business disposed OF with
dispatch. Perhaps the most interesting
part of the session was the reading OF the
parochial reports, which are an epitomc
of the work done in the synod during the
year. These showed that commendable
progress had been made. ST. Matthews
Lutheran church of San Francisco was
admitted into the synod.
The lecture last night by the Rev. Z.
F.Oehler of Sacra nento was intensely in-
teresting, being illustrated by eighty
mission fields of the church. The speaker
rapidly sketched in the pioneer work of
foreign lands and literally took his audi
ence from Greenland's S icy mountains to
India's coral strands.
Mission work is being done by the
Lutherans IN every land under the sun,
not only on the continents, but in the
isles of the sea. and from the darkest cor
ners of the earth to the places where
every prospect pleases and only man is
vile" The work OF Christ is moving on
under the loyal banner carried by faith

of the Reformation, DR.. Martin Luther,

55. 000 600 people, who are loyal to the
cross of Christ and the evangelization OF
the world.

nature, and the audiences are both enter
tanned and edited. The sessions today
will be taken up with reports on the work
of home and forei IN missions and church
extension, with addresses at night on
Home Missions by Rev. J. S. Moser of
Riverside, and one on Church Extension
by Rev. J. f. Bushnell of Oakland The
session will continue throughout the
week and the public will be cordially wei
coined.

Another big crowd attended the Columbia
Athletic Club carnival last night and en-
joyed itself hugely, because 1t was the even
ing which the families Of the club members
and their friends had chosen for the purpose
Of making distinctive visit to the enter
tainment, and accordingly, everybody knew
everybody else. The entertainment in the
gymnasium was as enjoyable as usual, and
the presence of brass band in place of a
string orchestra made things livelier if pos
sible. than on preceding nights. The club
members repeated the interesting chair
pyramids which have proven so popular
with the carnival crowds and Master Hardy
Cabrera gave excellent exhibition of
what very small boy could do on a bicycle.
Miss Edna Thornton performed rose dance
very prettily, and in the living pictures Miss
Bessie Cook posed as 'Nydia, the Blind
Girl and Mrs. Hempstone, Miss Norton
and Miss Fauntleroy appeared as THE

The United States Will Take No Ac-

The United States VIII Take No Ac-
ton on 1t.
The steamship City Of Pekin has arrived
at San Francisco, from Yokohama and Hon
| olulu. bringing the following advices to the
Associated Press:
HONOLULU, Dec ember 6.-The merchants
of Seattle, Wash. have made an offer to the
Hawaiian planters. They are willing to fur
| nish a site for sugar refinery, remit state
and county taxes for term of ten years and
offere other inducements The idea is to
ship raw sugar to Seattle ard refine 1t there,
| the vessels returning with merchandise or
freight. If the offer is accepted it will be
severe blow to San Francisco which now
virtually controls the Hawaiian trade.
No definite news has been received from
J. B. Anterior, c. NJ Cook and H. P. Bald
VIM the committee sent by the Hawaiian
planters to make a new agreement with the
sugar trust. According to the present con-
tract the. trust buys the entire sugar crop
of the Hawaiian Islands at the price pre-
vailing in New York, with certain commits
sions added. Unless the planters gain their
point. an acceptance of Seattle's offer is
within the range of possibilities.
Minister Willis has informed this govern
ment that the United States will not take
action on a claim of $4,000 damages made
by one Frank Godfrey to the American Sec
rotary " State. Godfrey's demand for dam
ages contained two complaints, one being
that he was detained at the cholera hospital
twenty-four hours longer than the period
generally observed. The second was that in
September last he was assaulted by masked
men and tarred and feathered by them.
Affioavits sustained the second charge.
The Hawaiian government was informed
by Minister Willis that the first charge by
Godfrey was not sent to Washington, hav-
ing been dropped here So far as the second
charge is concerned the American govern
ment made reply that 1t was a matter solely
for the local courts to act upon, and that
the complaint would not be given recogDi-
ton at Washington.
No mention was made of citizenship but 1t
is believed that the American government is
cognizant of the fact that Godfrey has sub
scrihed to the oath Of allegiance to the re-
public ard is qualified voter under its laws

that there Is more wire-pulling in the
Federation convention in connection with
the coming election than in any out-and-
out political convention"
The remark brought out half a dozen de-
cidedly personal replies. in which it was
charged that the words Of the Denver del

United States Senator George Gray of
Delaware yesterday spoke as follows of the
late Judge Thurman:
I'm the death Of Mr.. Thurman passes
away one of the most Interesting figures in
public life. He was one of the best types
of public men that our institutions have
produced. Democratic in the best sense of
the Word-courageous. patriotic and able.
The contribution made by such a man to
his country's history must always remain
for coed, and its influence will be felt long
after his DEATH Every community and
every country is stronger for having such
men in it, d.
Ex-senator Edmunds, one of the earliest
political associates of Allen G. Thurman.
expresses a most heartfelt sorrow at the
death of his old friend.
Il had Hoped" said he, that he would
have recovered from his illness. We were
intimate for many years. and 1 always en-
tertained a most tel der regard for him.
He was a pure and upright man. and left
a good impression everywhere. AS to his
ability, he was confessedly the peer of any
one on the democratic side of the Senate"
Ex-senator John ]. ingalls, said: Il served
in the Senate with Mr.. Thurman from 1873
to 1881. He was the acknowledged leader
of his party in that body. and while his
democracy was pure and undefiled, he was
not bigot. and his relations with his re-
and cordial good fellowship. His courtesy
was inherent and not acquired: his temper
was genial and his good humor never ruff
fled. Having served on the bench, his in
clination was judicial. and his authority
upon questions Of constitutional law was
not question ed"
Henry Watterson Of Louisville spoke feel
ingly of Judge Thurman's death He said:
Il knew the Old Roman all my life, but
became mere intimately acquainted with
him when he and I were members of the
electoral commission in the Hayes-Tilien
trouble. His presence in the Senate during
the twelve years he sat there was an un-
mixed benefit to the whole country. He
had great experience, great moderation and
great learning, and received the homage
and the universal respect Of both sides of
the Senate chamber. 1 can only say that
the death Of Judge Thurman. although not
unexpected to me, distressed me greatly,
for 1 not only had the most genuine adj
miration for his character and talents, but
the sincerest affection for him as a man."
