II Mr.. Harte had been in doubt as to
his vocation before, that doubt was
now dispslled forever. Never vas \
more emphatic or questionable literary
succsss. That succcss began In the
composink room. when q female COM
poaitor revolted at the unaccustomed
comhination Of mental force, virility
and originality. No doubt. 1t was all
very sudden and unexpected: It shook
the editorial and composing room. the
business ONCE and limited number Of
worthy people who had seen "The
Luck" In manuscript, as they had never
been shaken save by the notorious Call
fornta earthquake. The climax was
precibitated when the Justly indignant
editor. whose motives. literary judg-
ment and good taste had been i'm
peached. declared that THE Luck Of
Roaring Camp" should appear in the
very next number OF the Overland
Monthly or he would resign his once.
Wisdom finally prevailed: the article
appeared. the overiand's success was
assured and its editor was famous.

Alleged Lottery Scheme.

A plan is on foot to engineer a lot
terry bill through the Nevada Legisla-
ture, says the San Francisco Post.
Money has already been raised to
promote the scheme, aud it is said
that an agent Of those behind it is al
ready at work il Carson City. This
is not the first time that the Leei,la-
ture Of Nevada has been asked to
grant a lottery license to certain in
dividuals, but previous propositions
OF this sort have been scorned by the
lawmakers of the sagebru~h State.
ln the present instance. however, it
is said that the local capitalists who
are behind the project have great
con1ldence in the accomplishing Of
their aim The easy manner in
which the friends Of Dan Stuart Sc
cured the passage Of the boxing bill
is believed to have first suggested the
lottery bill to its present promoters.
At any rate 10 difficulty was en-
countered in forming a syndicate in
this city and raising sufficient money
to send a representative over to the
neighboring State to feel the pulses Of
the Legislators.
According to the story which comes
from Nevada, Charles J. Bandman.
the local capitalits, whose office is in
the Croker building, is prominently
identified in the scheme, but when
seen this morning he denied all con-
nection with it. The bill which the
syndicate proposed to introduce pro-
vides for an exclusive franchise simi-
lar to the one existing for many years
In Louisiana and in consideration of
this privilege it is said the
will agree TO give $50, 600 t o the State
each year. From the same source
comes the information that the local
capitalists have already subscribed
800, 600 most of which is for ''operat-
ing expenses necessary to insure the
passage OF the BILL
AS far as the APPEAL is able TO learn
there is nothing in the above.
