Drawings usually took place three
times month. For each $4,000 tickets
were offered for sale at ten dollars each
for the entire ticket, or so cents each
for any one of the 20 sections into which
it was subdivided. Three-quarters. of
the receipts were distributed in pre-
miums and one-quarter was retained
by the government. which took also all
prizes drawn on unsold tickets. The
first prize at each drawing was $50. 900.
From that amount they ranged down
to 500 prizes of $50 each.
By complicated system Of agencies
that reached to every village in Cuba
lottery tickets were for sale every
where. These agents hired sub-agents
to peddle tickets in the streets and pub
lie places.
One of the favorite methods for re-
concentrate children to earn q. few
cents day was to sell tickets for some
sub-agent. Their shrill voices crying:
Good numbers, sure to win prizes,"
could be heard on every corner. Lot.
terry tickets were far more easy to OBJ
tain in Havana than postage stamps.
It is scarcely an exaggeration to say
that every one over IS years of age in
Cuba played the lottery. In every posi-
ton of the mercantile. professional, or
social life of the island one found the
same green and purple tickets, with
their big black numbers.-ChicagoI In,

THE LOTTERY IN HAVANA.
End - One Of Cuba's lnstttuttOss
Through the lnvastOn of
Americans.

One Of the most clearly marked in
dications of the coming of American,
rule In Cuba is the passing Of the Ha-
vana lottery. According to the govern
ment schedule the next drawing should
be held soon. but the exact date has not
yet been advertised, and it is accepted
as a foregone conclusion by almost
every one that before that time arrives
LOS Yaniis" will have interfered and
driven the lottery from Cuba forever.
The two institutions which always
best illustrated the state of the public
conscience and character in Cuba were
the bullfght and the lottery. While the
bullfight was national and additionally
sacred. it was never governmental or
political. Its existence could be ter
minated by a single edict. But with the
lottery it was different, for this gam
bling institution was one Of the chief
Cuban sources of revenue for the Span
ish crown.
The lottery here was government
institution just as much as was the GUS
tom-house or post Office. Its profits
were the most infallible of the indirect
taxes. Its management and operation
constituted one of the departments of
the colonial administration. Every
one of the million pesos that were an
nually derived from the Havana lottery
was turned over to the secretary of tho
treasury, which is another way of say
ing that they were sent to Spain. be-.
cause the idea of spending in Cuba any
of the revenues that came from the is
land has always been entirely foreign
to the Spanish theory of governing.
The Havana lottery was founded in
1912 by government decree, which at
the same time prohibited private lot
teries and all other forms of gambling
in Cuba. In country where there were
neither stock exchanges nor bookmak-
ers. the only vent for the gaming spirit,
always strong in the Latin race. was
the government lottery, which has done
thriving business ever since it started.
1t is a difficult matter to ascertain
the exact amount of revenue that has
been obtained from the lottery, because
both its prizes and income have from
time to time been paid in gold or silver
or paper currency, as the price of the
different kinds of money was most adj
vantageous for the government.
The accounts were last kept on gold
basis in 1892. During that. year tho
amount of revenue paid into the treas
ury from the lottery was 81 1857, 124.
Since then, according to the reports
in the treasury department. the earn
ings of the lottery, paid sometimes in
silver and sometimes in paper. have
been as follows:

CAPTURED.

j. III. Anderson, one of the pris-
oners who broke Jail at Catlettsburg
recently, was captured at Chicago
and returned on a requisition. At
ter making his escape, Anderson
wrote TO n woman living at Catletts-
burg to forward his clothes by ex-
press To Chicago. The woman be-
came intoxicated and told friend
that she was going to Kenova with
AnderSon's clothes to express them
to him. The woman continued
drunk and the authorities were no
titled of Anderson's whereabouts.
They prepared box of clothing
and forwarded it to Anderson at
Chicago and at the same time mott
fed the Chief of Police there, to
watch the express package and ar
rest the man who called for it. An
derson called for his package and
the police arrested him and notified
the authorities at Catlettsburg. He
refused to return, however, until

quickly done and he arrived at Cat
lettsburg, Wednesday evening.

COL. SANS SIDE
Kahuku Ranch Owner on
the Hitch in Sale.
Says Was Reservation In Power OF
Declares the Land Has
Increased In Value.

Col. Sam'l. Norris has filed long
answer to the complaint OF the Hawaii
an Agricultural Co., in which 1t is
sought to compel him to execute deed
to Kahuku ranch in Kau. The facts
concerning this sale will be rememb-
cred. In his answer Col. Norris de-
MED having authorized J. o. Carter to
sell the property, and also denied that
the note of c. Brewer & Co. for $50. 00O
was usual or proper terms for the sale
of land in the Hawaiian Islands. BY
way Of explanation respondent adds:
in the month OF May last he in
formed said J. o. Carter that he de-
sired to sell kahuku ranch for $780,
900; that he gave no authority to said
Carter to complete sale or to sign
any deed or agreement on his behalf;
that he SO informed said Carter simply
for the purpose OF having a report
made to him for his consideration
any offer which might be received;
that he at no time authorized said Car.
ter to make a sale for credit, or to
give any credit in respect to same:
that when informed by said Carter OF
his action In the premises he at once
repudiated the same, as he had full
right to do; that he has refused the
tenders referred to in the complain.
ants petition, or to execute a deed al
requested, for the reason that he de.
clined to be bound by the unauthorized
act of said Carter In the premises, and
has never since agreed to any terms Of
sale with the complainant. Respond.
ent further says that owing to the
changed political relations Of this
country his property has increased
greatly in value, and that It would bs
inequitable for said reason to now en-
force against him any agreement made
on his behalf by another without
authority. and without opportunity
given to the respondent to approve Of
reject the same"
