MONEY BY CHANCE GAMES.
Government Lotteries in European
Countries and How They Are Con-
ducted-LarEe Sums Secured.

In the Prussian budget of receipts
and expenses for 1898 is one item which
must seem rather unusual to Ameri-
can fnanciers- ,OOO, 900 marks (the
equivalent. of about $4,000, 00O) from
authorized governmental lotteries.
In Prussia the lottery is-operated I'M
der the direct authority of the state.
There are number of prizes of $780,
900 marks, and it is an annual affair
in the line of revenue raising. In Italy
this year in the annual budget for
1898 was the item of revenue of 81, OOO,-
900 lire from lotteries, about equiva-
lent to 100000 in American money,
and it is somewhat curious that in
nearly every country of Europe: with
the exception of France and Belgium,
lotteries as a means Of revenue rails
ing are the rule rather,than the excep-
ton
Denmark made last year profit on
it's lotteries-a net profit over and
above expenses-of 100000 crowns,
equivalent to about $4OO,00O. In Hol-
land, too, there is state lottery, the
net proceeds of which are figured each
year. at $4,000 guilders, or about $780,
GOO. Portugal is another European
country which recruits it's revenues
from this source. In the year 1897 the
Portuguese lottery gained 1,75O,o00
milreis (nearly $2,ooo,0o0). But Por-
tugal has at least some justifca ton in
its adherence to lotteries by reason Of
the fact that the finances of that
country are in an unsettled condition,
that creditors are pressing against it,
and that the expenditures have, for a
humber of years, exceeded consider
ably the revenues.
In the European countries lotteries
are state monopolies, as much as the
sale Of stamps or of cigars and tobac-
co, and the government makes usually
Il considerable profit from them. The
Spaniards are great believers in the
advantages offered by lotteries, and
the financial plight of that country
now being most serious, there will be
started soon under the auspices of the
Spanish government great lottery
scheme, the receipts of which, minus
the prizes, will be turned over 10 the
government for it's needs. Circulars
are being sent out, and it is expected
that 500, 100000 pesetas, or about $780,
100000, will be netted for the govern
ment. There are five capital prizes of
100000 pesetas each.-Chicago Trib-
rne. fs55s. 8

New Rulings.

Insurance Commissioner Dearth made
two rulings of interest to insurance
men and the public generally. One
was that railroad, grain and elevator
companies, under the law, cannot place
the blanket fire insurance policies upon
all OF their property as heretofore, but
that there must be Minnesota stand
ard policy for Minnesota property.
Ihe other ruling relates to life insur-
ance companies, to the effect that life
companies must pay the per cent
gross receipt tax on the dividends used
to reduce premiums as well as on the
balance of the premiums. The COM
panies have contended that dividends
SO used should be exempt.

KEEPS DREYFUs IN PRISON.
Revision Ordered, But Sentence IL
Not to He Suspended-Full ln-
sQniry Promised.

Paris, Oct. 81 Despite evidence
which many consider absolute proof
of his innocence, Alfred gDreyfus, the
prisoner of Devils island. must await
in his cage the result of the revision Of
his case ordered by the court of ca sa-
ton Saturday. With liberty for the
captain apparently at hand, this de-
cision comes as severe blow to his
wife and friends, for fear each hour of
imprisonment is taking years from the
prisoners life. No one can tell how
many days or even months it will be
until the technicalities of theslaw are
complied with and Dreyfus' innocence
publicly proclaimed. It is even limited
that documentary proof Of the prs-
oner's freedom from guilt may never
be obtained, as those who would suffer
in his stead have had ample time TO de-
stroy discriminating evidence.
Yvos Guyot,ain the Steele, asserts that
the secret documents in the Dreyfus
case were burned some days ago. If
this is true the proba bility is that Drey-
fus cannot be cleared and the only
hope for him will be pardon or annul-
ment of the sentence, which will still
leave a stain upon his name.
Although the courtroom was crowded
when the judges, after 31a hours Of de-
liberia ton, an nounced th cir decision, no
demonstration, occurred. Since the re-
view of the case by Reporter Bard
Thursday little doubt has existed re-
garding the finding and all were pre-
pared for the order of revision. A sup
Elementary inquiry is promised and
Capt. Dreyfus' friends, who are grow
ing more numerous every day, will in
sist that as little delay as possible be
permitted. The decision created no
public excitement and complete tran
guilty prevails on the streets.
I, BY Saturdays decision the court of
cessation obtains the most absolute
control over the Dreyfus case. 1t can
demand and examine any documents
whatever. including the dossier, of any
case bearing upon the Dreyfus matter
and can examine under oath any wit
ness, however high his position. In
short, if the court makes a sincere use
of it's powers the truth will have a
much better chance of being discovered
than would have been the case had it
merely ordered revision before another
court-martial, whose members might
have been actuated by desire to shield
the general staff. 5=-s
Although the liberation of Dreyfus
has not been ordered, the court can or
der him brought to France at any mo-
ment, and will probably do so at an
early stage of the inquiry. The court
refrained from ordering his release on
Saturday because it would have been a
presumption Of his innocence.
London, Oct. 31.-The Paris CORE
spondent of the Daily News says the de-
cision of the court of cessation on Sat-
urday was given by vote of nine
against four.

TYPHOID FEVER AT LYNN.
tile Times, Thursday December ?

Against stupidity The gods themsei yes fight
in vain. Against The people eff Kings Lynn
sanitary science wages. it would seem, AN
equally Intellectual war. Five years ago
Kings Lynn was visited with a serious out
break of typhoid fever. l. WAS then pointed
out with irresistible coge ICY, in n report to
the Local Government Board, framed after
careful and searching Investigation, that the
dissemination Of the disease was traceable to
the public water service OF the town. Long
before his the water supply had been con.
demned by competent sanitary authorities,
and in 1876 a scheme was propounded for
its improvement. This scheme was rejected
by the town council. BY the efforts Of Il few
enlightened and energetic men, however, the
council was in time converted. and in 1883
it adopted the scheme which it had rejecled
i'll 1875. But the ratepayefs were still un-
converted, ard the scheme was again defeat
ed. nothing further being done until after
the outbreak of typhoid im 1892. Then a
new scheme was propounded, and, having
tohe referred to the ratepayers, it was again
rejected. subsequently 1t was discovered
that no Act of Parliament was required for
the prosecution Of tle scheme, aud hat,
therefore, it could be carried out or the au-
thorlty Of tue town COUNCIL without direct
reference to the ratepayer~. With Il public
spirit which shows that that there are some
enlightened citizens even in Kings Lynn.
the town council then resolved to proceed.
and measures were taken 10 secure a new
supply from unpolIuted sources, which will
now be available il a few months. The
ratepayers, however, were still unconverted
