FREE DELIVERY IS BEGUN AT ENSLEY Six Carriers Start Out on New
 Routes
ENGINEER DUNN INJURED
Was Leaning From Cab Looking to the Rear When Struck By Passenger Coach Out of Place
 On Siding.

Ensley, June 15.-(speclal) 1.-The often promised and much longed for free de- livery service was installed today at the Ensley postoffice by Postmaster J. w. Clayton, six carriers starting on the routes this morning with new equip ment and new gray uniforms made by Keller, the tailor.
 Postmaster Clayton desires again to call attention to the fact that those who wish their mail delivered by car rier must have it directed to their street address; otherwise it will remain in the postoffice
 The numbering of the houses has not yet been completed this omission being especially noticeable in Tuxedo. The free delivery service will be greatly facili- tated by having this matter attended to without further delay.
 Owing to the increase In the number of clerks and the installation of the carrier service 1t is probable that the postoffice room will be enlarged by cut ting out the partition between the pres ent office and the store now occupied by Ellis, the jeweler and Keller, the tailor. These gentlemen will occupy new stores In the buildings to be constructed by Ramsay & Mccormack in the near future.

IN THE HALCYON DAYS
The Great Old Louisiana Lottery Took
 In $40oo,ooo Yearly.

From the New York Evening Sun. In 1864 a constitutional convention in Louisiana inserted in the constitu- tion of the state a proyiso to the ef- feet that '"The legislature shall have power to license the sale of lottery tickets and the keeping of gambling houses" On August Il, 1868, the leg islature of the state granted a charter to the Louisiana State Lottery com pany. The charter thus granted was exclusive and granted a monopoly of the lottery business to this company for twenty-five years to January 1, 1894.
 According to the statements issued by the companyyat that time, drawings were advertised to take place twelve times year, on the second Tuesday in each month. Ten of the drawings were ordinary drawings, the tickets for all | of which amounted to $2.0c0,000 and the prices to $1,054,800. Two of the monthly drawings were grand extra ordinary drawings, in which the prices of the tickets for sale amounted to twice as much as in the ordinary draw ings, and the prizes were also twice as large and the profits twice as great. The gross receipts of the Louisiana | company were about $4,000,000 per annum and the net receipts to the packers and stockholders were approx imately 45 per cent of the amount real ized on the sale. of the tickets.
 The charter of the company. under it's terms, expired on Januery 1, 1894. In 1890 the question of the renewal of the charter came before the people of Louisiana. In March, 1890, John A. Morris, who was then the dominant factor .in the lottery company, an nounced by letter in the newspapers that he would apply to the legislature for an amendment to the constitution granting to him a lottery charter for the term of twenty-five years, and that he would pay therefor $500 .000 year. This offer was subsequently, raised to $1,000,000, and then to $1,350,000 a year.
 The act submitting to the people of Louisiana a constitutional amendment granting this charter was vetoed by the governor and passed by the legis- lature over the veto. Prolonged litiga- tion ensued, and finally the lottery company abandoned all hope of getting charter from the state of Louisiana MT. Morris then applied to the Repub- lie of Honduras.
 The laws of Honduras required the deposit of one-third of the assets of any company incorporated in their country. Those interested in the lot tery enterprise were unwilling to de- posit as large sum of money as would be necessary, and the business was therefore conducted under a conces- sion running under the name of John A. Morris, trustee. Trust certificates of shares of stock of the Central Amer ican Trust company, purporting to be a corporation, but which apparently never had any actual legal corporate

existence, were issued to various indi- viduals interested in the lottery enter prise. The officers, agents and stock holders of the old Louisiana State Lot tery company continued to carry on the business of the new lottery com pany.
 The transmission of lottery matter by mail was prohibited by the act of 1867. After the passage of this act all communication in regard to the affairs of the lottery company were transmit ted by express. In 1895 the anti-lottery act, forbidding interstate carriage of lottery tickets or advertisements of lottery matter was passed by Congress. It appears that the managers of the lottery enterprise were advised by counsel that this act was unconstitu- tional, and for some years thereafter they continued sending lottery tickets from one state to another by means of the express companies.
 In 1903 the supreme court of the unlted States handed down a decision in the case of Champion vs. Ames. up- holding the constitutionality of the act of 1895. Immediately thereafter a con- ference was held between some of the parties interested at the Waldorf Astoria in New York. Eminent coun- sel were enlisted, and the lottery peo- pie were advised that the sending of lottery tickets as personal baggage and thus avoiding the transmission of them by means of common carriers would not constitute a violation of the law.
 After that the business of the com pany was carried on in the following manner: The tickets were printed at the establishment of the lottery com pany, under the management of John M. Rogers, at Sixth and Orange streets. Wilmington, Del. When printed the tickets were taken by messenger from Wilmington to New York, where they were stored in different warehouses every month. Representatives of the lottery company would withdraw the supply of tickets for the ensuing month from the warehouses and assort them into packages, which would be in dorsed on the outside with the code name of the city for which they were destined. Every officer and agent of the company had an assumed name, and the company also made use of a very complete code After the tickets were assorted they were put up in trunks and carried as personal baggage to Washington, D. O., where they were repacked and again taken by messen- gers to the various state agents throughout the United States.
