owe Nothing To the Lottery.
Attention has been called to an et
itorial article in the New York Time
OF Saturday, April 20, which PROBES.
es to give some historical facts con
corning the once active but now de
Iunct Louisiana Lottery Company
In that article it is stated that tn,
Charity Hospitalat New Orleans aue
the Leyee system of Loulsia ma ar,
enduring monuments OF the Lottery'f
operations.
AS 1t IL taken for granted that the
Times wants to tell the truth and not
state fictions for facts, it may be-
worth while for it to know that the
Charity Hospital was founded in
1852, under Spanish rule, by Don
Almonaster y'Roxns, who donated
20 its construction and equipment
$li4,OOO. Private funds were sub
scf'bed to It from time to time by VII
rious persons. In 1903 Louisiana
came INTO the possession of the Unit
ed States, and in 1912 Louisiana be-
came State. On the transfer OIL
Louisiana to the flag Of the United
States the Hospital was taken in
charge by the city Of New Orleans
The State subsequently, authorized |
certain taxes and other charges for
It's support, and in 1855 it became
the property OF the State of Louisi-
ana, which made regular provision
TOR it's maintenance and enlarge
ment.
In 1868, the State of Louisiana be-
ing under negro Republican carpet
bagger control, contract was made
with the Lottery Company, giving it
> charter for twenty-five years, on
Of paying annually $4O,-
200 to the support Of the Hospital.
This contract expired in 1893, when
t was determined by the people of '
Louisiana to root out the concern. 2
Fhe Lottery Company, in it's anxiety v
o secure a new lease Of life, offered n
o the State an annual sum of one Il
Million dollars, to be divided equally &c
etween the Charity Hospital, the !"
evees and the Public Schools. y
The State Legislature refused to II
lake any such bargain, or any bar TX
bin at all with the Lottery Company,
nd its operations in the State were vi
ade unlawful. Then it removed it's w
tensIble headquarters to Hondur- az
}. where it's drawings were held. te'
Thus it IL that the Levees of Lou va
