BLIND CHANCE.
A Thorough Investigation of the Louisiana
Lottery bv a Representative of
" The Times."
How the Scheme is Operated, and the
Men Who Are Connected
With It.
A Gambling Institution With a State
Charter and a Government
License.
Opinion as to Its Fairness and tha Man
ner of Its Workings.
FroujJhc Chicago Tim,!. 3iay 16. tssX.
la ail ages of the world's history, among
all races of people, however highly civil
ized or the exact reverse, the passion for
wooing the tickle goddess of chance has in
\ariably manifected itself. Legislators and
law givers have striven in vain by the
! enactment of the most stringent statutjs
I to repress the practice of gambling in
| some or other of its manifold forms, for
the instinctive desire to attain sudden
wealth by the hazard of a die, the revolu
tion of a wheel, or the turn of a card is too
deeply implanted in the minds of men
to be driven out by the power
ot l«-gal enactment. The subject
is a fruitful one, and might be made
the text for a thousand homilies upon the
oliy and weakness of mankind, as it has
served to point a million morals in the
past. Hut the Times to day proposes to
dea! with only one brauch of this great
moral problem, and to treat only of the
lottery business as conducted by the Loui
siana State Lottery Company, an institu
tion wh'oh has its ramification* in every
city of the luited States, and is nowhere
more strongly represented than is Chicago.
it is well known to all that the early leg
islators of the State of Illinois, in their de
sire to protect the morals of the common
wealth, enacted constitutional provisions
forbidding the authorization by the Gen
eral Assembly of any lottery or gift enter
prise within the State. In accordance with
these laws have been passed, and so far as
Illinois is concerned, the lottery business
is under the ban. But in other States,
ami notably in the South, ditferent
ideas have governed, and as the effect
of the lotteries established under the sanc
tion of local laws in Louisisana by no
means confined to that State, it becomes a
matter of general interest to trace their
workings. For this reason the Times'ias
made thwrough and searching investiga
tion into the manner in which the ->ne
■ great lottery of the country is conducted,
j by sending one of its reporters to Louisiana
to examine into atfairs on the ground. His
instructions were to make thorough exam
ination into the financial and legal status
of the Umisiana State Lottery, to examine
its charter from the legislature, and to see
whether it complied with the State constitu
tion. in which the solidity of such charter
is recognized and guaranteed. He was also
to ascertain from State and city officials in
' New Orleans whether the company lived
j up t<> its contract with the State in " the
matter of providing for charitable institu
1 tions, and to obtain the opinion of .^ankers
and business men aoout the concern.
Lastly, and most important of all, he was
to witness the drawing of prizes as con
ducted monthly in New Orleans, and to
satisfy himself bevond a peradventure as
to the honesty ami fairness of the system.
Whether a lottery be forbidden by law, as
in Illinois, or chartered by the State, as in
Louisiana, there can of course be but one
opinion as to the fact that if it be con
ducted unfairly it should be exposed as a
swindle.
1 be History of the Lottery.
In the year 13*jti the Senate and House of
Representatives of the State of Louisiana
adopted in legal form "An act to increase
the revenue of the State, and to authorize
the incorporation and establishment of the
Louisiana State Lottery Company, and to
repeal certain acts now in force. This
act provided that no foreign lottery tickets
should be sold within the State, and srave
to certain citizens named the power to or
ganize a corporation under the following
regulations:
Artici.k1. The name and title of this
corporation shall be the Louisiana State
Lottery Company, and the domicile thereof
shall be in the city of New Orleans, State of
Louisiana. .
Art. 2. The objects and purposes of this
corporation are: 1. The protection of the
State against the great losses heretofore in
curred by sending large amounts of money
to other States and foreign countries for
the purchase of lottery tickets and devices,
thereby impoverishing our own people.
2. To establish a solvent and reliable
home institution for the sale of lottery,
policy, and combination tickets, devices,
and certificates, fractional parts thereof, at
i terms and prices in jast proportion to the
p.i/es to be drawn, and to insure pertect
! fairness and justice in the distribution of
such priz.es. . , ,
To provide means.to raise a fund for
educational aud charitable purposes for
I the citizen® of Louisiana.
Art. S The capital siock oi mis iuri>uia
' tion shall be $1,000,000, represented by ten
thousand shares of $100 each.
' There were provisions for a Hoard of Di
rectors composed of seven stockholders,and
the corporation was given all the corporate
rights to sue and be sued. etc. The dura
tion of its existence was tixed at twenty
live years. In consideration of the privi
leges thus granted and guaranteed, the
company on its part agreed to the follow
ing:
Art. Section 1. The corporation shall
{ay to the State of Louisiana the sum of
10,000 per annum, which sum shall be
! paid quarterly in advance from and after
the 1st day of January, l.VW, to the State
Auditor, who shall deposit the same in the
treasury of the State, and which sum shall
t>ecredited to the educational fund; and
said corporation shall be exempt from all
other taxes and licenses of any kind what
ever. whether from State, parish or muni
cipal authorities.
Sec. 2. The corporation shall furnish
bonds to the Auditor in the sum of $50,0*>0
as security for prompt and punctual pay
ment of the sums set forth in the preced
ing section.
The remaining provisions of the Char
ter regulated the matter of elections of
officers, and the general method under
which the company should work, and gave
It for a period of twenty-five years from
the 1st day of January, 18£>, the sole and
exclusive "privilege of establishing and au
thorizing a lottery, or series of lotteries,
and selling and disposing of lottery tick
eta, policy. eombinatioQ devices, and cer
tificates and fractional parts thereof.
('«a»lltailoD«l Gnuraalff*.
The Constitution of 1879 provided in
Article 167 as follows:
Article 167. The General Assembly
shall have authority to grant lottery
charters or privileges, providea each charter
or privilege shall pay not less then $10,
000 i>er annum in money into the treasury
of the State; and pmiJcd further that all
charters shall cease and expire on the 1st
of January, 1895, from which time all lot
teries are prohibited in the State.
The $40,000 per annum now provided bv
law to be paid by the Louisiana State Lot
tery Company, according to th« provisions
of its Charter granted in the year 18»Hshall
belong to the Charity Hospital of New Or
leans, and the Charter of said Company is
recognized as a contract binding on the
i ►
8tate for the period therein ■pecified, ex
cept its monopolj clause, which u hereby
abrogated; and all laws contrary to the
provisions of thia article are hereby de
clared nail and void, provided said Com
pany shall file a written renunciation of
all Its monopoly features in the office of
the Secretary of State within aixty days
after the ratification of this Constitution.
Ot the additional sum raised by licenses
on lotteries, the Hospital at Shreveport
shall receive $10,000 annually, and the re
maining sum shall be divided each year
among the several parishes in the State for
the benefit of their schools.
Thus doubly fortified by constitutional
provision and an indefeasible charter, the
question of the legal existence of the Lou
isiana State Lottery, so far as the State of
Louisiana had the power to go, was proven
on the start Having satisfied himself oa
these points, the investigator proceeded to
have a aeries of interviews with prominent
officials and business men of New Orleans,
which tail their own story as fol'ows:
State Auditor Jumel.
The Hon. Allen Jamel, Auditor of the
State of Louisiana, who was staying a few
da/s in New Orleans, was found, and sub
mittedgracefully to the interviewing pro
cess. The reporter said:
"I want to ascertain through yoa, as an
officer of the State, the facts as to the
legal, moral, and financial standing ofy."
Louisiana State Lottery Companaqi
"Well, air," replied Mr. Jumel, it is the
greatest benevolent institution in the en
tire South. It is the milch cow for every
charity, whether personal or public, in
Louisiana. It is the backbone and support
of all sanitary measures in New Orleans. It
gives with a free and open hand to all de
serving objects, whether church, school, or
£ublic or private charitv. It supports a
[ospital, the largest and beat in theSouth
ern States, which gives shelter and medi
cal or surgical treatment to tfie unfortu
nate, without distinction of class, creed or
nationality. As an institution, it protects
its franchise against hundreds of political
parasites who would like to rob tbe Com
pany of its Charter, regardless of the loss
to the city of New Orleans which would
follow, and for tbe purpose of obtaining
concessions for them&elves. The Louisiana
State Lottery, as it is conducted, is
perfectly square and honest. The officers
are a;en of nigh standing and repute, and
they cannot afford to endanger their rep
utations or risk the forfeiture of their
franchise by any slight of-hand work. If
the thousands of administrators of estates
in this country would guard the trusts de
volved on them as faithfully as the offi ers
of the Louisiana State Lottery Company
protect theirs, there would be less suffer
ing and want in the world."
-How about the fulfilment of the Char
ter ptovision as to placing in your bauds
$40,000 every year for charitable pur
noses?"
'•They pay in advance $10.0JO every
<|Qarter into iny odice. During iuy iong
administaation, I have never found them
to be one day behind with their payments.
As to the men who are identified with this
great institution their names have a na
tional reputation. You < aft tind out about
them by inquiry among our best business
men. The drawings are conducted under
the personal supervision of Gen. Ci. T.
Beauregard, of this State, and Gen. Jubal
A. Early, of Virginia, whose naiues alone
are an absolute guaranty of the bona tides
of the lottery."'
"What cau you tell me about the at
tempt made some time 8ko by Congress
man Robertson of this State io induce the
I'ostma-ter-General to stop the delivery of
mail matter to the Lottery Company?"
"I can best answer that question by re
fern u/ you to a paragraph wnicli appeared
I in the Times Democrat of this city on July
lust, and which you cau publish as it
stands."
The paragraph was as follows:
THE LOTTERY AX I' TUE M\ILS.^
Spcriiil to The Thiies-Jtrmoerat.
Washington. July 21. — Congressman
Robertson of Louisiana has received a re
ply from the Postmaster-General to his let- |
ter relative to the use of the mails by the i
Louisiana Lottery Company. The Post- |
master-General, in his reply, takes the <
ground that the Lottery Company is a leg
al institution, and that he cannot, there
fore. prevent the Company from using the
mails.
"What «as the reason oi Congressman
Robertson's objection
"1 do not care to go into details of the
personal tight. 1 suppose 'the cow kick- |
ed.""
' Where is Mr. Robertson now'.'"
•Tp at Baton Rouge. He has been elect
ed to stay ut home."
The Mayor of Sen Orleans
(Jen. W. J. Behan. Mayor of New Or
leans, was found at the City Hall. The re
porter stated that The Times had sent him
to New Orleans for the purpose of investi
gating the workings of the Louisiana State
Lottery Company, and expressed the hope
that Mayor Behan would freely furnish all
tiie information in his power.
"1 shall be very happy to do so," replied
the courteous Executive. "I admire the
enterprise of The Chicago Times in send
ing a represent ;tive so far from home for
the investigation of information. '1 ho Lot
tery Company is doiug a great work in the
matter of alleviating hnman suffering and
misery in our citv."
The" reporter %tat*d ti.at he had se:n a
number of the leading men of New Orleans,
and that they all gave utterance ♦"> the
same sentiments in regard to the hone:ty
of the drawings, and the high personal
character of the gentlemen connected with
the Company.
"Yes." answered the Mayor, "it is, I be
lieve, the only institution of the kind in
the world which is absolutely free from
any taint or suspicion of irregularity. 1
never bought a lottery ticket inmy life,
but beinK engaged in commercial pursuits
[Mayor Behan conducts a large wholesale
grocery business], I am personally ac
quainted with the honorable standing of
each and every member of the Board of
Directors of the Louisiaua State Lott-'ry
Company. As totbeCommissionetsGons.
Beauregard and Early, their reputations
are national. The conduct of the lottery
is bevond reproach."
"What are the facts as to the charitable
work of the organization?'
-The Managers of the State Lottery Com
pany never seem to tire of giving in a good
cause. Their donations to charitable pur
poses extend over the world. As to their
enterprise, 1 can only say that it resembles
that of your Chicago men If we had more
of their'kind, New Orleans would not take a
back -eat as a manufacturing and commer
cial city to any in this country.
Hunk President Koha.
The reporter, jn his researches for news
among the commercial and tinancial mag
nates of New Orleans, met Mr. C. Kohn,
President of the I'nion National Bank of
that city, and propounded t> him q ues
tions identical with those asked of the
other gentlemen named.
-I shall be only too glad." said Mr.
Kohn, "to tell t) the people of the Noiib,
through the medium of the Times, the
fact- as to the business standing and per
sonal character of the lottery officials. 1
am not interested in any way'in lotteries,
and am opposed to them and all forms of
gambling. I believe them to be a bad
thing forany SUte or community to en
courage. But I am willing tc forgive the
Managers of the Louisiana State Lottery
Company for all the harm that lottery has
ever done, if it has done any, in considera
tion of the good work it has done and is
constantly doing for humanity. <»ce-half
will never be known of the true charity of
that corporation. Their hands are always
open to the poor and needy, and when we
were visited oy epidemics they simply
overflowed in charity."
Mr. Jnlci I umihI ,
President of the Germania National Bank,
was found at his private desk, industrious
ly occupied in appending his official sig
nature to bank notes about to be issued as
currency. With much suavity and good
humor ne laid aside his work for the time
to make the reporter ieel thoroughly at
home.
"I consider," he said, "the ChicagoTirues
a great and enterprising newspaper. It is
thoroughly known and its merits fully ap
preciated in the South. If there is any
way in which I can serve you in the mat
ter of getting information, you can com
mand me."
The Times representative stated his bus
iness, and went on to show how the laws
of the State of Illinois dealt with the lot
tery question; how in spite of all those
lawsth»re was a great eagerness among the
people of the North, aad especially the
wonting classes, to invest small sutis in
the hope of winning large prizes, and how
they were liable to be imposed upcva bv
concerns not operated upon a reliable bus
iness basis or manipulated by corrupt or
improper persons. For these reasons, and
in order to fully determine the financial
and legal standing of the Louisiana State
Lottery Company, he had been sent to New
Orleans to make his investigation* upon
the spot, and to learn how the mana^rs of
the Company stood in the estimation of
their fellow-citiaens and the business com
munity.
Mr. Cass&rd replied: "From a moral point
of view 1 do not indorse anything that
tends to the encouragement of gambling or
games of chance. But if a lottery is to ex
ist, and it looks as if such was to be in the
present constitution of humanity, it is of
course desirable to have only such as are
conducted honestly and fairly. Such an
institution we have got right in this city in
the Louisiana Rtate Lottery Company. 1
bat I am personally acquainted wuu ui
iU officers, and I know that their reputa
tion as honest and conscientious busi
ness men is second to none in the
citj of New Orleans. Their stock can
not be purchased in the market, and it
la the best paying inrestment paper In this
CUUQLTJ. Ab lucn »j«uo v*
such an institution to maintain, the officers
of thi* Company cannot afford to do any
thing to throw a cloud npon their names.
I know there are plenty of men vho would
be very glad to find out some crooked work
in the operations of this lottery so that
they might come to the front and obtain a
charter for themselves. You can rely upon
it that if all was not squire to the.last cent
the fact would be published far and wide.
As to the Charity Hospital, which is sup
Sorted by the Louisiana State Lottery
ompany, it is a noble institution, the
doors of which are thrown open to the
sick and suffering from all parts of tbe
world. The charity of the Company
knows no bounds of creed or race, and ex
tenus wherever want and misery are found.
I receive a great many letters of inquiry
about the lottery. Hare is a letter calling
for five tickets. I answer all these inquir
ies as I have answered you, and tell ttiem
that the lottery is conducted by honest
men. We receive tickets for collection
from all parta of the country, and they
sre invariably promptly honored."
President of the Louisiana National Bank,
is a very conservative businesss man, and
like financiers generally, has little sym
pathy with anything which partakes of
tbe nature of a gambling transaction. In
reply to the question of the reporter he
said:
"I do not wish to be interviewed on a
matter I know nothing about. As to lot
teries, I never had a ticket in my life,
never expect to have one, and in ray opin
ion any man who purchases a lottery tick
et and expects to get rich in that way is
very foolish."
"It is not in regard to the ethics of lotter
ies, Mr. Oglesby, that I desire information,
but as to your knowledge of the men who
are at tbe head of the Louisiana State Lot
tery. Of course you know Gen. Beaure
gard and Gen. Early, the Commissioners,
and the Directors of the Company. What
can you tell me a'^out their standing in the
business community ?"
"I believe them to be men of honesty,
ability and worth, but as to their lottery
business I know nothing."
"Do you ever have lottery tickets sent to
{ou for collection through corresponding
anks in other cities'.'"
"Yes, sir, hundreds of them, and they
are always paid promptly by the manage
ment aud returned by us in due course,
like all other collections."
"How about the charitable feature of the
Mr. J. H. Oftleabr.

'"I have never heard a word of complaint
that it has not lived up to the requirements

it to respond liberally in aid of sufferers

Oilier Banker*.
A call at the Mutual National Hank, de
veloped the fact that the president, Mr.
John T. Harden,, was at his seaside resi
dence at I'ass Christian, Miss., but the re
porter found Mr. P. Maspero, the vice
president. at his post of duty. That gen
tleman said, in reply to tlie reportorial
queries:
"I believe the Louisiana State Lottery
Company to be an entirely straightforward
institution. We at this bank are all per
sonally acquainted with the otlicer* of the
company, and know them to be gentlemen
of high business qualifications an i strict ,
integrity. We have a large amount of col- j
lections on account of successful lottery
tickets to make every month. These are I
sent to us for collection by corresponding !
banks all over the I'uitcd States, a'ld they '
are duly paid ou presentation. Now, so I
far as I am personally cjncerned, I am de )
cidedlv opposed to the granting by any
State or governmental authority of any I
charter to a lottery. But the right to do so >
is vested in the General Assembly of this ;
State by the constitution, and as we are
going to have a lotteiy 1 am very free to I
say that we are fortunate in having an in- j
stitution which lives up to the require- I
nients of its charter and conducts its busi
ness in an honorable. fair and legitimate j
way. Then, too. those people are extremely :
liberal, and not only meet the require
ments of the law by contributing
every year to the support of the Charity |
Hospital, but always contribute liberally !
to every deserving charity."
Mr. 1*. (>. Pazende, of tlielirmot Fazende I
A: Seixas, well known banker* an 1 brokers, I
corroborated in all particulars the state
ments made by other leading bankers and
commercial men in regard to the business

the hotel, lie talked freely in regard to the
object of the reportorial investigation.
"You ought to be able to tell me some
thing in regard to the Louisiana State Lot
tery, Colonel," said ihe querist.
"Yes sir, I know all about it, although,
much to my regret, I have no interest iu
that institution."
'.'The officers are quite politicians, are
they not?"
' They are compelled to be iu order to pro
tect the valuable franchise of the company
from the vampires who want its blooa."
' What are the facts aOout the ho ies;y of
purpose of the company and its charita
(>!»• wop k?"
'Th'.-re has been mare tban one churcli
built from their contributions in addition
tn the $40,000 a year which by the terms of
their charter they are legally required to
give to the Charity Hospital. Thev donate
besides this $75,000 every year to charitable
purposes. The reputations of the men who
own and control the company are beyond
I question. There is a fortune for any man
who can detect aud prove the sligliest ir
j regularity or crookedness in the lottery
I drawing." But nobody has ever succeeded
' in doing so, for the operations of the com- j
pany are carried on in accordance with a j
strict system of safeguards aud checks, an.l I
the names o[ the men connected with it
are enough to satsfy anybody iliat every
thing is entirely square. Nobod\ here tias I
the slightest doubt on the subject."
W. A. Baldwin, president of the Xew Or
leans National bank, who is personally ac- |
qnainted with all the gentlemen connected
with the Louisiana Lottery Company,
cheerfully bore testimony to their high |
standing in the business community, and
to the fairness and liberality with which
the lottery is carried on. With regard to
the actual workings of the lottery and the
manner in jvhich the drawings are conduct
ed, the reporter, however, proposed to con
duct his own investigations, lie had ascer
tained from a score of leading otficials aud
bankers and business men what the stand
ing and reputation of the managers of the
concern were, and now determined to press
his inquiries on the subject of the lottery
itself and the manner in which it is run.
Fortunately for his purpose, there was to
be a drawing within a few days, and this
he proposed to witness in all its details.
So far he had not met any of the gentle
men connected with the lottery in any
capacity, but had pushed his investigations
independently. But in order to obtain
further details as to the drawings he called
on Gen. Jubal A. Early, who. with Gen.
Beauregard, acts as commissioner to super
intend that process. That distinguished
soldier resides in Lynchburg, Va., but vis
its New Orleans on the occasion of each
monthly drawing. He is still bright: and
cheerful, and bears his years well. t>ver
everything connected with the drawings
the two commissioners exercise the most
watchful care. They take entire control of
the wheels from which the ticketsand the
corresponding prize numbers are drawn,
and the managers oI the lottery have no
! more to do with this than any other out
sider. In this way perfect safeguards
against any possible collusion are provided.
Gea. ii. T. Beaurepura
needs no introduction to the reader. His
distinguished military career is recorded in
the pages of history, and his name, with,
that of Gen. Early, is a guarantee of good
faith and honesty. His testimony as ta>
the absolute fairness of the lottery may
be well condensed in the following lan
guage employed by hita:
"I state that, at the request of the Loui
siana Lottery Company, I have superin
I tended two of its meat important dnwings
j ia connection with Gen. Early. It U
within mr knowledge that said drawings
! were conducted in the fairest manner pos
sible; and before undertaking the charge,
| 1 made investigation as to the manner in
j which it conducted its operations. I
became thoroughly convinced that all its
affairs and drawings arc honestly aid fair
ly conducted. It is a legitimate institu
tion, incorporated by the State in
and has been in regular operation ever
since. Its financial standing is first rate,
as it has always paid all prizes doirn, and I
nave r heard ol any one having buaineM
with it complaining of unfairness or bad,
faith of any description."
BtnCe the time filmed the drawings hare
invariably been supervised bj the two
gentlemen, and long experience of the
workings of tb« lottery enables them now
to repeat more emphatieallv than ever
their endorsement of the perfect honesty
with which the drawings are carried on.
The Charity Hospital.
Having heard so much daring bis visit
to New Orleans in regard to the Charity
Hospital of Louisiana, {the reporter visitad
that institution,.and through the courtesy
of Dr. D. Jamison, tbe\efficient assistant
house surgeon, was cimi an opportunity
of making a thorough examination of all
itsdetafls. The Charity Heepital was found
ed in 1786 by Don Andna Almonaatery
Roxaa, a Spanish planter. The present
building was erected in l£32, and during
the last year it relieved 6,410 patients, of
whom remained in the hospital during
Dec. 31, 1882. It received (40,000 from the
Louisiana State Lottery Company, and
about $75,000 from rents and donations
during last year, and is out of debt. In
every respect the conduct of this noble
charity appears to be of the most desirable
character. Its doors are thrown open to
white and black alike, «s no applicant for
admission is ever refused the necassary
treatment and care. In the matter of at
tention and cleanliness to every detail of
hospital work, the Charity Hospital might
veil be taken as a model by many more
pretentious institutions.
Tbe Lattery Itaelf.
Thus having obtained the views of many
of New Orleans' most prominent citizens
in regard to the honest manlgeraent of the
lottery and the fulfillment by the Com
pany of its charter engagements, the Times
man proceeded to investigate for himself
the lottery. According!y he visited for the
first time the office of the Company, and
stated his business to Mr. M. A. Dauphin,
who, for several years, has acted as Presi
dent of the Lottery Company. That gen
tleman expressed himself as being perfect
ly willing to furnish all the information in
his power, and certainly afforded every
opportunity for a complete investigation
of the manner iu which the lottery is car
ried on.
The building occupied by the Louisiana
State Lottery Company is a large and ele
Snt three-story structure, conveniently
cated on the corner of I'nion and St.
Charles streets. The building and court
occupy almost one-quarter of a block. The
first two stories are built of Vermont
marble, and the remainder of white con
crete. The court extends half way through
the centre of the property, and is protected
by a high iron fence. Within the en
closure thus formed are a large fountain
and a wealth of tropical plants. The main
office of the company is an immense, lofty
room, occupying the first two stories of the
buildiug. Of! this large room are elegantly
furnished private parlors and correspond
ence rooms. The third floor is used for the
public lottery drawing, and is fitted up in
good style, with every convenience for the
accommodation of those desirous cf wit
nessing the monthly drawings. In every
respect the appointments of the building
and offices are complete. Over thirty gen
tlemen are constantly employed in attend
ing to the correspondence.
Jl. A. Dmiplilu.
Some reference should propei ly be made
in this connection to the ail'able gentle
man who so efficiently presides over the
destinies of tlie Louisiana State Lottery
Company. Mr. ALA. Dauphin lias been con
nected with that institution since its in
ception. and when it began active opera
tions in January, 180!>, be occupied a
confidential position in the office, in the
Spring of Wo the cashier of tie Company
resigned ou account of ill health, ana Mr.
1'auphin took the cashier's desk and the
general direction of the office. In 1 >77 Mr.
Dauphin being a stockholder and a mem
ber of the board of directors, was unani
mously elected president lor two years,
lie was re-electad in l*7it, ISM. and in
January of this year, and is now tilling
bis fourth term at the head of the Com
pany.
Drnwlne the Prize*.
At 11 o'clock on the morning of Tues
day, May s, a regular monthly drawing of
prizes was bad in the Company's building,
under the supervision of Gens', lteauregard
and Karly. The reporter witnessed this
from first to last, the entire process occu
pying about three hours. The manner in
which the drawing is couducted is at once
simple and calculated to insure absolute
fairness.
The Plan of «lie Lottery
drawing is as follows:
The numbers from 1 to 100,00'), corre
sponding with those numbers on the
tickets, printed on separate slips of pap"r,
are encircled with small tin tubes and
placed in one wheel. The first prizes,
similarly printed aim encircled, are joined
in another wheel. The wheels are then re
volved, and a number is drawn from the
wheel of numbers, and at the same time a
prize is drawn from the other wheel. The
BUm'>er and prize drawn out are opened
aiut exhibited to the audience, and regis
tered by the commissioners, the pri.:e be
ing placed against the number drawn.
This operation is repeated until all the
prizes are drawn out. The Lottery Com
pany have nothing whatever to do with
the drawing, which is entirely taken out
of their hands, and is watched by Com
missioners Karly and Beauregard on be
half of the ticket holders. As to the modus
operandi of the drawing and its absolute
fairness, a correspondent of the New York
World, who made an independent investi
gation of the whole subject, tells the story
of a very thorough test which he made per
sonally, as follows:
"With regard to the details of the draw
ing itself, it is safe to say there is not the
slightest indication of unfairness. All the
prize numbers <S40 in all) were counted
carefully over by the four commissioners
last week before they were place 1 in the
wheel yesterday morning iu the presence
of The World correspondent. In fact, the
mult of the draw ing proved that they were
all deposited in the wheel, as all the posi
tive prizes advertised in the monthly
scheme were drawn out and checked one
bv one by your correspondent. If any
dlscrepency was suspected it could onlv
exist in connection with the large whe 1
which contains the 100,000 numbers,
(■ens. lieauregard and Karly count these
numbers over twice a year, and vouch
that every number from 1 to 10J,0'J0 is de
posited in the big wheel. It fakes five
days to complete this count, and the man
agers offered to go through the entire pro
cess immediately after the drawing, so that
tl^e.public might be thoroughly convinced
tlilit'the 100.000 numbers were in the large
wheel. Hut this would require at least
ten days' labor, with four assistants, and
my proposition to weigh the tickets and
the tubes, so as to arrive at some accu*at®
estimate, was willingly accepted by the
managers. , . _ , ,
"AS aouij H3 l lie umniu* 1—,
yesterday, I accordingly obtained full con
trol of the wheel. Sfr. Gitfen and Mr.
l'llie, the two commissioners, accompanied
me to the room tbis morn in ft. The wheel
was then opened and a woolen oJoth spread
upon an adjoining table. I then toot sev
eral handfuls of the numbers securely en
oa6ed in their cutta percha tr.bes and de
posited them in the centre of this table.
From this heap I connted 100 at a time,
which were verified by Mr. GJflen, until 1
bad obtained 1,000. The remainder were
returned to the wheel. I. then placed
these 1,0(«) numbers in a carton box which
I had previously weighed empty. The box
and numbers tamed the scale? at
ounces. Deducting ounces for the
weight of the box, and the net weight of
the 1,00U number* and tubes was 43 ounces.
As 830 numbers had already been drawn
from the wheel yesterday, I counted oak
170 number* from the 1,00m heap and found
the net weight of the remainder <830* to lie
ouaoes. Five large canvas bags were
then procured at my request, as well as a
pair of Forsyth's scale*, which U the re
cognized standard ir. this city. Kaeh
bag weighed only 7% ounces. 1
calculated to be able to place 20k 000
numbers, incased in thoir tabes,
in each bag. The weight of the
20,000 numbers, according to the weight ef
the tirst 1,000 drawn out of the wheel,
should be 20 timee ki, or s60 ounces* which
with the bag ounces i, gave a gross
weight of 367ounces, or .'jA pounds 3X
ounces. I placed the regulators on the
scale at that tigure^and had the first bag
filled until it turned the scale at 54 pounls
SHounces. I then knew it contained
000 numbers. The same process was fol
lowed until I had filled 4 bags containing
80,000 numbers. The laat 30,000 would
necessarily be 630 short, or 3S>{ ounces, as
by the previous weight I had taken. r>e
ductingiiS^ ounces. or^poandaSM ounces,
from 54 pounds VA ounces I should have
the net weight of 19^170 numbers which
remained in the wheel, or 52 pounds. I
placed the regulator* at that figure, 52
pounds, and waited with "uriosity for the
last bag to be filled. When Mr. Pilie
dropped the last tube in, there was a
slight motion of the regulating beam,
ana the scales were poised exactly at 52
pounds. There was not the slightest
variation of a fraction of an ounce so
1 that I must say that I was more con
I vinced that there were 99,170 numbers in
the large wheel when I began to make the
I investigation than if I had counted them
one by one. With the W0 nositive prises
I drawn yesterday this woula make a total
of 100.000 numbers ia the wheel when it
waa turned at tan o'clock for the grand
monthly dUtribotion last Tuesday mom*
tog."
•■■■In It Vp.
Such testimony aa this, with the Added
weight of the declaration* made by New
Oileant buaineas men in imrd to the fi
nancial standing and high character of the
Directors and Officer* of the Company
carry conviction with them. The reporter
can only add that from all the observations
which he made, and after the moat thor
ough investigation conducted independ
ently and for the impose of getting to
the tery bottom of the whole business of
lottery drawing as coadBetM by the Louisi
ana 8tate Lottery Company, he could ar
rive at no ether conclusion thao thai the
lottery is co ad acted on principles of ab
solute fairness.
