He was looking for an agent to establish the medicine ‘in Fresno, and found .an easy victim in Mrs. Emerson. He required herto zive him $70, which she raisea with a great deal of difficuity. The money was to pay for her first consignment of cap- sules. Besides this, Wright took a per- sonal loan of $5 from the woman.

Little Tricks b Which the Buyer May Be Hoodwinked If He Win. Obj ct-Lesson to Show That th: Way of the Transgressor Is Hard, Indeed. The expose in last Sunday's issue of Tre CaLL of the loltery swindles in this Cuy was the subject of much comment yesterday and the day before. Credulous persons whbo had been buying lottery tickets for years and years, and who were away behind in the game, had their eyes opened to the fact that they had been made the dupes of designing men, and that they had not one chance in a million to win a prize that would be worth going after. On all sides surprise is expressed that the two lottery firmms of this C.ty should be permitted by the heads of the Police Department and the Police Commissioners to transact their business openly —so openly, in fact, as to have public offices and to advertise in the daily newspapers, not only the lottery drawings, but the places where winning tickets may be cashed. THE CALL is the exception, for it refuses to publish them for love or money. This surprise is all the greater when it is known that the Grand Jury meets once every vear, and that it fails to indict the members, or at least the advertised mem- bers, of the lottery firms. The dealers and ticket peddlers have been working hard to lessen the force of the expose. Tney are putting forth the claim that the fifty tickets, each bearing number of the winner of the prize of were counterfeits, and a!so that the 500 capital prize tickets presented for pay- ment on May 9 were counterfeited. Itis strange that a counterfeiter in a range cf £0,000 or 100,000 numbers should print 500 tickets with the same number and that that number should turn out to be the winner of the capi al prize. If each num- ber in the series were printed 500 times | there would be in the Mexican lottery | scheme 40,000,000, valued at $10,000,00). printed in San Francisco alone. or 50,000, 000 tickets, valued at $12,500,000, in tue Honduras or Little Louisiana scheme. “This is preposterous on its face. more reasonabie explanation isthat of the 80,000 Mexican tickets only about 2000 numbers are prinied, thus giving the schem rs a leverage of 78,000 numbers on which they wil! not have to pay any prizes. These 2000 numbers duplicated and reduplicated to fit the demand are divided among the numerous peddlers of tickets so that no one of them will have aduplicate. Thuseach peddier could be given 2000 tickets, each ticket with a dif- ferent number, and yet these would be all the numbvers represented out of tue whole 80,000. Only the winning tickets would come to light, and -uspicion could be al- Inyed by cashing a few of the smaller prizes. Any duplicate numbers brought in for the same prizes could be stamped ‘*counter- feit”” and Iaid to the credit of the bold, bad forger. Another reculiar fact connected with the lottery swindle is that the purchaser 1s powerless to detect a counterfeit, which difficuity arises probably from the reason that there is no counterfeit. Proof of this proposition is furnished by the list of win- ning numbers sent to their patrons by the Iottery agencies of this City. This circo- lar eives the name of one of the com- panies as “The Original Little Beneficen- cia Pub v_of San Francisco.” Then a few lines fartaer on the public is warned to beware of imitations and to see that every ticket bears the name of “*The Original Littie Benelicencia Company,” leaving out the word ‘‘publica,” yet the word ‘‘publica’ appears on all the tickets of those admitted to be genuine (non- prize-winners) and those aileged to be counterfeit (prize-winners). Another pecuiiar ciccumstance is that the word ‘‘beneficencia’’ is spelled “benifi- cencia’” on all the tiekets admittedly gen- uine as well as those claimed to be coun- terfeited. This bad spelling appears on the tickets of one of the companies, while the word is spelle. properly on the tickets of the other. Here is another striking peculiarity in the case of two tickets bought from the same peddler at the same tyme: THREE CIPHER SIX TWO EIGHTY SIX ONE FOUR SIX NINE (61469) Both tickets were issued by the same company and are genuine beyond & doubt, vet the words above the Arabic numerals are printed in d.fferent styles of type, the words “three, cipher, eizht,” being printed ndensed type while the woras re printed in fat letters. The 'six.’” “‘one,” ix,” “nine" are printed also in fat letter. If the ticket numbered 30628 should win the capital prize it would be very easy for the agent to denounce it as a counterfeit on account of the mixed style of printing the words over the Arabic numerals, as shown in 61469. Should 61469 win a big prize it would be just as easy for the agent to denounce it as a counterfeit, because the words above the numerals were not printed in the same type as those in 30628. So that no matter what happens the ticket purchaser is completely at the mercy of the lottery sharper. in lean FYEW TO-DAY—DRY GOOD< THE MAZE IS HAVING A CLOSING - OUT SALE O ALL ITS DEPARTM'TS! g RETIRING FROM BUSINESS, * Not Hoodwinking the Public by a Closing-Out Sale IN All Departments. e ;4 There is only one way to do busi- ness, and that’s square, honest and above board.

Thus, the private number on No. 306_8 is 7989, How can the buy er know that this is correct? He 1s as completely at the mercy of the lottery sharper asis the man who bands his valise to the bunko opera- tor. There are a small army of men and women who earn their living by calling from office to offize and housa to nouse for the purpose of selling lottery tickets, Naturally they support the action of their employers, for it is a matter of bread and butter with them, and they are now giving all kinds of excuses as to the reason why so many duplicate tickets were afloat. The latest trick is for the agent or peddler to place his name on the back of the ticket with a rubber stamp, and 1o assure the hopelul buyer that tbe ticket is genuine, and that if the company doesn’t cash whatever prize it may win he will cash it himself.
