What President Conrad Has to Say About the Big Lottery. I

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 26.—President Paul Conrad, of the Louisiana Lottery Company, was interviewed to-day about the dispatch regarding the company's attempt to purchase a location in the Sandwich Islands. He said: It is a 'fake' sensation pure simple, or a malicious concoction, designed, perhaps, to prejudice the company in the minds of the people of the United States by creating the impression that our business is to be vemoved by the legal restrictions and accountability it is now under by the virtue of the laws of Louisiana. \Vere tfa© Louisiana State Lottery Company to become a Hawaiian instead of a Louisiana concern, of course it troald be practically an impossibility to enforce claims against wherea9, being a duly chartered corporation of this State, it is amendable to the Laws. Obligations can be enforced through the courts against it the somes as against any lawful and responsible company.'' "But what are the company's plans for the future? Might not their negotiations be carried on without your knowlege?" ''"Scarcely such vast sums as talked of are not carried in one vest pocket nor expended by one member of a concern without consulting his associates. The owners of the .Louisiana Lottery are now scattered over jthe globe seeking peace or pleasure, according to their condition or taste. Mr" Morris, with friends, have been for weeks cruising about on his yact, and I doubt if any one has communicated on business of any description. Certainly he is not giving himself any concern about lotttery business, and I repeat there is simply nothing |in tho alleged San Francisco story «xcept idle gossip, so far as I know and I think I know all the facts. The Louisiana Lottery Company will [Kve out its allotted time as fixed by 'Its vested rights, say a couple of years longer, doing its busine ss here as it always has, and abiding by the ipopular decision in the recent con

OBSERVATIONS ABROAD.

Dr. Talmage Preaches of Various Things Seen While Away.

Some Kather Novel Views of the Czar— The Dreadful Famine.

Rev. "Dr. Talmage preached at Brooklyn Tabernacle last SundaySubject, ''Observations in. Russia and Great Britain. Text, Psalm exxxix, 9. He said

You all know why I went to Russia this summer. There are many thousands of people who have a right to say to me,' as was said in the Bible parable, "Give an account of thy stewardship. Through The Christian Herald, which I have the honor to edit, we had for months, in publishers, in reportorial and editorial columns, put before the people the ghastly facts concerning twenty million Russians who Were starving: to death, and subscriptions to the relief fund had come by letters that seemed not .so much written with ink as with tears, some of the letters practically saving, We find it hard to get bread for our own families, but we can not stand this cry of hunger from beyond the seas, and so please to receive the inclosed' And others hacTsent jewels from their hands and necks saying, "Sell these and turn them into bread. And another letter said:

Inclosed is an old gold piece. It was my mother's. She gave'it to me and told me never to part witli it except'for bread, and'Ttibw I ipcloso it. We had' gathered*.thirty-live "thous&nd dollars in money, .\yliiph we turned into three million pounds bf flour.

When I went, down to the board of trade at Chicago and left five thousand dollars of the amount raised with a prominent .flour merchag$, taking no receipt and leaving all'-jfo him to do the best thing and returned, it was suggested that I had not done things in- a business way. How could we know what' sort iof flour would be sent There1 are styles of%flour more fit for thetrough of swine than the mouths of hungry men and women. Well, as:'is customary, when the flour came to New York it was tested, and we found indeed they had cheated us. Tliey gave us better flour than we had bought. I bought in ChicEgo fine flour, but they sent us superfine. God bless the merchants of Chicago.

Now we know nothing about famine in America. The grasshoppers may kill the crops in Kansas, the freshets may destroy the crops along the Ohio, the potato worm may kill the vines of Long Island, the rust may get into the wheat of Michigan, yet when there has been dreadful scarcity in some pdrts of'tl/e land there has been plenty in other parts. But in districts of Russia, vast enough to drop several nations into them, drouerht for six consecutive years has devastated, and those districts were previously the most productive of all the empire.

It. was like what we would have in America if the hunger fierid somehow got out of hell and alighted in our land, and swept his wing over Minnesota and said, "Let nothing grow here." and over Missouri and said, "Let nothing grow here," and over New York state and said "Let nothing grow here," and over Ohio and Georgia and Massachusetts and Pennsylvania and Nebraska and Dakota and the Carolines and said, "Let nothing grow here," and the hungry fiend had swept the same withering and blasting wing over the best part of America in the years 1887, 1888, 1889, 1890, 1891 and 1892, and finally all our families were put on small allowance, and we all had risen from the table hungry, and after awhile the children had only quarter enough, and after awhile only one meal a day, and after awhile no good food at all, but a mixture of wheat and chaff and bark of trees, and then three of the children down with hunger typhus, and then all the family unable to walk, and then crawling on hands and knees, and then one dead in each room, and neighbors not quite so exhausted, coming in to bury them, and afterward the house becoming the tomb, with none to carry tho dead to more appropriate sepucher— whole families blotted out.

That was what occurred in Russia in homes more than were ever counted, in homes that were once as comfortable and happy and bountiful as yours or mine, in homes as virtuous as yours or mine, in homes where God is worshiped as much as in yours or mine. It was to do a little something toward beating back that archangel of wretchedness and horror that we went, and we have now to report that, according to the estimate of the Russian famine relief committee, we saved the lives of 125,000 people. As at the hunger reiief stations the bread was handed out—for it was made into loaves and distributed—many people would halt before taking it and religiously cross themselves and utter a prayer for the donors.

Some of them would come staggering back and say, "Piease tell us who sent this bread to us." And when told that it came from America they would say, "What part of America? Please give us the names of those who sent it." Ah, God only knows the names of those who sent it, but He certainly does know, and many a prayer is going up,

Perhaps some of

tables rattle off a prayer

that may meav nothing, although we call it "'saying grace," but I warrant when those people who received the

1 whieh saved their, lives~"said gfea«e" it meant something. Our religion may not demand that w© "cross ourselves," but I" have learned that while crossing one's self in sdtne cases may mean nothing but mere form, I believe in most cases it means, "Oh, thou of the suffering cross of Calvary, have mercy online and accept my gratitude." PrelvK' your own form of .religion by

I said respectfully to a Russian when I saw him cross himself,''What do you do that for?" "Oh," he said, "when I do that I always say, 'God have mercy on me!'" I hold in my hand something very suggestive. What does that black and uncomely thing look like? That is what is called hunger bread from Russia that is what millions of people lived on for months before help came from England, Scotland, Ireland and America that, is a mixture which seems to have in it not one grayi of Sustenance. It is a mixt.ure of,ja pig weed and chaff, and the sweepings of stables. That,vis something/ which, if dropped in the street, your dog or cat might sniff at, but woulcL'not eat. That was the only fpod ou whiche millions,-of men and women lived.

You must look at that hunger bread of Russia before you can get prbpec appreciation of- what an attractive .and- leautiful thing a good loaf of bread ,is! It is so common to us we cannot realize its meaning. Stop and look at it in a bakery windo jy or see it on your family table—I mean an:honest loaf of bread, white •a3 a. ball -of packed snow, with a crust browaas the autumnal, woods, and for a keen appetite more aromatic than flowers—a loaf of bread as you remember it in childhood, when the, knife in the hand.tQf! your father or mother cut .clean... through, from crust to crust, and -put before you, not a quarter of a slice or a half a slice, but a full, round slice, and another and another, just suited to a boy always ready to eat and for the most time hungry, even ina.well supplied house. 1 remember and you remember, if you had a healthy childhood, just how it tasted'. My! My! Plum pudding does not taste as good now as that piain bread'then. It was then bread at the table, and bread between meals, and bread before breakfast, and bread before going to bed'.-

But! have been asked by good people in Great Britain, andI Anaf&icp., again and again, why did not the prosperous people of Russia stoD that suffering themselves, making it useless for other nations to help. And I am always glad when I hear the question asked, because it gives me an opportunity of explaining. Have you any idea what it requires to feed twenty million people? There is only one being in the universe who can do it, and that is the Being who this morning breakfasted sixteen hundred million of the human race. The nobility of Russia have not only contributed most lavishly, but many of them went down and staid for months amid the gastliness, and the horror, and the typhus fever, and the

smallpox

When I saw a few days ago in the papers that the emperor and empress had walked through the wards of the most virulent cholera, talking with the patients, shaking hands with them and cheering them up, it was no surprise to me, for I said to myself, "That is just like them." Anyone who has ever seen the royal family will believe any thing in the way of kindnes ascribed to'them, and will join me in the execration of that too prevalent opinion that a tyrant is on the throne of Russia. If God spares my life I will yet show by facts beyond dispute that the most slandered and systamaticaily lied about nation on earth is Russia, and that no ruler ever lived more for the elevation of his people in education and morals and religion than Alexander the Third. So I put all the three prayers together—God save the President of the United States! God save the queen of England! God save the emperor and empress of Russia! I will, whether in sermons or lectures, I have not yet decided, show that nineteen-twentietlis of all things written and published against Russia are furnished by men who have been hired by other countries to "write up" or rather write down Russia, so as to divert commerce from that empire or becauseof international jealousies, 1 mtiSti fell you of a fpicture of pathos

fmeans, but do not depreciate the re\\aborers, who had comedown to offer "ligious forms of others. From all I Their services free of all change ior learn there were several good people before we were born, and I rather expect there will be several left after we^are dead. I have traveled in many lands, but 1 tell you plainly, as I told Emperor Alexaner III in the palace at Peterlioff, that I had never been so impressed with the fidelity to their religion of any peopleas by what I had seeu in Russia, and especially among her public men-

that they might admin

ister to the suffering. The emperor has made larger contributions toward this relief fund than auy monarch ever made for any cause since the world stood, and the'superb kindness written all over the faces of the emperor and empress and crown prince is demonstrated in what they have already done and are doing for the sufferers of their own country. When a few days ago I read in the papers that the emperor and empress, hearing an explosion, stopped the royal rail train to find out what had happened, and the empress knelt down by the side of a wounded laborer and held his head until pillows and blankets could be brought, and the two wounded men were put upon the royal train to be carried to a place where they could be better cared for, I said to my wife, just like her."

moral power impressed

upoaymy iniad, to that neither time

nor eteyfiity may effaco it. The ship Leo swung to the docks a few miles' below St. Petersburg loaded with flour from America. The sailors on board huzzard as they came to the wharf. From a yacht on which wo had descended the river to the sea citizeus of .. St. Petersburg disembarked. The bank was crowded by prosperous citizens, who stood on the wharf, and back of them by poor

the removal of the breadstufl's from the ship to the imperial freight train that took the flour to the interior free of charge. While we stood there the long freight train rumbled down to the docks, the locomotive and each car decorated with a flag— the American flag and the Russian flag alternating.

Though a flag to some eyes is only a floating rag, you ought to see how the American flag looks five thousand miles from home. It looked that day like a section of heaven let down to cheer mortal vision, Addresses of welcome and responses were made,and then the work began, the only contest being who should lift the hardest and be most expeditious.. From ship to rail train. From rail train to kneading board. From kneading board to oven. From oven to the white and quivering lips of the dying. Upon all who, whether by contribution small or large, helped make that scene possible may there come the benediction of him who declared, "I wa*s' hungry and ye fed me."

But I must also give a word of report concerning my other errand— the preaching of the Gospel in Great Britain-.last summer. It .was a tour I had for many years anticipated. With the themes of the Gospel I confronted more people than ever before in the same length of time—multitudes after multitudes beyond anything I can describe. The throngs in all the cities were so great that they could be controlled only by platoons of police, so that none should be hurt by the pressure, each service indoors followed by a service for the waiting throng", outdoors, and both by handshakings to tho la point of physical endurance.

As for myself, I was born so near the line that I feel as much at. homo in one denomination as another, and when in the Episcopal church the liturgy stirs my soul so that I cannot keep back .the tears, and it overwhelms me with its solemnity and its power. When in an old fashioned Methodist church the responses of "Amen!" and "Hallelujah!" lift me until, like Paul, I am in blessed bewilderness as to "whether in the body or out pf the body, God knoweth." And as for the Baptists, though I have never been anything but sprinkled, 1 have immersed hundreds and expect to immerse hundreds more in the baptistry under this pulpit where! now stand-

If the pessmists would get out of the way—the people who snivel and groan and think everything has gone to the dogs or is about to go—I say if these pessimists would only get out of the way, the world would soon see the salvation of God. Christianity is only another name for elevated optimism. Was Isaiah an optimist? See the deserts incarnadined with red roses and snowedjjunder with white lilies and his lamb asleep between the paws of a lion. Was St. John an optimist? Read the uplifting splendors in the Apocalypse and the hallelujah chorus with which the old book which they cannot kill, closes.

The greatest thing lean th:nk of would be to have a triple alliance of America, England and Russia in harmonization, and then to have upon all of them come a deluge of the Holy Ghost. Let the defamation of other nations cease. Peace and good will to men! For that glorious consummation,which may be nearer than we think, let us pray, remembering that God can do more in five minutes than man can do in five centuries. If the consummation is not effected in our day I shall ask the privilege of coming out from heaven a little while to look at this old world when it shall have put on its millennial beauty. I think God will let us come out to see it at least once in its perfected state before it is burned UP-

It doesn't take tnoch ef hunter to bag hi* trousera.

From the day in which I arrived at noon in Liverpool, and that night addressing. two vast assemblages, Until I got through my evangelistic journey, it was a scene of blessing to my own soul and I hope to others. I missed but three engagements of all the summer, and those from being too tired to stand up. At all the assemblages large collections were taken—the money being given to the local charities, feeble churches, orphan asylums or Young Men's Chris* tian Associations—my services being entirely gratuitous. But what a summer! There must have been much praying here aad elsewhere for my welfare, or nO mortal could have gone through all that I went through.

Only one thing I saw in the chapels and churches I did not like. That is a lack of appreciation of each other as between the national church and the dissenters. Now each is doing a great work that the other cannot do. .God speed them all— they of the episcopacy and they of the dissenters! Some need the ritu al of the national church and other? the spontaneity of the Wesleyan. In the kingdom of God there is room for all to work and each in his own way. Some people are born Episcopalians and others Methodists and others Baptists and others Presbyterians, and do not let us force our notions on others.
