The ‘matrimonial lottery” set up some time ago in Kansas City, Mo, has been ras: garded as @ good joke, but has a serious skie to it. The newspaper which has organized this business, has, with its mock professions of honesty of purpose and methods, drawn hundreds intoa foolishness which must be repented of with mortifica« tion and sorrow. a ‘matrimonial drawin,’’ for which maid« ens and widows send their names (and pho. tographs if they choose), and bachelors and widowers also furnish to the newspa- per their names and addresses, The for.- merare the premiums and the latter the subscribers,—the latter, for the drawing already held, being by far the more num-

his: signature that hewas an unmarried man. Drawing takes place as in a lottery. the man whose name is drawn With a woman’s number being expected to make her acquaintance, and if agreeable, to marry her. At the July drawing two hun, dred and forty-two women thus put them. selves up for chance acquaintance with men equally silly, and the result of the drawing is announced in the next issue of the paper. The motive in most cases is, doubtless, curidsity and a liking for “ fun,”’ as many look at it. On the part of the paper, however, it is simply a o-nsurable device to make money. Besides the mat- rimonial there is a pecuniary lottery, en~ tirely distinct, where the amount of money to be distributed is small, but the privilege of buying a ticket is limited to patrons of the paper, which thus enlarges its field for mischief. This novel and reprehensible idea has only begun to work, Further
