liJCUJ iu ucaiai iu iucii vnmuiaipurpose. The ladies of St. Augustine’s Catholic church were arranging for a bazar, soliciting contributions and also chances on articles to be raffled, as is usual in such affairs. Ah! the Police Commissioners would take a chance to show the public that the anti-lottery law would be enforced, and they did. The ladies were notified that the raffling of articles at the bazar would be a violation of the anti-lottery law and would be suppressed by the police if atttempted. The ladies consulted attorneys and Mayor Rader, and proceeded in defiance of the warning of the Police Commissioners; they held the bazar and raffled articles; there was no police inteference, there have been no arrests.Now, there you are Messrs. Police Commissioners. Where are you at? The ladies raffled articles in defiance of your orders, and the real lottery which the law means to suppress still goes on, under noses, if not in defiance of your orders. Will you bring the case of the ladies before the grand jury to vindicate yourselves by having them indicted?
