THE LOTTERY AND POSTOFFICE Homo Kcccntrlcltlcf * of tlio Mnn AVhoHo Aim Scorned to Ho to Mnnng6 n Gigantic Girt Sclicinc. Jninos M. Pnltcp. In tlio dcnth of .Tninos M. Pattco , ono of the oldest citizens of Omiihn , becomes extinct. Anon-resident here for more tlmn iluo yours , yol retaining an al most undlminishcd interest up to the duyof his decease in Omaha's realty , Mr. Pattco can justly 1 > o claimed as ono of us. His death at the family residence on Wavcrly Place , St. Louis , a locality , while not strictly aris tocratic in a modern sense , yet is ac counted the habitat of bomo of the old est and most wealthy of tlio St. Louis population , revives recollections of a by-gone day in Omaha , and in winch .lames M. Pattco played a very promi nent part. There are some of Omaha's old settlers tlors who have very vivid remem brances of the times in which Pattee figured , and can recount many of the pecularillos that characterized his bus iness movements. In the first few years of his residence in this city ho failed to display any of these eccentricities , such as ho is said to have evidenced later. Ho wai hero to make money by the shortest route , and in the easiest man ner possible. That ho succeeded is bo- yound all doubt , attested to by the valuable real estate pur chases ho made from tlmo to time , for which ho always paid in ha rd cash. IIo novcr cniibblcd about a dollar or two in muleiiiIT u bargain. The waj ho ncquircd'this wealth is well Known. In these days , the "lottery scheme" was new , at least in the northwest. It had thospico of excitement , about it so very fascinating to both old and young. Pattoe was a brainy follow ; in certain directions at all events and the gullu- blo Ncbraskans and people in other states fell into his scheme with avidity. Kverythlng came his way. All the \isuiil decoys were thrown out , and acted like a charm , and the Foucho of the Northwestern lottery fake , nourished apace. Nor did ho do things by halves. On the site where is now Lfornbcrgcr's saloon on Douglas street , between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets , ho opened an ollico and commenced opera tions in great fatyle. "It was no un- commo.n thing , " 'saysa certain member of our present juiiiciary , who know Pat tee very well , "lor an order to bo given by him for the printing of 1,000,000 posters as large as the present Omaha liiii : . They were always printed on pink paper , and sot up in the most at tractive dross , that the printing ollico could supply. " This lottery manipulator was as prod igal in tlio help he hired as ho was in his printing. Thcro were between lifty and sixty clerks kept constantly at work bending out circulars , issuing tickets , and attending to the various details of the business. Pattco favored female labor , and consequently the major portion tion of his clerical help were composed of females. Says the same member of the judiciary : "Pattoo had a keen cyo for female beauty , and his female clerks were tlio linost-looking girls you ever saw in your lifo. Indeed , some of them were beautiful " women , and.the 'boys' in thoso" days used to patronize the lot tery ollico more for the chance of ex changing 'soft nothings' with the f emi- iiino clerics than for any great interest they might feel in the result of Specula tions in a ticket. " Patteo was an indefatigable worker. From early morning until late at night , ho was on the alert. It is not surpris ing1 to know that his operations became enormous. Tlio mail each day brought such quantities of communications to his olllce that the ordinary postal facili ties of thai day were paralized. Such nn unexpected rush of business had the effect "laying out" Postmaster Gritlin , and something had to bo done to meet the dilllculty. That "something" was of great mo ment to Omaha , and had a great in fluence upon her future. She was raised to the dignity of a postollice of the llrst class. The population of the city at the time , nor the amount of post- olll'co business transacted ( outside of Patteo's lottery operations ) did not war rant such an honor. But it came never theless , and to the man who died lately , mubt the credit bo awarded. But Patteo was an ambitious man , nnd Hew at high game. In 1871 ho became the proprietor of a newspaper. It was called the Dispatch. It died in a short time. It was principally used to "boom" the lottery busincs , and probably answered its purpose. Some pcoplo have boon ungenerous enough when speaking of Patteo's lottery to refer to it as ono of "all blanks and no prizes. " This is not true. There may not have been a superfluity of "nost oggs" in it , but there is no doubt that some people did draw lucky numbers and derived corresponding spending linancial benefit therefrom. So successful did Mr. Patteo find his lottery business , that in 187.H , still re taining his Omaha ollico. ho opened a branch establishment in Laramie City , and did a land olllce business for nearly four years in thatsectionof the country. It is further stated by some , that Den ver , Col. , was also favored by his pres ence and an ollico , but this report can not bo authenticated. But it is certain that ho operated in various parts of Wyoming territory , with his usual measure of success. In the winter of 1881 and 1SS2 , Pat teo's olllccs were transferred from Douglas street to the building nt the northwest corner of Sixteenth and Far- nam streets , formerly the city linll , and as usual , began to manipulate lottery tickets. Whether the people of Omahu had grown tired of the game of chance as exemplified by Pattoo , or had suc cumbed to a spasm of virtue , or whether the lottery agency interfered with the success of the gambling fraternity , it is hard to say , but , at this point of the cltv's hlbtory , an effort was made to put a stop to all lotteries by process of law. District Attorney Bnrnhain preferred a charge against Patteo before the grand jury belting forth that according to the btatuto law of Nebraska , lotteries were illegal. An indictment followed , to gether with a prolonged triftl. Pat- too'a couiibol were Go no nil Co win nnd John M. Thurston. It wus no use , lot teries hnd to go , and Patteo was found guilty nnd lined $500 , Accepting the inevitable , ho closed his ollluo , not , however , before taking the best legal opinion | n the city upon the question. This opinion , in oyery instance , wont to support the verdict of tlio court , After tins Puttee seems to have soured somewhat on Omaha. Hie wlfo is described as never having thor oughly acclimated in the west , nnd yielding to her solicitations , ho removed to S' , . Louis , visiting this city , hovovor , nt iritorvals to look after his real estate , but never being moro lhan n transient visitor. Ho does not appear to liavo tried the lottery scheme In the Mound city , but simply conlontcd himself with superintending the investments he made froin tlmo to time in St. Louis realty. It Is said that of Into years , nnd in his old ago , ho conceived great ideas as to the soundness of investment In St. Louis securities , nnd placed every dollar ho wns worth in them. If reports are to bo believed , ho was judi cious in so doing , for ho is reputed to have loft behind him n fortune of about $500,000. ' Mr. Patteo wns born nt Enfield , Grafton - ton county , N. II. , on April 0. 18 ! . IIo came of a sturdy English yeoman stock , nnd in his early youth had few educational privileges , having to do laborers' work upon his father s farm situated in Canaan , N. II. A fcovero injury received while doinir Hold work incapacitated him for further manual labor , nnd at the ago of eighteen year * ho entered nn academy In the village of Caiman and wont through a preparatory course of study for three years. Clo.so application to study had the olTect of nnuorminlng his health , so ho had to give that up. Being a good penman ho thought , it would be n good Idea to teach writing. In this he was eminently successful nnd wound up this adventure by opening and conducting for a considerable time , the Boston ( Mass. ) Commercial college. Being of a thrifty disposition Pattco had by this time accumulated a few thousand dollars and like many others of his day , in the year 1833 lie came west , and made investments in real es tate in Chicago , Hock Island and other places. "Money makes money , ' ' it is said , and Patteo's "specs" turned out regular bonanzas. IIo literally piled them up upon edge. In ISo-f ho re turned to Now Haven and married MJS.S Eunice D. Head , a beautiful and accom plished society lady , the daughter of the Into Henry A. Head , a leading merchant of New Haven. By this mar riage live children , all daughters , were born. While a resident in 1882 in this city , his youngest child died , an occur rence that both.Pattoe and wife took to heart very much , and coupled with his legal troubles at the same time , may have had much to do with his leaving Omaha. After being married , a tour of Illinois , Iowa and Nebraska was under taken by the newly married couple. After a residence of a few years in the Quaker City , Patteo and wife went to Europe and spent two years "doing the sights'1 of the old country. In Mi ! and ' ( ! , ' ! California was the base of his opera tions , and like everything else ho put his hands to , Pattco's quartz and gold mining turned out immensely success ful. In 1871 ho came toOmalia. The subject of this writing has been variously described by some as a j t ing avaricious fellow ; a crank on' J { ' ligious matters and undesirable'1" associate. While it is to be that ho was a man , somewhat and possessing traits of character dis tasteful to many. Still ho did have business and domostio relations worthy of commendation. There are many in Omaha , who to this day refer to Pattce as an upright man in business. His domostio lifo was above reproach. lie literally worshiped his family. All that money could inirehaso for their comfort was nroeureu. Nothing was too good for thorn. The Patteo residences , both in Omaha and St. Louis , were cel ebrated for the insignificance of furnish ing. Outside of business his liberality was simply remarkable. The llnest ed ucational advantages were given to his family , and the benefit of foreign travel placed at their disposal. Indeed he seemed to lead all his lifo n sort of a dual existence. The James M. Patleo during business hours ; and the James M. Patteo at homo with the cr.res and worry of every day life cast aside , were two distinct people. Finally on December 1 ! ) the last call oame. Three week's illness had in some measure prepared his family for this termination to a busy , varied and eminently successful career. And , sur rounded by these whom he had loved so .veil , and for whoso comfort ho had so assiduously catered all his life , ho passed away. With all his defects , ho was a good citizen of Omaha. He caused lots1 of money to circulate here , and lielp udjtQ build up tlio city in n great mca' ire. According'to the lights of his day , hi * lottery schemes were not. breeches\ > F the law ; and if ho was a "fakir1. ' or iV iramblor ; ho at least had the merit of being a law-abiding one when ordered to close up , he obeyed.

J3. ! [ Special CoiTcxpondonco of Tin ; Bin : . ] The Homo for Disabled Volunteers is about fifteen miles from this oily niul two miles this Bide of Santa Monica. The government lias obtained a tract of land hero comprising GOO acres , and here is to bo established u soldiers' homo which shall eclipse any other In the country. Tlio grant of land carried with it a bonus for improving the property , and the government Is practically com mitted to a largo additional appropria tion. Thrco-llfths of the land wasglvon to'tho government by Senator .lonos of Nevada and U. G. linker of this city , who own tin innnoiibo tract surrounding Santa Monica and reaching from the sea baclc to the mountains. Tlio site was selected by a commis sion , at the head of which was General iS'cgioy. One can hardly conceive of a more lovely location than the ono selected. The tract of land Is chiclly mesa and slopes gently from the foot hills oj the Santa Monica mountains to the ocean. Tlio spot chosen for the buildings is quite elevated , and from the verandah of ono of the barracks can bo scon a wide oxpaiibd of valley , the distant peaks of tlio Sierra Mad re , the San Bernardino and thcSan Jacinto mountains. The snow-capped summit of Old Baldy , seventy-live miles distant , San Bernardino and Gray baclc 100 mill's away and the rugged peak of San .lacinto ) oO miles away , are distinctly visible on a 6lcar day. Tlio city of Los Angeles , the llaiiuinii Hotel at Pasadena , Inulo- wood , Long Ueach , Qallona Harbor , Santa Monica and several smaller vil lages tire tilbo in plain sight. The roar of the waves of the ocean can be heard , and across Simla Monica hay the Catahna island is hoea. Be tween that iblantl and the main land can frequently be been the shipping entering or departing from San Pedro harbor. Back of the homo are the Santa Monica mountains , and the canon of the same name. Liveoul ; trues , hcattcrod over the intervening' foot hills like scattering trees in an old orchard , relieve the otherwise uninter esting tisouet of these rolling heights , The cool brcczu ftom tliu ocean , tem pered by the proximity of tlio low mountain range gives to the spot on which the homo is situated the climatic conditions most to be desired. The bummer's heat can never bo intolerable and the winter's chill seldom reaches a temperature huliiciently low to occa sion oven frost. The tcndercst of semitropical - tropical plants , llpwers and trees will llourish. The grounds are so shaped-by nature and so bituntcd for atmospheric conditions as to be susceptible of the hijrhcbt , degree of embellishment. The btately palm , tlio luxuriant banana , and all the trees which make our homes hero so beautiful areito bo planted. Flowers and fruits will abound. In fahorl it is the purpose oftho olilcers of tlio home here to spare cno pains , no ex pense , no clTort , to nmko this the most beautiful spot on earth. ' The beautiful sloping mesa , the ravines , the knolls , and even the rugged cliffs arc all to be made as attractive aa the landscape gardener's art can plan sind large a p propriations execute. There are now four barracks in course of construction , two being nearly com pleted. Two cottages ml a barn are the other buildings. ' The barracks have accommodations for > 100 persons in each. There are to < bo twenty-live similar buildings , according to the plan. The better of thetwo ! cottages .is to be the gardener's residence. An . " 58,000 cottage is to bo built at once for 'the ' governorind one to cost $0,000 for 'the surgeon. The four barracks tire quite hand some in architecture , ana will coit com plete 8110,000. Each lias a wide veran dah 400 feet long in front and on tlio two ends. Reading rooms , reception rooms , bath and sleeping rooms are provided in each. A temporary dining room , Milllciont to accommodate ) sol diers , is to bo erected immediately near the barracks. This will eventual ly bo replnceri by a capacious one to beat IV'UU when the work hm further progressed. A large hospital , and an extensive mmrtorinastpr's htoro with other buildings , are included in the plan of improvements. The biiparvis- ing carpenter advised mo that & 2oOGOO would lie expended on the grounds within live year.- ) . There are now some fortv disabled veterans cared for at the Home. They are temporarily quartered in a rough board building , and are by no moans comfortable. A great many applica tion ? are received , and only btich as are easily dissuaded from coming are kept away. The ex-soldiers are very much interested in the southern homo which is to be provided hero. Governor Brown thinks the accommodations will be taxed to their utmost almost im mediately after their completion. No moro delightful spot can bo secured for the war-worn patriots who wish to pass their decliningyears ; in comfort. Like ovorvthing else , the Soldiers' Homo partook of the nature of a real Obtnto speculation , .lonos & Baker made their magnificent donation of BOO acres to assist them in sailing off sev eral thousand acres. When the homo was located , a tract adjoining was im mediately platted into acre lots and was mimcil Nogloy Villa. Another syndicate laid off a town site near and called It Suiibot. This syndicate sub scribed $100,000 as a cash donation to bo used in beautifying thopromises. It staked off acres of town lots , started to build a mammoth hotel and subsidized a railway to build hitherward. The Los Angeles county railroad , building at the time toward Santa Monica , nlbo contributed to the enterprise. But the real estate buyers , after investing in Suriset , began' to grow indifferent to speculation. The second and third pny- ments wore not met , and much of the land remained unsold. The hotel is yet unfinished , n monument to the folly of the forinoi a great , gloomy , unpainted - painted box on the open prnirio. The $100,000 was hurd to get , and in lieu of two-thirds of it the Home commission took an additional 200 acres of land , and agreed to accept $33t3a : in cash in ton equal payments. The government is to bo congratulated upon the princely property secured , and the disabled vet erans are to bo happy in their beautiful homo , but the real estate speculators will hardly realize their hopes in hard cash , whatever onjoyinout they may obtain from the' thought of having contributed BO generously to the enter prise.
