Mlble house.
Bare worka tha greatest organisation
which In ita eighty-eight years of life haa
aent Blblea to the remotest corner of the
earth a grand total of 70,000,000 of them,
printed In more than ISO languages.
The mere translating of the Bible into
these languages haa been a stupendous
task. The difficulty of rendering an ex
pression la sometimes almost insurmount
able. How, for Instance, translate the phrase
"Lamb of Ood'" into tha language of the
Esquimaux, who never aaw a sheep? Tho
translators did the beat they oould and
called it "Little seal of Ood."
One translator in China took the wrong
word for a palm tree and represented
the multitudes who went out to meet our
Lord In Mount Olivet aa casting In His
path formidable thorns. Another translat
ing novice in central Africa, trying to
render the parable of the aower, repre
sented carnivorous blrda as devouring the
aeeds which fell by tha wayside.
A translator must devote his life to the
work, aa did Bishop Schereschewsky! This

Over Five Millions of Dollars have been
Spent to make the merits of Cascarets

They are Trada Thieves who would rob
Cascarets of the "Good Will" of the people,

remarkable Bible scholar, although well
nigh helpless physically through Incurable
paralysis, for more than fourteen years
pounded on the typewriter with the soli
tary forefinger whose use he retained,
preparing every word of both testaments
for his monumental translation into the
Easy Wen Li dialect of Chinese, thus
making the Bible accessible to scores of
millions of people who speak that tongue.
Bishop Schereschewsky sat In the very
same chair for nearly twenty years, work
ing with amazing persistence and requiring
two secretaries to keep pace with him. At
his death a few weeks ago he was plan
ning twleve years additional work.
When the Bible society working In Natal,
South Africa, began the translation of the
New Testament into Zulu It was almost a
task of despair. The mental capacity of
the Zulus was of the lowest order, and
they had practically no terms to express
spiritual truths. There was no proper word
for "Ood," and of course, none for such
abstract terms as "faith," "holiness,"
"worship," "conscience," "honesty," etc. A
spiritual vocabulary had to be created, and
existing worda applied to material things
had gradually to be twisted around with an
ingenuity truly amaslng.
But at last the Zulus possessed a com
plete Zulu Bible In one volume, which was
available for the millions of African sav
ages who ranged from the borders of Cape
Colony on the south to the shores of Lake
Nyassa on the north, and from the Indian
ocean on the east to the western borders
of the Transvaal and Rhodesia on the west.
In scores of places the same wonderful
work Is in progress. No man can fall to be
Impressed by the sight of one of these
manuscripts, which entail long, dreary
years of thought and Infinite labor. And
yet the Bible society sells a well made
Gospel for 1 cents a copy, a New Testa
ment for B, and a complete Bible for 15
cents. The work of the society Is not done
for a profit, and Bibles are sold at actual
cost, or less, many thousands of them be
ing distributed free.
The task' of translating the Bible Into
some of the thirty-four languages and dla
leeta of the Philippine waa begun within
"two weeka after Admiral Dewey's victory
at Manila. Today a complete Testament in
Tagalog, Tlorano and Pampanga may be
had. while the Pangas'nanes. Btcols. Ce
buans and Levteans now read the Bible In
their own tonguea through the Qoepels
shipped out and spread broadcast In the
t.ono islands of the Philippine group.
This leads us to a still more Interesting
and romantic phase of the work tha dis
tribution of the Bibles In remote and sav
age landa. The men who do this work are
explore re, who sometimes fall by the way,
victims of wild beasts, disease, hostile sav
sges and the forces of nature, ranging
from lightning to tempestuous seas. This
distribution cost more than IMn.flOO last
year, notwithstanding the value received In
barter and cash.

An Omaha visitor to New Orleans during
Mardi Oraa week a few years ago was
chaperoned by an agreeable and remi
niscent native. Walking up Canal street
viewing the sights the guide stopped in
front of a building in process of construc
tion on a corner lot. "Did you try your j
luck In Louisiana?" the visitor waa
asked. "Yes." "How much did you win?"
' Not a picayune," "Take on of these
bricks home aa a souvenir.' remarked the
guide, picking up a polished, dark brown
sample. "This building Is a memorial of
the Louisiana lottery. The country fur
nished the money and Morrla is doing the
rest,"
The visitor fondled the sample brick a
moment and thought of the millions of
people who contributed to the pile as well
aa the millions of "gold bricks" handed
back in exchange. It was the plan of the
game.
The memory of the Incident and of tha
lottery long since dead are awakened by
the action of the' federal grand Jury of
Louisiana In bringing In Indictments against
the officers and agenta of the Honduras
National Lottery company, successors of
the notorious Louisiana. Mobile was the
center of activity and twenty-six agents
and officers are named In the Indlctmenta.
Secret aervlce officers, In nharge of Chief
Wllkte, have seized bales of lottery docu
ments and are confident of routing the
Inst stand of the lottery promoters and
landing them In the penitentiary.
Easy Money.
For many years the Honduras Lottery
company has meant "easy money" for a
number of men who have as a rule, up to
the present time, been able to evade the
law. WUkle says that a conservative esti
mate of the profits of the concern Is $150,000
a month, and there were not more than
eight principals in on the "rtlwy." There
were a lot of other men connected with
tha scheme, but they were not sharers of
the "main graft." They had to be content'
with nominal spoils, although these some
times reached high figure.
Among the promoters of the lottery are
Frank Fitzpatrlck of Boston, who has
pleaded guilty and is awaiting trial. Others
were William and Harry Henderson, who
were recently arrested in Los Angeles,
whence they had arrived by fast express
train from New York after they found that
secret service officers were camping on
their tracks. William waa the New York
state agent for the Honduras National
Lottery company, and at the very time
when the government was about to cab
some of the principals and agents of the
company he waa engaged In a row with
some of the promoters of the company In
New Orleans. When Henderson took over
the New York agency he gave to his
predecessor $10,000, which was to be re
turned to him by the company. The com
pany did not recognize the claim, or at
least failed to pay up, whereupon Hender
son diverted to his own personal use the
money which he has collected from the
sales of lottery tickets. This created a
commotion among the officials in New Or
leans, where the roots of the old lottery
system still survive.
Harry Henderson was known among the
agenta and employes of the lottery con
cern aa "Mr. Fixlt." His business wss to
make himself generally useful by furnish
ing ball and clearing tha portway wherever
the lotteries , encountered a strong arm of
the law. "Mr. Fixlt" long ago proved
himself a diplomatist and a man of great
resources. He has been Indicted, and If
the Honduras company was not now out
of business for good and all, as the federal
authorities believe it Is, he would be sadly
missed by all the agents and emissaries of
the "sure thing" combine.
Dave Herman Morris and Alfred Morris
of New York and New Orleans and Frank
T. Howard of New Orleans are Involved
in the indictments. The Morrlsses are
sons of John A. Morris, the lottery king,
who died in 1894. a few years after the
Louisiana game was excluded from the
use of the United States malls. Howard
Is a son of the late Charles T. Howard,
associate of the elder Morris.
A Famous Game.
The Louisiana lottery, of which the Hon
duras company Is the successor, was al
most a household word in the United
States up to 1886. In that year the use
of the United States malls was denied to
the company, and the company's charter
expired in 1SS2. Fabulous sums were of
fered for the privilege of continuing busi
ness under a new charter, but Louisiana
showed Itself not Insensible to the pro
tests of its sister states, and an over
whelming public sentiment, by declining
the golden bait. Then the company was
reorganized and continued its business
nominally In Central America. Another
check was received three or four years
ago when the transportation of lottery
tickets by express companies was stopped
by the Interstate commerce laws. Still the
business haa flourished, although not ou
the same prodigious scale of a Monte
Crlsto romance. It has been said that the
Hondura authorities received $10,000 a
year for allowing the new company to con
duct its monthly drawings In that country.
The last drawing was held In January last.
After that things began to get hot for the
lottery managers.
In Its halcyon days the Louisiana Lottery
company's possible receipts were $4,000,000
a month, with aggregate prises of about
60 per cent thereof, but unaold tickets were
always put Into the wheel and often drew
the prizes, the largest of which In the palm
iest days waa $300,000. One-quarter of the
capital prize waa won In 1890 by one of
the anti-lottery leaders, who accepted a
IS ticket from a vender In partial payment
of a debt that the anti-leader could not
otherwise collect. This winning played a
big part In the lottery argument that the
antla were insincere and were using "re
form" aa the lever to lift themselves Into
power.
How the Meaey Rolled la.
Th principal stockholders of the lottery
rapidly amaaxed fortunes, and whr.n John
A. Morris died about ISM hla wealth was
estimated by close friends to e between
$18,000,000 and $30,000,000. He wiia net on'y
the largest stockholder of the old lottery
company, but the dally drawing wti his
personal property, and thla alons paid him
profits of about $1,500 a day. Mr. Morris
founded West Chester park, the famous
racing track, and also the Morris stablea,
which, in recent years, have furnished the
colors for some notably blooded animals.
While the Morrises and Howards snd
their associate, chief among whom were
Albert Baldwin and Chapman Hyams,
amassed fortunes, social sentiment for
years ran very strongly against them be
cause of the lottery. So strong was It, In
fact, that Mr. Howard was blacklisted
when he applied for tnemberahp In th
Jockey club that owned and operated th
famous Metarle race track. Thereupon he
swor that h would convert th race
track Into a oemeUry. Today th Howard

Th lottery had no rival In respect of
risks and gf.lns chiefly gains and none as
regarded th extent and magnitude of its
operations. In times past many sensa
tional storlea concerning Monte Carlo have
been told, but during the last fifteen yeara
of the Ufa of the Louisiana lottery more
money changed handa through Ita ma
chinery than waa exchanged through tha
procesaea of the Casino five tlmea over.
Not less thsn S0.0CO human beings were
supported by Ita activities. Millions of
dollars were handled every month, and
thousanda upon thousands every day be
sides. In addition to the twelve big draw
ing every year there were the dally draw,
ings, known as policy." In New Orleans
and elsewhere. Agents In Boston. New
York, TV'aalilBglen, JPfcUadelabJe, Chicago,
Cincinnati and hundreds of big American
cltlea earned enormoua incomes. Employes
innumerable received handsome stipends.
Banks, printing presses and many other In
dustries waxed fat and prospered beyond
computation. Attorneys, lobbyists, mis

catching the golden shower. And yet with
these incalculable expenses, which would

and splendor, the stockholders divid.-d

START OF THETRISC0 EXPOSE
How I.anardon, Ileaey and Spreckrla
Got Iato the Hoot for
Graft.
The anti-graft uprising In flan Francisco
Is due to a combination of three accidents
William H. Langdon, Francis J. Heney snd
Rudolph Bpreckles.
Langdon Is sn accident because Rurf
Insisted on his getting out of the office of
superintendent of schools to make a for
lorn hope run fur district attorney partly
because Ruef wanted the auperlntendeney
for a friend and partly because he thought
langdon would be safe. Bane and pliable
in case he ahould by any chance be elected.
Heney comes Into the case by the acci
dent of a speech, delivered in behalf of
Ataer tWi. Unix's opponent (and Incidentally
of Langdon'a opponent), at the close of the
municipal campaign In November, 1906. On
the heels of hla triumph over the Oregon
land thieves he was asked to speak at the
final rally of the fusion party that had
united the republican and democratic or
ganizations for the defeat of Echlmtz, and.
carried away by the Intoxication of his
own eloquence, he told the big meeting
that he knew of his own knowledge that
Ituct was a grafter and that before a
year mas up the peopl.j of Ban Francisco
would call upon him to come back and put
Ruef in Fan Quentln.
Subsequently he was sorry he spoke, for
the then sitting grsnd Jury asked him for
his proofs, and he had nothing better to
produce than the certainty of moral con
viction held In common with several thou
sand of his fellow citizens. A few days
later Schmlts was re-elected by sn ex
traordinary majority. Ruef was triumph
ant, and Heney was left to occupy the un
grateful role of the person known In
sporting circles aa the "four-flusher." The
spirit of Heney rankled under the Injury
to his reputation, and when the moment
came that gave him the chr.nce to make
