TELEPHONE No. 168. Thursday, Nov. 12, 1896. The city council of New Orleans has just passed a law making the game of craps illegal. It does not matter where it is played, whether in-the streets, in the cluborat home, craps is especially singled out as the most depraved of gambling : games, not to be tolerated anywhere. . The game, according to a modern writer, is of New Orleans origin and over one hundred years old. Ber nard de Marigny, who entertained Louis Phillippe when he came to Louisiana, and who stood seventy years ago at the head of the Creole colony of the State as its wealthiest and most prominent citizen he was entitled to call himself marquis in Prance was the inventor or father of craps, and brought it into high favor as the fashionable gambling of the day. When be laid off his plan tation, just below the then city of New Orleans it is now the third district, but was then the Faubourg Marigny and divided it up into lots, he' named one of the streets Craps, and explained that he did so Because he had lost the money he re ceived jrom the sale of the lot on praps, his favorite game. The Jacksonville, Fla., Citizen very appropriately says. The great pational issue submitted to the voters in the presidential contest has been decided, and decided positively that every sensible man sees that the verdict must be pepted. The duty now before the people is to try to develoD the coun try on the financial standard that is tfl be maintained. Particularly is this the duty of the people of the gouth. The South is capable of vast growth. Its resources are immense and they have scarcely been touched Its people have paid too much atten tion to politics" and too little to busi ness. They have too generally taken up the Lotion that the government can make the nation prosperous stead of holding to the old and true Idea that success depends upon in dividual effort. A change in the financial standard has not been -A&eeded to enable the South to push jeWArward In the path of progress, to 8' ' The largest and fastest locomo 'J tlves in the world are two which ' , have - just been received by the Denver .and Rio Grande railway.
