LOTTERIA
A FOUNDLING’S FORTUNE. Received Feb. 25, 8.30 p.m. GENEVA, Feb. 24. A flower-seller in Bergamo .was surprised to find a baby girl a year old lying in a small box. A message pinned to her clothing read: “Goodbye, darling. We are too poor to keep you.” A number of people wanted to adopt the baby, so the Mayor of Bergamo decided to arrange a lottery with the baby as a prize. The winners proved to be an elderly childless couple. Subscriptions to the lottery have been banked as the child’s “dot.” Her Christian name henceforth will be Lotteria.
