TOYING WITH FORTUNE.
Futile Attempts to Beat the Bank
Monte Carlo.

Monte Carlo.
MONTE CARLO, March S.-Several in
stances, of the futility of trying to Cheat
the bank" were recol ded here this
week.
The first is that OF an Englishman, who,
week ago, by an extraordinary run OF
luck, won $1,000. Not satisfied with
his success, the winner continued to
tempt fortune, and the result was that
he has lost, not only all he had won,
but G15,000 besides.
The second case is that of an English
earl who, on Monday last, won 165, 900
francs, all of which sum, with several
thousand francs more, have since passed
into the hands of the croupiers.
The third unfortunate is an alien duke,
whose winnings. if he made any, are
not recorded, but who is known to have
lost within the last few weeks the hand
some fortune of 100000 francs.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, March S.-The
First National bank of Pittston received
letter from Spain, signed by priest,
stating that vast sum of money was
buried somewhere in this vicinity. The
letter says one of the most favored of the
courtiers of the late King Alphonso was
given large sum of money, said to be a
million francs, while the king was on
his death-bed, in return for favor.
The queen was jealous of the courtier,
and at the kings death instructed her
ambassador to arrest the courtier for
stealing casket containing number Of
jewels from the palace. He fled to
America and buried the treasure, but re-
turned to Spain and was arrested and
put in prison, where he died. The plans
of the place where the treasure is buried
were in satchel which was taken by
the tribunal, who, not knowing the con-
tents, offered to dismiss the suit on the
payment of the costs. The priest asks for
money to pay the costs and obtain the
satchel and plans.

admitted up TO 1884. At that time paper
relating to the rights of girls to share the
benefits ofMr. Miller's gift was presented to
the visitor. of the institution, and by them

an Interpretation of the will OF Mr.. Miller
under which girls were admitted into the
school on the order of the Court. Girls
were first admitted in November. 1884.
2. Only residents Of Albemarlc county are
admitted under the provisions of tho will.
The district school trustees of the respec-
tive districts of the county OF Albemarle
select and designate the children OF the
county who come under the requirements
of Mr.. Miller's will. From said list, made
and revised by the school trustees every
six months, the Court appoints the pupils
of the school. Thepupls are clothed, fed.
taught, and cared for wholly at tho expense
of the school.
1t will be we'll to remark incidentally
that in 1890. 169 boys and 81. girls were pre-
sent at the school. and including the year
1890, 444 boys and 1903 girls have entered
