THEY SWALLOW THE BAIT.
Stories Of Big Winnings Bringing Crowds
to Monte Carlo.


1t was lucky day for the managers
of the Monte Carlo Casino when, in
studying how TO avoid being bled by
journalistic blackmailers, they hit upon
the plan Of devoting part OF Their Ill
gotten gains to the formation Of what
Prince Bismarck would have called the
"reptile fund" for the purpose of sub
sidizing the purchasable press in their
interest. Since that time the world has
been edited from time TO time by circum-
stantal accounts of the most tremend-
Gus runs of luck on the part OF frequent
ers of the Monte Carlo tables, and win
nings have been reported as OF common
occurrence sufficient TO break the bank
though IL had been backed by the Roths-
childs That these ingenious bats have
been swallowed is apparent from the in
creased attendance at the salons.
The latest story of the kind was to the
effect that the Duchess of Montrose had
left Monte Carlo richer by $50, 900 francs
than when she arrived there. Follow
ing upon this announcement came rush
to the famous gambling place, the
crowds being larger than ever known
there before. The receipts of the bank
I'm the last month have been something
fabulous. AS one result there have been
no less than seven suicides of ruined
players since May /. The last self-mur-
der TO be recorded is that OF Bavarian
banker. who is said 10 have lost a
million francs of his own and his ellie ats
money.
