London, Dec. 25.-(Copyright, 1897, by
the Associated Press. 1.-The alleged at
tempt Of the Prince of Monaco to
bleed" the Casino company has led
to the publication of a pamphlet by
group Of shareholders, full of interest
ing reading. While everybody is aware
that the Casino contributed largely to
his revenues, few people know that be-
sides the subsidy of the prince, the es-
tablishment keeps up the judges, po-
lice, lighting, water, postoft1ce, clergy
and charitable institutions. Last sea-
sons expenditures of the principality,
apart from the maintenance of the Ca
sine, which was 1854, 600, amounted to
E130,000, Of which sum the prince had
$4,000, the courts, police, etc, 10000;
clergy and schools, $4,000; charities,
$4,000; prizes for sports, e11,00O, and
the Dostoffice and losses $4,000 The
dividends on shares absorbed S576000,
making a total revenue OF G1, $4,000,
which the fools of the world" left at
the Monte Carlo garih I: Z tables. An

The pamphlet says that it Il abso-
lutely necessary to eXpend a large sum
i'll securing the good will of the CONT
mental press, and it is said that over
half Of the stories of suicides are only

COVETOUS PRINCE.
1t appears that the Prince of Monaco
attended recent meeting of the share
holders, and offered to renew the con-
cession for 80 years, the terms being a
gradual increase of his personal sub
sidy until the sum reaches 8100, 900 an
nually, q new port to be built at a
cost of 932O0O0, and an opera house
to be built costing 100000, and various
other items making a total of 6190,000
additional annually. Although the
prince has signed the new concession,
it remains to be seen whether the
Forthcoming meeting of the sharehold
I ers will approve accepting these eXorbi-
tant, terms.
CRIME DOESN'T PAY.
Paris police statistics just published,
effectually prove that murder does not
pay, from financial point Of view.
They enumerate u murders, by which
the assassins averaged $f6, and all the
criminals were guillotined. The statis-
tics also cite cases of over ZOE more or
less famous murders, yielding in many
cases but a. few cents. The biggest
haul was s65, although in many cases
large sums We're overlooked.

An anti-sugar bounty league was
formed on Wednesday under the presi-
dency of Lord Stanmore with the OBJ
| ject of abolishing or neutralizing du-
ties. Prominent firms in England con-
nected with sugar refining and the
Ychief proprietary and mercantile in
Z terests connected with the colonies
|. have joined the league. One speaker
/ emphatically stated that unless some
thing was done speedily the West
Indies would raise the stars and
stripes.
SUGGESTIVE PHOTOGRAPHS
/ According to the newspapers, the
| ladies of upper tendon, married and
/ single are tired of the hackneved
/ Christmas cards and are sending their
J favored friends photographs of them
selves as attired for bed.
The Chronicle thinks that although
.such souvenirs are suggestive of good
1 deal, night dress pictures are less i'm
/ proper than presentments of the same
| figures in ball dress.
NORTH POLE VOYAGE.
AS soon as Jackson, the explorer,
/ completes the work connected with his
F'ranz-J osephland expedition, he Will
start for the north pole. He Informed
a representative of the Associated
Press that his original plans were
identical with those of Lieutenant
! Peary except that he intended to take
the east coast of the island instead of
the west, mapping out undiscovered
land en- route. But since he heard the
Peary lectures, Jackson has changed
his plans, considering that the Ameri-
can has prior claims.
Jackson now proposes to proceed
/ via Davis straits and Baffins' bay up
the west coast to Elsmore and
4 Grinnell land and thence across to the
furthest point reached by Aldrich in
4 ing in the direction of any land visible
from the coast. The date of his de-
parture is unsettled. Jackson will have
/. only one mompanion outside of his
crew Talking over his plans, he said:
II hope to push my ship considerably
\ beyond Coburg Island at the entrance
to Jones sound and at the furtherest
north with sledges, dogs. and ponies
4 and with one companion. / expect to
be absent two years"
