One of the most cruel stories that we
have read for long while is that of
the remarkable find of guineas, some
81 in number, by two little girls at
play in a garden Of the village of Lud-
dington, near Goole, in Lincolnshire.
1t is fine marshy country that con-
ceals excellently well any secret COM
mitted to it's keeping. Here these lit
tie girls found one of the guineas lying
on the grass and called their mother.
The soil was dug up, when about fifty
were discovered. At this very pleas
ant point in the story, the inevitable
marplot of all childrens best devices
swoops down in the shape of the police
and the law, claiming the guineas as
treasure trove" for the crown. The
guineas were in fine state of preser-
walton. Their date is 1774 and later,
and no doubt they must have belonged
to some former owner Of the house,
pulled down last year, which stood in
the garden where the little girls found
the guineas of which the hard law de-
spoiled them.-Country Life.

A Pike County Mira Gle.

velpen, Ind, June 17.-Wm. o. B..
Sullivan, farmer Of this place, and
who is a brother of ex-Representative
Sullivan of Pike and Dubois counties,
has had a remarkable experience re-
Gently.
Mr.. Sullivan is 40 years of age, and
has been citizen Of Pike County for
80 years. For two years, he has suffer-
ed much with kidney trouble and rheu-
matism. His shoulders and side were
very sore and stiff, and his back was
so bad he could hardly straighten up
at all. He had palpitation of the
heart, and smothering which was
very distressing. He used three boxes
of Dodds Kidney Pills, and is as
strong and we'll as ever he was. He
pronounces his cure miracle. Mr..
Suilivan's statement of his case is
startling.
"A month ago was a cripple. To-
day can do hard days work every
day, and have not single ache Or
pain"
Dodd's Kidney Pills have done some
wonderful cures in Indiana, but none
more miraculous than that in the case
of Mr. Sullivan.

Let us now proceed to the debit side
Of the Casino account. To take the
items of expenditure in the order given
upon the balance-sheet, of a recent

stain which his father had laid upon
it, restore the prestige of the ancient

The CASINO

Prince Charles granted thirty years
concession 20 a company with capital
of $5OO,O to carry on the gambling
business.
Pere Blanc, who was man of the
French bourgeois type, simple in his
habits, but clever and strong-headed in
finance, died on July 9th, 1877, leaving
a fortune of nearly s35,OOOOO0; and
this notwithstanding the immense
sums that were spent during his re-
markable career upon his several
gambling establishments.
The Casino was carried on for the
Blanc family by Count Bertora (who
aSpired to marry the old mans widow
until the original concession expired,
in 1883. In October of that year he
was successful in concluding another
thirty years contract with Prince
Charles for consideration OF $250,OOO
per annum from the profits of the
gambling and 5000 shares in the new
company which it was then decided to
forM
The statutes of this the existing
company are dated December IA, 1882;
theys were, approved and signed by
Prince Charles on March Is, 1883; ana
in them are embodied all the con-
ditiohs of the original concession, GER
tain notifications being made to meet
the requirements demanded by the new
management.
a C,o.. corporatio with S8.OOO,O 900
The capital of the concern was fixed
at $s,oCO,Ooo, divided into 10000 shares
of 500 each, to bear fixed interest
at the rate of per cent, or S. per an
mum, payable after the half-yearly
meeting in November and dividend
upon the profits of the gambling of the
year-the amount to be divided by the
directors at the annual meeting in
April. A clause was inserted in the
statutes to the effect that, in order to
be able to take part in these meetings,
a shareholder must own at least 2oO
of the shares, or $4,000 worth of the
Casino stock; and, when the allotment
was made, good care was taken that
only members and friends of the Blanc
family. should be permitted to take up
this number, so that the control of the
concern should remain in the hands OF
their little coterie. Some years ago,
however, all that was changed; and the
paternal Blanc-Bertora administration
gave place to another Of very differ
ent character, with two Paris bankers
at its head.
Five. thousand shares were, as al
ready stated, given to the Prince OF
Monaco; Prince Radziwill took 1880;
Prince Roland Bonaparte, 1000; M. Ed
mond Blanc, 1900; M. Camille Blanc,
1000; Count Bertora, 1000; the Wag-
