A CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK.
The Prince Of Wales Pluoked by a
French Gamestress.

London, March 16.-Reynolds news
paper today prints a story to the effec,
that the prince of Wales is practically
without any funds, having exhausted
every resource that he had and that
the king will shortly ask parliament
TO appropriate 10000 pounds annually
20 enable the heir apparent to dis
charge the duties of his exalted posi-
tion."
The paper also aserts that this con.
dition of affairs has been brought about
by the fact that the prince is a great
gamester and has been a frequent Wis.
itor at the house OF a French marquis
whose wife is extremely fascinating
and most beautiful and with whom the
prince is sail to be fascinated
The king. the paper continues. was
also a visitor at the same house and
cards was the invariable amusement
furnished, at which both the king and
prince lost heavily. and on one oc.
casion, the newspaper says. the prince
lost 1000 pounds al sitting.
Three times I'm one week the prince
Iiined there and lost heavily on each
occasion, and always TO the same per
sons. as the same company was pres
ent each time.
Finally the prince discovered that
there was cheating going on and he
loudly denounced the pretty marquise
and another woman as swIndlers,
which charge. of course, they indig-
nantly denied. The prince then threat
ened to drive them out OF decent So
ciety in London. to which they calmly
replied they dehed him to try 1t, and
that he was welcome to go ahead and
do his worst
