His hoyhood ambition had been for the
law, but this took time and money. SO
he took to teaching again. and while
teaching BEGAN the study of law at night
and on Sundays and holidays.
After several years Of this day and
night work he qualified for admission TO
the bar and in 1870 became law clerk in
Syracuse. From that time his pathway
was q little less hard. and finally he be-
came counsel for big commercial and
financial concerns. and thus steeped him
self in the law of business and commerce.
In 1891 President Harrison appointed him
to the Interstate commerce commission.

would not. however, be correct TO imag CINE
that Monaco has thus swept away the
last despotism in Europe simply because
the population was too we'll off to let well
alone. or because the crOupierS wanted
something to amuSe them during the idle
summer months. There had been some

BY the terms of the las. conces sion
granted to the casino, about 81. 10000
was handed over annually by it to Prince
Albert. WHO also drew about SSW.tID a
year from the local post Office and stamp
duties. OF this total of $32R.'DJ the
prince was supposed to retain IS .U000 as
his civil list. while the remainder repre-
scented the revenues OF the state. and
were to provide Tor its maintenance. Now
tire people assert that the prince has
allowed these sums and their true desri-
nation to become confused. ami has
amassed a fortune of S1G.tsto.o :H, most Of
which, he has. with proper caution, in
vested in France.
As an example of how things have been
done, OF undone, they point to the cat!lc-
oral. fer which Il million and quarter
dollars was set aside. Instead Of being
built in a year it took about twelve, and
they assert that Prince Albert added
the million and a quarter to his own
banking account and built the cathedral
out of the interest. Which, if true, was
NEST economical Of him.
The people do not held the prince solely
responsible. The good man is genuine
scientist ard much more attached to his
deep-Sea fishing than to squeezing
Monaco. and the natives would much
rather have him and his son than the
German cousin whom he propc sed some
time ago to make heir to the principality.
Rather they blame his French council
