Monte Carla’s gambling hell must. go. That is the cry of the moment. It was the cry fifteen years ago when a great international petition was drawn up and presented to France. tut then there 'was no result, writes a London corres- ponden t. Monte Carlo, since its establishment on ’All Fools’ Day, 44 years ago, has been the forcing bed of crime. Swindlers, fthieves, murderers, demiâ€"mondaines from all the cutthroat haunts of the universe gather there and wax fat on the spoils of their trade. Men and we- nncn, respectable in the past, have there ibeen ruined morally and socially, for in ythr- mad lust for gold they stop at no- "thing. There are innumerable books written ,‘vabout Monte Carlo. From none of them "VT-is omitted the terrible tale. of blood. In if an \~ \. " , tier. “girlâ€"bride . mediately for more. ilwc of these books, written only a short Etime ago, are records of suicides and murders. One of these is called Histor- ies des Crimes et Suicides, a nice title certainly. And in that book is an apatiâ€" ing list of 3,000 known suicides and (murders committed in Monte Carlo in the space of fifteen years. The known suicides average fully 200 a year, and =some weeks there have been as many as ‘vtln'ee a day. The Casino authorities do everything ‘lo hush up scandals and news of trage- -dies. A large force of plain-clothes men mic engaged either to prevent suicides or to hurry the body of the dead unfortu- ‘;nat.e out of the way. It is estimated phat more than one-half of the. tragedies Monte Carlo are never heard of ex- ‘cept by the Casino staff. The corpse is rushed quietly to the .morgueâ€" _A SECRET noncua. Here it is kept some time to see whe- ther relatives or friends are going to Iinterfere or kick up a row. Every once ; in a while a steamer slips out of the bar- gbor at dead of night. its cargo is seâ€" icur‘ed at the secret morgue. At. sea the bodies are thrown overboard duly weighted without toll of hell or mutter- - ed prayer. There are countless graves of un- lkrown dead in the Monte Carlo ceme- "l-C’l‘y. But these are only those whose fdeath has become known to the public. The Casino authorities have a special ibureau whose duty it is to relieve per- .',sons ruined at the tables. The ruined gambler can get from this bureau enough money to take him to his home 40-: to some spot far away from Monaco. EFew know of this perhaps, or there jwculd not be so many deaths. fk'f‘he dead-broke gambler is taken fii‘ough many inner chambers and be- fore stern-faced men to whom he. has to itcll his history in detail. lie is also con- fronted with the different croupiers who testify as to whether he really lost as 'ttm:ch as he may claim. -’l‘hen the pvretel‘ied man has to sign a document E‘bamshii'ig himself forever from Monaco. Ellis name and particulars are written in the black book, his photograph is taken Joni-Id given to the (lOOl‘kDDpel's and other \Olliclals to study and then the man is taken to the railway station, a ticket bought, a few dollars given to him and ran otlicial escorts him as far as the from Should he return it would not :avail him. The DOIlCC would turn him 3 back again into France. There is the case of an important In- lian army officer who went. broke. The authorities gave him first-class passage 3.0 Calcutta and expense money. lie I-IAD LOST SEVERAL THOUSANDS. As much as $2,500 has been paid out to a big loser so that he'could settle up ins hotel bill and take himself and fam- i‘v home. Should such money be paid back the Casino might again welcome the man. The sums usually paid range from to $200 and an average of 1,000 people a yea ' apply for this relief. ' Among the tragedies of Monte Carlo many have been of interest in America. There have been a score or more Ameri- cans who have committed suicide. in the. case the other day of the American both she and her husband, enticed on their honeymoon to the para- dise of the Riviera, could not resist the temptation to play a dollar or two at. the tables. They wonâ€"and lusted im- And then, as usual they began losing. Day after day. night after night, instead of billing and coo- ing, they wasted the sunny hours over the gambling tables, feverishly trying to win back what they had lost.

Their jewellery, the bride’s trousseau and bits of finery, had all been pawned or sold, and the money swept into the vora- cious maw of the Casino. Their hotel bill at Castellemere was large. The glimpse of the black future was too much for their youthful experience, and so they decided that death alone could solve their problem. One of the most pitiful .of the thou- sands of cases was that of another bridal coupleâ€"Germans. For the honeymoon they also went to the Riviera. The bride- groom made it partly a business trip, for he was authorized to visit various continental cities and COLLECT BILLS FOR HIS FIRM. He was on his way home when Monte Carlo was reached, the man had $40,000 in his possessionâ€"the collections. hear- ing that he might be tempted to play some of it he handed the whole sum as well as his own money to his wife, and visited the Casino alone with but a five dollar bill. This he quickly lost, but he spent the remainder of the afternoon and evening enjoying the beauties of the Casino and attending the concert and line theatre. When he returned to his hotel that night. he found his wife gone. She had left soon after he did. The man at once informed the Nice police. They in turn told the Monte Carlo authorities and the bride was traced. She had gone to the gambling-rooms and tried her luck. It had been bad and she was soon plunging large sums in order to Regain bei losses. In a few hours the entire sum entrusted to her by her husband was lost. The bride walked out of the place closely followed by the antiâ€"suicide guardians. But before they could reach her, she had jumped over the ter ace to deth 200 feet below. Another bridal couple from France arrived in the middle of the most frag- 'ant season. The groom went to the tables'ai'id was soon gambling mad. He lost every cent he could beg, borrow or steal from his bride. One day he was missing. The police found his body for her. The bride of a month was a widow and penniless. She was an orphan and her husband had received her dot in cash. In a week’s time that poor widow was forced to make her living as a demi- mondaine on the very spot where she began her woman’s life so happily. It is not alone the heavy list of ruined gamblers seeking the solace of death, for which Monte Carlo is responsible. It. is responsible for more deaths and for more misery than any other single in- stitution of its kind in the world. YET ITS GREATEST CURSE is the ruination of thousands of homes and families far away from its gilded balls. The undeserved wretchedncss, the untold anguish, the fearful privation of women and children, living in other lands who belong to the man who is ruined, can never be estin'ialed. The profits of the Casino are immense. Last year they were $7,500,000, an in- crease of $760,000 over the previous year. Seventy per cent. of this was paid to the shareholders. And st 'ange to say, one of these is the Pope, for on the for- malion of the company, years ago. Leo XIII. was one of the first and largest of th». outside sluireholders. The majority of the shares are held by the Rlanc fam- ily the leading member of which is the Princess Marie Bonaparte, whose father was l7’rinc-e_Rolai’1d Bonaparte, and mo- ther, the daughter of M. Blame. the foun- dei of Monte Carlo. She is the wealth- iest princess in the world and is about tr. be married to a royal prince, who needs money, whether it be drenched with the blood of suicides and murderers or sopping with the tears of tens of tllOli.,ff‘(lS of heart-broken women and children. The Prince of Monaco has not a single share. But he derives his entire income from the sum paid him by the gan'iblcrs’ coinpany for the lease of Monaco.‘ The prince in return for the gambling con- cession has been getting an annual in- come of $250,000 and all the expenses of running the State of Monaco includ- ing the maintenance of the army and royal palace. lle recently granted a furâ€" ther contract. to the Monaco Sea-Bathing (kumpany. This concession now extends till 1047 and the annual income of the prince has been raised $l00,000. Every ten years it will be raised an additional $50000. In six years’ time the Casino \Vill also have to pay him A LUMP SUM OF $3,000,000. As many people point. out in the press, it will be very hard indeed to stop the gambling in virtue of the. above con- cession and contract. It is stated on be- half of the Prince of Monaco. that be is by no means in favor of the Casino, that he abhors the gambling and the conse- quent scandal in his State and that could be do so, he would at once stop it. But in the old original contract it was agreed that. the concession should be extended to fill-7 and the prince is not rich enough to break the. contact. and pay the indemnity which the law would quickly assess. All the high-class papers of Britain are dunanding the suppression of Monte Carlo. The Times. the Pall Mail, the Express. the Leader, the News are but a few of the big London dailies. la the Times is the request that President ll’osevelt lake the initiative.

Condemned by Court Martth of Chil- dren in Russia. Any surface appearances of a pos- sible renaissance in Russia are swept out of mind by the appalling evidence of demoralization in the social life of the masses. The distracted peasants larc- wreaking vengeance on the revo- lutionaries and the. ofllcials alike. In the lower Volga district of lylak-arieff, where grain stack-s have been set on fire, the peasants got a firm idea, which the pries’s and police encouraged, that the incendendiarism was the work if revolutionaries. While one fire was raging they seiz- ed three young men who were suspect- ml of being “politicians,” bound them and threw them into the flames. One of the young men managed to extricate him-self four times, but each time be (“has thrown back, and was finally strangled and his body burned to ashes. A man named Lossoff confessed that he was a terrorist, and that the organiz- iation paid twenty-five roubles for every successful fire, the object being to lay waste the entire district. A shocking illustration of the moral anarchy prevailing occurred in the yrazing lands of Rich province. A numâ€" ber of children employed by shepherds accused one of their own numbicr, a they of ten, of theft, and tried him by court-martial. lie. was found guilty and sentenced to be hanged, and the joys carried out. the sentence. The eldest boy was only twelve years cf age. '_'_ ks“ SENTENCE SERMONS. Hidden sins are hard to heal. Cursing yesterday does not correct te-day. ' The selfish sighted.
