While the launch Northland was
at Katalla to bring Commissioner
Grey and the records of his office
to Cordova, a halibut schooner put
in there to buy supplies but was un
able to secure any on account of the
market being practically depleted.
No boat has called at Katalla for
more than six weeks and the stores
are almost cleaned of goods. Prov
isions are said to be scarcer now
than at any time since the residents
there had to catch a i-orcupine be

A Gambler
Prince
I By DONALD CHAMBERL1N
This i* a true story.
"Francois Blanc," said the Judge,
"what have you to say why sentence
should not be passed upon yon?"
•'Nothing,''
I "I regret that the inadequacy of the
' law compels me to let you off with a
| nominal punishment. You corrupted
! the young men In tie telegraph office
! to puoltsk false news from the Stock
j Sxcharse In Paris to enable yon to
! make money by buying or selling
' saar-*. an ofTece which sUould give
I you not lass than ten years in prison.
: I sentence you to serve seven montho
in ji>ll. being the longest term 1 can
give you for your crime."
Francois Diane bowed his bead and
waj inarched away. When his term
of service Had passed ho came out of
• jail witb $20,000 to his credit in bank.
[light under the nose of the Judge
' ] who had convicted him he established
] a casino In Homburg, which was really
| a gambling house. He made money,
j but a prejudice against gambling was
; I growing in Germany, and ho feared
j the time would come when laws would
i be panned that would ruin his business.
M. Blanc looked up rather than
', down. He aspired to rub his gam
bling business in a country where he
could so Influence the laws that noue
would be made to interfere with bis
method of enriching himself. So he
looked about him. In Europe there are
a number of small kingdoms, princi
palities, dukedoms, that hava been in
dependent so. long that none of the
great powers have the hardihood to
absorb thexn. Blajic.fonaA a. little priii
cipallty containing a rew square owes
only that seemed ripe for what he In
tended. What the powers dare not ab
sorb by the bayonet he resolved to ab
sorb by undermining with gold.
The ruler of this principality had
descended from one of the oldest royal
families la Europe, but he bud nothing
but his pedigree. He held a court, it
Is true, but his courtiers were those
who served without salaries and were
able occasionally to lend the sovereign
money. In order to recoup ho sold a
concession In his principality to two
men, who bought it with the Intention
of ppeplng a gambling house on the
territory conceded. They builc a ca
sino and began operations, but the
prince wanted all their profits, and
they became discouraged.
Francois Blanc, learning of this con
cession and the condition of its own
ers, bought It from them and, closing
out his casino at Horn burg, built a
costly one on the new site, laid out
splendid gardens—In short expended
several millions with a view to making
his place attractive. Fortunately for
him the time was ripe for such an In
vestment For many years Baden
Baden. In Germany, had been the
fashionable gambling center of Eu
rope. where every one. from royalty to
commoner, gave way to the passion of
gaming. Baden Baden was now no
longer such a resort, and Blanc aimed
to make his concession what Baden
Baden had been.
In this be succeeded. The gambling
mania of Europe was all made to pour
gold Into Francois Blanc's pocket
Kings and qneens,. princes and prin
cesses. dukes and duchesses, came and
made It fashionable, to be followed by
every one who had a franc to spend
and a fmnc to rink. The sovereign
had all the money he wanted to spend,
and hla court, if not numerons, were
at least well dressed and were not
called upon to lend the prince money.
But while be held the empty title of
ruler of the principality Francois
Blanc was the real governor.
The prince died and left his inherit
ance to his son. The uew sovereign
proved himself really nothing more
than a silent Junior partner In a gam
bling establishment and there was
nothing for him to do but remain as
he was, so he renewed the concession
for a term of flfty years for $5,000,000.
a sum that Francois Blanc cofild well
aCTcrd to pay since he made It in a
single year. He could afTord to do
more than this. He furnished all the
money necessary to run the govern
ment, including official salaries.
One storm arose on the gambler sov
ereign's path, but he weathered it
The prince's neighbors, not relishing a
gambling principality so near them,
endeavored to Induce one of the pow
ers on which It bordered to take steps
to prohibit It In ndditlon, the prince's
subjects became dissatisfied at paying
taxes to a prince who had such an
enormous revenue. At Blanc's request
the sovereign abolished all taxes, and
Blanc paid them.
This was the last bite in the loaf the
gambler devoured. The prince, the
principality and lastly the subjects
passed into his capacious maw. for
when a citizen sells bis citizenship the
buyer becomes its owner.
Francois Blanc accumulated a for
tune equal to some of the largest In
America, and. if he was only a prince'
In a financial way. he married his
daughters to princes.
The principality that forms the sub
ject of this narrative lies on the
north shore of the Mediterranean and
is called Monaco It is divided Into
three parts, one of which is Monte
Carlo. It is on this portion that all
Europe, persons from all parts of the
world, assemble to "buck the tiger."
If the present Prince of Monaco de
rives an income from a concession to
a gambler he is personally far above
the gambling business. He Is a scien
tist and has made some valnable con
tributions to scientific lore.
Fairbanks, Jan. 17—So many
serious offenses have been tried
a' the present term of court and
so many heavy sentences handed
out, that Marshal Erwiu, with sev
eral guards, will leave on Monday
over the government trail with elev
en prisoners, coming by the way of
Chitina aud Cordova. This is the
largest batch of prisoners ever
brought from the interior at one
time. It wouuld appear that crime
is on the increase in the Tanana.
