i can prove 1t as easy as rolling off a

we had a white cat in our family-rais-
ed it myself-and 1t heard so we'll We

There was a long silence, then some
one pipad feebly:-
%Why?"
Because she thought every tick was
a mouse in the wall, and she tore all the

without the slightest regard to price.
The first trade in it was September 2,
and the eageTness of the public to put
its money into the scheme about which
it knew absolutely nothing drove the
price of each share of stock from one
pound TO four and flve-eighths pounds.
The original capital of the company
was placed at 1,250,000 pounds, but the
first day that the public had at it fore
ed the value to 5,7S0,000 pounds.
When the name Barnato will ac-
complish so much when associated
with which nothing is known, there is
: little wonder that the owner OF the
name is worth 100000, 000-in paper or
cash. The action in regard to che Bar
natO Bank is merely the latest act in
what the English papers have at times
called the "Kaffir Circus" The whole
thing began in October, 1891, when
speculation turned in the direction Of
South African mines. For some years
! tefore that the public had been given
little chance to speculate, For good Sc
curities had risen so high there was no
use in buying them In the hope of an
other raise America ana Australia
were in bad shape, and the spectators
finally turned to South Africa. There
was enough real work and profit in The
mines to warrant it at frs, and some
Of the big financial houses Of Paris soon
/ became interested. Then company af-
! ter company was formed and foated
Financial houses bought the shares in
many instances and then, when the
| boom began, split up their holdings
and sold certificates of ownership, even
as low as one-tenth of q share, 10 the
small purchasers. England first took
the fever, then il was caught by france
and afterward by Belgium and Ger
many. Since then it has been almost
universally upward Some Of the stocks
in which the deals have been heaviest
are sound financially, but remarka-
bic feature is that the greatest advan-
ces in the value of stock are found in
those companies which pay no divi-
dends.
II was the promoting o. these corn
| panies that the Barnatoes first ap-
| peared. Now the Brothers are interest,"
| ed in an almost endless list of concerns.
One OF their latest Is a scheme for the
lf4 AAlIllL4A VI u lsoAo NJ mon 81 . w AttiNH
contracts and claims, said by the pro-
motors to be OF great value, but o.
which the public knows absolutely
/ nothing. The first of these trusts APP
! peared under the title OF the johann
nesberg Consolidated and Investment
Company. 1t had a capital Of 100000
| pounds. and in its first six months OPP
erations is said to have made o profit Of
/ IS. 100000. How this was done no one
| knows as yet. On the statement alone
the value of the stock was run up TO
! $21. 900 000-seven times its fac/value.
| The Barnato Consolidated Mines is an
other conGern Of which The public
| knows even less and yet the value OF
! the stock has been run up 500 per cent.
Such is the strange craze that has
seized the English investing public
q craze which surpasses even that OF
the Mississippi Company. John Law
was the head of one and he died in dis
grace and poverty. Barney Barna-
to is the head Of The present one. What
will be his fate?

no silver standard country uses any

NO TREASURE DISCOVERED
Search Abandoned Through Fear of
Being Murdered
The Adventures Were Pricked by Cactus
and Buffeted by Waves, but They
Got Back Alive

SANTA CRUZ, Dec. 14,-Dr. S. B. Gordon
has returned to Gonzales from an unsuc-
cessful search for treasure on Galapagos
island, near the equator. After an inter-
esting experience with one Jennings, who
was supposed to be able to lay his hands
on the treasure, Gordon left the other
members of the expedition at Panama.
On reaching Guayaquil they had trouble in
securing passage for the island. finally
managing to board sloop manned by ma
tives with which they reached the islands
on one of which is located penal insti-
tuition. A native agreed to guide Jennings
and Gordon to the island on which the
treasure was supposed to be buried. After
ten days the island was sighted. With q
small boat they left the sloop for the
island, but before they could reach it, the
boat capsized, occupants barely escaping
with their lives. Finally landing was
made and then search for the doubloons
was begun. The island was covered with
cactus, contrary to the description given to
Jennings. With difficulty the location was
discovered but the treasure hunters we're
menaced by natives who watched their
movements with SO much suspicion that
the search was abandoned for fear the
finding of the doubloons might result in
their being murdered. After spending
three days on the island without accom-
plishing the purpose of the expedition,
they started on the return voyage. They
were three weeks on the trip to Guayaquil,
passing three Shipwrecked crews. They
rescued some of the shipwrecked men
who had been in a rowboat for seven days
without food or water, one of the men dy-
ing before reaching land.

gate for the holidays and will move into
their new home before the second week in
January, when Mrs. Curzon expects to
make her husband proud father.
The Infanta Eula lie has been spending q
week in London, being a guest of Pier
brights, late De Worts, on Grosvenor
square. She has been enjoying herself APP
parently and has been to one of the thea
ters every night. The Spanish ambassa-
dor, Senior del Mako, gave luncheon in
her honor on Wednesday last, at which
the Prince of Wales was present, but
with this exception the infanta has mol
met any of the royal family during this
visit to England. On Thursday the infanta
went to Brighton, where she is the guest
of Walter Winans, and she will remain
there over Sunday. James r. Roosevelt.
secretary of the United States embassy,
will join Mr.. Winans' party today.
The hostile criticism which Clement
Scott, the we'll known dramatic critic, has
continually bestowed upon the perform
ance of "Trilby" at the Haymarket, has
recently assumed magnitude that is
classed as surprising. He alone, of all the
London critics, il is claimed, has found
fault with the play and its clever interpre-
tation.
What makes the matter more interesting
is the fact that Clement Scott is relative
of Du Maurier by marriage, and it is inti-
mated in many circles that family feud
may have something to do with the affair.
