Barney Barnato was in many respects the
most remarkable Spectator of the century.
OF all the Englishmen who have taken pa TT
in the development Of South Africa two
only have secured worldwide reputa-
ton. These have been Cecil Rhodes and
Barnett Isaacs, more often and less re-
specially styled Barney" Barnato was
an assumed name. a sort Of stage name, for
he began his life in South Africa by .ex-
hibittng a trick donkey some Is years ago.
He was then about 20 years Of age. Bar
nato was an English Jew and illustrated
IN an extraordinary way the financial
| genius Of his race. Up to the point where
his fortunes began to decline he made
money by leaps and bounds, and in 1895,
| when his good fortune was at its zenith
| it was estimated that he controlled inter-
| ests worth In the neighborhood Of E1OO.-
| 100000. 1t was the fashion to call him the
| richest man in the world.
| At that time he was virtually the king OF
the London money market. In the autumn
! Of 1896. when the boom in Kaff1rs. the
| shares of the comparatively new gold
! mines OF the Transvaal. South Africa, was
! at its height, every man, woman and child
IN London with money to invest invested
1t in "kaffirs." The craze was the last
| of those financial fevers which periodically
| attack conservative England. the South
| sea bubble" being the first. For months
| it was the controlling passion in London,
ana It was scarcely less rampant in Paris
and Berlin. The shares went to unhea I'd
Of figures and fortunes were made in q
| day. The center Of this tremendous finan-
cial outburst was Barney Barnato, and he
was conservatively estimated at that time
as worth between E100. 000, 900 and ESQ O0O.-
600. Among his assets was bank original
ly capitalized at 81, SOC, 900. In few months
its capital stock rose in value to $45, OOO, OO0
About month ago it was rumored that
his health was suffering from the severe
tension of speculation, and in the latter
! part Of May it was reported from Cape-
town that he was suffering from nervous
prostratton and had been placed byIhis
friends under restraint. This was subse-
Quently denied by his London representa-
tive. who said that Barnato was suffering
from slight attack Of cape fever. not like
ly to prove serious.
