HOOLEY AND GUINEA PIGS.

In London the technical term for a
per who for a cons deration allows the
Use of his name on the prospectus Of u
company is a guinea ptg," derived
f; om the fact that he receives a fee
OF one guinea every time he attends a
directors meeting The Earl Of DON
oughmore seems to be one OF the cham
pion guinea pigs in the United KING
dem. a whole pigsty In himself.
Four years ago Hooley, who was a
prosperous lacemaker at Nottingham,
cast his eye upon the city of London
and decided to become a promoter and
go into the guinea pig business on a
larger scale than any one had ever at
tempted. He resolved to get bigger and
more blue-blooded guinea pigs than any
stock dea.er who had preceded him.
The general drift of this scheme was
similar to that invented by Mr.. Tweed
in New York, who always tried to seem
to be associated with reputable bust
ress men. 1t made It so much easier
for him to steal. if the attention of his
victim was distracted by the respecta-
bility of his Crweed's) companions.
Hooley, as a lacemaker, was hard
worker. He was at his factory sixteen
hours a day. He smoked not, neither
did he drink during business hours.
and ne went to bed at 10 O'Clock so as
TO be able to get up, as he expressed 1t,
lust in front of everybody else" He
had an income of about $4,000 year
from his factory, but 1t was not large
enough.
He speculated in the Nottingham
stock market for a While and made a
profit of $100 600. With this money in
his pocket and millions Of pounds
worth of unaduserated nerve. he went
to London and inquired his way to the
financial center.

height of his career, he said to a Lon
don newspaper man: sI am a country
man. / hate town life, and I hate
town sharps, with their tricks and
wiles. / stay in London as little as
can, and get out of it as soon as /
am able.
"One of the reasons of my success IL
that ! have no secrets. II I had I
should want 200 clerks to keep my
pooks. have never yet been able to
keep a secret, and never shall be-
A short time ago Hooley set out on
political career. He believed he would
yet be one of the cabinet ministers of
England. He started in to run fer par
lament. Three secretaries Yere%in at
tendance on him fourteen hours day.
Mr.. Hooley was formally sdjudgsd a
bankrupt just sixty days after he had
offered to float an $S5, 900, 600 loan for
the Spanish government andza S75. O0O,
600 loan for China His assets were
shown to be ST. las, Si5 and his liabilities
$T.745, S55
There is no doubt that had thetwheel
of fortune given one more kick in his
favor and either of these projects had
gone through the crash wonldS have
been STAYED off for time. But 1t was
bound to come sooner or later Such
reckless extravaganza, such careless
ness in keeping accounts could have
but one result. Deserted by his accom-
plices, who, like rats, fastened to leave
a sinking ship and ''unloaded" their
shares on him: attacked on all sides
by his friends; harassed by a never
ending succession of lawsuits for the
recovery of huge sums of money, Hoo
ley saw that the game was up, AMI
with dramatic effect filed his own pet;-
ton in bankruptcy. and announced that
he would expose the iniquities of those
who had ruined him. He has indeed
done so. He has spared neither cum
hing rogue nor simple fool and has
raked up even dead mems names to
drag them through the mire. But al
though Hooley poses as injured inno-
cence it is impossible to extend much
sympathy to him. If he was black
mailed, he allowed himself to be so:
nay, even courted it: and the Line be-
tween the blackmailing of Hooley and
the bribery by Hooley is hard to draw.
Had his finance been sound and his
vulgar manners and offensive ways less
pronounced, Hooley would still have
been under this disadvantage. He was
too frank for Great Britain. He would
openly offer to buy people he lad never
before met, and do it in the presence of
others. When he wished to run for
re.rlia ment he practically offered Sir
Waiter Foster, who held the seat fer
Iikston that he wished, $4,000 to WITH
draw in his favor.

stock II they could have got it. The
stock went sky high. More noblemen
clamored to go into partnership with
him. King Hooley reigned in Capel
court as Napoleon Ives once did in
Wall street
1t must not be supposed that the
noblemen who surrounded him would
have anything 10 do with him for
which they We're not paid. Every no.
bleman who met Hooley was out for
the dough-" They charged so much
for taking him to their clubs, so much
for introducing him to lord, so much
more for presenting him to a duke,
and so on
1t was even said that he would give
peer f5 note to take drink with
him. Lord Deerhurst, who married
Miss Bonynge, of San Francisco, re1
ceived $4,000 for introducing him to
Lord Ashburton, Hooley says. The
noblemen he put in the Dunlop Tire
company cost him altogether between
$500. 600 and 100000. He paid the news
papers $125.000 bride money Lloyd's
bank, he said, when it got him in a
corner and had him at its mercy.
charged him 2,000 per cent interest All
the guinea pigs and all the other pigs
were fighting and scrambling to get
their noses in the Hooley fodder
trough.
The capitalization of the Hooley en-
terprises during the thirty-six months
when he was guinea pig drover was
S65, 100000 The present market value
Of the securities is about 40 per cent
of that.
Among the principal guinea pigs pur-
chased were the following, with the
prices paid: The Earl of De La War;.

the Earl of Albemarle, So, 500: the Earl
of Warwick. $4,000; the Earl of Nor

from him as a contribution to the Tory
political funds. Sir. Joseph Renals,,
formerly lord mayor of London, re-
ceived $4,000 as tip for Joining the
board of directors OF the British EN-
ceived S175,00O as commission in a real
estate DEAL
A feature Of the exposures was that
several of the persons implicated tried
to bride Hooley to retract the state
ments he made affecting them
Earl De La War;. he asserted, offered
him $1,000 to lie out of what he had
said; and there was sensational story
about a cab containing $4,000 in gold
waiting outside Hooley's house while
an attempt was being made to induce
him to retract some Of the statements
he had made on the witness stand.
When Sir William Marriott denied
on the stand that he had been bribed
by Hooley the latter jumped up in
court in a rage and offered to throw
an ink stand at his head by way of
substantiating his original charge. An
other witness Hooley whacked with
stick as a guarantee of good faith.
