Mn. HOoLEY's suMrTUous LIFE.
The English BanISruDt's Establish
ments SIN Kept Up in Fine style.

From the London Daily Mail
Ernest Terah Hooley the most famous
bankrupt of modern times. fares sumptu-
ously every day of his life When he hl-
ed his petition he had four addresses- Ris-
ley Hal. Derbyshire; Papworth Hall. Cam
bridgeshire; house in Hin street. B5rke-
ley square, which he rented. furnished 10y
the month. from Lady Hindlip. and a
sumpluous suite OF rooms at the Midland
Grand Hotel st. Plncras
Now he has only three
re harqly ever used Lady Hmdlip's
mouse, ana ne has given 1t up. The spien-
ga apartments at the Midland Grand have
been abandoned for a scarcely less limos
ing set OF offices at Walsingham House
And that, practically is an the mate
tlal difference that bankruptcy has made
to Mr.. Hooiey. Papworth and Risley are
sun his-or his famtly's, which is TO all
lhSshts and purposes the same thing.

How is 1t done? Est modus in rehus, said
the poet philosopher; there are ways Of
doing things
The modest f2O a week which the credit
ors trustee undertook to allow Mr. Hooley
as maintenance money is certainly not
suiilcient, even If il is still regularly paid.
Ofhcially, Mr. Hooley, ike the unfortu-
nate gentlemen IN the novels. IS "a beg
gar" practically he Is nothing of the sort
put a very well-to-do country gentleman.
And Notwithstanding his fondness for
country life, he is unable altogether to re-
slst the attractions Of town, and at Wal
sinsham House he is quite a busy man.
His friends have rallied around him
One gentleman who, by a modest In
vestment Of 100000, reaped a profit of
100000, has behaved very generously since
Mr.. Hooley's petition was filed, and his
noble example has not been lost upon
others.
But MIR, Hooley is not altogether de-
pendent upon such good offices.
lie apparently has studied the words of
the poet philosopher, and has discovered
that there are WAYS OF doing things To
say nothing of 'the process Of the sums"
