4 PRINCELY BANKRUPT.
TFrom the London MALL


It is now nearly three years since the
failure of E. 7. Hooley, whose estate
has yielded SO far only two shillings in
the pound to his creditors.
In view Of the magnificence with
which this splendid bankrupt continues
meanwhile to enjoy life, Inquiries have
been made by a Daily Mail representa-
tive as to the future prospects the
estate offers.
His inquiries took our representative
to the Office of George Hardy. a mem Der
of the bankruptcy committee appointed
by the creditors to act under the super
vision OF the Board of Trade Cues
toned as to the outlook for creditors,
Mr. Hardy expressed the belief that the
estate would yield another two shil-
lings in the pound IN the course of a
few months, and was exceedingly pes
simistic as to anything beyond that.
Mr.. Hooley bears his credif rs mis-
fortunes bravely. does he not?
In what way 2"
He still lives at the rate of a few
thousands a year"
More than a few thousands" re-
piled Mr.. Hardy. He has. besides his
suite Of rooms at Walsingham house,
his two country seats. Papworth hall
and Risley hall Why. he pays in. wages
to his servants, male and female, and
his gardeners, groonns and the rest more
than $4,000 yearly. His weekly wages
bill apart from those he pays monthly
or quarterly, is between go and 413O.
OF vehicle from a dOgcart to a shooting
coach: he has about a score of garden
ers at Papworth alone; he is constantly
adding to his estate there by buying
up adjoining farms. and recently be
bought $4,000 worth of additional agri-
cultural machinery for his operations
there His wine cellars contain one of
the most extraordinary collections ever
got together, and you may say on my
estimate, as a member Of the co n nit
tee, that this princely bankrupt is not
living at the rate of less than 2l5,O00
yearly
but haven't you and your fellow
committeeman any means of divertfng
some of this income toward the cred
itors?''
None at all. Mr.. Hooley obtains his
income by the financial operations he
conducts from Walsfngham house,
where he sees clients daily. But he
doesn't deal on his own behalf He is
the agent Of his wife. have long con-
tended that we, the committee. should
be able to control the banlzrupt's earn
ings. We ought to be able to secure
for the creditors the remainder of that
income after allowing the bankrupt a
good mafntenance-say $4,000 year"
And do not your powers enable you
to do anything in that direction2 ?"

AN ERA OF GOOD FEELING
Established by New York Business
Men IN London

New York, June 5.-According to dis
patch to the Tribune on the subject Of
the presence of the delegates from the
New York chamber of commerce in Lon
don. some curious calculations have been
published respecting the aggregate of the
wealth of twenty more of these Amer
lean visitors. including Andrew Carnegie
and J. p Morgan. These figures add
weight to their disclaimers that there
can be any critical contest between the
two countries respecting the control of
foreign markets and support the conclu-
sion that as there is room enough in
Asia for England and Russia. 50 also
Angio-Sax energy does not require
two worlds in place Of one. There is al
ready an evidence of a revival of good
feeling in consequence of the visit of
American delegates and their sensible
comments upon industrial rivalries-

CAMERA FOR BIRDS.
Frank n. Chapman Exhibits Device
For Bird Photography.

New York, June AT a lecture on
methods in bird photography Frank NJ.
Chapman, assistant curator Of the birds
and mammals in the American museum
of natural history. exhibited a most in
genious apparatus invented by two of
his associates and himself. An artificial
forked limb is connected with the cam
era in such a way that when a grid
lights on the limb he instantly makes
the exposure by pressure In fact, the
first exposure was made too quickly.
This fault has been remedied by a sys-
tenn of weights, concealed in the limb,
which gives the effect known to foot
ball as delayed pass,t' to photo
graphy. perhaps, as a deferred expos
ure' The only picture yet taken by the
device is that of a blue bird with food
in her mouth momentarily stopping on
her way to her young. To the uninitia-
ted the picture seems wonderfully good,
but DIR. Chapman promises even better

STRIKES THE SOURCE
A Pile Cure That Goes to the Root Of
the Disease.


There are lots OF lotions, oils, and
salves that will. through their soothing
influence, relieve temporarily the pain
incident to piles. But is that all the
sufferer requires? Isn't it horrible
thought to realize that the ease is only
temporary and the disease goes on IN
der the surface without a moments in
terruption2 wouldn't it be wiser to Sc
lect a remedy that seeks the source and
regulates those deep-seated disorders
which induce the disease2 Pyramid Pile
Cure not only relieves the pain at once,
but effects permanent cure of the
worst form of piles. You don't have to
go through a tedious course of dieting
while using it either. It strikes through
those delicate membranes and tissues
and sets the blood ia healthful circ0la--
ton, reducing at once the painful in
ELIMINATION and contested tumors. This
remedy is not a haphazard com binatlon
of drugs but is q remedy invented by
specialists who have treated piles and
blood disorders successfully for years.
Manufactured by the Pyramid Drug Co.
at Marshall. Mich. Almost any first
class druggist has it on sale. Don't
treat this disease with every lotion and
salve that comes along. Remember the
parts affected are among the most deli
cate in the human body. This remedy
is absolutely safe and no one need fear
to apply it freely on the most inflamed
parts. The speed with which it allays
the pain is an agreeable surprise to the
sufferer.
