FINANCIAL POTPOURRI. HOW MEN ARE TRIPPED UP IN WALL STREET, ARSE British Nobility and the Bulls and Bears. (Copyright 1888.) Henry Villard is making steady proress towards his financial rehabilitation, He is now spoken of as the next president of thé Oregon Trans-Continental Company, one of the big corporations of the Northwect, and-he may yet _ great a power as formerlyin the Northern Pacific, It does not seem to be ‘generally known, but one of the real causes of his downfall was his undue confidence in “Baron” Woerishoffer, to whom he re+ vealed all his plans, all hig hopes and fears, and the weak Points in the North: ern Pacific Rallroad giant, the Goliath that was to be struck down by a little financial David with an Iscariot strain in his calculating nature, When, in other words, Woerishoffer saw that the North. ern Pacific was top-heavy, with a moun. tainous load of monetary difiiculties, he opened fire upon it ina fierce bear camPaign, selling thousands of shares “‘short”’ with a daring that was only matched by his treachery, and finally the price came down with a crash, and Henry Villard the newspaper correspondent, who h climbed high in the financial world, was & practically ruined man. He ‘selects his friends with more discretion now. They are mostly Berlin bankers, who have . formed what is practically a trust for the buying of railroad securities, His experience demonstrates the folly of trusting a Wall Street. speculator, One of the old time figures of Wall Street, who still linger superfluous on the stage, is now a man somewhat advanced in years and known as California Parker, His experience was. somewhat. similar to that of Mr. Villard. In 1963 he was bulling Erie aud carrying a heavy load of the stock, He was obliged to buy so much to keep the price up that he finally found himself in financial dificulties, He went to Daniel Drew, then one of the giants of Wall Street, and showed his hand; he was carrying so much stock; the price could easily be advanced, but he must havea loan of $2,000,000, “Why that looks first rate,” said Uncle Daniel, as he was called, and his face wore the benignant expression of @ good old deacon welcoming a new convert to the chureh, ‘That looks first rate; seems as though that’ere scheme was a good one. T calculate I ean get you the money, my son, Come around to-morrow.” And Uncle Daniel, who when he was worth millions still looked like an old farmer in “store clothes,” dismissed the young speculator as with a benediction. E.ated hy the prospect of securing the necessary re-enforcements for a prosecution of the fight, the young operator hurried around ; to the Stock Exchange and bought twenty-five or thirty thousand shares more of Erie, The sun wag shining and the skies were blue in the finan¢ial firmanes the erie wg rose-tinted. -tomptlyat 10 0’elc. th ‘ext niorni he waited upon Uncle Miel-and aald: “Well, Mr, Drew, I've come around to «et that loan of $2,000 000.” “Oh,’’ said the financier, after a panse as ifto recall the circumstances, ‘Times is hard, young man; money I find is mighty skeerce, I can’t get that $2,000,000 for you, my son,” The fatherly look had changed for something that suggested the venerable character in ‘Paradise Lost,’ The young man realized in an instant his position, He had showed his hand. The gosling in trouble had gone to the fox, The young man turned from the financial precipice on which he stood, and in his fierce indignation said: “Why you old scoundrel, I’ve a good mind to kick you as I woulda dog. Yoa d—d old rascal, I ought to shoot you in your tracks,” and there was more’ of a somewhat gulpharons odor: that caanot be repeated, and which made the clerks stare with amazement and horror. Uncle Daniel listened to it with the old benign expression as of a presiding elder listening to the delectable discourse of @ younger brother, After the young man had left, Uncle Daniel turned to his confidential clerk, Groesbeck, and said placidly: “Grozy, the young man seems excited.” By that time Daniel Drew had ‘‘plastered the street” with his short sales of Erie, based on the revelation that the young man had foolishly made to him of the big load he was carrying and of his financial difficulties, Uncle Daniel literally stole the young man’s stock by selling it short and driving down the price to ® point where his victim was forced to throw itover. It wasacase of highway robbery in Wall Street. The name of Henry Villard and his very similar experience with Baron Woerishoffer secalled it. The lesson will epply to all kinds of business, Beware how you expose your financial wounds, The other day I noticeda slightly built man somewhat under the medinm height, about 45 years of age and of rather dark complexion, entering the palatial Mills Building in Broad street. He might have been taken for a Prosperous banker or broker, It was the Duke of Maribor, ough. He leda “gay” life for years and js divorced from his wife, but it {is as. serted thathe is now settling down to exemplary living. He is quiet, unassum{ngand courteous in manner and is far more intelligent than the average Englishman who visits this country. He has given not a little study to finance, He says with reason that American rascalities im railroad finance have disgusted British investors and he thinks that-there should be an independent auditorship of railroad reports to keep a check on railroad companies, that as every well-in. formed American knows issue official falsehoods and habittialiy deceive the public, _ The Duke of Marlborough is under a social cloud in England, but New York ig more lenient and he is being handsomely entertained by some of the Wall street bankers, He has far greater abil. ities than his brother, Lord Rando}ph Churchill. ‘ The original Duke of Marlborough, by tic the way, died one hundred and sixty agoand his remains lie in that ma mausoleum to which Addison and Irving have given an added grandeur and impressiveness— Westminster Abbey. of the foremost military res of history, the admiration of renne, the head of. the British army, the hero of ‘Blenheim and many another bloody field, oneofthe bandsomest Englishmen of his time, a marvet of avarice, a Macbiavelliin politics, an meen net courtjer, once virtually regent of Eu land, he » was long remem redas @ le figure the stage of toe polite Atter the battle of Blenbelm the Parilament bestowel upon him the estate of Woodstock and the Queen caused the palace of Blenheim to be built for him, and there the present Duke resides, though the building. has naturally been greatly improved in accordance with modern ideas of somfort. The first Duke a scumulated an immense fortune and the present holder of thetitle is also Wealthy. His palace, known as “Blenheiin Castle,” covers with allits buildings three acres of ground, and he has just introduced nine hundred electric lights to illuminate the.castle and the-park,-——_—ah His name recalls the fact that not a few of the British nobility have latterly visited Wall street. They go there as they would to a menagerie—to see the bulls and bears and occasionally to consult their bankers. They visit the Stock Exchange, the Produce Exchange aid may be seen in the private offices of wellknown bankers and brokers. One of these wasthe Earl of Arran, a widower about 50 years of age, accompanied by his daughter, Lady Esther Gore, a young lady about seventeen years of age. The British Government bestowed upon his family the Arran Isles many years ago in return for financial aid, They consist of a number of small islands off the coast of Galway in Ireland, the area of the group being 11,287 acres with a population of about five thousand chiefly engaged in fishiogandagriculture. The isles abound in antiquities and religious remains, in ancient forts built of uncemented stones on cliffs overhanging the sea, in holy wells, altars and groves long visited by devotees—a fit scene for a novel of the romantic school. f Another nobleman lately seen in Wall street was Lord Grosvenor, the son of the Duke of Westminster, who is worth about one hundred millions of dollars and is considered the wealthiest man in England. The Duke’sfortune consists largely of London real estate. Lord Grosvenor is about forty years of age, slightly built with typical English features, but very quiet and Unassuming in manner—far more so than the sons of some successful western dealers in pork. Another of the British peerage who might have been seen the other day in Henry Clews’ office to which most of the Visiting nobility seem to R@ravitate, was Lord Walter Campbell. He ig rather sparely built, has sharp features, a florid complexion and the typical Scotch ap‘ pearance; he is nervous in manner but is athorough gentleman, He is the son of the Duke of Argyleand related by marrlage to royalty. One of his ancestors died on the scaffold the victim of a treacherous Scottish king, another. was twice condemned to death, escaped from Edinburgh Castle to Holland disguised as & page, returned to co-operate on the illfated revolt of Monmouth, was captured, hastily condemned and beheaded. : OscaR WILLOUGHBY Riqas, METROPOLITAN NOTES. $20,000 for Lester Wallack.—The Fatal Telegraph Wires. . A new. seriousness is affecting New York, I suppose that you know that oa can tell a resident of New York in tes partof the world byacertain crushed look he has, and which is said to be the result of the flat house and the janitor. Every man of moderate means lives in a tower of Babel and iswaiting forthe confusion of tongues, : Bad as that is, the new misery is irdinitely worse. He now understands that he lives and moves and breathes in the presence of instant death. The whole city is cobwebbed over with electric wires, whose touch isannihilation, “Killed where he stood” is the standing Paragraph in the papers, Men and women on thegrowded pavements of Broadway walk inthe sunshine with adim foreboding that it is the valley of the shadow of death. A worse than the sword of Damocles hangs suspended by a thread above every man's head, You can’t imagine the serious cast, this is giving to the population, I fancy Wall street. even while it skips and jumps, keeps «. * eye on the unknown for fvar something will break, Men are touched while they wait, jump into the air and are gone, leaving their sentences uncompleted. It disarranges business, leaves last words unsaid, keeps dinner waiting, wears out theambulances, And all the while thesubway com missioners, who were'to put these wires under ground, sit up there in their office on Broadway, Properly insulated, and calculate how lo. git would take to reduce the Population to a minimum if @ high wind blew these wires all down at once, New Yorkers, asa rule, have got a foolish prejudice ia favorofdyingin their beds, Country people who have tried their beds will never understand or appreciate this prejudice, but there it is. The Wallack Testimonial, as it was called, was an event of unusual theatrical magnitude, but not of largedramat lowigDificance. It drew to the Metropolitan Opera House on that memorable Dightan audience almost equal to that which bas been assembling there on Sundays tohear the Methodist bishops. I mean equal in numbers, notin ‘sad sincerity.” 4 cast of Hamlet, in which Mr. Edwin Booth had associated with him Mme. Modjeska for an Ophelia, Mr. Jo. Jefferson for the First Grave Digger, Mr. Frank Mayo for the King, Mr. Wm. Florence for the Sco. ond Grave Digger, Mr. Jobn Gilbert for the Polonius, Mr. Lawrence Barreit for the Ghost and Rose Coghlan for the Player Queén, with a host of similarly well-known actors, ranging down to the court ladies and gentlemen who stood round, was sure to be an event of great theatrical interest and the consequence was the Metropolitan Opera House proved Unequal to the strain of admissic-n, = 1 *¥ent—ban-erty two Polnts worth considering. ©: e of them is the testimonial side, which places tho handsome sum of.$26,000-in-Lester Wallack’shunds, The other is the prodigious giort that da required Ay y¥ One of espeare’s dramas ven of dramatic excellence” oe SUR G98 Actors will, on rare Occasions, assoc: themselves Sogether for each other, rc is doubtful if they will do it for Shakes ie. to be “instituted” an anparade and inepectionof them, they Id show themselves en after piling ear in comit and ons ines.

FINANCIAL POTPOURRI. HOW MEN ARE TRIPPED UP IN WALL STREET, ARSE British Nobility and the Bulls and Bears. (Copyright 1888.) Henry Villard is making steady proress towards his financial rehabilitation, He is now spoken of as the next president of thé Oregon Trans-Continental Company, one of the big corporations of the Northwect, and-he may yet _ great a power as formerlyin the Northern Pacific, It does not seem to be ‘generally known, but one of the real causes of his downfall was his undue confidence in “Baron” Woerishoffer, to whom he re+ vealed all his plans, all hig hopes and fears, and the weak Points in the North: ern Pacific Rallroad giant, the Goliath that was to be struck down by a little financial David with an Iscariot strain in his calculating nature, When, in other words, Woerishoffer saw that the North. ern Pacific was top-heavy, with a moun. tainous load of monetary difiiculties, he opened fire upon it ina fierce bear camPaign, selling thousands of shares “‘short”’ with a daring that was only matched by his treachery, and finally the price came down with a crash, and Henry Villard the newspaper correspondent, who h climbed high in the financial world, was & practically ruined man. He ‘selects his friends with more discretion now. They are mostly Berlin bankers, who have . formed what is practically a trust for the buying of railroad securities, His experience demonstrates the folly of trusting a Wall Street. speculator, One of the old time figures of Wall Street, who still linger superfluous on the stage, is now a man somewhat advanced in years and known as California Parker, His experience was. somewhat. similar to that of Mr. Villard. In 1963 he was bulling Erie aud carrying a heavy load of the stock, He was obliged to buy so much to keep the price up that he finally found himself in financial dificulties, He went to Daniel Drew, then one of the giants of Wall Street, and showed his hand; he was carrying so much stock; the price could easily be advanced, but he must havea loan of $2,000,000, “Why that looks first rate,” said Uncle Daniel, as he was called, and his face wore the benignant expression of @ good old deacon welcoming a new convert to the chureh, ‘That looks first rate; seems as though that’ere scheme was a good one. T calculate I ean get you the money, my son, Come around to-morrow.” And Uncle Daniel, who when he was worth millions still looked like an old farmer in “store clothes,” dismissed the young speculator as with a benediction. E.ated hy the prospect of securing the necessary re-enforcements for a prosecution of the fight, the young operator hurried around ; to the Stock Exchange and bought twenty-five or thirty thousand shares more of Erie, The sun wag shining and the skies were blue in the finan¢ial firmanes the erie wg rose-tinted. -tomptlyat 10 0’elc. th ‘ext niorni he waited upon Uncle Miel-and aald: “Well, Mr, Drew, I've come around to «et that loan of $2,000 000.” “Oh,’’ said the financier, after a panse as ifto recall the circumstances, ‘Times is hard, young man; money I find is mighty skeerce, I can’t get that $2,000,000 for you, my son,” The fatherly look had changed for something that suggested the venerable character in ‘Paradise Lost,’ The young man realized in an instant his position, He had showed his hand. The gosling in trouble had gone to the fox, The young man turned from the financial precipice on which he stood, and in his fierce indignation said: “Why you old scoundrel, I’ve a good mind to kick you as I woulda dog. Yoa d—d old rascal, I ought to shoot you in your tracks,” and there was more’ of a somewhat gulpharons odor: that caanot be repeated, and which made the clerks stare with amazement and horror. Uncle Daniel listened to it with the old benign expression as of a presiding elder listening to the delectable discourse of @ younger brother, After the young man had left, Uncle Daniel turned to his confidential clerk, Groesbeck, and said placidly: “Grozy, the young man seems excited.” By that time Daniel Drew had ‘‘plastered the street” with his short sales of Erie, based on the revelation that the young man had foolishly made to him of the big load he was carrying and of his financial difficulties, Uncle Daniel literally stole the young man’s stock by selling it short and driving down the price to ® point where his victim was forced to throw itover. It wasacase of highway robbery in Wall Street. The name of Henry Villard and his very similar experience with Baron Woerishoffer secalled it. The lesson will epply to all kinds of business, Beware how you expose your financial wounds, The other day I noticeda slightly built man somewhat under the medinm height, about 45 years of age and of rather dark complexion, entering the palatial Mills Building in Broad street. He might have been taken for a Prosperous banker or broker, It was the Duke of Maribor, ough. He leda “gay” life for years and js divorced from his wife, but it {is as. serted thathe is now settling down to exemplary living. He is quiet, unassum{ngand courteous in manner and is far more intelligent than the average Englishman who visits this country. He has given not a little study to finance, He says with reason that American rascalities im railroad finance have disgusted British investors and he thinks that-there should be an independent auditorship of railroad reports to keep a check on railroad companies, that as every well-in. formed American knows issue official falsehoods and habittialiy deceive the public, _ The Duke of Marlborough is under a social cloud in England, but New York ig more lenient and he is being handsomely entertained by some of the Wall street bankers, He has far greater abil. ities than his brother, Lord Rando}ph Churchill. ‘ The original Duke of Marlborough, by tic the way, died one hundred and sixty agoand his remains lie in that ma mausoleum to which Addison and Irving have given an added grandeur and impressiveness— Westminster Abbey. of the foremost military res of history, the admiration of renne, the head of. the British army, the hero of ‘Blenheim and many another bloody field, oneofthe bandsomest Englishmen of his time, a marvet of avarice, a Macbiavelliin politics, an meen net courtjer, once virtually regent of Eu land, he » was long remem redas @ le figure the stage of toe polite Atter the battle of Blenbelm the Parilament bestowel upon him the estate of Woodstock and the Queen caused the palace of Blenheim to be built for him, and there the present Duke resides, though the building. has naturally been greatly improved in accordance with modern ideas of somfort. The first Duke a scumulated an immense fortune and the present holder of thetitle is also Wealthy. His palace, known as “Blenheiin Castle,” covers with allits buildings three acres of ground, and he has just introduced nine hundred electric lights to illuminate the.castle and the-park,-——_—ah His name recalls the fact that not a few of the British nobility have latterly visited Wall street. They go there as they would to a menagerie—to see the bulls and bears and occasionally to consult their bankers. They visit the Stock Exchange, the Produce Exchange aid may be seen in the private offices of wellknown bankers and brokers. One of these wasthe Earl of Arran, a widower about 50 years of age, accompanied by his daughter, Lady Esther Gore, a young lady about seventeen years of age. The British Government bestowed upon his family the Arran Isles many years ago in return for financial aid, They consist of a number of small islands off the coast of Galway in Ireland, the area of the group being 11,287 acres with a population of about five thousand chiefly engaged in fishiogandagriculture. The isles abound in antiquities and religious remains, in ancient forts built of uncemented stones on cliffs overhanging the sea, in holy wells, altars and groves long visited by devotees—a fit scene for a novel of the romantic school. f Another nobleman lately seen in Wall street was Lord Grosvenor, the son of the Duke of Westminster, who is worth about one hundred millions of dollars and is considered the wealthiest man in England. The Duke’sfortune consists largely of London real estate. Lord Grosvenor is about forty years of age, slightly built with typical English features, but very quiet and Unassuming in manner—far more so than the sons of some successful western dealers in pork. Another of the British peerage who might have been seen the other day in Henry Clews’ office to which most of the Visiting nobility seem to R@ravitate, was Lord Walter Campbell. He ig rather sparely built, has sharp features, a florid

complexion and the typical Scotch ap‘ pearance; he is nervous in manner but is athorough gentleman, He is the son of the Duke of Argyleand related by marrlage to royalty. One of his ancestors died on the scaffold the victim of a treacherous Scottish king, another. was twice condemned to death, escaped from Edinburgh Castle to Holland disguised as & page, returned to co-operate on the illfated revolt of Monmouth, was captured, hastily condemned and beheaded. : OscaR WILLOUGHBY Riqas, METROPOLITAN NOTES. $20,000 for Lester Wallack.—The Fatal Telegraph Wires. . A new. seriousness is affecting New York, I suppose that you know that oa can tell a resident of New York in tes partof the world byacertain crushed look he has, and which is said to be the result of the flat house and the janitor. Every man of moderate means lives in a tower of Babel and iswaiting forthe confusion of tongues, : Bad as that is, the new misery is irdinitely worse. He now understands that he lives and moves and breathes in the presence of instant death. The whole city is cobwebbed over with electric wires, whose touch isannihilation, “Killed where he stood” is the standing Paragraph in the papers, Men and women on thegrowded pavements of Broadway walk inthe sunshine with adim foreboding that it is the valley of the shadow of death. A worse than the sword of Damocles hangs suspended by a thread above every man's head, You can’t imagine the serious cast, this is giving to the population, I fancy Wall street. even while it skips and jumps, keeps «. * eye on the unknown for fvar something will break, Men are touched while they wait, jump into the air and are gone, leaving their sentences uncompleted. It disarranges business, leaves last words unsaid, keeps dinner waiting, wears out theambulances, And all the while thesubway com missioners, who were'to put these wires under ground, sit up there in their office on Broadway, Properly insulated, and calculate how lo. git would take to reduce the Population to a minimum if @ high wind blew these wires all down at once, New Yorkers, asa rule, have got a foolish prejudice ia favorofdyingin their beds, Country people who have tried their beds will never understand or appreciate this prejudice, but there it is. The Wallack Testimonial, as it was called, was an event of unusual theatrical magnitude, but not of largedramat lowigDificance. It drew to the Metropolitan Opera House on that memorable Dightan audience almost equal to that which bas been assembling there on Sundays tohear the Methodist bishops. I mean equal in numbers, notin ‘sad sincerity.” 4 cast of Hamlet, in which Mr. Edwin Booth had associated with him Mme. Modjeska for an Ophelia, Mr. Jo.
