What wag apparently a ilossal for-

He dealt in millions,. One katupen-

• the Pablic were dazzled at eis ap-
•parent success, and his name became
a synonym for financial sagacity and
daring, Peers and baronets and titled
ladies crowded his reception rooms to
ask for "inside" information as to his
Companies.
Hooley was the son of a lace mann-
. eacturer in Nottinghamshire, -who from
the position of a working "twist hand"
built up a small but profitable lace -
snaking business at Long Eaton, near
Nottingham. It was in turning his
father's business into a limited com-
pany that the corning iluancier tasted
• blood. This opened his eyes to the
• possibilities for buying coacerns cheap
and then persuading the public to buy
them at a profit. He went to London
and took up his quarters at the Mid-
land Grant Hotel, -where he had a
. suite of eight rooms. His big schemes
began with bicycles.
Altogether, his fifteen companies,
floated between 1894 and 1896, were
capitalised at $50,165,000.
Besides bicycles, Hooley had many
other large schemes on hand. Accord-
ing to the Official Receiver's state-
ment, Hooley promoted twenty-six
companies having a total nominal
capital of $93,050,000.
His "consideration" for the same -
that is the price at which they were
sold to the companies -was $70,662,210.
The purchase money paid by him for
, these properties was $45,517,670.
This showed an apparent gross pro-
fit of over, twenty-five million dollars,
but this by no means represents the
actual profit which he made.
The bankruptcy proceedings in 1898
made a great sensation. The estate
-w
was finally ound up In 1903, and un-
secured creditors received a dividend
of about 20 cents on the dollar.
WON FREAK WAGER
Two London Clubmen Walked Long
Distance In I ump.s
As the outcome of a sporting bet
two members well-known in London
clubland walked 52 miles from Picca-
dilly to Brighton, one in evening dress
and both in thin socks and dancing
pumps.
The bet was made it the Isthmian
Olubs, and, it is said, ran well into
four figures. One of the gentlemen
was Mr. Erie Maturin.
When the journey was started at
midnight, Mr, Maturin wore white
"ehorts," a flannel shire and the neees-
sexy thin socks and dancing pumps,
and the other gentleman wore even-
ing dress. They were attended by
two friends in a motot-car,
The night was cold, but the com-
petitors, neither of whom was in any
sense of the word a "walkliagenan,"

London's Oldest Man
Da,vid Jackson, an inmate of the
Tooting Home, Tooting, Londom cele-
brated his 104th birthday by dining
with sixteen friends all over seventy.
The old man has had an interesting
careen and he is justly proud of the
fact that he is nearly, if not quite,
the oldest inhabitant of London.
Born near Lynn in 1808, Jackson
began work at eight years of age,
following the occupation of a scare-
crow. J. little later, he was appren.
ticed to the merchant zervice. The
item at sea stilted elm and, when out
of hie timme, he obtained a captain's
certificate. Pertune minted on him,
and in time, he Rayed sufiletent money
to purchase his own vessel. But the
ship was lost, and David found him-
self practically destitute. -
He went to London in 1860, and for
23 years he was engaged by a firm
of window -blind manufacturers. He
continued to do odd jobs till within
two days of his 99th birthday, when
he was induced to enter ehe Wands.
worth Workhouse. Thence he was
transferred to the Tooting Home.
Jackson can remember the peace be -
Ing proclaimed after Waterloo.

FIRE IN' MONTREAL.
Downtown Building Is Destroyed With
Loss •of el150,000.
MONTREAL, March 31. -Three
alarms were turned in between 10.30
11 o'cloak Saturday night for a blaze'
in the downtown business section of
the city that did damage roughly esti-
mated at $150,000 and burned out six
The buildingdestroyed is that ad-
joining the Bank of '-ileronto, at Mc-
Gill and St. James streets, and ex-
tending through Smut St. James to
Notre Dame- street,. '
The fire is thought to have originat-
ed in the basement, occupied by J. R.
Prefontaine, hair dresser. But by the
time it was discovered it had run up
throagh the elevator shaft in the cen-
tre of the building and was shooting
through the wiedows at the roof.
Owing to the network of wires in
St. James street and Notre Dame
street the firemen had hard work •in
fighting the blaze. It was with diffi-
culty that they could raise their lad-
ders, especially in Notre Deme street,
where they had to ent through some
of the big cables before they could
get the ladders up.
During the progress of the blaze a
half dozen firemen reeenied slight in-
juries from falling glass, while one,
Fireman Valance, was overcome by
smoke. He revived alter beiteg car-
ried out into the open air.
It took the firemen fully two hours
to get the blaze under control. The
estimated losses are: Semi -Ready
Wardrobe, 920.000; Scott Bros., manu-
facturers, $10„000; Royal Stores, manu-
facturers, $10,000; R'Arcy D. Bogue,
e2,000; Heicliberg & Co., and other
small firms, $5,000.
The different firms, with the excep-
tion of Heichberg & Co., are covered
by insurance.
Owen Sound Armories Burned.
OWEN SOUND, March 31. -The old
wooden armories of the 31st Regiment
was totally destroyed by fire which
broke out shortly after one o'clock
yesterda i• morning. The firemen could
KANT nothing as the flames had made
too great headway before the alarm
was sent in. The arms tied clothine
f the five eempanies having had -
quarters here, were stared in the
building and nothing was saved.
The rums were of the Lee -Enfield
issue and were 'twine called in, but a
case of twenty Ross rifles was
amongst the 'burned enntente, includ-
ing three eases of clothing received
from the Department, within the past
menth, The building replaced the
erigthal wooden structure, which was
burned about a quarter t ' a century

NEW STRENGTH
IN THE SPRING
Are Being Cleeed by Vino].
Did you ever cough for a month?
Then, Juet think how distressing it
must be to have a cough hang on for
three months.
Mre. Maria Primrose, of 87 Newell
Street, Brooklyn, N. Y., saye: "I had
a yery heavy cold which settled into
a chronic cough, which kept rne
awake nights for fully three months,
and felt tired all the time because my
rest was broken so much. The effect
of taking your cod liver and iron rem-
edy, Vinol, is that my cough is gone.
I can DOW get a good night' e rest, and
I feel much stronger in every way."
It Is the combined action of the
medicinal elements, cods' livers, aided
by the blood -making and strength -
creating properties of tonic iron which
makes Vinol so efficient in curing
chronic coughs, colds, and bronchitis
-at the same time building up the
weakened, run-down system.
Try a bottle of Vinol, with the un-
derstanding that your money will
be returned if it does not help you.
