One day marshaling mil- lions, and dazzling the world of i- | ndnce. Another day not long after tumbling from his dizzy height, and expiring alinost as the court de- clares him criminal. Such was the' career of Whitaker Wright, the pro- moter of the modern South Sea bubble. By birth an Details Englishman, Wright was an American by naturalization and training. He came of the school of United States finfinciers who have exploited the public with so much success by means of the trusts As a broker in Philadelphia' he had ob- served their methods His first achievement was in ew York floating Australian mines, but was a trifling affair. His great and crown- ing venture was launc hed about ten years ago for the purpose of handi- ing and speculating in Australien mining securities. In 1894 the West Australian Financial Corporation was formed with a modest capital of one million dollars. In this com- pany Wright reserved to himself 5.- 000 founders' shares, representing at par $250,000. In the following year the London and Globe Corporation was floated by Wright, with a nomi- nal capital of a million dollars, of which he held founders' stock to the value of about $25,000 Thus far the financial operations had been of a preparatory nature By 1897 Wright had wormed him self into the confidence of manv men of high standing in Great Britain He was regarded as a wealthy, a suctessful, and withal a safe opera- tor in mining Securities. A princely pajace in Park Lane was his donii- cile. Luxury and outward evidences of affluence abounded. Thus equipped Whitaker Wright essayed to float the London and Globe Financial Cor- poration, to take over the emine ntly successful business of the two other concerns, and to engage in larger and more profitable ventures. 'The new corporation aspired to a capital of $10,000,000. Lord Dufferin was its chairman For the founders' shares held by Wright in the two other concerns he was allowed in the new company $3,050,000, which was exactly three millions more than the face value of the shares translerred His salary was fixed at $20,000 a vear, and a commission upon "the dividends earned The public wos cager to buy the new securities Wright was the whole concern, and the Board of Directors was a noncn- tity. Meanwhile other companies were formed to assist the "projects | Wright..One of these side-shows was | the British-American Company, with a capital of $7,500,000. Next, the Standard Exploration , Company another Wright venture, was cap - talized at the same figure. = Thess concerns, which Wright controlled. bought and sold stock to each oth- er at, apparently, handsome profits to the shareholders. As a: matter of fact, Wright was simply buying and selling to himself, while the gullibls public looked on sometimes envious- ly at the splendid profits that wera being made. The scheme was not un- like & game of football. Stocks were passed from hand to hand continu- ously. When the time came to strike the annual balance sheet, one comi- pany would unload on'the others, would, in fact, appear to make a | 'goal, and in dué time the process would be reversed. In the first year of its existence the London and Globe Financial Corporation was by this means en- abled to gratify the investing pub- lic by declaring a dividend ,of 10 per cent This of course was done to stimulate sales of stock. In 180% of | the same process was repeated. It is | in respect of the balance sheet of | 1899 that the charge of fraud was | made against Whitaker Wright. The | 'balance sheet represented a profit of | $2,445,000, and showed that 'the | company had $2,672,275 in the bands of its' bankers All the figur- ing was done by Wright, the confid- ing directors simply cepting his statements. They declared the usual dividend of 10 per cent. and added that they would have been justified in declaring a dividend of 25 per' cent., but that it was thought bhet- ter to pursue 'a sound and conserv- ative course.' 'The financial state- ment, however, was entirely false The actual bank balance on Sept 7. 1899, was $163,000, about (wo millions and a hall less than it was represented to be a few weeks later. | The money had, in the meantime, 'been obtained by manipulations with the other companies. At the t » the profits were represented at (Wo and a half, millions they had not ex- | ceeded $283,000, This process ol | falsification has been described o8 "window dressing.' |" In the following year aflairs Were in a worse state. The corporation | had experienced a loss of £8,000 - 000. but the balance sheet acain | showed a profit of about $2 .8300 000. Wright had valued shares in the balance sheot at double the price he 1900 At that time the company's balance sheet showed a sysplus of $13,783,000 _ over air Ibilities Wright had unloaded nearly all 'his founders' stock. The £20,000.000 iu- vested in the corporation was a tot- al loss. The failures of the auxiliary Satpanics add greatly to that tig- | ur | Wright fled to France, and after. wards took refuge in New York un- dor the name of M. Andreoni. There he was caught and extradited. [iis prosecution and conviction to seven vears' imprisonment was under the It | Larceny Act, which makes it a ¢crim- inal offence for a director of anv company to prepare and issue finan- cial statements calculated to deceive and Hefraud. From the jurisdiction of earthly courts death almost in- Ee stantly released the ruired and dis A FAMOUS HOAX. The Trick Theedoere Hesk Played enn Woman Ne Disliked. Theodore Hook,. the w lence of the early uincteenth cen tury, is a name that still brings a kind of genial glow to the mind as at the remembrance of good and happy days. We suspect, however, that very few peopl to-day could give a definite account of why Theo- dore Hook was and w hat he did. An article in The Cornhill by Viscount St. Eyres sets the wit and his circle pretty clearly before the mind. This famous hoax, for example, played off on Mrs, Tottenham, an old ladv of Berners street, who had offended | him, may be new to many readers and is at least worth repeating: "I'll make that old woman the | talk of London," he said, and ac- | cordingly wrote to every sort and | kind of person--it is said 4.000 in | all--asking them to call at her house y in Derners street on a ce rain dav. 'The first thing Witnessed,' says & potespaper of the time, 'was six stout men bearing an' organ, sur- rounded by Wine porters, barbers with wigs, mantaumakers with band boxes, opticians with the various in- struments of their trade. Wagons | laden with coal from the Paddington | wharfs, upholsterers' goods in cart loads, pianofortes, linen and jewiry of every. description filled the street. 'Besides. these, a coffin was brought to the house, made by order, agreg- able to letter, five feet six by six- teen inches, There were accoucheurs, tooth drawers, miniature painters and servants of ¢very wanting places. Certain revelations | to be made respecting a complicated system of fraud pursued at the Bank | of England brought the governor of | that establishment. The Lord Mayor | and his 'chaplain were allured by an invitation to receive the death-bed | confession of a peculating common | council man, while the Duke of Glou- | cester started off with Colonel Dal- ton to receive a communication from. a dying woman, formerly a confi dential attendant on His Royal | Highness' mother. His were the rov- | #1 liveries tonspicuous on the occa- | sion."' | There must certainly have heen a | zest to life in those days, though | the old lady of Berners street mav | not have enjoyed the joke as much as did Theodore Hook and the actor Lintot, who rented a chamber oppo- site the fated house and looked down | on the wilderness of wagons and carriers: that filled the ways for blocks around "IT do not fancy mysell to be & goed judge of the public taste. | § have never clearly discovered what it is that attracts the average read- | er. Many popular authors would suf- fer considerably, and at least one obscure writer 'would gain, if every- body took my view of their merits. 1 believe not the less in the vox populi. 'Books succeed, T hold, be- cause they ought to succeed. A critic Ras no business to assume that taste is bad because he does not share it. His business is to accept the fact antl try to discover thelGualities to view. Odd Facts AD ut Cancer, the deaths from cancer numbered ond out of 25.30 for the entire town, ont out of nine forthe eastern suburb, and in the western suburb there wos not a single case. The houses were similpr in size and arrangementsi The/soil of the main town and east: ern suburb was moist and lay low. That of the western suburb was, on the contrary, sandy, dry and elevat: ed. There was a large ditch which encircled the central town and the eastern suburb, mot touching the western suburb, and the cancer fol lowed closely the course of this ditch. The cases in the main town occurred chiefly + in those houses whose gar dens bordered on the ditch, and in the eastern suburb all the gardent were watered from the ditch. Ther were 127 houses in this quarter, -- fifty-six of these were cancer houses, forty-three with one case each, te® with two.cases, two with three cases and one with four cases. The ditch contained stagnant water, with which the people watered and washed theh vegetables, many of which were cates raw.-- London News. Whe Was Nerve.
