THE LUXURY-LOVINQ HOOLEY.
Since His Bankruptcy. He Haa Been
' Living Kxtravasrantly.
It Is now three years since the fail

yielded so. far only 50 cents in the

In view -of the magnificence with
which this splendid bankrupt continues
meanwhile to enjoy life. Inquiries have
been made as to the future prospects
the estate offers.
George Hardy, a member . of the
bankruptcy " committee appointed by
the creditors to act under the super
vision of the board of trade, when ques
tioned as to the outlook, for creditors,
expressed the belief that the estate
would yield another 2 shillings in the
pound In the course of a few months,
and was exceedingly pessimistic as to
anything beyond that, says the London
Mall. - t

fortunes bravely, does he not?" . -"In

In view of these things, the happening
of yesterday was pathetic. :
A young woman, Indeed an extremely
