New York, June -4.-Wall street has had quite a shnelk and is eagc':ly discussing the ''reculiar" action of a man who gave up a considerable fortune to pay eeri.:um morni debts which he was by no meani obliged to pay under the law. The man wvho caused this sensatim~ was Edwvin S. Hooley, whose firm, E. S. Hooley & Taylor & Co., and W. L. Stow & Co., y Co., of No. 49 Wall street, failed during the panic of 1903. The fail ure occurred on July 27, 1903, three days after the failure of Talbot J. and was for $3,000,000. The firm settled with its creditors in D 9cem ber 1903, at fifty cents on the dollar. In October, 1904, Mr. Hooley form ed his present firm of Hooley, Larn ed & Co., his partners being George E. Larned,.and Frank E. Brumley, the latter the board member.- The house was notable successful from the start and Mr. Hooley, who when the old firm made its assignment as suimed sole liability for' its debts, found recently that the time had come when he could carry out his steadfast purpose to discharge his "moral obligations'' to the credi tors. As a result he mailed to each of his creditors a check for the re maining fifty cent of his -. claims, with interest at six percent from the date of the failure. His action is not without precedent in Wall street, but the precedents are not numerous. *Mr. Hooley, who is still a young man, has always been swell liked in the street. The failure of Mr. Hooley 's firm in 1903 was due to an overload ed account In Evansville '& Terre Haute and Keokuk & .Des. Moines. These railroads the firm expedted to sell. The money developed, however bankers refused to loan on the col latetal and the Hooley firm was forc ed; to suspend. Gen. Teloni 'A. Vilemi Sayg "I Told You So". Kansas City, Mo., / June 4..bMen.

Senator Beveridge was discussing a bill (,ong since defeated) that seemed to have been framed to pro tect dishonesty. "Whenever I think of that bill," he said, "I am reminded of a certain rich man's valet. "The valet one morning was brush ing his master's clothes. He intro duced into this procedure a start ling innovation. He made a careful search of all the pockets. "In the pocket of a new waist coat the valet found a silver dollar. Thereupon he took out his penknife, and said:-' " 'For the wvaistcoat 's sake it's a thousand pities, but there's nothing else to be done. I must make a hole in this pocket large enough for the dollar to slip through."-Louisville Courier-Joufrnal. He Had Another Girl. In a small town in Pennsylvaia there lives a woman preacher. One Sunday afternoon she heard a timid knock at the parsonage door. She answered it herself, and found a bashful young German standing on the step.

"All right; I can marry you." Whereupon. t1ie German jammed his hatt on his head, turned and fled down the wvalk. "You gits no chance mid me 1" he called'back.
