leoi; of W all street are beginning to come
When Drew, Stock well and all
thejold-tinie operators failed they went
do\W like giants and they lay on their backs
ard never got up again. No one over ex
peot/jl them to recover from the effects of
ft disjstrous defeat and they drifted along
unt iijthey gramially dropped out of sight;.
Stoclnvell is seen about yet; he is, I believe,
still a member of the Union Club, as he was
so fo'tunate as to buy a life membership
when things were running his way. He has
never recovered from the blow of his abrupt
fail from affluence to poverty. One week
he was a millionaire many times over, the
next week he found himself-practically and
literally penniless and owing thousands of
dollars to his hrokers. Stock well is now
well along in years a nd looks reasonably
healthy: nis attire is always neat, his yellow
hair well plastered, over his bullet-shaped
head and his reddish whiskers combed out.
to the breeze. He has iieen broke formally
years and never expects to get up again.
W'Q ft
G. I. SEXEY.
The new school of Wall street Napoleons
differs from the men of the Stock well type;
once they are down they fall to fighting
tooth and nail to get up again. When George
1 Seney was snowed under by ati abrupt
slump in the mark-*, and a fortune of ten
or twelve millions was sent whistling to the
winds, he fell on his back with his eyes open
and still fixed upon the eminence from which
he had been hurled; he kept, his old desk in
his office, went to business as usual the
morning after the hrenk and started right
in to build M another fortune He never
dissipated, lived temperately, and the day
after his disaster was in as good shape as he
had ever been in his life. The effects of his
grit and pei-severance are already evident.
He got the i-espect of his old associates by
the plucky manner in which he went to
work, and they threw commissions and as
sistance in his way whenever the opportu
nity offered. He made pond every obliga
tion as rapidly as possible In that way the
element of self-interest, was not wanting in
the assistance that was held out to him.
"lieney is a. rich man to-day and his daugh
ers are heiresses and bid fair to marry as
'ell as increase the prestige of the family.
JAMES K. KEENE.
Keene is another illustration of the re.
tnarkable recuperative powers of some o r
these latter-day financiers. Everybody re
members when he came over from Califor
nia in a special car with JT.OOO.CKIO and the
avowed intention of smashing Gould. Gould
said he would send him home in a freight
car inside of ten years, but he did not. do it.
Keene is a stavei. he was smashed to bits
on the Stock Exchange, but ho did not run
hack to California, by a very largo majority;
fate kicked him down to the foot of the
ladder, hut he began to struggle up again
as soon as he struck, the ground. He never
lost his faith in his elements of success, and.
what is more to the purpose, he managed to
convince a good many men of heavy finan
cial resources of his ability to get. back in
place again. Keene kept his friends through
all. He, like Seney, waft never a man fond
or display, and he began his fortune-making
over again with the same steadiness and
steadfastness that characterized the older
man. Keene is already a man of promi
nence in IVall street and again bids fair to
be of much more importance in the near
future. Apparently he has no other inter
ests than the stock market. He is repre
sented by his son in sport and in society.
This young man is nam -d Foxhafi Keene,
and lie is familiarly known as Foxy. The
race horse that carried off the Derby honors
was named after him. Mr. Foxball Keene’s
mast prominent, and impressive character
istic is an expression of reserve. It is in
tense, overwhelming and indigenous—he

down to a shadow so as to ride as a gentle

muscle prodigiously so as to shine at tennis
tournaments. Meanwhile his father pegs

sn' to the title of • fallen Rplea of W all
►tre*t || *• eroofxsl in ill inpli superb
•HO magnificent fefttton that even Uie
dians in the comic operas sang about him,
1 and his name was in everybody's mouth
i from one end of the country to the other,
j The impression prevailed for a time that
; -lay Gould acted the part of a benevolent
and kindly friend in taking Mr. Field's
stock off his hands at a very critical and
unfortunate moment. The recent tremen
dous lift in the stock market has set people
thinking. There is not much doubt, that,
Gould has added a comfortable number of
millions to hig pile through his kindly action
in relieving ins friend Field of the securi
ties. Jt is perhaps in consonance with the
1 well-known character of Mr. Gould to sug
I gest that possibly he foresaw the rise in the
j stock market before lie loaded himself down
with Mr. Field’s wares. In fact, the most,
rigid analysis of the transaction cannot fail
to show Mr. Gould up as a large winner for
his kindness. Rut although (’yrus AV. Field
was very hard hit, he is by no means per
manently injured. The wealth and re
sources of the Field family are probably
greater than those of any other family in
the country. From Cyrus all the way down
through tne various ramifications of the
family to his nephew, Stephen Field, there
is an abundance of grit and dash. I would
rather back a Field than a fuvorite in this
ease every time.
The sensation of the season in Wall street
now is Villard, originally an obscure news
pajier reporter, who has forced his way by
sheer will power and brains to a command
ing position in the railroad world. Although
he was frozen out of the Northern Pacific
at the beginning of its prosperity and evict
ed at the same time from one of the most
magnificent houses iu New York, he pulled
himself together so completely that he is
now an absolute power in the financial
world. His force and personality is being
felt in a dozen different directions around
tow-n. Unlike the other fallen Napoleons,
he deserted the scenes of his triumph and
defeat and went abroad. Ke lias come back
with millions of German capital behind him
and millionaires as well as investors are
looking for hitn. No man who has watched
the earee -of these sterling and hustling
operators fails to think of the little man
who is now- in Sing Sing, and who in all
likelihood will be back in the financial
world within the next four years. The
financial genius of Ferdinand Ward has
received lively recognition and it may lie
taken for granted that, he will in time get
hack into his old position again. He
achieved more striking results than any of
the other adventurers of his class, and when
he is at liberty he will get hack in harness
again as sure as there is a dollar left in Wall
street.
Henry S. Ives’ future is about on a par
with that of Ward. Wherever he lands the
chances are twenty to one he will land on
his feet. He lias the same marvelous confi
fidenee in his own ability and the same stock
of overwhelming contempt, for his fellow
operators that has distinguished all of the
notable operators in Wall street,. It, is an
extraordinary- gamble down there at best,
and the shai-p gamblers have to be very
sharp indeed to get ahead of their fellows.
Blakely Hall.
A FINANCIER OF BLOOD AND IRON.
Something of Interest Concerning
Henry Villard.
New York, Sept. ’.24.—“D0 you know
that man over there t” asked a broker, in
Delmonico’s the other day. He indicated a
large man with a German cast of features
quietly taking his lunch at one of the small
marble-topped tables on the first floor of
Delnionieo’s Broad street establishment. It
is here that brokers and financiers come for
a hasty lunch when they have no time for a
more leisurely repast upstairs. Crowds
are constantly surging through from Broad
to New street, either making the long tcssel
ated room a public highway to the rear
entrance of the Stock Exchange or stopping
at the bar, or standing in a long row at the
lunch counter, or ohattiug at the cigar
stand, or eagerly watching the stock indi
cator. In the rush and bustle of the crowd
the heavy-faced German at one of the little
side tables would hardly have been notioed.
A glance showed him to be one who is
known on two continents as an intrepid
financier. It was Henry Villard. Public
attention has again been drawn to him
from the fact that he has again become a
director in the Northern Pacific railroad.
He is a native of Bavaria and is now about
50 years of age. He came to this country
some years before the war and w ent West,
where he became connected with a German
newspaper. Ho is one of a numher of
journalists who have won celebrity iu
finance. Jay Gould as a boy had some con
nection with journalism. The Hon. S. V.
White used to be a reporter on a (St, Louis
journal. James R. Keene was the editor of
a California newspaper, and others of a
lesser degree of financial fame have furn
nished “copy” as reporters for that insa
tiable monster, the newspaperjoress.
Henry Viliam’s real name is Heinrich
Hilgardo. On entering the Union army at
the outbreak of -the war a mistake was
made in entering his name. The recruiting
Sergeant understood him to give it as
Villard instead of Hilganle. The name
Heinrich could of coui-se be very correctly
anglicized as Henry, and finding himself
eutered as Villard ho thereafter retained
that name. It recalls the fact that U. S.
Grant was U. H. Grant until the Congress
man who secured his appoint-ment as a
cadet at West Point changed the initials by
a mistake in making out the necessary
papers. There has been some gossip, to Mr.
Villard's detriment, growing out of this
change of name, but there was no sinister
reason for the alteration and no romance
can be built upon it. Subsequently lie
became a war correspondent for a New
York evening paper and still later acted as
Washington correspondent for the same
journal. While in Washington he became
identified with the Northern Pacific enter
prise through his influence with capitalists,
who invested large sums in what was at first
a blind pool. Villard said to them, “I’ve got
a big thing and I want you to put some
money into it, but I can’t tell you what it is
at present.” .lay Cooke had dropped the
Northern Pacific and his other enterprises a
bankrupt in 1873. His creditors left him
his Nothereu Pacific stock, which was con
sidered of no value, and also considerable
property in Duluth, which was then con
sidered a mere skeleton city, but of which
Jay Cooke predicted that it would yet be
come one of the great grain markets of the
Northwest. This prediction, by the way,
has been verified. Property worth in 18i3
a song is now worth millions. Duluth owes
Proctor Knott n large advertising bill and
has never paid him anything but chaff and
ridicule. Knott first brought the zenith city
of unsalted seas prominently before the
country.
Well, it was through the purchase of Jay
Cooke's interest and that or others in tne
Northern Pacific that Villard came to the
front. He pushed the railroad forward and
drove the golden spike, of which the
world lifts heard so much. Then came the
reaction; difficulties l>est the road, the
value of the stock steadily declined, in spit*
of the glowing prophecies os to its future,
and in the end Henry Villaid alepped down
from his seat of power as a railroad prince
shorn of his honors and his fortune, and
broken in health. He was at one time said
to be w ort h $10,000,000.
The reporter had nibbed Aladdin’s lamp
to some purpose to acquire siu-ii a fortune.
He now returned to Ills native land, and
in time regained hi* health. About a year
ago he 1-etiirned to Ibis country, took an
office in tbe great Mill* building, on Broad
street, and process led quietly to push his
way back into the fluauHal arena to meet
the other great railroad gladiators. He was
backed by wealthy hanker* of Berlin Now
at length, he is again in tbe Northern Pacific
directorate, not as a dead < id on hornet .ark

are gray, penetrating and rather forbidding,
the features are heavy, the jaw firm and the
whole face suggests Bismarck. If is that of
a man of blood and iron. Hi manners are
taciturn. He is not a gentleman in the
ordinary acceptation of the terra; at times
he seems as rude and rough as a Teutonic
savage of a thousand years ago, the ancient,
halt-naked Northern barbarian by some
strange chance appearing in the broadcloth
and silk hat, of the modern financier. This
brutality of manner has made him many
enemies, but his unquestioned ability, his
tireless perseverance, a certain rough
magnetism and iron resolution have
recommended him to men of money in spite
of bis first fiailure with the Northern Pacifir,
and once more lie grasps the reins of power.
He is living very quietly in this ritv with
his wife, the daughter of the late \Villlam
Lloyd Garrison, the anti-slavery agitator.
He has several children and is exemplary in
his domestic relations. He is quite a fine
pianist, accompanies his eldest daughter on
the violoncello. In the heyday of his
former prosperity he built a house on Madi
son avenue nearly opposite the Archiepisco
pal palace attached to the St. Patrick’s
Cathedral. It suggests a Paris hotel of one
of the aneien regime. It cost him $750,000
A year or two ago he sold it for about half
its cost. Whitelaw Keid did not buy it, as
has been reported, but I). 0. Mills, to whom
Mr. Reid is so much indebted for financial
aid, bought it for his daughter, Mrs. White
law Reid.
The future career of Henry Villard will
be watched with interest by financiers all
over the country.

A MAN WHO HANDLES MILLIONS.
Apparently Careless Methods in Car
rying Around Securities.
New York, Sept. “4.—When the ordinary
man thinks of the way in which money or
its equivalent, greenbacks and other negoti
able securities, are made he has present be
fore his vision bolts and bars for the ex
clusion of burglars; armed guards to pre
vent a deliberate attack upon the vault;
stern-featured men, who watch each other
like so many cats, carefully counting each
scrap of valuable paper, and lastly, a num
ber of keen-eyed, invisible detectives,
watching them all to prevent collusion.
When this untutored man thinks of how
these valuable securities are delivered to
their owners lie base dim idea of a closed
cart, carefully locked, with a guard beside
the driver and another at the rear.
Nothing could lie further from the truth.
I saw in a Broadway horse car one evening
not long since, a tall, fine-looking man ac
companied by a messenger lxiy. The latter
carried a small pa'-kage in strong, thick
paper bound with a stout string. It might
htive contained anything—a pair of shoes
or a bundle of laundry- blit it didn't. There
was in it. 500 bonds of the Missouri
Pacific Railroad which were being carried
in this apparently careless way to the house
of Mr. George Gould. That occurrence has
been repeated many times.
The man who thus carried openly a large
fortune and had it within his power to han
dle without restriction riches to such an
enormous amount that the sum contained iu
the package was a mere trifle in comparison
is the President of a well-known bank note
company.
I had occasion to call upon him the other
day and questioned him as to the position he
occupied and Uie trust necessarily reposed
in him by wealthy men and corporations. I
was amazed to learn that he had it in Ids
power to handle enormous sums of money
without being placed under any actual prac
tical surveillance, in one way and another
he had the access to securities amounting to
hundreds of millions of dollars. At times
there were in liis possession negotiable secu
rities the par value of which would amount
to more than $500,000,000.
Besides these, he had under his private
lock and key tlie plates from which the
bonds of nearly all the prominent railroads
and corporations of the country could be
duplicated. Banks notes of nearly all the
countries of the American Continent passed
through his hands, and the means of re
producing itheni were within his power. If
he desired to use this power he could for a
long time escape attracting any attention,
and liefore his crime could be discovered ho
could have possessed himself of an enormous
fortune and huve disappeared beyond the
reach of the law.
That siu-h shrewd and wary financiers as
George Gould and Russell -Sage, both of
whom are directors in this bank note com
pany, should placed so much confidence in
one man seems startling at first thought, It
would appear to argue that they had an
amount of confidence in human nature that
no one has yet supposed them to possess.
That corporations and governments should
place it within the jiower of one man to rob
them of startingiy large sums of money
seems astounding. But the fact is that there
is no choice in the matter. The bank note
business in this country is all conducted
in the same manner and the same confi
dence is reposed in the head of each con
cern.
While the most careful safeguards are
placed about tlie minor employes, the head
of the company is almost entirely un
checked. While" the employes are locked up
in til? workshop, in case a single piece of
paper used for hank notes or bonds should
be missing, until it is found, the President
carries elxiiit him the keys to safes contain
ing enormous amounts of money. His op
portunities are far greater for" fraud than
are those of a bank cashier or President, in
asmuch as the last two are always check
upon each other, and the amount of money
at their disposal is never so grea .
The President in question laughwj as ]
asked him how it happened that a busi
ness of such magnitude should be con
ducted in apparently such a careless man
ner.
“The position of President of such a com
pany.” lie .‘aid, “is one of great honor in the
business world. No man would lie given
such a position who.se probity was not thor
oughly known throughout business circles,
and whose character was not entirely with
out blemish. Such a man w ould accept the
position simply because of the honor it
would reflect upon him. The salary would
not by any means recompense him for the
worry and'i'e.sponsibility he incurs. That
being the case, he would not submit to be
ing planed under checks or restricted in his
powers. He is, of course, always prepared
with accurate statements of his business af
fairs, when the directors of t lie company re
quire them, hut these am necessarily merely
nominal checks. It would b* an affront to
such a man to suspect him of abusing his
powers, and he would not uc‘opt the p<*i
tion if he had any mason to suppose that
his footsteys were being doggy! by detec
tives. That, however, would lie the only
practical check iifioii hint."
Yet, 1 am told, th're has never lieen a
single instance in the history of hank note
•-onqiaiiieri in this country of dishonesty on
the part of the man in whom this wonder
ful confidence is re|vised, although the pay
they receive is not at ed commensurate with
the enormity of their trust. Kix or seven
thousand dollar* a year is all that is jmid to
a man who lias the opportunity of helping
himself to all the money hr could ever pos
sihly use.
It is nevertheless appalling to think of the
amount of damage a dishonest man in such
a position could do to the commercial inter
ests of tha country.
