ROBBED OF SIOO,OOO.
The Kin* of All the New York Gam
blers the Victim
From the -Veto York Herald.
John Daly, the king of all the New York ]
gamblers, the man who has won more bids
over a faro table than any other keeper of
a gambling house in this city, the man who
lias been able to deal faro when ail other |
faro banks have been compelled to close,
the man known far and wide as a “high
roller,” has been “done.”
“Done” is an expressive sporting term.
Used in this connection it means that John
Daly is poorer to-day by many tbousauds
than he was ten days ago.
“Robbed” is the word that 13 spokon by
those who talk, of the matter who are not
included in the class known as "sporting
men.”
From the safe in Daly’s gambling palace,
No. 39 West Twenty-ninth street, was
taken last Friday night a sum of money
es.imated at from £61.000 to SIOO,OOO.
It was in bills—in cold, hard cash. It
made a roll larger than a man’s head, and
the bills were big ones, and tightly packod
at that.
The man who took them—who was he?
None other than William S. Hollings
worth, Daly's manager, a man living a
double life. Church member and seemingly
respectable citizen twelve hours in a day;
custodian of the money of gamblers and
interested in a resort where thousands of
dollars have changed hauds the other
twelve.
John Daly’s loss has been the one absorb
ing topic among the mer> about town, the
followers of horses by day and the players
of faro by night, for the last week. They
have wondered how this 000 l bettor, the
master of the art of winning other people’s
money, this clear-headed business man, how
he, of all men, could have beau made a vic
tim.
The subject supplanted the interest in the
entries for the races, and even in the Gib
bons-MoAuliffe light. Nobody would ever
had dreamed that any man would ever get
the better of John Daly in the matter of
money.
Yot one man has—the man Hollings
worth.
TO CO\ T ER LOSSES IN’ YVALL STREET.
The story is that he took the money from
Daly’s safe, of which he held the combina
tion, and used it, or the groater part of it,
to cover losses in Wall street.
It was said Friday ni<lit that when Daly
demanded its return Hollingsworth braved
him, told him that he was rightfully en
titled to it and dared Daly to go to court.
Daly has takeu no steps in that direction.
Why ?
Because, it is whispered, any action of
that character on bis part would involve
persons of prominence in the administra
tion of the city of New York.
He who can maintain a gambling house
even when the hue and cry against gam
bling are loudest and strongest cannot af
ford to appear in a public court room as a
complainant against one acquainted with
his affairs.
Those who know Daly and Hollingsworth
and who know of the affair are as silent as
the proverbial clam. They will say abso
lutely nothing about it.
When I spoke to several of them last
night they merely stared. They looked as
if they could speak volumes. One of them,
however, came out of the shell far enough
to observe that there was “h—l to pay.”
I learned, however, that some of the
money taken belonged to the bookmakers and
to some fortunate ones who had made win
nings and had gtveu them to Daly to keep
for them. John Daly as a trustee is as solid
as the Chemical Bank.
Boilings worth, it appears, had long had
access to the safe. Many of Daly’s deposi
tors gave their money to him, but Daly was
responsible for it.
After the game was closed on Friday
nigh:, and after Daly had gouo —ho usually
retires early—Hollingsworth is said to have
taken' the money. Ho did cot ilee to
Canada, us many a thieving bank cashier
has done.
TOOK THE MONEY HOME.
No, according to all accounts he took the
money homo. He must have remained up
all night, for it is said that he was seen m
Wall street early the next morning. Pre
sumably he took the money down town with
him to make good his margins.
It is said that ho was a bear on the rising
market. He sold stocks and they advanced.
He is reported as arriving at Daiy’s
Twenty-ninth street house early Saturday
afternoon. Duly was there and had been
inspecting the safe. He had found a big
shortage.
Upon Hollingsworth’s arrival there was a
scene. Daly demanded an accounting. Hol
lingsworth said:
“VI ell, you can have one
“1 want it now,” said Daly.
“I took no more than what belonged to
me,” Hollingsworth is quoted as saying,
“and," he added significantly, “if you don’t
like it you know what you can do.”
Daly probably did know- what he could
do. But he has done nothing.
When I went to tho gambling house last
night a colored man answered the bell. I
could see through the inside glass door a
rear parlor, brilliantly lighted. Yet the
house was perfectly' dark from the outside.
“Is Mr. Dalv here?” I ask and.
“No,” the servant replied, “he’s gone to
tho fight.”
. “Is Mr. Hollingsworth, his manager,
here?" I queried.
“No,” was the curt answer, “he ain’t got
no connection with this house no more.”
YVHU HOLLINGSWORTH IS.
It is hard to believe that one whose figure
is as familiar in a prominent Episcopal
church in this city as the surplice of the
rector could be so closely allied with a
famous gambling resort as that of John
Daly.
But this is the case with ‘ ’Billy” Hollings
worth, who for years has been a resident of
Harlem, and to all appearances a devout
worshipper at the altar of Bt. Andrew’s
Episcopal church, at One Hundred and
Twenty-seventh street and Fifth avenue, of
which the Rev. Dr. George B. Van De
Water is the rector.
Thero were and are Harlemites who knew
the true bush ers of William S. Hollings
worth, notwithstanding the directory for
1891 and previous years enrolled him as a
resident of the city in this wise:
Hollingsworth, William S. v Brushes, 49 W.
B’way, h, 523 Lenox av.
Tho e who knew that the “brush” busi
ness was simply a subterfuge winked the
other eve, placed their index fingers on
their noses and said —nothing. The true
business calling of “Billy” Hollingsworth
was even known to a goodly pr. pm-iion of
the attendants at St. Andrew’s Episcopal
church too. but it behooved them for vari
ous reasons to say little more if anything
than those outside of the pale of the church.
Holliugsworth is a man of slight figure,
much below the mtdiura hight. and a
head somewhat larger than generally poised
on a man of his size. In complexion be is
decidedly light, with peculiar b.ue eyes, one
of which is in some wav afflicted, perhaps
sightless. The only' hair oa his face is a
brown mustache.
There is something refined in his dressing,
bin clothes lieing of the finest texture and
exquisitoly fitted; in fact tue average per
son would look at Ilollingswo-h and bi
prone to remark, “There’s a natty little fol
low.”
For all I know that’s what a thousand
and one have said.
SEE HIM AT CHURCH.
St. Andrew’s Episcopal church is ths
lea ling and, it is said, the moet aristoc'atio
church of that denomination north ot Cen
tral park. WI en the Sabbath rolls around
the edifice is filled three times a day with a
congregation which fills every pew, a 1 1 the
members of which ride to tho church in
thmr private equipages.
Up in the belfry hangs a set of chimes
THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1891.
which peal out the hymns of the church and |
bid the congregation euter and wor-hi;.
These notes are heard by the HollingF
worths at their home at No. 238 Lenox
avenue, and they no sooner die aay than
the worshipers in their pews look up and
see a portly woman, exquisitely attired,
walk up the middle aisle and enter the
s veuth pew from the altar. Sue is .lira.
Hollingsworth, and she is closely folio ved
by her husband, the short man I have
described.
He quietly enters the pew and takes his
seat, after which he places bis hat on the
floor in the aisle directly at the side oi toe
oaken pew in front and throws a glance of
recognition to those who sit about him.
His shoulders reach little, if any, above
the back of bis pew. There is no more ap
parently devout worshiper from 11
o’clock until a fraction of an hour after 1
o’clock in St. Andrew’s church tnau that
little man.
There comes to him, perhaps, during that
long discourse of D/. Van De Water, the
souud of tue whirring roulette wheel, or
perheps the sobs of the man who. a few
hours before, lost his alk But there is no
perceptible wince in Hollingsworth s fea
tures. There have, perhaps, been uttered
by the minister 6f tho gospel some words
that would have sent a shiver through you,
but they apparently bring jto effuot to Hol
lingsworth, lor he is not that kind of a
man, if all they say about him in sporting
circles be true.
If Hollingsworth ever did feel a tinge of
remorse it did not deter him from his
regular Sunday morning devotion, for tho
truth is, be seldom missed his attendance at
church.
As he walked down tho middle aisle of
the churc.t at the conclusion of the service,
he nodded to this one and that one on
either side as ho made his way to the
Fifth avenue entrance and started for his
home.
HIS PALATIAL HOME.
And suoh a home as “Billy” Hollings
worth and his wife and their two little
ohildren occupy at 228 Lenox avenue!
Truly taere has been no sparing of money
in its lavish appointments, for the expen
sive lace hangings have more than onco
been the talk of those who have seen them
ami heard of the fabulous amount which
HcUiug3 .vorth paid for them.
The house is a high stoop brownstone
dwelling on tho east, side of Lenox avenue,
between One Huudredard Twenty-first and
Oue Hundred and Twenty-second stree s,
for which Hollingsworth paid about two
years ago some $35,000.
That was an influitesimal amount, how
ever, in comparison with the money that is
represented iu the interior furnishing. In
deed, I was told yesterday that the ap
pointments alone represented sßj,ooo. Holl
ingsworth moved to his present home from
an apartmeut in the Beverly, at One Hun
dred and Twenty-fifth street and Lenox ave
nue, shortly after making the purchase.
One thing eertaiu is that Hollingsworth
intended the new home to be a complete
one, for electricity did away with gas, and
gilded furniture rested on the softest of £ar
pets. With all those exquisite surroundings
is there any reason to woudor that the h nd
some saloon parlors are frequently crowded
at Mrs. Hollingsworth’s afternoon teas or at
evening receptions?
Not a bit < f it, and if the truth be told
ngain invitations are eagerly sought after,
even by the members of the congregation of
Bt. Andrew’s Episcopal church.
Hollingsworth did not enter society to any
great extent, although it is known that be is
exceedingly fond of young ladies’ society,
and his affable manners, too, are exceed
ingly taking. None came to the house who
could outdo the host with tho recitals of
little anecdotes, nor could any laugh more
heartily.
Of course Hollingsworth refrained from
telling any of the church people little in
cidents, either ludicrous or pathetic, that
had occurred a thousand times in that other
gilded four-story house in West Twenty
ninth street, in which he claimed proprietor
ship.
Not much; that would hardly do. The
mixing of business with pleasure brews an*
unwholesome broth at times.
his wife mrs. Cleveland’s schoolmate.
Up in the country where “Billie” Hollings
worth hailed from I was told his "brush”
business was laugaed at, and that there was
some opposition to bis marriage with the
sweet country girl that Mrs. Hollingsworth
was when she left her boarding school, at
which Mrs. Grover Cleveland was at the
same time a scholar and classmate, to be
came Hollingsworth’s wife.
He always seems a devoted husband—
that is, to the society butterflies and his
fellow church members. But at the same
time he was known to have other attach
ments. For instanoe, he was and is some
thing of an equestrian and at one time he
was frequently seen in Seventh avenue with
an actress at one time well known to the
theater-goers, but who subsequently retired
from the glare of the footlights.
And thus it was that Hollingsworth flitted
between the gaming tables, the church and
h s home.
When I called at Hollingsworth’e house
the intelligence of my visit was carried to
Hollingsworth, with my curd. I was
ushered up stairs into the second story front
room, which the pressing of a outtoa
quickly illuminated.
Hollingsworth closed the door and after
arranging a couple of chairs bade me to be
seated.
“Mr. Hollingsworth,” I said, “I under
stand the safe in your Twenty-ninth street
house has been plundered.”
NO TRUTH IN THE STORY, HE SAYS.
“There’s not a word of truth in it,” he re
plied.
“it is said some SIOO,OOO was taken.”
“If that is tho case it must have happened
since 5 o’clock, at which time I left there.”
“Then you were there to-dav?”
“VY r hy, certainly, aud everything was all
right then.”
“Then you know nothing of any money
having been token out of Daly’s safe?”
“Why no, there’s notning iu that story at
all.”
I arose to go and Mr. Hollingsworth ac
companied me the room door.
“I was somewaaf startled,” he remarked,
as he pressed another button, turning off
the light.
“When I rend‘New York Herald' ou
your card I couldn’t imagine wLai the
trouble could bo.”
Then down the stairway we descended,
and at the front door Mr. Hollingsworth
! bade me a cheery “good-uight” and turned
! toward the back parlor where guests were
I seated.
There was one person who was charitably
inclined toward Hollingsworth last night, 1
and ho is a sporting man. •
"Whatever possessed Hollingsworth to
take the money,” he said, is beyond the
comprehension of any of the frequenters of
Daly's, He is well fixed financially, has a
good income, and the only excuse we can
■ advance is that Holliugsworth must cer
tainly he crazy.
“Of course the matter has been quietly
talked about iu Daly’s over since the money
was taken, but there has been an effort
to keep the matter quiet. But now tho
Herald has got hold of it, and that ex
plodes all the secrecy. Hollingsworth is no
longer connected with the house, that is
actively, although I believe he has some
financial interest there still.”

OLD MUMMY’S NIGHT OFF
LIVELY SCENES CAUSED BY A DE
CEASED EGYPTIiN.
Stampede in the Negro Section of
Washington —Passengers Suddenly
Decide to Walk and Bartenders For
get to Charge for Drinks.
From the Washington Post ,
Four fun-bent students having in their
possession Prof. Fristoe’s mummy, created
no little excitement Tuesday night. Prof.
Fristoe values the mummy very highly, and
for years it has been kept in a glass case at
the Columbian University, where the medi
cal students could view it. Perhaps there
is no finer specimen of a mummified body
In existence, and the janitors of the build
ing have been instructed for years past to
keep a close watch on the professor's pet.
The professor did Dot appear to fear the
law students and the janitors were not dis
posed to believe that they would steal it.
Tuesday, however, tho four young men of
the law department concocted a plan to
give tho mummy a night’s outing. At night
they entered the building, and told the
janitor there were certain books they
wished to got. Three of them repaired to
the room in which tho mummy was kept
while tho other member of the conspirators
entertained the janitor. The hideous
looking mummy was t ikon from the glass
case, and with me aid of a rope, which one
of the young men had secreted or und his
body beneath his coat, was lowered from a
window to tho rear yard.
The young men gathered up a few books
and departed from the building, the janitor
suspecting nothing. After walking down
the street the young men returned and se
cured the mummy, which they succeeded
in getting out of the yard without being de
fect ed. To get as far away from the univer
sity as possible, and in the quickest way,
was their first aim.
Going around to Fourteenth street, they
boarded a car,
trying to conceal the grinning mummy as
much as possible, but several of the i a-sen
gers cauzht sight of it, and they stopped
the car immediately, getting off as if there
was a sudden outbreak of small-pox or
yellow fever. Of course the young men en
joyed the fun, and one of them, who was
something of a ventriloquist, began to make
the mummy talk. This settled it. The re
maining passengers vacated the car, and the
young men and the mummy had it all to
themselves until the junction of Pennsyl
vania avenue and Seventh street was
reached, when ten or a dozen persons
boarded the car, but one by one they
dropped off when they saw- the muinray,
which by this time had a hat and coat ou.
The conductor told the young men that
they must either throw the thing out or get
off themselves; but they had no idea of
parting company with tho mummy, and
stopped the car, and after making the
ticket-puncher shake hands w ith their pet,
got off tho car. They entered a saloon ueur
the National hotel and ordered beer, at the
same time placing the mummy on the

claimed the dispenser of liquids as he gazed
on the mummy. "You tiuks dis vis a
grat eyard I"
Then the mummy began to talk and in
less than two seconds the rotund figure of
the saloonist made a hasty exit through the
rear door, leaving the young men! in full
possession of the place. Mr. Barringer, in
the absence of the proprietor,
SERVED THE DRI.XKS
to his companions, and then the saloon was
vacated. A Chinese laundry was next
visited, and One Lung and some of his
friends soon discovered that thy had press
ing business engagements In uther sections
of the city, and did not tarry to ask for
“washoe tickets.”
It was late iuthe night before the Celes
tials ventured back into the [Sundry and
then it was in company with a policeman.
Opposite Carson’s hotel a large orowd of
colored people had assembled, but when the
young men passed holding between them the
mumni}', the walk was so n cleared and
rumors that the “night doctors” were on
the warpath spread rapidly. If there is
anything in the world a majority of colored
people are shakyon.it is the body-snatchers,
and tho appearance of the young men with
the mummy was a little more than they
could s’and. As they proceeded down the
street people stopped and looked at the
stranze sight and wondered wnat medical
college would get the “stiff." Oppusito
Twelfth street the young men crawled into
a hack, but when tho driver saw the
mummy he jumped off his box and raised a
scene. He wanted it distinctly understood
that he was not hauling dead people; A
great doal more than the regular faro was
offered the cabby, but he refused to turn a
wheel, and when he got a good look at the
mummy and heard n begin to sing “Down
in the cold, cold ground,”
HE PROPPED Ills YVHIP
and made 2:40 time down D street. Several
cabmen were tried, but the young men
could not get one of them to haul them.
Before they left the cab stand there was not
a vehicle there. They bad succeeded in
clearing them out completely, and finding
no further amusement there, tboy made a
flank movement for F strret where sovornl
saloons were visited. Obb of the bartenders
was so badly frightened that he faiuted, and
as he fell ho cut bis bead against tha edge of
the counter.
Just as the young men came nut of tho
saloon do<r a cMoi ed girl ran up against tho
mummy. There was a scream resembling
that of a lost soul, and she sunk on the pave
ment, shouting, "Ob, deni night, doctors I”
Fortunately an alley was conveniently i ear
and into this the young men took refuse
until the excitemeut subsiled, when they
quietly walked out and made straight for a
saloon near Welcker’s. Here cocktails were
ordered but the bartender was so badly
frigtituued that he served beer and refused
to accept pay. He begged piteously for the
ycung men to leave the saloon, but they did
not depart until several r unds of beer hod
goue down their throttles. The mummy
couldn't drink, but several straight ten
cent cigars were stuck into his mouth as ho
was straightened up to the bar. Several
private residences were then visited, aud
finally the mummy was laid to rest under
Mr. Kirkland’s bed, and the boys sat up
telling ghost stories until the sun was up.
Last l ight Prof. Fristoc’s pet was quietly
slipped back into the glass case at the uni
versity, and when ho discovers that the
boys have had it cut on a lark there will be
trouble.
Pfa!agraffe Opinion of Labor Dsy.
The reporter for the New York Morning Ad
vertiser dropped into Mr. Pfalsgraff’s saloon
last evening to ascertain how the current ot
thought flowed as to Labor day, and was

HEREDITY IN MONKEYS.
A Schema (or Improving the Intellects
of Anthropoids by Breeding.
From the Wathinoton Star.
A man of largo means who resides in
Washington has recently declared his in
tention, privately, to devote #IOO,OOO to a
very original purpose.
The idea is that no satisfactory opportun
ity has over been afforded for the develop
ment of the intellect of the brute. Intelli
gence, like bodily qualities, is susceptible of
improvement through brooding, as every
one knows who lias thought about the
evolution of the dog from tee wolf by arti
ficial selection. This rich man proposes
monkeys or apes shall he taken as subjects
for experiment, simply because man under
stands those animals better than he does
others.
Let fifty of them, half males and half
females, ce placed in a paddock, suitably
provided with separate quarters for the
sexes. Then have them breed, pair by pair,
as shall be directed by those who superin
tend. Borne of them will develop oertain
abilities more conspicuously than others-
For example, certain individuals will ex
hibit a superior understanding of the com
mands addressed to them or will show a
greater dexterity in the handling of objects.
Those which appear stupid are to be expelied
from the colony, their places being tilled
by fresh recruits. When a male and a
female are found who exhibit the same sort
of aptitude in any direction thev are to lie
mated. This prooess, carried on for
generations, would u**cossarily result in tho
development of superior characters until
finally, after the lapse of twenty-five years
perhaps, there would almost certainly be
had apes or monkeys far higher in the scale
of reason than any known up to the present
time.
Those putative cousins of the human race
have already exhibited a mental and even
mechanical capacity suflioient to give
ground for great hopes of possible develop
ment in point of intellect. Chimpanzees
have been taught to briug things to the ta
ble, and the big Langur babouu of India is
oummonly ÜBed in that country to-day as a
servant for working the puuknh fans, with
which flies are kept away from dinner ta
bles. Explorer Btanlev has given an account
of apes which carry torches at night.
This is believed by scientists to be an ab
surdity, because all the anthropoid and
simian tribes are too afraid of fire to render
such a thing possible. It is a fact well Known
that gorillas, while they will gather about a
deserted camp fire for the sake of warmth,
will never think of keoping the embers
alight by adding fuel. Nevertheless, every
book ou natural history relates many au
instance illustrative of these creatures'
thinking powers, and there is no question
that it could lie greatly improved by the
process of judicious breeding. Even a pig
can be taught to count up to ten.
UNPOPULAR GREAT MEN.
The Unpleasant Consequences of Get
iog Ahead of the .ago.
Flora (trowing Youth.
A little more than throe and a quartor
centuries have passed since the birth ot Gal
ileo.tho greatest philosopher and astronomer
that Italy ever saw. In the same year—
1364—Shakespeare was born. At that time
the people of the eastern continent were
almost totally ignorant of the existence
of America. They had heard in a
vague way about tho groat western
world, but they could form no con
ception of the vast extent of our territory,
many believing that it was simply a small
island. In the same year that Galileo and
Khakespeare saw tho light the huguenots
began a settlement in Florida, which at that
time was thought to be an enchanted spot.
Galtleo was the eldest son of a nobleman of
Florentine, and In his infancy manifested
an interest In the Btars. While looking at
the heavens one night he said in his child
like manner:
“There are thousands of stars, and yet
all of them together do not give one-tenth
the light that tee sun itself gives.” No boy
ever worked harder to gain knowledge,
and no boy had so many obstacles to over
come as this young student. Before he had
reached his ISth year he was well versed in
Latin and Greek, was an excellent artist
and au accomplished musician. His father
wished him to practice medicine, but hi?
tastes and inclinations led him
to follow mathematics. Galileo’s
Ideas wore eo fur beyond the
age in which he lived that no publisher
dared print his works. His first essav . n
“Hydrostatic Balance” was written in 1586,
but it was not until 1610 that it was read by
the public. His iv on “The Center of
Gravity” was not published until fifty years
after it was written. While in his 70th
year he was cast into prison and all his
works prohibited. This was a terrible blow
to the old man, for he had committed no
crime; he know in his heart that he was
right. When be asked why he was sent
to prison he was told that he bad been
making false statements. "You say that
the world moves, but it does not.” said his
enemies. “It is the sun that moves.” "But
the world does move.” said Galileo, fear
lessly, as the they were shutting him in a
dai k cell. We speak of tbs “dark ages," of
the "egos of superstition,” etc., of the cen
turies past, and forget all about the ignor
ance, darkness and superstition of the
nineteenth century. Galileo stood
foremost among tho unpopular great men
of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
There are three in the nineteenth century
who are laughed at for advocating “impos
sible” schemes—Mr. Morse, because he sai l
a message could he sent by wire; Cyrus W.
Field, because he suid a cable could he laid
across the Atlantic; Edison, because ho
stated he could light koines aud streets by
eloctricity.
