English “Guinea Pigs.”

The troubles of the English nobility did not stop with the Hooley exposures. The London Critic has gone on to compile a choice list of sixty-nine noblemen who are directors of 190 companies, with a capital of over $323,090,000, the greater number of which have never yielded a penny of dividend. Fortunately for the conservation of tbe peerage, however, the titled director continues to draw handsome fees, and it is calculated that one noble lord who is director in fourteen companies received more for the use of his name than the shareholders received for the use of $15,000,000.
