1t has come to this that Mr.. Gould
looks upon his prof trip around
the world as lifesaving measure.
He Is run down. He no longer feels
the Inspirations that have made him
king of the market for so long. His
hand grown feebler and helfeelslt THAT
the sceptre of speculation is slipping
from his grasp. During the past few
months he has been ondeavoring to
realize as quietly but as promptly as
possible. The results have hardly
answered his expectations, for his
opponents had anticipated his plan
and have thrown every obstacle In
his way. He has had hard job with
the Western Union, and now bitterly
regrets that he threw himself Into 1t
so recklessly, for he realizes that what.
ever may be done with railroads II IL

the telegraph.
Despite these difficulties Of dlspos.

anything like reasonable price, Mr..
Gould 10 still ~ intent 90 ever upon
his trip around the world. On the
one side ID money and the other his
life. Providence plays the highway
man.
Therefore, amid all his cares and
worries, seldom . week passes that
either himself or his son George does
not 60 to the shipyard of Messrs.
Gramp & Sons, ON the Delaware, near
Philadelphia, to see how the steam
yacht Atalanta progresses. Al both
Of them will spend In this vessel the
best part of two years Of their lives,
they naturally feel the deepest interest
In following her construction.
PRIDE OF THE SEA.
Truth to say she will be . noble

ocean steamer. Indeed, there were
many ocean steamers twenty years
ago that did not equal her in tonnage,
while she surpasses any of them to.

measures 2y5 feet over oil and beam

peculiar In her build excepting the alb

constructed throughout. Her depth
will be IA feet with q draught OF II
feet 30 as to enable her to enter any
harbor that 10 worthy of the name q
all tides. The excessive length
compared with depth can only be
accounted for on this hypothesis
She would be next to useless for any
other purpose than pleasure, especially
when we consider that she will b,
given double set of engines Of ,OOl
horse power each. Should one 90
get out Of order the other may b'
used-a useful preoaution In the oom
paratively barbario latitudes whicl
Mr.. Gould will visit, where means O
repair are not at hand. But to guar

stokers and engineers will be skille,
machinists, and double set of ever,
bolt and every piece of the maohiner,
will be placed aboard so that In cas-
of anything going wrong q couple O
days of dry docking can repair all.
LIFE ON THE OCEAN WAVE.
Toe interior arrangements will b
most sumptuous. The saloon will b.
the main room, of course, and will
stretch the entire width of the vessel
Mr.. Gould's cabin will, however, b
be almost as large, and beside 1t vii
be that OF his favorlte son. Tn,
staterooms will be furnished In ma
hogany, and the style will be Queer
Anne. In every cabin, besides ful
size bedstead, there will be q Sill
swinging hammock as some sort of
preventive against sea sickness. TIL
furniture will be elaborate and rich
and will be secured to the iron floor
which will be all covered with Persia
, rugs, Bath rooms, electric bells, al

The probability Is that Mrs. Goul
will not 60 on this trip She feels
to be best that she should remain her
to look after the other children
When the yacht reaches Europe sh
will probably join the party an
make the remainder of the voyag
with them But she does not fame
the more hazardous portion of tn
trip at all and Mr.. Gould has deferre
to her Wishes.
