Law Could's Ambition.

The follOwing.a remarkable picture
of remarkable man. is taken from
al exchange. Gould is probably not.
IN every sense, the man he is ina!
ined to m-if there is any truth in the
following pen-picture of his charac-
ter:
The understanding in Wall street
is that Jay Gould now has in hand
the biggest deals in his career. 1t is
estimated that he will make from
sc, ,OOO,O 900 to 25. 100000 clear money
in them. The principal one of them.

in the appreciation in value Of the
securities owned by him. His other
great gains will be in the Wabash
railway reorgani zation and the adjust
ment of affairs connected with the
Southwestern system of railroads.
Qould's greed for money has grown
of late years until he is grasping as a
miser. He has lost all his venture .

that covets a piece Of cheese. and as
saving rs cast-away. The Hon.
Russell Sage, whose name for econO'
my has spread to the furtherC1ost
ends of the civilized globe. srems to
have inspired Mr.. Gould with his
ways.
It is Mr.. Gould's ambition to be the
richest man in America. John Jaco b
Astor enjoys that distinction at pres
ent. He is worth in round numbers
$50, ,OOO, 900. Mr.. Gonld's wealth ag.
gregates about half that sum. but he
may take only a year to make it equal
to it.. All depends on the state of the
stock market. If values increase as
Mr.. Gould would have them his for
tune would grow so fast that few
months might give him the dlstinc-
tion he Graves.
Gould is a most remarkable man.
1t has been said that he has not a
pleasure in the world, and nothing to
brighten his life but his gold. Merci-
less and unscrupulous as he is in bust
ness it is doubted If there was ever a
man who loved his home more. There

lie bounds up and down stairs with
the greatest agility, and so rapid in
his movements that he passes and re-
passes persons who are waiting for
him without their recognizing him.
He has not an idle minute in the day.
His interviews are brief and to the
point. He rarely says more than
Yes" or mo" to questions.
Mr.Gould Is very early riser.
The first streak of light in summer or
winter sees his eyes open. He is out
of bed at once. and as soon as he can
get his breakfast is at his work, which
he has often said is neverending.

Senator who will give effect to it; or
whether it will elect man who took

Old School Theologians Control the
Convention

DEs MONIES. Ia, Oct 5-TSpecial Tele-
gram to the BEE. THE first days session of
the American board shows that the conScrva-
tive element is in the majority. A glance at
the large number of gray heads would indi-
cate that the majority of the official and rep
resentatye men are well along in years,
many of them upwards of seventy. They
have control of the machinery and will, so
far as possible, endeavor to keep the
new departure men from coming to
tine front. Dr. Withrow's sermon
was an emphatic endorsement of
the, policy of ignoring advanced theories
such as that of future probation. The COM
mittee on nominations was appointed by
President Hopkins, and course will be very
conservative IN it' report, So far the old
men have had the lead and the frequent ap-
plausc that has been given to the pertinent
illusions TO their position shows that they
lave a majority of the visitors too. The new
departure men, led by, Professor Smyth. of
Andover, DIR. W. Ii. Ward, of the New York
Independent, and other progressive thinkers,
are feeling somewhat reStive tonight and ex-
pect to free their minds before long. A
spirited time is ANTICIPATED.

CIVIL SERVICE SPOILS.
How the Rascais Are Being Turned
In. in Indiana.


INDIANAPoIis Ind, Oct. Especial Tel
egram to the BEE. The Indiana Civil Ser
vice Reform association, which has had in
veStigations in progress for several months,
has made public report in relation to federal
appointments in this state. A vast mass of
facts is presented, showing the entire dsre-
gard of civil service principles in Indiana
appointments, The management of the In
dianapolis postoffice, by Aquila Jones, whose
appointment was secured by the late Vice
President Hendricks, is mentioned as a nota-
BILE instance. Jones is charged with having
grossly and deliberately violated the civil
service act and employing lot of party
workers with considerable contin-
gent of low ward politicians. q few
Innumerable instances of ineiiiciency of the
service are cited and supported by unqueS-
toned proof. In the postofices of the Sec
ond class in Indiana, all but one of the post
masters have been succeeded by democrats
times. or seventy-siX third class offices
siXty-eight are filled with democrats, and of
l,SO0 fourth class offices changes have been
made in over twelve hundred. In the inter
nal revenue Offices clean sweep has been
made. Eiftytwo cX-SOdierS were formerly
employed and there are now but four. In
speaking of the railway mail service the
charge is made, that mail, plainly directed,
travels hundreds of miles unnecessarily be-
cause the new clerks have not learned their
schedules or cannot read readily. 1t is shown
that plumber OF persons appointed to Offices
have been convicted of various crimes. Con-
gressmen are char ed with having chosen
OtliceholderS from the woist elements of their
party, and caused public business to be seri-
ously hampered. In SIX congressional dis
tricts federal ofllcehOlders have, without him
drance or reDuke, thwarted the will of the
people. The association finds that the pres
idents promise that civil service law should
be enforced has been completely evaded and
nulliied.

marily dealt with by the enraged citizens
of Cuba. Friday morning, Oct. l, mob

dragged him from the cell, and strung him
up for short time in order that confession
might be forced from him. He refused to
own up to the crime, and before the crowd
could hang him up again, the sheriff gained
possession of him and hurried him back to
cell. The crowd was prevailed upon to dis
perse, and 1t was supposed that the law
would be allowed to take its own course.
