The United States Is at last in n condi-

with the recent Launching Of six new
vessels, 1t may be said that Uncle Sans
rcproach for deficiency in naval armament
is beginning to disappear.

MN w%ife-have been recently at
S9T tracing renewed attention
from the railroad accident in
which the two latter were caught IN the
south, the return of the head of the house
from his long sea trip in the yacht Alta
lanta, and the wordy war nov going on
between him, certain lawyers and the
owner Of The New York Herald regard
ing certain bonds.
Last fall Jay Gould started for a tour
abroad. He went to England; from there
to Paris, and from thence Il Marseilles.
There he met his yacht, the Ataianua,
which had crossed from New York. Mr..
Gould went abroad for recreation, but he
found it difficult to escape the m~ultitudes
who beset him to make investments. One
offer of a large jewel, which the owners
seemed to regard as of suitable size for
the adornment of the shirt bosom of the
millionaire, was described by Mr.. Gould
himself while at Marseilles.
''They say it is now worth 10000, 900
francs" said he, ''but as no European
sovereign can afford to buy it they can't
find a purchaser. They said to me that
though the diamond was technically worth
H. 00,0 900 francs they would sell it for
10000 600, and then since the French
crown diamonds have been sold by the
republic the new king or emperor will
have to buy this one, and you can put
your own price on il. ,
"And what did you sayf''
81 told them, " replied Mr.. Gould, laugh
ing, that / was not specializing on a new
French revolution, and / am not wearing
3d. 600 diamonds yet. A watch and
chain are all the jewelry l need so far"
George Gould's wife, Edith Kingdom,
the actress, is said to be a very sensible
woman, and she proved herself a very
energetic one before the necessity for
energy was removed. She pushed herself,
ali unaided, from a subordinate position
In the Boston Theatre company to a pleas
ant one in Mr.. Daly's. Friends had re-
peatedlY told the struggling girl that her
place was In New York, and she as often
had sent letters to Mr.. DAILY, receiving,
however, no reply. Finally Mr.. DAILY took
his company to Boston, and Miss Kingdom
played o strong card. She sent two tickets
TO the performance to Mr.. Daily in the
afternoon and In the evening sent a car
riage to his hotel lie went, saw the per-
Torrance, and the next day Miss Kingdom
received a note asking for an interview.

GEORGE GOULD. EDITH KINGDOM GOULD.
Her wedding with George Gould was
not attended with any display. Mr..
Gould, who seems to be as matter of fact
and practical as his father, spent the first
day OF his honeymoon at his desk In his
once in the Western Union building in
New York. II has been said that the
affection between the father and SON has
been noticed by men having business re-
lations with them ever since young Gould
first entered business. He seems TO In
herit his fathers disposition In keeping
aloof from the world In general. His
circle Of friends is small, but he is said to
be true to them, and Is well liked In q
business way. He relieves bis father
Of much Of the detail Of business. Most
of those who call upon his father are re-
ferred TO George, who either states what
he knows frankly or desires TO be excused
from stating anything. The wealth that
this young mar seems destined to inherit,
IL ft continues TO increase from natural
accumulation Of interest, must within
another decade or so make him the richest
man in the world. Then last August

The President dominates p. II.
Carney tor Postmaster at


Mankato.
The news of Hon. p. FL. Carney's APP
pointment as Postmaster of Mankato,
vice Jas. Cannon. resigned, was received
Tuesday morning and the newly appoint
ed official has been holding u sort of
levee with his friends since the news was
broken. That he has a goodly number
of admirers is evinced by the many con-
gratulations extended.
MI. Carney put in his application
about the first of March, after Mr.. Can
non had rendered his resignation, pend
ing the gross and unjust charges made
against him by j. &. Wise ct. al. through
that tool of the government, OLeary.
To the credit of Mr.. Carney, it is said,
he did not ask, solicit or intimate that 1t
would be his wish or desire that Mr..
Cannon's resignation be accepted. He
simply filed his application, well en-
dorsed, soliciting the position Of post
master should there be a change. He
has in this matter acted honorably
throughout and it will stand to his cred
it, whatever else may be brought against
him, if his action be correctly reported.
The newly appointed Postmaster was
born in County Fermaugh, ireland, in
1898. He emigrated to this country in
1S44-when six years,of age, and settled
in Buffalo, where he resided with his
parents until 1856. He removed from
there to Illinois, thence to Indiana and
finally drifted to Mankato in 1871, where
he has since resided. He served in the
city council for eight years and one year
held the honorable position OF Mayor OF
the city. Like most men, he has had
his ups and downs in life, and the only
real unpleasant thing that can be said of
him at this time is that he has always
been an uncompromislng Democrat
and that fact seems not to have initiated
against him at this time.
One word as to Mr.. Cannon. Since the
day he assumed official control of the
Mankato p~ostoffice he has worked hard
and earnestly for the public interest.
No man ever held the position that he
Is about to relinqulsh who labored hard
er to please the public and who took
complaints more to heart. 1t is a hard
place to hold, as the writer we'll knows,
and when Mr.. Cannon shall turn owe
the effects of the government TO his sue
cessor he will do so with the conscious
ness of having done his duty, and done
it we'll, and that he is displaced without
any reasonable cause
To the retiring Postmaster the FREE
PRESS extends congratulations for the
work well done; to the incoming official,
it wishes him we'll and hopes that he
may escape the criticism of a hasty, i'm
patient public. 1t is a thankless posi-
ton, save the salary.

NEW o YARDS.

Mr.. John Schweitzer, one of Mankato's
popular butchers, has just completed
some large stock-yards adjoining the
Minneapolis & ST. Louis road. Going 10
work quietly about it, he had the yards
finished before anyone realized that
such a project was OF foot. The yards
are made with all the modern improve
ments and are capable of holding 1000
head or stock. Large scales are placed
at the yards and anyone bringing stock
in a wagon can have them weighed and
then drive to the gates without unload
ing. Cattle, hogs and sheep are now
purchased at all times of the day and
the highest market prices of the dav are
paid. Mr.. Schweitzer has began to
make shipments and will no doubt do a
lively business. There is no reason why
this undertaking should not pay, as
Mankato is in the midst of a rich coun-
try in which stock raising is bound to be
one of the principal industries. AS there
are no other yards near the city, when
the farmers find out that they can get
the highest prices at any time in this
city they will not be backward about
coming here.
Several of the butchers are dong their
Strengthening at this yard and Mr..
SchweitZer has 80 arranged it that with
III fortv-eight hours he can be prepared
to have every butcher in the city use his
accommodations for this purpose. This
would be a long step forward over the
past arrangement of each for himself,
causing %nuisances in many places.
