JAY oouL D's SONS.

II may easily be that the son OF a
famous man in New York has bleak
time OF 1t, says the Sun Of that city.
He is apt TO be oyershadowed by his
fathers prominence. Jay Gould be-
lieves this.
Anybody who talks TO Mr.. Gould can
not but be impressed with his marked
philosophic temperament 1t has been
said that be loses his composure about
once in every six years. On these oc-
casions some Of his closest friends be-
lieve that he is imprudent even 70 reck-
lessness. The rest of the time he is a
keen and calm observer OF everything
and everybody around him. These
casual observations on some Of Mr..
Gould's characteristics, and they have
been spoken OF many times in Wall
street, will go along with the remark
OF on old campaigner in the street.
Either Jay Gould loves his sons
George and Edwin 10 the point Of indis-
efetiOn,n said he, 'tor he has weighed
them up Ia his keen way, and thinks
there's lots OF sand la them
/ The old campaigner meant that Mr..
Gould believed that his Sons had the
financial acumen TO justify him in push
ing them TO the front in the manage
ment OF great corporations and financial
enterprises with which his own name
is so prominently associated.
George Gould is now practically a
veteran. Pages have been written
about this young man of 80, who for a
number of years has been his fathers
right hand man in the management of
the Western Union. Missouri Pacific,
and other great corporations. George
Gould Is practically in command of the
Western Union building. His father
seldom visits the building. He has a
wire from il to his home on Fifth ave-
nue. and in Iryington, aud as his eldest
son is proficient FOUNDER OF the key
he Is in direct and confidential commu-
nication with his father. George
Gould receives all his fathers visitors,
and In other ways some OF the rays OF
his fathers prominence gid him.
2 So much has been heard recently OF
Edwin Gould that he can very proper
ly be considered factor in the Gould
fame. Very few speak Of him as Ed
win Gould. He Is Eddie Gould TO
nearly everybody, and in Wall street
he has inherited the title Of kid
Gould" which was bestowed on his
brother George when he was first heard
OF.
This young man is % years old. He
was born in the old home of the
Goulds in Union square. He has a
voice and a vote ia the management OF
$500, 10000 OF railroad, telegraph,
and cable capital. He is at the Wes-
tern Union building with his brother
George every day. He is director in
the Western Union Telegraph company
and It's cable companies and the Man
haitian Elevated, secretary and mem
Der OF the executive committee OF the
st. Louis. Arkansas e. Texas Railroad
company. president OF the coal COM
panies OF the Missouri Pacific railroad
company, and president OF the Pacific
railroad OF Nebraska. At directors
meetings his boyish face contrasts with
those OF such veterans as j. Pierpont
Morgan, Samuel Sloan, Russell Sage,
Sidney Dillon, and Cyrus w. Field.
He is more like his father than
George. He resembles him in voice
and ways George Gould can be
easily recognized by his olive skin an d
raven hair and mustache. Young
Eddie Gould's skin is even darker and
his HAIR and mustache blacker than
Georges. He has a diffident air and
speaks very slowly and in the low
tones which are so remarked with his
father. In manners he is very much be
yond his years. He acts like a young
old man. One would think in talking
with him that he never thought OF fur
or was interested in the amusements
OF young men. He occasionally
smiles. but il isn't the hearty expires
sion OF youthful iolity. In fact, ID
many ways he is an emiDently serious
young man.
But he is just the young man thai
: would interest some of our fair coun
try girls. He likes the theater ant
opera He has the same enthusiastic
zest for the theater that the average
city young man begins life at Is with
Young Gould would make fine beat
for the little country maidens wht

month and have a smothered regre
that there were any Sundays to keel
0 them at home.
