GOULD MAKING MILLIONS.

Jay Gould is very naturally the most
marked man in Wall street these days, and
everybody is wondering how many millions
OF dollars he is going to make out Of the
semi-panic. I saw i'm OF lower Broadway
yesterday, thin-faced, weazened-up little
fellow, wearing a suit of clothes that Ger
tainly did not c0st-ov r $25, shutting along
in the crowd with his hat pulled lwn over
his eyes, the least contented locking person
on the street And yet men who know him
say he is happy. His health never was
better. a while ago he was troubled with
insomnia, but that has entirely disappeared,
and he now sleeps like a plowboy.
He often walks from his Office to
his home on Fifth avenue, and frequently
is seen at the theater or the ope a with some
member OF his family. How much money
Gould is worth no maa can tell, How much
he viii make out Of Wall street within the
next six weeks is still more difficult prob
lem. | have heard the figures placed from
81, 100000 to $4,000, 900, and l should not
be surprised if the latter sum were nearer
correct than the hrst. All che world knows
that Gould has plenty of ready money on
hand, and during the past few weeks any
man with ready money in Wall street could
double it ten t.mea over. Gould has been
very busy doing that identical thing.

There are times when she seems TO be

times she does not even recognize her near

HOW IT FEELS TO BE MILLIONAIRE.

I have yet to find the man who doesn't
wish to be rich, but l have always been
curious to know how it feels to be mil
lionaire. The opportunity of getting an
answer 10 this question presented itself to
me yeste day, and the man TO whom ad-
dressed the question was none other than
George NJ. Pullman, who is worth So, 000,-
600 at least. who has made fortunes for
others and who has no one to thank for his
success but himself. Mr.. Pullman looked at
me very curiouslY as I ked him the
question. and then replied. in a
SOW way: II have never thought of
that. But now that you mention it, 1
believe that | am no better off-certai ly
no happier--that was when l didn't have

a comfortable feeling to be rich" And
with that he buttoned up his frock coat
around his snug form, slowly walked down

into q coupe, and was driven Off In his
younger days he would have walked, and
would have been better for it.
