jaw Gould Said to be In Very Feeble
Condition.

Condition.
New YORK, September 9.-The Re
corder to-day publishes the following:
Jay Gould was in Wall street, yester-
day, for the first time since his return
from his Western trip. His appearance
was startling. He looked haggard, he
was deathly pale, and his eyes were
sunken. His hands were tremulous and
his voice was quiVering. "An over
worked man" was the comment of those
who saw him. When he stepped from
his private car Saturday he was con-
graduated on his improved looks. Three
DAYS had wrought a marvellous change
in him.
Five years ago last January Mr..
Gould gave up business on account OF
his health. His affairs were taken In
hand by his son, George ]. Gould, and
conducted with ability. The panic of
last November and the succeeding
events drew Mr.. Gould back into the fin
ancial maelstrom. His physical powers
were done, however, and the trip to the
West followed. From his looks 1t does
not seem too much to say that he must
give up business cares entirely. His
affairs will be put in the hands OF his
sons, George j. and Edwin, both men
grown. Mr.. Gould appreciates the I'M
portance Of his health. He keeps with
him constantly DR.. John P. Mum, a
physician of high reputation.
