Mr.. Gould is a small man. /

Mr.. Gould is a small man. He
looks like man SO years old, has
full.face whiskers, dark red as to
color, with few scarcely percepti-
BILE gray hairs. He jumped from
the high steps of the car to the
ground, and assisted his daughters
to do the same, then walked quite
briskly to the carriage awaiting
him, where he shook hands with
the reporter and assisted the young
ladies to their seats. He then got
in himself. In all these movements
he evinced no nervousness or dis
comfort whatever, and, as matter
of fact, he seems to be enjoying
perfect health. = He is per-
fectly delighted with their stay and
says so unreservedly. At the Hal
ley Springs, yesterday, for instance,
Jay Gould told Fulton Haight, the
manager, that this was the best
place he had ever struck, and that
he would like to stay here.-Wood
River Times.
1t is to be hoped that, if nothing
better comes of it, Jay Gould's visit
to Wood river will at least bring
the country into no:oriety, as being
worthy the attention of the great
financial magnate as a fitting place
to recuperate his exhausted ener-
gies. There are few places on this
continent that could keep Mr..
Gould away from the busy marts
of life as long as he has stayed on
Wood river. The bracing atmos-
phere, beautiful landscape, pure
cold, laughing waters, alive with
finny speckled inhabitants, and
the mountain canyons teeming
with feathered life, all combine to
make this region an attractive re-
sort for health or pleasure seekers.
Even if Mr.. Gould should not con-
clude to make investments, his
visit will give the country a pres
tige and prominence that will be
great benefit in years to come
Bellevue Herald.
Personally, Mr.. Gould is an in
teresting study. Small of stature,
urbane of manner, courteous and
affable of speech, a small, pale face,
emaciated by sickness and covered
with gray beard that once was
black; a lack lustre eye of the same
dark hue, hands dirninuative and
soft as child's, he looks anything
but the terror he is to the gamblers
Of Wall street. And in very truth
he is not-can not be-a great
man, except in his peculiar and
eminently successful financiering
speciality. Some gift, some occult
intellectual quality not possessed
by other men nor understood by
them, enables Mr.. Gould to reign
King Wolf over the banded wolves
that infest the Safeguarding dens
of New York, while in other mat
ters he is an ordinary man. He is
Jay Gould, in short, simply because
a vicious and barbarous system
which civilized men should long
ago have displaced has made him
possible; and he is vastly wealthy
because his special talent has en-.
abled him to successfully exploit
the exploiters of that most damna.
bic system, and not because he is
any worse than other men.-Ketch.
