acquired.
Mr.. Jay Gould. from the time he mar.
ried Helen Day Miller, more than thirty
years ago, until now.s has tried sincerely
to keep his family affairs from public oh.
servatson. 1t Is true that his family has
always been quiet, unobtrusive and home
loving, and therefore there has been no
good excuse to drag it's affairs before the
public sight. In stature Mr.. Gould was
short, not more than feet 5 inches in
height, and he was slight, not weighing
more than 125 pounds. He was a very
dark man, and there was nothing what
ever in his appearance to catch or detain
attention. Mr.. Gould's marriage was a
love match and the affectionate relations
lasted till Mrs. Gould died in 1883.
Neither Mr.. and Mrs. Gould appeared
ever to have had any social aspirations
that is, aspirations to move and shine in
that society of rich people among whom
the Astors and Vanderbilts are pre-emi-
nent. 1t seems certain that If they did
have such ambitions they never tried to
crafty them, for the doors open very
easily to golden keys and the Goulds
could have afforded whole bunch of such
keys any time these many years. .:
For score or more of years this domes-
tic couple made their winter home in the
house built by ex-Mayor Opdyke at 579
Fifth avenue, just across Forty
street from the Windsor hotel. This is a
large and spacious house, being what is
called by real estate dealers house and q
half. 1t has never been prete ntious in its
outward appearance and does not attract

sions built In that marvellous street of
palaces during the last decade. And it
was very plain In the interior until few
years ago, when Mr., Gou,d, while takiug
trip to Europe, availed himself of the
opportunity to have 1t done over from top
to bottom.
The family occupied the country ssat at
Irvington each summer from the begin
ming Of June till late In October. For the
trip to and fro Mr.. Gould used his fast
steam yacht the Atalanta.
The house st Irvington is large and
commodious, and was evidently built with
every regard for summertime comfort and
unpretending home life. The glory of the
place is the greenhouses. of which there
are seventeen. In these there Ia wonder
ful collection of rare and beautiful plants
These may not be the finest In the coun-
try, but they are not far behind the best.
His eldest daughter, Miss Helen Miller
Gould, has had charge of the house since
the death of her mother.
The eldest son, George j. Gould, has
been very well known in New York for
several years. He was born about 1851
He ia dark like his father, but seems to
have q more robust constitution and A
liyelier disposition. He has since 1883 been
his fathers business associate and most
intimate friend. He married Miss Edith

lana ana washington was exacriy on the
hEes which he has pursued proftably for
many years. His next essay In railroad
ing, however, was ou a larger scale, and
1t attracted TO him the widest possible
public attention. Ever since then he has
been one Of the most notable actors In
American affairs.
Il was In the capture and administers
tion of the affairs o; the Erie Railway
company that we first see him in company
with the picturesque Jim Fisk and Daniel
Drew. 1t was in this affair that he fed to
Jersey City with a printing press and rem
dered old Commodore Vanderbilt impo-
tent, for all his millions. 1t was as an
ofiicer OF this company that he partici-
pated in the speculations in
gold which preclpitated the great
financial crisis known as @Black
Friday When Commodore vanderbilt
tried 10 get control of the stock OF the
company Fisk, Gould and Daniel Drew
the famous Erie notwithstanding or.
dered more stock and bonds to be printed,
and the supply was simply inexhaustible.
His favorite method was to buy two or
three unIrofitable properties at very low
prices, uaite them into one larger COM
pany. and upon the consolidated property
issue bonds and stock and o5er 1t to the
public. Mr.. Gould started a company
which began paralleliing the lines be-
tween the large cities of the Western
Union and cutting rates. The profits OF
the big company were seriously impaired
and the stock declined In the market.
Suddenly 1t was announced that Gould
had acquired q controlling interest In
the Western Union. The two companies
were consolidated and Gould has retained
control His favorite properties are the
Western Union and Missouri Pacific.
His fortune is esti mated at anywhere
from one TO two hundred millions of dol
lars.

Co., with which Mr.. Gould had been asso-
cialed as special partner, and to which
his son George and his man of all work.
Morosini, belonged as active partners, was
