have such ambitions, they never tried to
crafty them, for the doors open very
easily to golden keys and the Goulds
could have afforded a whole bunch of
such keys any time these many years.
For a score OF more of years this do
nestle couple made their winter home
in the house built by ex-MayOr Opdyke
at SO Fifth avenue, just across Forty
seventh street from the Windsor hotel.
This is a large and spacious house, being
what is called by real estate dealers a
house and half. 1t has never been
pretentiOus IN its outward appearance
and does not attract attention, as do
some of the finer mansions 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.. Gould, while taking trip to Eu-
rope, awaited himself Of the opportunity
to have it done over from top to bot
tom.
The family occupied the country seat
at lrvingtOn each summer from the be-
ginning of June till late in October.
For the trip to and fro Mr.. Gould used
his fast steam yacht the Atalanta.
The house at Irvington is large and
cOmmOdlOus and was evidently built
with every regard for summertime COM
fort and unpretending home life. The
glory of the place is the greenhouses, of
which there are seventeen. In these
there is a wonderful collection of rare
and beautiful plants. These may not
be the finest in the country, but they
are not far behind the best.
His eldest daughter, Miss Helen Mil
Ter 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 1861
He is dark like his father, but seems to
have more robust constitution and
livelier disposition. He has since 1888
been his fathers business associate and
most intimate friend. He married Miss
Edith Kingdom, of Days theater. She
has retired from the theater and is the
mother of two sons. George Gould is
as regular is his business habits as the
poorest clerk in the smallest bank in the

been no good excuse to drag its affairs
before the public sight. In stature Mr.
Gould was short, not more than five feet
five inches in height, and he was slight,
not weighing more than 1875 pounds. He
was a very dark man and there was
nothing whatever in his appearance tc
catch or detain attention. Mr.. Gould's
marriage was love match and the af.
fectionate relations lasted till Mrs Gould
died in 1883.
Neither Mr.. nor Mrs Gould appeared
ever to have any social aspirations
that is, aspirations to move and shine in
that society of rich people among whom
the Astors and Vanderbilts are ure-erni.

His fayorite method was to buy two

controlling interest; Manhattan Elevat-

The effect of Jay Goulds death was
anxiously awaited on Wall street Fri
day, 1t was the COnccnsus OF opinion
among brokers that there would be some
selling of those properties, but none
would admit that there was any fear OF
an extensive selling When the market
did open there was a large crowd in the
board room, and for a time there was
considerable offerings Of tho Gouldcrs.

There was very little excitement at the

and lrvington, where for many years he
had magnificent country seat. The
condition of business affairs did not per
NIT him to go far from the offices where
he directed the affairs of his immense
properties. PROFESSIONALLY, however
he did withdraw from any of that spec
ulatiOn which had sometimes occupied
him.
The firm of brokers, w. e. Conner &
Company, with which Mr.. Gould had
been associated as a special partner, and
to which his son George and his man OF
all work, Morosini, belonged as active
partners, was dissolved and Jay Gould
and his son retired. His offices were
now removed to more spacious quarters
in the Western Union building, and
since then, except when one of his vari-
Gus properties has been attacked, Wall
street has not known him as q specula-
tor. Since 1881 or 1882 Gould has found
enough to do to look after the vast
properties which by this time he had
acquired.
Whenever Mr.. Gould acquired con-
troll of property he always went &C
lively into its management. He did not
always take the presidency, but he al
ways dictated who should be the direC-
tors and which directors should consti-
tute the executive committee. These
committees in Mr.. GOuld's companies
have always been most important in the
administration of affairs, as they have
always had the full powers of any board
of directors, and they have usually been
composed of men very near to Mr..
Gould and men whom he could summon
together at a moments notice. By this
development he has made himself absO-
lutte master wherever he cared to be.
From 1892 to this time some of the
men most honored in financial and COM
mercial circles have sat in the boards of
directors of companies controlled by
Gould, and he has been in the direc-
tories of many of the richest and most
conservative financial institutions i'll
New York. In the employment of as
sistants he has worked ON one invaria-
bic principle. He has employed men
who We're skilled in that branch where
he needed the particular service each
was qualified to give. 1t has therefore
happened that he has kept about him to
a great extent the same men, both in
his railways and telegraph companies,
for many years and it is the general
impression that he has asked nothing
more than skill and fidelity from them
while rewarding each literally in pro-
portion as he thought was proper and
deserved.
Mr.. Jay Gould, from the time he mar
ried Helen Day Miller, more than thirty
years ago, until now, has tried sincerely
to keep his family affairs from public
observation. 1t is true that his family
has always been quiet, unobtrusive and

The weather was delightful and
nothing happened to retard the NOV
ing of the procession. G. A. Tyrrell
Marshall of the day started the col
umn promptly at 10 o'clock as ad-
vertised, and it returned i'll good or
der about noon. 1t was altogether
one of the best ARRANGED parades ev>
er seen on such an occasion. An
interesting feature was the boys of
the Orphans Home who appeared in
uniform under captain and drum
corps. They kept excellent step going
and coming from the cemetery.
The Governor and staff, federal
and county officers, militia, band,
citizens, etc, made up a good long
line and drew crowds of spectators
on both sides of Main street.
