JAY GoULD's DEATH

Mr.. Gould achieved his wealth nj
most entirely by speculation; he
was successful far beyond any other
Spectator that ever lived, and earned
the title OF the Wizard Of Wall street.
Others have amassed greater fortunes,
as Commodore Vanderbilt through his
combination OF small railroads into Il
mighty system, and Rockefeller through
petroleum, but no mar eve followed
out Mr.. Gould's policy with such amaz-
ing sults.-Phladaphia hqutrcr.
Jay Gould's extraordinary genius
must be acknowledged even by those
who condemn most strongly the uses
which it served. He was an excellent
husband and father. His death will
not influence the course Of financial az
fairs to any considerable extent, for he
practically withdrew from active par
ticipation in the campaigns in the stock
market several years ago.-Ncw York
Pres
Now that Jay Gould is dead, the re-
cord of his life will be carefully scru-
tinized to discover in what respect his
fellow-men are the better, or the better
oil, because he lived. He was always 4
secretive and self-contained man; and.
mayhap, did more good than the world
wots OF. Let us hope so.-Philaddphia
Record.
We say that the late Mr.. Gould can
not be entirely condemned Tor becom-
ing rich. Ii his fault needs expiation it
can be given by the balance in favor OF
the prosperity his railroad improve
ments created Columbus Dispatch.
The probability is that the market
will in the end benefit by the absence

THE SPREE
Tho Overdue Steamship Arr1yes-A Mar
row Escape.

QUEENSTOWN, Dec. 4-The overdue
steamship Spree arrived in port yester-
day in tow Of another vessel. A North
German Loyd's steamship will sail
from Bremen to-day to take of the
Spree's passengers aud convey them to
New York.
The Spree's main shaft broke down
| November 20. Part OF the machinery
went through her bottom under the
second cabin, which Immediately filled
with water. The passengers thought
the vessel ~ going to the bottom and
rushed on deck. For u time a panic
! prevailed, and the officers were helpless
to calm the people. The water could
| be heard rushing through the hole in
the bottom, and in a short time the
vessel began to settle. The passengers
ran hither and thither in the widest
| confusion, but when they saw the ves-
sci was not Immediately going to tho
bottom, the %counsels Of the officers and
| the more cool-headed among their own
nnibersprevailed.
As soon as the accident occurred the
boats crews were piped to their sta
tions and everything was placed in
readiness for the abandonment OF the
vessel, should such a course be deemed
necessary. The stewards busted them
selves in getting provisions TO the boats.
1t was shortly seen, however, that the
water-tight b%ulkheads were answering
their purpose.
The Spree was then about 1000 miles
from Queenstown. The Lake Huron
towed her the entire distance back.
The Spree leaked so badly that it was
impossible for the pumps to gain on
the water, which is still thirty feet
deep in the after compartment. The
Spree has on board 2S3 passengers,
among whom are General 0. o. How
ard, U. S. A., and Dwight L. Moody,
the evangelist. A second-ciass passen-
ger was so frightened that he leaped

Mayor and Police.

Pittsburg authorities are not quite
sure whether the mayor can compel
the chief of police to obey his orders in
carrying out the law.
"A few years ago when Wheeling had
a mayor who was determined to see
that the laws were faithfully executed
and a chief OF police whose determine
ton was in the opposite direction,
Wheeling saw a practical test of this
question. The chief of police won.
The mayor Of Wheeling could not COM
pei the chief of police to do his duty.
The laws relating to the like officers
in Pittsburg may be different. At all
events that city seems about to try the
question for itself. In every city the
MAYOR should be in fact the chief exec
utive, charged with the executive func-
tons and having power equal to his re-
sponsibility.
The lack of power in the m~ayorality
is one OF the main sources OF the mark.
ed weakness OF city government IN the
United States. 1t is one OF the reasons
why it is so difficult TO induce the right
kind OF men to accept a nomination for
this very important Office, which should
always be regarded as a distinguished
honor and which should be made SO
with decided emphasis.

WHEELING. DECEMnER 8, IS


As the world has not seen before, it
is not likely to see again, such a money
getter rs Jay Gould. So that no young
man need lay himself out deliberately
for a Jay Gould career, though such a
career were altogether admirable.
There were, however, in the boyhood
and early manhood OF this remarkable
man qualities which will bring to any
Young man who has healtha fair degree
Of success in the struggle OF life.
He was studious, getting out of books
what he could in the face OF considera-
BILE difficulties. He worked for his liv-
ing and made time to study. Too many
young fellows Of good mind wait to find
time to study and the time never turns
up.
He was the first one up in the morn
ing, started the fires and got in two or
three hours OF study before breakfast.
OF course he had not "taken in the
town with the boys" the night before,
or he could not have done this.
He did not use tobacco, drink or gam
Bile; and SO he kept his money, his
health and his character. He endeav-
ored to know thoroughly the things he
had to do with; which is very different
from being content with just pulling
through and escaping a "whitewash."
When he began to get ahead in the
world, though still young, he did not
waste his money or his strength in
carousing. He was never "a good fel-
low," but always a man OF business
steadily pursuing his object.
Jay Gould's aim might easily have
been higher, for the mere lust of money
is vulgar and dangerous; but the good
qualities which marked him as q lad
and as a young man arc qualities that
are always good and worthy Of emula-
ton.

William H. Vanderbilt inherited
from his iather, tho old commodore,
about sSo,OOO,OOO. Seven years ago he
died a. tho age of sixty-four, leaving an
estate valued at s2OO,OO0,OOo. Jay
Gould started without a cent, and died
at fltty.six, having gathered up proper
ty estimated at 500, 100000.
Tho task OF the second Vanderbilt
was the task now before Gould's sons,
to take care OF a we'll invested inherit
auce and sec it grow. Jay Gould's
task was to make something out OF
nothing. 1t may be well for the coun.
try that Gould did not have the second

The Cut Nail Ahead.

In an interesting series Of expert
ments under government supervision
the superiority of the cut nail over the
wire nail is once moro conclusively es-
tablished. Nails OF the same sizes were
driven into the same plank and the
pulling machine applied.
In every case the resistance of the cut
nail was greater than that Of the wire
nail. The difference in favor of the for
mer varied from one hundred to three
hundred pounds. One cut nail teld its
own until a pressure OF twelve hundred
pounds had been applied.
The wire nail has won its way be-
cause it is said to be nicer to handle
and easier to drivsthan the cut nail OF
the same size. But handling and driv-
ing are not the chief end OF a nail. The
nails business in life is to hold, and the
nail which does this most effectively is
the best nail.
The test is highly satisfactory to
Wheeling, which is thoroughly equipped
for making cut nails and understands
the business.
