The Suit Against GEORGE could.

There is a whole sermon on the disad-
yantages Of wealth. and another on the
wickedness of the world, in the suit
brought by a young woman against
George Gould, in New York, the other
day,
Mr.. Gould is young, handsome, few
years married and very rich. He is one
of the richest and most widely known
young men in the country In a measure
the notoriety as well as the wealth ac-
quired by his father during the long years
of his money-making life was transferred
to George Gould when he became Jay
Gould's principal heir. One effect of his
riches and his notoriety is to make him a
prominent target at which cranks and
blackmailers may aim. And they have.
apparently, determined to practice upon
him as much as they can. Within a
year Mr. Gould has been obliged
several times to call upon the police to
relieve him of the presence of cranks.
who We're after his money, and now he is
called upon to- defend himself at law
against a criminal accusation by a wo
man, who is also after his money. The
young man is forced to have detective
guard for himself and family, and must
constantly watch the courts, and every
other avenue of attack, in order to retain
his wealth. There is probably little
peace of mind for him, night or day; he
is forever watching to see where the next
attack will come from. And it's all be-
cause of his money.
The woman in the case is, according to
the reputation she bears in Chicago and
Joliet, Ill, a beautiful artful adven-
turess. Though but IS years old she
has been married has deserted her hus-
band for another man, has been
high roller In vice, has spent a fortune or
two, and is seeking another. She is am
bilious to get hold of money and to live
high. She is also ambitious to 90 upon
the stage, but that ambition is probably
secondary to the first; she would use the
stage as means to the acquiring of
money with which to defray the expenses
of life to her liking. The suit against
Mr. Gould is probably as much an adver-
tising scheme as anything else, through
which the embryo actress-who has been
taking lessons for the stage-hopes to at
tract public attention. 1t has, unfortu-
nately for the stage, become quite com
mon for women who hope to figure as.
actresses to have themselves advertised
as principals in scandals. The worse the
scandal the better the advertisement, is
the way some of them look at it. And
this young woman may be one of that
class. AT any rate, there is alleged to be
a very scandalous story in connections
with the young woman's life, out of which
she hopes to make money.

The retiring board of the army has re-
ported recommending the retirement of
Capt. Edmund Zalinski, the inventor of
the pneumatic dynamite gun, on account
of physical disability. Two years ago
Capt. Zalinski suffered a stroke of paraly-
sis which left him practically helpless.
He remained, however, in charge of a bat
terry of artillery at San Francisco until
about six weeks ago, when Gen. Ruger
granted him a limited leave of absence.
and he went to New York The Brazil
ian government was about that time MAX
ing arrangements to mount a pneumatic
gun on transformed merchant vessel
and send it southwark to fight Admiral
Mello. Capt. Zalinski gave some instruc-,
ton as to the mounting and operation of
the gun, and when the Nictheroy was
about ready to sail he applied to the Sec
rotary of War for permission to sail in
her. 1t was refused. Previous to this
by the way, the war department. had or
dered him before the retiring board for
examination, the result of which has been
stated. 1t is probable, now that the CAP
tain has been released from active duty.
he will go to Brazil. The Brazilian gov
eminent offered him SIS, 900 per month to
instruct the crew of the Nictheroy in the
use of the pneumatic gun.

others have been original from the freedom

and gave his entire attention to some public

day is remarkable for possessing neither

to the commonplace form. The President

almost incidental reference TO the issues that
