A SNUG INcoME.-The earnings OF
the entire Gould fortune will amount
during this year, according to the best
estimates, to s2,SOO,0OO, The average
income of the adult male citizens of the
United States is given by the last cen
sus at $3.50 year each. The Gould
income of S2,S00,000 is little more
than equal to 1890 Of these average in
come of $3.50 each. Figures prove that
the average family consists of five per-
sons, which must, of course, be sup
ported by the average income of $3.50 a
year. Therefore the Gould income
would support, absolutely without Ia
Dor, q city of 81 500 people.
