Jay Gnuld,s Will

Jay Gould has made u notable depar-
lure from the methods of the Astors and
Vanderbilts in the making of his will
John Jacob Astor the first and old Com
modore Vanderbilt bequeathed the bulk
of their millions to their sons, leaving
the daughters with merely ample means
of living during their lives. 1t was the
theory of both that women should not
be allowed any part in the management
of great estates. The methods of these
two founders of the family fortunes have
been in the main followed by their de-
scendants.
But Jay Gould's will divides his es-
tates with exact evenness among his six
children, sons and daughters alike.
George Gould indeed gets $4,000, 900
more than the other children, but this
his father considered as his just wages
for devoting himself with single hearted
enthusiasm to the advancement of the
lGer Gould's fortunes for twelve years.
As an offset to this 5000, 900, how
ever, Miss Helen Gould, the eldest
daughter. gets outright the house on
Fifth avenue, with all its contents, and
The use until Frank Gould comes of age
If the country house at Irvington be-
Iides. She is also to receive $1,000 u
month more than the other children to
enable her to keep home for the Goulds
yet under age. And George and Helen
are jointly appointed guardians of the
minor children. In the making of his
will the greatest financier of modern
times dealt out exact justice to all his
children and showed besides singu-
larly fine perception of the whole situa-
tion
