was he removed from the board
of directors by his father as
his foes had fondly prophes led.
the otLer day about George having
''coppered his father" Mr.. Claws said:
"Oh, no, guess that story must have
been about Eddie" Col Hahn, who is
not exactly in the street, but near it, in
creased his resemblance to ex-senator
Plat when in a diplomatic frame of
mind, and Russell Sage said he would
be at his Office tomorrow"
When the Goulds came back from
Florida that spring they found thea
selves engaged in war. which, if not
the fiercest, was the noisiest of the dy-
nasty's existence. 1t was that over the
''Gould-Sage trust" in Kansas Pacific
bonds. The attack, according to the
senior Gould, in famous phrase, had
"a newspaper. cable company and
a woman" behind it. The proprietor
of the newspaper in question
Mr.. Gould leveled another newspaper
at him the sound and the stencil of the
explosions which followed were such as
to make glove feast of the present little
unpleaSantneSS between Superintend-
ent Parkhurst and the Rev. DR.. Byrnes.
George Gould meantime made Wordy
war Oh George Crouch and E. L.. An
drews, who claimed to represent the
dissident bondholders and charges the
young man with offering them $4,000
bride to drop the prosecution.
He was singularly indicated in TINS
matter, for Judge Cowing threw the
prosecution out of the very vestibule OF
court, not allowing it to go to the grand
1nr of
term of court followed Judge Cowing'S
example. The improbability of an offer
of $50, 900 to stop prosecution, which
could get no further than the grand Jury
rooms door, thereby gave stout back
ing to Prince Georges denial.
There is man who is bigger man
In Amsterdam, whence he came, and
whittier he returned last spring, than he
is in New Amsterdam, where he did not
tarry long. In fact, among the money
changers of the latter place some have
quite forgotten how to spell his name,
which is a difficult one, Boissevain,
A dolphe his first name.
Armed with the shears of foreign
stockholders privileges. he came to the
last annual meeting of the Union Pacific
to shear the Gould lamb, which he
thought was caught in the thicket. de
went home shOrn.
OF all the services of "my son
George" reimbursed by that S5,0OO.O 900,
this was probably the most signal. 1t
was said at the time that Jay Gould was
away when it became known that
the Hollander was gathering up
proxies and that George telegraphed
him to point in New Mexico, which
was his stated news headquarters for
the time being, but got no answer. The
telegram contained the news that the
Hollander was trying to defeat the
Gould pres ldent, S. H. II. Clark, and
set up his own man in his place.
Certain it is that on the morning be-
fore the annual meeting last April, in
Boston, George Gould told friend in
this city that he was beaten; that Bols-
Sevain had got proxies enough to con-
troll the election.
Nevertheless he was going to work,
he said, to get some of the proxies back.
That night special train rushed OF
to Boston with George Gould as its pas
Senger.
When the meeting came next day the
HOllander-WOndering at the ease with
which he had yanquished the giant OF
the Yankee bOurse and concluding that
these American financers were rather
raw lot, considering that they had
got their first lesson when Ben Frank
lin went a borrowing to Rotterdam
produced his majority by proxy.
If the canals of the Low Countries
freeze this winter it will not be for want
of caloric supplied by M. BoiSsevain'S
feelings toward the house of Wormser
For when he had laid down his hand
and called George Gould's he found that
in the latter was countermand OF the
proxies which the house of Wormser
had given first to the representative OF
the foreign stockholders.
So S. ii. Ii. Clark remained president
of the Union Pacific, and in that ca
pacity was present at the ObSequies of
the old and the coronation of the new
king of the dynasty which he serves.
Prince George performed similar
service once when representative of
other foreign stockholders thought to
shear the Gould lamb when apparently
caught in thicket of Wabash.
These instances seem to show that
the new king can make as bold coup
perhaps as the old, but that hitherto he
has only exerted this ability when on
the defensive.
AS basis for this ability he has a
physique such as his father never pos
sessed. He is sturdy, almost tiick-set,
being htty-nlne inches nigh ana weigh
ing 165 pounds. His freedom from
bodily ills gives him his fathers quick
ness OF manner without his nervous
ness. He was born in tine heart of New
York, at Seventeenth street and Union
square; educated in New York, at DR..
CromWePs school in Forty-secOnd
street, and, as everybody knows, mar
ried in New York. Like his father, he
is of plain and domestic tastes an eX-
cellent ''family man."
The name of the founder of the dy-
nasty is perpetuated in that of son of
the present ruler, which suggests the
tangle that the Heralds of 500 years
from now will be in over the Jays and
Jay Goulds. There seem to be no great
danger of confusion now. Then when
the fact that Jay Gould was once Jason
can only be deciphered from the mat
rices of obituary pages in the silurian
strata of ruined newspaper offices there
will be danger, serious danger.
