citation Of the methods OF certain men in
the order and general denial of the
charges made hy Secretary Treasurer

HARRY WOODRUFF SAYS so TOO.
The Golden Haired Young Actor aud the
Minionaire's Daughter Are Very Good
Friends, However, and woodruff Is to
Leave the Sage to Study Law.

NEW YORK. Nov. 1s.-A story, now posi-
lively denied on both sides. has been cur
rent for some time 20 the effect that Miss
Helen NJ. Gould, the eldest daughter of the
late Jay Gould, is engaged to be married to
Mr.. Harry Woodruff a young actor now
engaged with the "Charley's Aunt" COM
pany at the Standard theater. The story
has been the talk of actors and their
friends, who were presumably all the
friends Of Mr.. Woodruff
Particular impetus has been given to it
lately by the announcement made by
friends Of Mr.. Woodruff that he cOntem-
plated leaving the profession to take two
years course at Yale Law school Many
of the persons who have repeated the story
believed that they spoke with a degree of
authority.
An actor of national fame who has been
associated with Mr. Woodruff in profes-
sional way and has acted as his adviser
and friend says he learned all about the
Gould-Woodruff affair before Jay Gould's
death. IL discussing the matter he said;

them. A desperate battle followed An

Evening journal., 1893-11-18

"Mr. Woodruff heard of Mr. Gould's ef-
forts and wrote a manly letter to the finan-
cier, stating that under no conditions
would he attempt to win the daughter from
her home without her fathers consent
Mr. Gould did not reply to the letter, al
though he did not succeed in inducing his
daughter to break off the acquaintance
"The aid of superintendent Byrnes had
been sought after by Mr. Gould to prevent
Woodruff from continuing his acquaint-
ance with Miss Helen. Byrnes went TO
Woodruff and told him in effect that he
had better give up all communication with
the young lady. Woodruff told Byrnes to
mind his own business, and Byrnes hedged.
] never heard that other members of the
Gould family opposed the friendship be
tween the young people. They exchanged
letters, and / knew long ago that some
thing more than friendship existed be-
tween Miss Gould and Mr. Woodruff
Concerning Mr.. Woodruff, I may say
that he is not only one of the most promis-
ing young actors on our stage today, but
fine, manly fellow, worthy OF the love Of
any good woman"
Family Opposed It.
Others who have told the story of the al
legged engagement with considerable par
ticularity have asserted that Mr. Woodruff
and Miss Gould have been acquainted for
a number of years, and that there has been
until very recently a most determined op-
position to anything in the nature of an
engagement by the family of the young
woman. They have said further that very
recently an understanding was reached
with Mr.. Woodruff, and that by il, after
two years on probation, if matters were
then satisfactory, the objections would be
waived
The two years probation was to be spent
in Yale completing an education and learn
ing "a profession other than that Of the
stage 1t has been said that $4,000 was TO
be given to Mr. Woodruff to pay his ex-
penses in college.
All these stories elected emphatic denials
yesterday from Mr.. Edwin Gould and Mr..
Howard Gould, two of the brothers of
Miss Helen and coeXecutors with her OF
her fathers will.
Mr.. Woodruff said himself; "There is
not a word of truth in the story that Miss
Gould and 1 are engaged. Il is not true in
whole or in any part.
Mr. Woodruff made arrangements yester.
day with Mr.. Charles Frohman TO sever
his connection with the "Charley's Aunt
company.
Harry Woodruff has beautiful head OF
blond curls and a pink and white com
/ pleXion, and moreover he is an entertain
