In itself, was caused by mere NOM
inal change in values, Missouri Pa

was another small improvement in
March, which sent the fortune up

May was bad month for the
wealth. Missouri Pacific went
down to PAN, Manhattan dropped to
lib, and Western Union sagged away
to S1A. This was total jump of
1919 points, and the fortune fell
away $3,750,000. Did George Gould
worry much in that month? It is
! not likely, because at that very
time he bought the famous sloop

There was a very slight improve

July and August the fluctuations
! were so slight that the big fortune
only moved $3.50, 600 each way. These
are the dull summer months, when

exceedingly light, and when every

competition by the proposed under

while Missouri Pacific lost nothing

beginning of the year.
AT the present time the fortune is
about s63,500,OO0. This is, Of course,
based upon the original wealth. The
principal has largely increased by the
accumulation of unspent income. The
aggregate of the Gould income is
about s3,500,000 a year, and It Is
doubtful If all the brothers and sis

This leaves three millions to be added

ELDER STEWARDS LOT.
Wants 1t for n Church Site, and
Kicks on Having 1t Trimmed.

V"hss II ior IL ChUrch Site, and
Kicks on Having 1t Trimmed.
Elder Stewart and Albert II. Hall.
his attorney, appeared yesterday after
noon before the council committee on
roads and bridges to protest against
the opening Of Aldrich avenue, be-
tween Lincoln avenue and Hennepin
avenue boulevard, which has been pc
titioned for by number of residents
along Aldrich avenue. Aldrich and
Hennepin form an acute angle at this
point, and it was shown that opening
the street would leave only small
triangular section of the corner lot,
which would be practically worthless.
Elder Stewart said the damage would
be $4,000. and if the property owners
on Aldrich wanted to put up that
amount he would sacrifice the lot,
though he hated to do it, for his wife
had decided it to the Home Baptist
church, Of which the elder is a con-
sistent member.
The committee tried to prevail on the
elder to make better terms, or to con-
sent to rounding off the sharp corner,
bug he and his attorney both strenu-
ously objected. 1t would spoil the lot
for a business site. Chairman Loye
told the eX-special' assistant county at
torney that his hair would be much
redder than it Is now before they had
business houses on that section of
Henncpin, but he was still obdurate,
the prayer Of the petitioners be not
granted.

New Discovery in the San Fran
cisco Murder Case.
SAN FRANCISCO. April PA new
discovery in the Durant case has been
made. When the body of Minnie
Williams was found in Emanuel church
in searching for traces of the murder
the police and reporters found a dark
stain on the door of Rev. DR.. Gibson's
private study, to which he only, so
far as known, had key. The police
decided the stain was merely varnish
and paid no further attention to it..
Today, however, an Examiner report
err shaved off portion of the supposed
varnish stain. and a microscopic ex-
animation showed 1t was blood in
stead of varnish. The mark on the
door looked as if it had been caused
by flirting a wet cloth against it, and
was about sixteen inches from the
floor. The supposition is that the
murderer in going into the study or
attempting to enter it brushed his
bloody clothes against the door and
left the stain

1t will be noticed that there is a

Ebetween the time of the death of Jay
pGduld and the end of January of
1884. More than a year elapsed be-
tween these periods, and the finan-
cial depression was in full swing at
the latter time. Many people thought
years ago that when Jay Gould
would die there would be a fearful
collapse of Gould properties. This
belief was proven fallacious by the
course of the stocks Immediately
after his death. They doomed con-
slderably, and estimates made in
February of 1898, two months after
he died, showed that the Gould for
tune had increased to more than $780,

RUSSIA'S MENACES
CAUSE MUCH APPREHENSION IN
DIPLOMATIC CIRCLES.
WHY ENGLAND HOLDS ALOOF
She Is Not Anxious to Sec Her
Rivals Secure Possessions
in Orient.

WASHINGTON, April 24.-The
Japanese officials here are disposed
to treat lightly the reports from Eu-
ropean capitals as to the troubles
over the China-Japan settlement.
Minister Kurino is satisfied all will
be amicably arranged if, as he jocu-
larly expressed it, "a temporary ar
mistice of the European press reports
can be arranged"
In other official quarters, however,
there is considerable apprehension at
the menacing attitude of Russia, Ger
many and France. The report that
Russia had instructed her ambassa-
dor at Pekin to demand a cession of
territory for harbor on the Pacific
confirms the view that Washington
diplomats have long held, that Rus
STA would obtain Port Lazareff be-
fore the negotiations ended. The fail
ure of England to join in the menac-
ing action of other European powers
is explained by officials on the ground
that England already has her Asiatic
possessions and Pacific naval stations,
so that she is anxious to maintain the
status quo, while the latter powers
are anxious to secure similar terri
tory and naval advantages.
BERLIN, April PA dispatch re-
ceived here from Toxic today says
that the ENJOYS of Russia, Germany
and France have formally protested
to the Japanese minister of foreign
affairs at the incorporation by the
terms of the treaty, of peace between
China and Japan of any of the Chi
nese mainland in the Japanese en-
pire.
BRITAIN is INCREDULoUS.
LONDON, April %. = The Times,
commenting upon the dispatch re-
ceived in Berlin from Toxic stating
that Russia, Germany and France
have formally protested to Japan
against the Incorporation of any of
the Chinese mainland into the Japan
csc empire, says that the dispatch
will arouse considerable interest in
Great Britain, but, perhaps, the pre-
dominant feeling that it will create
will be one of wonder, not unmingled
with amusement. If the protest is
genuine, and the powers are prepared
to support their words by action, Rus
sia must be congratulated upon sig
nal diplomatic triumph but the small
interest that Germany and France
have in the question makes it appear a
game of bluff, which Japan will pos
sibly see through. Her wisest course
will probably be to yield, as the conse-
quences of mistake might prove ex-
ceedingly grave.
The Times Berlin dispatch says that
the st. Petersburg correspondent OF
the Frankfort Zeitung declares that il
| is firmly believed in the Russian cap
ital that Japan has made considerable
secret concessions to Great Britain.

could never stand the strain of ter
rifle changes in wealth of that kind,
even if their bank accounts could.
But there is one man who stands
1t, and he stands it well. He doesn't
lose wink of sleep if he happens
to be three or four millions poorer
when he goes to bed than he was in
the morning. In fact, 1t is doubtful
II he ever thinks about it; at any
rate, he doesn't worry over the thing.
Neither is he elated if he is half a
dozen millions richer at the end of
the week than he was in the Begin
ming. He was bred and reared in
a moneyed atmosphere which con-
tinually changed for better or worse.
A majority of the people would
imagine this state of mind an ideal
one, but it's question whether the
owner of the mind so regards it. +,
The man in view is George Gould.
He is the real manager of the Gould
family wealth. While his brothers
and sisters are coexecutors of the
estate, they have little to say about
it's management. They have all
agreed to allow George to use his
judgment in the matter, and al
though 1t is nominally divided into
six different parts, 1T is practically
one power, and can be used if neces-
sary like it was in the days of Jay
Gould to crush any rival. The Gould
brothers and sisters appreciate the
truth of the old maxim, I'm union
there is strength" and they abide
by it absolutely.
AN INTERESTING CHART.
The chart shows clearly the ups
and downs of the family wealth for
the year 1894. When Jay Gould died
the official statement of his wealthas
submitted to the municipal authori-
ties for the collection of the local tax
was $72, 900, 600. About $4,000, 900 of this
was invested in real estate Thir-
teen millions were and are invested
in the Union Pacific railroad, the
International and Great Northern
railroad, the Texts & Pacific rail-
lOdo, Tic Ol. LOUIS N Iron mountain
railroad and the Wabash road. BY
far the greater portion of the wealth
is invested in three railroads-the
Manhattan Elevated system, Mis-
souri, Pacific and the Western Union
Telegraph company.
AT the time of Jay Gould's death
it was computed that his investments
in these properties were as follows:
S2O.0OO,000 in Western Union
dl o.. ST. 0O0. 600
$50, 100000 in Manhattan l. at
iHo. ............... % 600 600
s2O.0OO.000 in Missouri Pacific
ae '.'....-............... n,OOO, 600
This makes a total for the three
roads of $59,60O,O00 which, with the
S13,O0O,00 in the other systems men
toned and the 100000 in real es-
tate, makes a complete total of ST.
100000, which approximately shows
how the vast fortune is placed.
The fluctuations as shown in the
chart are based upon the prices of
the three main stocks in which the
Gould family's wealth is invested.
