GOOD DAYS WORK OF A CAPITALIST.
He is a Very Busy Man, and HIS re-
less Energy Accomplishes Worid
of Business.

George Gould is a surprise to nearly
every one. In the first place, he Is 80
young, just having turned 30. When
he was 81 his father, Jay Gould, mace
him president of couple OF railroads.
a director in several others and stock
holder in more than dozen. we
have heard so much of him for SO long
a time that we have grown used to
thinking of him as 38 or 40. In the
second place, he is very short, not
more than feet A, and, in the third
and last place, he is as jolly and
looking young fellow as you
would find in New York. His millions
do not Cypress him and he seems on all
occasions to find life very worth the liv-
ing. He has bright, black eyes. small,
dark mustache, faultless teeth and
well.knit figure. He dresses very
quietly but in excellent taste and ne
seems all the year round to be ON very
good terms with himself and with
every one else.
Mr.. Gould has brownstone palace
on Fifth avenue and Sixty-third street,
which has not been occupied since it
was purchased three years ago. Dur
inc the winter months the family, in
Guiding Mrs. Gould's mother and the
four little Gould children. live in
handsome cottage christened Hilltop at
Lakewood, N. j. In the summer they
70 to Furlough lodge, Mr.. Gould's ex-
tensive place in the Adirondacks, or
spend the summer abroad, as they did
last year, when Mr.. Gould went over
to race his yacht Vigilant against the
Britannia.
Mr.. Gould is really the manager OF
the immense estate of $50, 900, 900 left
by his father, although Edwin and
Howard Gould, the two younger BROTH
ars, are consulted and fully advised
concerning every detail Of their varied
interests. George is really the execu-
tive.
He has $15, 900. 900 of his own and
is constantly growing richer, for all OF
jaw Gould's stocks have increased in
value since his death. How this young
man, who has $3.50, 900 per year to
spend upon his family. gets through
single day will prove to everyone that
the millionaire's life is not an INDECENT,
easy one by any means. Mr.. Gould
rises at Z. He has no valet, but by 8
o'clock he has had his tub and is ar
rayed in his business suit, ON his way
down stairs into the very pleasant,
cheerful breakfast There he
finds his eldest son, sturdy, rosy little
chap of 7, who bears his mothers ma
ternal name-Kingdon. The second
son is Jay, aged 6, who was the espe-
cial pride of his Grandfather Gould,
who left him an extra 500, 900 in his
will on account of his name. Then
comes winsome, dainty Marjorie
Gynne, who is a demure little maiden
lust turned A. Mr.. Gould named this
little one, and he chose the quaint, old
fashioned name because when he first
met his wife and wooed and won her,
she was playing the part of Marjorie
Gynne." The little 2-year-old baby.
who is just beginning to talk, and
who is as yet little unsteady upon
her tiny feet, is Helen Virginia, the
goddaughter and the especial pet of the
dearly-loved auntie, Miss Helen Gould.
Mr.. Gould is devoted to his children,
and he pays the same attention to the
little lads talk about the kindergarten
and the new pony which came at
Christmas. as he will give to the tinan-
ciers of the great city later in the day.
Marjorie and Helen come in for their
full share of attention, and there is no
chance for glance at paper before it
is time to get ready for the train.s
Rain or shine, Mrs. Gould always
drives her husband to the station. She
is an excellent whip and manages the
spirited ponies, which are exclusively
for her own use, with great skill. She
decides then what train she will take
into the city, for it is opera night and
she will remain over until next day.
Just before they reach the station they
stop in front of small building,
which is Mr.. Gould's Lakewood office.
Here he finds important dispatches,
to which he;will dictate answers ON the
train, and all of the New York daily
papers. He catches the limited express,
which brings him with rush into New
York in time to reach his Office in the
Western Union building near the
stroke Of 1890. Then come two busy
hours-consultation with his confiden-
tial clerk, Mr.. Somerville (who acted
in the same capacity for Jay Gould,) a
