GOULD JOINS
SALVATION ARMY.
The 'Wickedest Man in New York" is to
Devote the Remainder of His Life
in Battling With Smile Will
Go to Chicago,

New York, Nov. 19.-It is announced
on the authority of Lieut.. Ad Crane, an
officer of the Salvation Army, in charge
of the slum work in Chicago, that Tom
Gould, once known as ''the wickedest
man in New York" has consented to
put on the uniform of the Army and
devote the remainder of his life to the
work of lifting up the fallen in Darkest
Chicago
Lieut.. Crane declares that the ex-dive
keeper is a humble convert to the relig-
ion of Jesus Christ. No one will ques-
ton that this strong man, if he be real
ly converted, is fitted by nature to ach-
ieve great results. His is a masterful
nature, and he knows that human ma
ture which he has enlisted to serve.
Like Harry Hill and other men who
won fortunes by running questionable
places of entertainment, and who spent
them with a prodigal hand not count
ing on the whirlwind which so often
succeeds the sowing of the wind, Tom
Gould has long been a poor and obscure
man. He made Harry Hills mistake
of defying the police. And in the end
the police ruined him. For years he was
a king and in his small domain was
absolute. He lacked the foresight of
his contemporary, Billy McGlory, who
in the days Of his prosperity invested a
portion of the money he had so ignobly
earned, and when the police dethroned
him, he had nothing left to fall back
upon.
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-11-14

He earned small wages honestly in
various ways One of his Jobs was that
of night Waterman for a contractor, a
friend of more prosperous times who
was building street railways. They
sufticed to buy him food and lodging,
and nothing more. He often tasted the
pangs of bitterest poverty.
Gould's most prosperous days. or ra-
Their nights were when he ran an in
famous place in the basement of the old
Booths Theatre building, at Sixth ave-
nue. and Twenty-third street. 1t was
run in the name of his cousin, Wogan,
Tom Gould being on the signs as man
ager He made $4,000 a year here until
one night when Wogan was murdered.
Then the police drove him out
He moved farther up the avenue and
opened the Sans Souci in Twenty
fourth street, where the law was open
ly def1ed and where assaults and rob-
berries We're of almost nightly occur
renee. At times the police protected
him, at times prosecuted" But finally,
yielding to outside pressure, they closed
him out, and he found himself, in the
language of the Tenderloin, a dead
one."
Last week Lieut.. Crane came to New
York on business. He met Gould, an old
acquaintance, and renewed the pleas he
had made years ago of repentance. Yes
terday Gould consented. Tomorrow he
will leave for his new mission. Great is
the rejoicing at Salvation Army head
quarters,

HON. W. ]. BRYAN
GOING To TEXAS.
He Will Remain There All Winter to Els
cape the Cold Nebraska Weather--Dem-
ocratic Newspaper Repudiates Him
Summing Up of His Career.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 12.-Mr. Bryan
left today for Missouri, where he will
join Col. M. c. Wetmore and a party OF
friends, and spend the next ten days on
a hunting trip. He declined to say eX-
actly where he was going, as he desires
seclusion and rest. His family will
leave in few days to join him. They
will go to Texas, where Bryan expects
to stay most of the winter to avoid the
cold Nebraska weather. His campaign
work of the past two months has had
little effect on his health, but has in
terfered greatly with his literary work.
He will devote part of the winter to his
work. and may consent to deliver some
lectures.
The republican campaign managers
are complaining lately that eastern re-
publicans were Indifferent to the re-
suits in this state, and that the ma
tional committee even refused to send
speakers of national reputation to
Nebraska after some Of these men had
expressed a desire and willingness to
come They deny the story that Mark
Hanna sent 100000 or any other sum
to the state. They say that either
eastern republicans consider Nebraska
hopeless ground or they want Bryan
to be nominated for president next
year believing him the easiest demo-
crat to beat.

HIS PILE WAS COSTLY.
Gold Hunter Returns Home
Reduced to a Shadow of
His Former Self.

New York, Nov. BIB. J. Becker of
Brooklyn, one of the 10 members of the
Continental Cooperative Mining Com
pany that left Brooklyn for the Klon-
dixie gold fields in April 1898, reached
home from the Cape Nome district on
Saturday. He has lost over 50 pounds
in weight as a result of the hardships
he endured, but he is enthusiastic over
the richness Of the Cape Nome fields,
where he and Arthur Vogt another
resident of Brooklyn, have staked nine
claims.
Although refusing to state the amount
of gold already taken from his claims,
Mr.. Becker said: II had cents when
I struck Cape Nome, was only there a
short time, spent $4,000 in getting home,
and will have enough money left to find
my way back to our claims next April"
The life Of the Continental Co-opera-
tive Mining Company was short and
disastrous. It's first mishap was the
burning to the waters edge on the Yu-
kon, Of the boat engaged by the party.
In the fields, device for locating the
ore veins which had been invented by
one of the party and on which great
dependence had been placed, failed to
work. This misfortune was too much

PARTY AND PIPER.

In answer to the now famous utter
ance of William ]. Bryan, made only
recently, IT viii be in politics until the
lid closes over my coffin," the Brook
lyn Eagle has this to say, editorially;
In other words. he is a slayer. He has
always been known as a candidate for
the presidency. Beneath the weight of
literal Interpretation this statement would
collapse but it conveys an idea of the
truth which is that the Nebraskan was
practically unknown four years ago. He
was pressed into political service by the
convention he himself stampeded. His
introduction to the people of the United
States was in the character of nominee.
With the party he entered into a sort of
contract, by virtue of which, in the event
of success at the polls he was to consider
himself engaged for four years more.
On the other hand, in the event of fail
ure, he was TO consider himself at liberty
TO abandon the platform and resume the
activities by which his attention was
engaged before his summons from pri-
vate life. What has happened since,
everybody knows His contract with
his party was not merged into a con-
tract with the country He was told that
his services were not wanted. In no
questionable shape was the notification

for five of the members, who left home
early last winter.
Soon afterward came the news of
gold discoveries at Capt Nome. and the
remaining members of the party were
among the first to reach the new fields
When we reached Cape Nome" said
Mr.. Becker, you could see the gold
glittering along the beach, which is
covered with thick moss. If you walked
along the beach you could wash gold
from your boots when you returned TO
your nut Two partners near us. a Lam
lander and a man from San Francisco
had the best paying claims. They new
er took out less that $1,000 worth Of gold
day, and l have seen $4,000 worth
taken from single claim in one dav.
The great difficulty is that the claims
can be worked only two months in the
year, and scarcity of fuel makes the
hardship severe. When I left, there was
also dearth of dogs. A dog team could
easily be sold for from $500 to $500 l
intend to return next spring"
The worst suffering Mr.. Becker IN
derwent was on the return voyage The
schooner Hera, on which he took pass

persons, but It's miners eager to get

days, and was reduced to shadow of
his former self

DEMOCRATIC NEWSPAPER REPU-
DATES BRYAN.

Amsterdam. N. Y, Nov. 19.-The
Morning Sentinel of this city comes out
fatty against William Jennings Bryan,
the democratic party's prospective can
didate for president in 1900, in this Wig
orous fashion:
1T is becoming more and more ap-
parent that the democratic party must
cut loose from William J. Bryan and
all that he stands for 1t must look
for a man with national reputation
as an advocate of substantial money
and favorable to a tariff that will pro-
tect all classes to their satisfaction
The party must step out of the mire
into which the rampant and irrespon-
sible apostles of soft money and vi
sionary theories of government have
precipitated it. 1t must stand aloof
from the doubtful ideas of the wild and
woolly west; must get back to former
princuAs of the party. The Morning
SentineI has stood unalterably for
Bryan since 1895, but to be true to the
democratic party and to itself, and be-
ing admonished by unmistakable evil
dences of a fast growing discomfort
among democrats everywhere, it shall
look hopefully forward to a presiden-
tial nomination with every Bryan fea-
ture completely eliminated"

If the new invention of Thomas A.

Young Edison has been at work on
an instrument designed to make pos
sible the extension of the long distance

attempts to use the cable for telephon-

action of the water on the electric
waves. Now Mr.. Edison thinks he has

Mr.. Edison is not willing to talk about
his invention until he is assured of its

triyance, calling for the use of strong
magnets, powerful induction coils and a
transmitter of extraordinary sensitive
ness. He says he has used it with sue
cess in short talk through deep sea
water.
