still more embarrassing was the case
Of lady who hurried into church one

his fathers shoulders.
At the time Of his fathers death
George Gould was his chief adviser
and was practically at the head of the
railroad end Of the business, for which
lie has always shown a preference.
He was able TO take full charge Of
the business IN 1892. and the various
enterprises have prospered immensely
under his management The Missouri
Pacific and kindred interests have
been his especial care. and until the
recent transfer Of Manhattan Elevated
interests to August Belmont he was
president OF that company.
George Gould Is estimated TO be
worth about S30,000.0OO.
