ing seven items OF financial history
which have contributed to the heaviness

dicate. since exploited in many columns
of detail in the press of the country.
There is nothing new in the alleged
disclosures of recent date. The commits
sIons paid by the syndicate were known
and understood by its eighty-odd mem
bers more than a year ago. They were
one of many causes Of discomfort The
friction was sharp and 1t lasted long
time. It was not on a question of policy,

a year profit they had hoped for

come to look for them as natural In

George ]. Gould is in Europe. He has
taken rest from a position that un-
doubtedly. is growing more and more
difficult. The designations of Joseph
Ramsey, ir. and Cyrus J, Lawrence
from the Wabash are merely incidents in
the world of trouble. Mr.. Gould, through
too headstrong and imperious disposi-
ton, has antagonized the 'old Gould
crowd" the men who followed the late
Jay Gould and made money. There Is
only one reason. They have followed
GNrge J. Gould and have lost money.

MIR. Gould had to his hand a clique of
powerful friends, relicts of tho late Jay

Never -Ceasing Vigilance.
Never once during the time I spent
observing them did the guardian wasp
relax his vigilance. When he put his
head Down to suck with the others his

much as they liked on The very rim. but

WONDERFUL CURE
Covered from Head to Foot with

CURED BY CUTICURA
FOR FIVE DOLLARS

Mrs. George H. Tucker, Jr., s3S

is a grateful mother. "When six
months old, she says, "my little girl
weighed a pound and a half less than
at birth. When one month old a scab
formed on her face, spreading until it
completely covered her from head to
foot, followed by boils, having forty
on her head at one time, and more on
her body. Then her skin started to
dry up, and it became so bad she
could not shut her eyes to sleep. One
months treatment with Cuticura Soap
and Ointment made a complete cure,
and now my child is as large, strong,
and healthy as any child of her age.
The DOCTORS and drug bills were over
one hundred dollars, and my baby
grew worse all the time. Then we
spent less than FIVE dollars for Cuti-
cura and cured her"
