GOULD LOSES POWER.

That George Gould Is no longer
big factor in the railroad world, to be
compared with Hartman or Hill, is
admitted by authorities ON railroad
affairs. 1t is said that Gould's fall
ure was brought about by his loose
habits, for he INDUCED in wine, women
and song, and no one, however talent
ed by nature can so abuse his op-
portunities and retain a leadership
among men, The Denver News says:
Whether George Gould is actually
retiring from railroad life or not, mat
ters little Tne important tact is that
he has ceased to be a large factor in
that lie. His railroad interests have
proved too big for him. Without doubt
he Will retain his immense personal
fortune. He may oven retain u large

by his name. But his chance to. be-

Gould left railroad properties OF i'm

But George Gould brought little to
the task save good intentions He
lacks the bigness, the daring, the
insight, the quick decision and en-
cyclopedic knowledge that makes the
great modern railroader. He had In
his service some OF the best railroad
lieutenants ~ this country. but -

CHARLES PRICES PACKAGE.

When Charles Price fell heir TO the
patronymic of Price and was baptiseu
Charles he was destined TO receive
$4,000. So after all there is something
In name. although Shakespeare says
there Is not. But to be possessed
of $2400 and to hold ON to that sum
