Miss Helen Miller Gould OF New York

road man of st. Louis. was made this

gagement in a formal statement, which
read:
"Mr. and Mrs. George j. Gould an
nounce the engagement of their sister,
Miss Helen Miller Gould, to Mr. Fin
ley J. Shepard of st. Louis"
Fortune TrebIed
Upon the death of her father. Jay
Gould, i'm 1892, Helen Gould then "a
years old, inherited a fortune Of about
$1O,000,000. 1t has been estimated
that by investment she has trebled
this fortune and at the same time de-
voted fully half of her time to bene-
factions which brought her into world
prominence.
She began her benefactions during
the Spantsh-American war when she
gave time and several hundred thou
sand dollars to the relief of sick and
wounded soldiers, for which she re-
ceived the thanks of congress. In
1899 she led a woman's movement for
the unseating of Brigham II. Roberts,
congressman from Utah, as a demon
stration against polygamy Later she
became devoted to the interests of
railroad employees, and toward the es-
adjustment Of the Railroad Young
Mems Christian Association she gave
her personal attention and upward of
million dollars. Several Railroad
Y. NJ. c. A. buildings, others for naval
men and several for the Young Wo-
Mems Christian Association have been
erected In cities through her gener-
osity. ~. g.. =. - .

One of the unique forms of her char
lily has been the personal receptions
she has given to hundreds of city
waits and self-supporting women at
her estate near Tarrytown, N. Y,
which includes a great playground es-
peeially fitted up for these parties. She
never has been attracted by society.
Only last July, Miss Gould figured
in a controversy with Rev. Elmer i.
Huffner of Grand Juntion. Colo, when
he dealt severely with bachelor
maids" in sedmon, declaring spin
sters should be isolated.
Miss Gould was quoted as replying
that he did a great injustice to the
bachelor maids, particularly to those
who were devoting themselves stog

ALLOW COLLECTOR
TO KEEP TAX FEES
Lone Republican Makes Un-
successful Fight Against Sys-
tern in West Orange.

Councilman William Kerr. the only
Republican member Of the West Or
ange Town Council, made an unsuc-
cessful fight last night against the
practise of Tax Collector Frank A.
O'Connor In keeping fees for tax
searches, instead of turning them
over to the town. He voiced his OBJ
lection when an ordinance naming
the salary and defining, the duties of
the tax collector came up for final
reading.
1t has been the custom OF the col
lector before making tax search to
inform the applicant that q small fee
is charged and that the applicant
may examine the books without pay
ing. 1t was pointed out by Mayor
Muta and the Democratic members
! that there is no clause in the ordi-
! nance which covers the duties of the
collector in making tax searches
For this reason Mr.. Kerr's supple
ment to the ordinance was voted out
Of order.
| 1t developed that the searches
should be made by the town clerk
when application is made in this
manner Town Clerk McDonough
| said, however, that he had never been
asked to do so, and was not arfkioui
to begin, as he will vacate his office
the first Of next year.
Accommodates Lawyers.
Just previous to election this mat
ter furnished the topic for debate
between Mr.. O'Connor and a number
OF Progressives. Mr.. O'Connor at
that time said he did not seek such
work and performed it principally TO
accommodate lawyers.
Not wishing to have the Council
establish sinking fund to cover the
cost of equipment for the town play
ground, a number of wealthy citi-
zens contributed $4,000 for the pur-
pose, and sent a check for that
amount to the Council last night
The grounds were donated by MI
and Mrs. Alfred Jenkins. G. A. Gill
lispie, of Llewellyn Park, solicited the
money from his acquaintances In the
town, and the Council passed reso
luton thanking him and those who
contributed.

Attorney Robinson, the Erie railroad
requested the Council to discontinue
suit against the railroad to compel
1t to remove bridge at Watching
avenue. The suit is now pending In
the Chancery Court. The company
will remove the bridge, providing the
town compels property-owners along
Wigwam brook to remove all obsta-
cles in the water course. The Coun-
oil adopted a resolution instructing
the town clerk to inform the owners
Of it's action.

MODESTY IN POLITICS.

During a local. election in a Ger

Myself" was the answer.
"Do you accept the nomination."
"Well, no."
Then we must try again. Whom
do YOU nominate?"

''Yon accept the nomination."
"No."
A suhdued "Donnerwetterl" es-
cared the perplexed official, but he
went on
"For the third time, whom do you
nominate?'
Myself" came the invariable re-
ply
DO you accept the nomination."
The man rose with a smile Of satis-
faction spreading over his face as he
answered proudly:
Having been three times solicited
by my fellow-citizens to accept the

THE DEMOCRATIC FIGHT.

MANY of the Democratic opponents of the
4 nomination of Governor Wilson in this state
regard him as a second and but slightly modified
Bryan. About the time the financial interests of
New York began to fight the Governor, the Demo-
Gratis here who echo the views of those interests
opened war on Governor Wilson, and there has
developed what prelses TO be a serious fight be-
tween the Democratic factions
The struggle will be more serious than the con-
test between the Bryan and the anti-Bryan men of
years ago. In those memorable days the Bryan
men we're practically without leaders Those who
had been at the helm of the Democratic ship in
this state deserted Mr.. Handy, Mr.. John G. Gray
and few others stuck by Bryan, but the party
was unable 10 conduct vigorous campaign for
him. And during the last few years it has merely
drifted along. But this year the struggle will be
on somewhat different lines.
The taking up of Wilson by Mr.. Willard Saus-
bury means that the New Jersey Governor will
have support that Bryan lacked. There are and
will be leaders in the fight TO control the next
Democratic State Convention for Wilson. In fact,
it looks as if the struggle will be furious from be-
ginning to end between the friends and the oppo-
nents of Wilson with eacliside led by men skilled
III t-sifs, 9emaefatc politics of Delaware
The issue has been clearly made. 1t is whether
a delegation in favor of Wilson or one against
him shall be selected. The opponents of Wilson,
fearing that they have no one candidate to pit
against Wilson for control of the delegation TO
Baltimore will work for an uninstructed delega-
ton, which means delegation opposed to Wilson.
Therefore, we shall witness clean-cut fight for
control of the convention. And the contest neces-
sarily involves some of the progressive measures
which are allied with the name of the New Jersey
Governor.
1t should be an open struggle between the pro-
gressives and the conservatives. Should the pro-
gressives win at the state convention, that would
mean in all probability that more progressive DEM
ocrats would be in the Legislature of the state
with prospect of securing advanced legislation
for these Democrats woud,probably aid Republi-
cans in any attempt they might make for progress
sive legislation.
The present fight among the Democrats is there
fore freghted with possibilities affecting the
state than would at first be imagined. The only
thing that throws shadow across the path is that
it is likely that the struggle of the Democrats in
stead of developing along the lines of progress and
reaction will end in a contest in which the person
ality of the Delaware leaders will figure to larger
extent than the issues involved.

BOARDS OF TRADE.

THE CHESTER BOARD OF TRADE has made
L an appeal TO the business men of that city
for better financial support. The Chester Board
IS suffering from the same complaint that affects
the Wilmington board-lack of money necessary
to do many things that should be done
The same criticisms are heard in Chester of their
board that are sometimes heard about our own
body. People ask what the board has done The
Chester cyncs are like those in other cities Ches-
ter has its share of knockers" as every city has
But body like the Chester Board of Trade and
body like the Wilmington Board of Trade should
not lack either for pecuniary or for moral sup
port.
Boards of Trade are representatives of the COM
mercial activities of cities They are what the
business men and others interested in the well
fare of a city make them Dissatisfied persons
should not be content with mere carping criti-
cism.. They should try TO mend matters they
should lend a helping hand; they should endeavor
TO make what they have better No community
can go forward where the tendency on the part of
those who do nothing themselves is merely to be-
little the efforts of others who least try to do
something.
