Killed by his Millions

JAY GOULD'S METHODS

FAMILY AND,FAMILY LIFE

Tfafl win facts of the history of Jay Gould, the founder of the most rapidly won fortune of raoJem times, are well known, bat there are some incident! of his career which am lasa familiar, yet *r$ still of importance to the compre hension of th« man's character. Jay Qtraid revealed a subtle compound of andacifcy and nnserapulousneßs m hie jssethods of money-making, while In the" privacy of hie home life he was beyond reproach— a faithful httaband anda devoted father. H« was the cleverest and most daring of the great W»H Street speculators, holding noth ing sacred bet his own selfish interests, ftcd dealing oat disaster and wreckage to men and enterprises that stood m the way of his schemes with a coolness that almost seemed to indicate the absence of ordinary human leelinpr from his composition j and yet m th" SECLUSION OF HIS OWH HOMB, which ho treasured greatly, he was a man of the gentlest and most affection- Afis disposition, His life, indeed, was full of dramatic contrasts. No bac e&neer that ever swept the seas ao« ©pptetl more rinks than he; no war lite General ever faced odds so wil lingly or so courageously, He was often heroic m the achievements of his two sordid ends, as other men have been In the d«iog of nohl© deeds for the good of others. Born on a farm m Sew York State m 1836, his boyhood at»d early manhood were passed amid hardship and straggle. It was wifch difficulty that he obtained any school ing, having much of tho drudgery of the farm to perform, bat by attending a school eleven miles away, and sub mitting to do clerk work for, a local blacksmith, he managed to pull through as far as ths rndiments of an education were concerned. In 1858, at the age of 17, he went to New York, carrying with him a mousetrap, which he ex pected would make his fortune. Bat the mousetrap wss stolen, and the for tttoe financier h«d to adopt other means of making a living. For a time, it is said, he was A STRKKT PEDLAR bat little by little he worked his way op, and m course of time, by the aid of a small capital that he had contrived to scrape together, be ventured boldly into speculation, invested shrewdly m shares, and oltimatily gained tbe com maod of sufficient money to enable him to fight with the giants of Wall Street, j Once upon the crest of the financial j wave, he never took m sailj but sped j fearlessly on until bis skilful seaman- j ship brought him into port after port of tbe great coast line of the land of sacceaf For years he reigned supreme, Nf> one could pass him. Over and over again he forced disastrous panic upon the money market m order to profit by it, and the famous • Black Friday,' when he and his \ artner, the notorious Jasnei Fisk, jan, effected that * corner 'm gold which enriched them and made thousands of others bankrupt, will always be remembered &8 one of the most astounding days m the history of Wall Street, SciJl he pursued his adventurous way unruffled by THE CORSES OP HIS VICTIMS, or threats of assassination, and when his day's labour was done he drove oft quietly to his mansion, and m the placid atmosphere of the domestic virtues obtained the rest and consola tion neceßaary to prepare him for the next daj'e money-making. Bis as sociation as partner with Jainee Fisk, j fan, was another of the strange cou- j trasts at his lifp. There could be j nothing m common between the two ! men except audacity and anscrupul-* ousn«S9 m playing the financial g»mp, j for Fiak was not of the "family circle" j order of being like Gould, but s loud, valgar, coarse-living man, whose career was finally put an end to by assassin ation Gould survived Fisk for many years, hut with all bis wealth he wae ] not a happy man jhe died at the age j of 58, leaving afortnneof £15,000,000, Speaking of the cause of his death, his doctor is reported to have said that m his opinion the millionaire's system gave way 'nodes? ths great strain re snlting from the conscionsueii of his great wealth,' adding that 'he was alwayf weighed down with the auxiety and excitement of protecting his pro perties." HIS SO7rB ARC DAUGHTERS. Bariog the list five years of Jay Gould's life his eldest son, George J Goald, was actively employed m helping hJB father m tbe management of his great financial undertakings, for which service an extra £1,000,000 wav left him m aidition to his equal share m the gene rat residuary estate. There were cix children, and each inherited over £2,5000,000. The sons are all con nected more or less with importatit financial enterprises, and some of them —notably George—have shown mare^d basineas ability. They have been much more lavish m their style of laving than their father, keeping their yachts, and indulging m most of the fashionable pleasures. The eld^j<-> daughter, Helen Gould, is renowned for her charities j the youngest daughter, Anna, wastnarreid to Count de Oastellace, a French nobleman, whose exploits m ostentations money spending with his wife's dowry have attracted much attention of late, partly became of tbe embarrassment that has followed his indulgence and partly becnuae of a volatile political eccentricity which, without furthering his personal ambition, hss served to amuse his countrymen considerably.
