The history of Jay Goold, from the barefooted boy wli, wan- dered over the rough bilis of Delaware county, to the railroad king whose wealth was estimated at 800,000,000, is one of the eno'b remarkable among sell•made men. His life for the past few months has been a constant battle against the inevitable, and all means that medical skill and the interest of friends and rela- tives could suggestvwore employed to pro- long the finanoisr's life. He was taken about in luxurious private cars to places where milder air and the absence of bush nese excitement might be expooted to work a rooupsraticn of his energies.

Mr. Gould was born in West Settlement, a backwoods village of Roxbury, Delaware county, New York, on May 27, 1880. He was the son of John 13. Gould, a former, who was fairly well. to-do, and who bad been a deputy sheriff in the famous anbi-renb war in the early thirties. Young Gould was also a oousin of Alfred Gould, the inventor of the chain well pump, and was closely connected with the Moores, a prominent Scotch family, and others well known in the twenty. His mother died when he was an infant. No two asbimatss agree as to the amount of Mr. Gould's fortune, The most conservative figures plane it at about 800,000,000, while sotne people in Wall street who think they know some. thing about !lie aoouinulations, figure that he must have gotten together 8100,• 000,000.
