Glovanni P, Morosini, His Confi tial Aid, Describes Him—He Joys Fun—His First and Only Cigar, Jay Gould has accumulated a greater fortune than any other person of the century who started in life without a dollar, Noone knows more about him than Mr. Giovani P, Morosini, who was for eighteen years his confidential asso- ciate. . Mr. Morosini said to a New York Sun reporter the other day: “More has been written about Jay Gould individually than about any other living American. With all that has been written, comparatively little is known of him. Most of the stories, printed or otierwise, about him have been imaginative or so distorted as to lose all resemblance to the lack of knowledge is due to Mr. G There never was a man with lc siveness in his perso Tio prefers to keep out of sight. Napoleon, he is a man. of silence and thought. Te would be out of his ele- ment in a crowd. “Mr. Gould” fords afair no His face alway expression, externai appearanco af- 1 of his mental makeup, s a contempl ) It is o fact that he is think- ing iucessantly. His interests are so vast_und his schemes 80 complicated that his mind must be bent upon them allthe time, Mr, Gould’s eyes are sel- dom turned upon the face of a person with whom he is talking. He will now and then east a glance at his questioner but generally heis looking in some other direction. This - peculiarity of Mr. Giould’s is not because he is unable to look anybody in the face, but because he is meditating while he is conversing, He never lets his gaze rest on any object more than a moment, If hedid it would distract his thoughts, His hardest thinking is done when his eyes are wan- dering off into space. “Mr, Gould is a man of few words To y he responds in the briefest If ‘yes’ or 'no’ is a suflicient wer only the one word escapes him, It is remarkable how much he can say in one or twoof his terse sentences. He speaks in a low and rather soft voice, without inflection or gesturcs, Unless he is the questioner he does not talk even for the sake of enlivening a dragging conve tion. When seated Mr. Gould invariably throwsone leg over the other and leans back in the cl » When standing he likes 1o rest his hand upon something. When at the, ticker read- ing the quotations of the stock market, which the machine prints ona paper tape, he generally sits on she arm of a chair. As arule he has something in his hand, either a letter, a scrap of paper, or a pencil, which he twirls most incessently, though not nervously. He seems to be lost unless his hand is occupied in this way. It is an uncon- scious occupation, and merely represents the force of habit, “In all his ways Mr, Gould is exceed- ingly plain and quiet. Bluster, show, or an_exhibition n} importance is wholly foreign to his nature. Perhaps one rea- son for his great success is that people with whom he has dealt have not ac- corded him the measure of his ability, and in consequence he has got the best tions. Theold saying applies Gould. He is smarter than a trap, and a steel trap is supposed o lie low and say nothing. Notwith- standing the dominmating quality of money-making there are the samo cle- ments in his composition as inother peo- ple who have not fortunes to guard and add to. “First of all Mr. Gould has a keen sense of humor, the gratification of which, however, s seldom indicated by more than the quictest smile. If he were an orator he would be another Chauncey M. Depew, through drier in his humor. Mr, Gould cannot make a speech, so Mr. Depew need not fear him as a rival in the oratorical field. Mr. Gould has made three speeches in his life, and the longest contained perhaps fifty words. He is not at his ease when posing before a public assemblage. *Mr. Gould likes to read the newspa- pers and extracts u great deal of quiet fun from them, He reads them care- fully, and points which another reader might hurry over he will find signific- ant, ridiculous or humorous. He spends all his spare time reading. There are few more devoted book worms. 'The books which he reads are of a substan- tial and instructive character. thoroughly acquainted with histor cient and modern, and is well versed in scientific progress. *Mr. Gould has few pastimes outside of his reading. He used to drive a great deal, but nowadays he limits himself to a ride in the afternoon in Central park with his daughters. He occasionally plays cards with his younger children, 1t more for their amusement than his own. Onuce ina while he goes to the theater. He is rarely seen at the opera. As o matter of fact he has no ear for music. His evenings are usually spent at home, and are partly if not altogeth- er, occupied in looking over the reports of ‘the railroads and other corporations in which he is interested. “*Although he has a fine mansion on fifth avenue for a city enceand a magnificent place at Irvington on the Hudson, for a country residence, and a yacht almost as large us an_ocean-going steamship, he is, nevertheless, very plain in his ways of living, He dresses in the quietest style. He eats of simplest food, and vevy little of it. He is regular as a clock in his habits. His meals are taken ot exactly thesame hour each day. He is in bed about 10 0,clock every night, and is up by ) or 6 in the summer and by 7in the winter, My Gould has tired somewhat of his yacht, It takes fifty- two men to make up the crew, and the l;rmclpul use to which it has been put as been to carry him between New York ond Irvington, He could have made the trip quicker, though not with so much comfort perhaps, by rail. No doubt he would wc&'e})fi a roasonable offer for the craft, which is one of the best appointed rivate vessels afloat, **Mr. Gould’s mail is enormous, Three- fourths of it is composed of begging let- ters, and the better pari of the remain- ing one-fourth is from cranks and people whe ought to know better. On an aver- age Mr. Gould roccives three lotters a week in which the writers threaten to take nis life, He never pays any atten- tion to the threateningletters because he knows that any one who intended to kill bhimm would not tell him beforehand. Very few letters that come to Mr, Gould are answered. Whatever lettors Mr. Gould has to write he pens with his own hand. Hodoesnotemploya stenographer. His lotters ave exceedingly bricf and no coples of them are ever kept. “1tis a great mistake to suppose that Mr. Gould is in constant fear and trem- bling for his life. He has so much else to think of that he has no time to think of danger. He goes about wholly unattended, und the story what he his o detective constantly at his heels to protect him is untrue. It would not be a diffieult thing for anybody actu- hent on taking Mr, Gould’s life to ccomplish his purpose, Mr. Gould hns the knack, however, of passing right be- | fore the eyes of a person on the lookout for him without being observed, How lie does it Is something not easily de- ibed. Beforo one knows iv ho has come and gone like a flash. He is very quick in his movements and seems to glide rather than walk, He very sel- dom uses the elevators in the Western Union building, where he has his pri- vate offices, They are fiot quick enough for him. He c run upand down stairs with more alac Mr. Gould is abso~ lutely tireless, **Mr. Gould has some difficulty in keep- ing out of the way of the cranks, danger- srous, who hang about his office door, ‘T'hey come for all pur- poses, from slaying him to interesting him in flying machines and other enter- jrisest One day a crank wrote to warn him that he would be shot if he did not put up the stock market before 8 v'clock in the afternoon, This crank’s lot had searcely boen nd betore anot was received, ning him that he would be shot if he did not put down the market before 8 o’clock in the afternoon. Whichever way the market went he was bound to be killed, and the dilemma amused Mr ald more than anything »d in & long tima, “One day a man presented himself at Mr, Gould’s office and demanded to sce the millionaire. Somebody else offered to transact any business that he might ave. The man was very dignified, and with nobody except Mr. Gould happened to - his remark andstepping to the »«d him the nature of his busi- The man reached into an inside yoeket and quickly drew out a long brass eylinder. The natur; onclusion was that the man was a dynamiter and that the instrument which he held in his and was a bomb. The door was slimmed shut and everybody in the officomade a wild rush. for a place of . Noexplosion followed, and after atime one of the clerks reconnoitered The man still stood where hej was left with the eylinder in his hand, ~ He suc- ceeded in convineing the clerk that there was no dunger, and Mr, Gould re- turned to the door. The man said he had the greatest invention of the age, in which he wanted M ould to invest afow millions. 1t looked like a squirt gun, bat the man said it was a pocket churn which would make it possible to have fresh butter at each meal. All that was necessary to do was to put some croam in the churn, stick the churn in the pocket and in an idle moment agi- tate the paddle, “Mr, Gould nover gets violently When he is provoked he denotes the fact by shaking the forefinger of his vight hand and saying, ‘‘Chat was wrong,’ or ‘That should not have jbeen done.” He was never known to utter an oath or use an opprobrious epithet. He never gets excited. Under all curcom- he is the same unporturbed, self- Do od, culeulating man. Hisgdemon- Strations of pleasure, although not bois- terous, are much more marked than those of anger. During the yellow in Memphis he sent $10,000 One of the Wall street which was inimical to ge, announced that Mr. Sago would sing the ‘Star-Spangled Banner’ on the steps of the stk exchange for the benefit of thesuffer »rs, The pronos tion struck Mr. Gould as being so e, nely absurd that he leaned b his chair and laughed more heartily than anybody had cver heard him be- fore. The publication was intended as asatiro on Mr, Sage’s prudeuce in money matters. “About the same time a lady came to to Mr, Gould’s office and said that she would contribute 10,000 and go to Mem- phis to cave for the sick if Mr. Gould would give her an additional $10,000 to be expended in her work. Mr. Gould replied that his great rogard for her personal welfare was his only objection to promptly handing over the money to her. She was perfectly willing to risk her life, but Mr. Gould insisted that he could not listen to such a thing. “Mr, Gould’s car was attached toa train on which was a number of plumb- and other mechanics on their way to SunFrancisco to work on the Palace hotel. When the train pulled up at Laramie a towering frontiersman was swaggering up and down the platform of the station with a half dozen revol- vers stuck inhis beltand his pockets bulging with cartridges. One of the lumbers jumped off the train to get a drink, M.D(f his uncertain steps caused him to collide with the wild ard woolly westerner. “ ‘Do you know who I am? growled the walking arsenal, in the voico of a grizzly bear. ‘I am a bad man from Bloody Canon, and I don’t allow no ten- derfoot to look at me.’ “Tam abad man from Newark, N. J.,"” said the plumber, and with that he brought his fist up under the other bad man’s left ear, and the terror from Bloody Canon was stretched out sense- less on the platform. “Mr. Gould heard the row and stuck his head out of a window of his car and asked what the matter was. He was told that a man had just been put to sleep. He did not understand at fiest, but soon found out the nature of the rumpus and had a quiet laugh over it. “When Mr. Gould was in control of of the Union Pacific railroad he went out west to look over a proposed line to Teadville. At the mouth of the canon, quartered ina little shanty, he found o young engineer, whom he employed to make some surveys and maps. Mr. Gould asked him if he did not find it pretty lonesome out there in the wilder- ness. The young man replied that if he had $5,000 he would consider himself one of the most favored mortals, with such magnificent surroundings as he posssessed. When he returned to New York Mr. Gould sent the engineer a check for $5,000. “Mr, Gould is the most liberal man to his friends and employes that Wall stroet ever know. Many times he has made investments in stocks for people and handed them the profits. They have taken the money and tried to add to it by speculations. Not understand- ing the devious ways of the stock mar- ket, they lost all, and promptly ac- cused Mr. Gould of setting traps to catch them. Men who made fortunes through association with Mr, Gould and lost them aftor breaking off their relations with him have found oxcuses for their misfortune by charging it to his machinations. Mr, Gould Ems often said that it was impossible to succeed in Wall streot. without large capital and without being a member. of the combi- nations made uv to manipulate values, “Mr, Gould has no superstitions and no prejudices. Ho looks at everything in o hard, matter-of-fact way, and deals with conditions instead of thoories. He uses neither tobacco nor liquor. He never smoked but once. That was soon after hostarted in the stock brokerage business in Wall street many years ago. He went to a dinner attended by a num- ber of hrokers and at its conclusion was prevailed upon 1o try a cigar with his coffee, His experience was the same as to that of the average small boy who is learning to smoke. The room turned upside down, and there were all the other customary symptoms of the first cigar. Tf it can be sald that M. Gould has o habit, it is the habit of deinking coffee. He is inordinately fond of black coffee, and often drinks three or four cups at a meal, r.

The dwarfing of plants is o favorite pursuit with Japanese and Chinese gardeners. Their peeculiar growth has not heen suggested by ak of fashion, but apparently by the very wants of u nation. The Japunese ave fond of bright surroundings, but their houses and gardens are too smail to admit of any large collection of plants or of much rockery or laying out. To meet to some extent this deficiency, the horticulturists have invented a method of forcing the trees to talke shapes which correspond with the close compass they have to be fitted in, while the pot- ter and brass worker have fashioned wonderful pans and vases to hold these strangely twisted shrubs.

A scedling or cuttingis put on a bitof stone, in a shallow pan or a high but narrow vase, which is filled with a soil light or heavy, but never rich, the object being to preventanabundant flow of sup; s0 that, while the young tree is kept alive, vegetation does not go on with its natural acti The plant 1s also spar- ingly provided with water; hence it grows slowly. Trees thus reaved will scarcely grow more than half a yard high, while their natural height might have been, perhaps, from forty feet to fifty feet, like the thuja in the picture, a tree thirty years old, with its roots springing seven inches upward above the vim of the vase, and the retinospora, quite one hundred and fifty years old, whose roots project at least six inches. This unusual direction of the roots is carefully prepured from the beginning, and the peculiar shape of the trunk and twisting of thebranches ave the result of endless care and perseverance and of the aversion of the gardener for straight lines, which do not answer the object aimed at. As soon as the trunk is suffi- ciently strong it is bent almost in two purts by dint of incessant propping and tyi The tree develops itself in this position, but remains erooked, and this operation must be repeated many times, although occasionally the top of the tree isallowed to grow straight up. Lead- ing shoots are pinched off and their branches are bent and twisted to de- ,§'s, spivals or made to bend over pot, as they are apt to do overa precipice. The quaint coiling of the trunk of an old pine, twenty-four inches high, and the crinking of its branches is beauti- fully illustrated in the cut. Much clip- ping of useless branches is required, and even the buds growing at the extremity of the shoots ave also nippee off to avoid any further lengthening, while those growing at the sides are retained. Some of-these eramped plants are produced by ingenious grafting; thus a stem the sizo of & man’s wrist is placed in a vase and cut down to rise nearly four inches above the pot, and on each side is grafted a small shoot of procarpus macrephylla, with fern-like branches and exceodingly pretly cluter of pyra- mid-lik blossoms A very pieturesque way of growing different pines to form attractive groups is by planting them either on a piece of pumice stone or on At the aristopylla, an arbores- cent fern of south Japan. It produces in time a leafy and graceful landscape. Several fruit trees are also stunted, but the hardy kind for this treatment arve usually comfera, which can easily be trained to take the bizzare yet always artistic shapes giventhem by the gar- dener. ———— Dr. Birncy cures catarrh, Bee bldg. e ] T heard a story the other day about the former assistant rector of one of the largest Episcopal churches of the city, says a gossiper in the Brooklyn Laf The gentleman in question is now the president of a college so far away that e can not mind if I relate the incident. He was a jolly good fellow when ho lived in a boarding house here, and in his off hours was accustomed to join in with the other good fellows of the house at a friendly game of whist or a smoke, One evening when he was out at a ser- vice two of the wags of the establish- ment remembered that it was his in- variable habit upon returning home to doff his roundabout vest and ‘clerical coat, put on an old smoking jacket and incase his feet in a pair of moroceo slip- pers. which latter always occupied the same position on his bedroom floor, pre- paratory to his coming. Accordingly, they firml; nailed these slippers to the floor and awaited results in the next room. Presently the domi- nie returned, They heard him moving about; they heard the thud of his shoes as they were taken off and thrown down and then all was silence. They peeked cautiously in and there beheld the young clergyman stunding in his slippers, his face ns white as a sheet and a look of horror upon it, his eyes staring straight ahead.

AN ONYX MINE IN MISSOURL Discovery of Inexhaunstible Deposits in Crawfird County. Last June o company of Chicago and astern capitalists was organized, with a capital of $1,600,000, to purchase the then only known onyx quarries of the habit- able globe—those in the stase of Puebla, Mexico, which, since the failure of the quarries at Oberstein, Germany, sup plied the world with this beautiful dec- orative matoerinl, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, ome centuries ago the quarries in Arabia, from which King Solomon drew his supply of onyx for the decoration of the interior of his temple, and where ancient Rome and Greece pro- cured their stone for the adornment of their palaces and the homes of the pa- tricians, had hocome exhausted, and with the cworking out of the veins at Oberstein, Germany, it was supposed that Mexico possessed the only quarries of th *h and rave stone, Recent ex- plorations in the Ozark mountains show that s was not the case, ns two cav- erns have been found literally filled from floor to dome with the beautiful materi as well as a hillside deposit from w h the walls and voof of the cavern have been gradually washed away by the ace tion of the elements, The credit of this discove lies with Mr, Hornce Rood of this city, who owns the entire tract, embracing 800 acres, who became embued with the iden that the Ozark range, =0 rich in mineral, also contained onyx, if it could but be unearthed. Acting upon this be- lief Mr. Rood, since early in the sum- mer, has had mincralogists and assist- ants at wo Crawford county to ve: fy his theory if possible. That the re sult of their scurch was eminently suc- cessful is shown by the fact that in that county, near the banks of the Meramee, and within seventy miles of St. Louis, vast and practically inehaustible de- posits of onyx have ‘been found. The find is easy to work and within six miles of the St. Louis & San Francisco rail- way. A syndicate of capitalists has been forn to develop the property, and a contract has been let for: a feriy across the Meramee that the stone m be the more readily reach This will make St. Louis the onyx mart of the world, and the headguarters of the syn- ite will be located here. i rtance of this discovery will when it is stated that ells at from $3 to $15 dollars per e foot, and even then has to be pur- chased on speculation, us there are no ce indications to show whether a s without a flaw or not. The onyx in the first cavern discovered is of a superior grade, beautifully col- ored, striped or banded, and is highly translucent. It is found mostly in the form of couches or wide, thick layers and ean be easily quarried. It takes on a glass-like polish, and in beauty of col- oring and wave lines is in many respects superior to that found in Mexico. This cave is casy of decess, the entrance large, and the stone can be placed on the market at a slight cost. The deposits found in the secondcave are much lz in extent than abte those found in the first cave, and of even a higher grade. It is unquestionavly the largest and finest deposit of onyX ever discovered, It is found chiefly in huge blocks or benches on and agalnst the walls of the beautiful grotto, extending outward and upward along the walls for many feet, This cavern, in addjtion to the benches aforesaid, is also studded with stalac- tites and stalagmites of solid onyx, from a few inches in diameter to that of many feet, The stone here runs in color from a clear translucent white to a deep, rich chocolate. The cavern has been ex- plored for fully a mile without reaching its limit, and {s a solid mass of onyx of variegated hue its entire length. About a quarter of a mile from the en- trance to this cavern a second and smaller cave branches off westwardly for a distance of half a mile. This, too, is filled with blocks of onyx of quality, These are in ledges, in many places 6 feet thick, 10 in width und about 50 in length, The rear part of this small cave or chamber is filled from floor to roof with translucent blocks of this beautiful decorative material, and how much farther it extends into the hill has not yet been determined nor can it be until the onyx in sight has been re- moved, which will require the work of years, The floors of these two caves med 1o be composed of the same ma- las the wallsand roof. But little development work has been done here, only enough to show the quality of the stone. It is proposed, however, to com- mence quarrying early in the spring. In the second cavern hundreds of thou- sands of tonsof onyxare in sight,in some places towering up in gigantic masses not unlike the bluffs on river banks. These columns or bluffs range from 50 t0 100 fect in length. The onxy in this cavern alone isamply sufficient to supply the markets of the world for a century. The third, or hillside deposit, is a pe- cvliar formation, and has been dev oped enough to show that here, too, the supply is practically inexhaustible, five men having taken the i week 140 tons of superior gi varying in size from thatof a man’s head to blocks eight and ten feet long, while many larger piecos wore uncov: ered. Thequality of the deposits here is of a superior grade, equal to the choicest discoveries in either of the caverns above mentioned. The process of erosion or crumbling away can be plainly seen hero at all points, showing that one time this vast deposit was enclosed in a cavern from which the walls and roof have been washed away by the aetion of the elements, thus opening up nature’s storehouse.

A steam “‘horse power’ isequal to taree actual horses’ power, and a living horse’s strength is equal to that of seven men. Therefore the steam engines of the world represent, approxi- mately the working power of 1,000,000, 000 of men, or more than double the working population of the world, the total population of which is usually esti- mated at 1,435,923,000 inhabitants, Steam has accordingly enapled man to treble his working power, making it possible for him to economize his physic: al strength while attending to his intel lectual development. sl RIS Dr. Birney cures catarrh, Bee bldg. rger and mustbe reduced. = - PESENI— ] DIAMONDS.
