Cincinnai d son Of ". G. Rippcy of San
Francisco. call at Mr.. Mackay's rooms
and insist upon seeing the millionaire? =?
These are the questions which are per
picking the Mackay household. Mr..
and Mrs. Mackay, accompanied by their
two sons, John W.. Jr., and Clarence, ar
rived in Chicago yesterday noon and
went at once to the Great Northern
hotel, where large and elegant suite of
rooms had been engaged for them. The
family had dinner together in their pri-
vate dining room ana in the afternoon
Mr.. and Mrs. Mackay went out for a
drive, leaving the two young men in the
rooms.
During Mr. Mackey's absence several
cards were sent up to his rooms by cal
lers and the sons, without looking at any
OF the names, sent word back that Mr..
Mackay was out driving. 1t happened
that one of the cards contained the name
81. L. Rippey," and when the owner of
it received word that Mr. Mackay was
not in he was not satisfied. lie thought
the answer brought back by the bell
boy a romance, and IN order to satisfy
himself Rippey went in person to Mr..
Mackays rooms. Clarence Mackey
answered the knock at the door. and
when it was asked by the caller if Mr..
Mackay was in he gave the same reply
he had cent by the bell boy. Still Rip
pey was unsatisfed, and after half push
ing himself into the room he introduced
himself to the young men as a son of W.
{. Rippey of San Francisco. The
younger Mackay was so astonished at
the call that he abruptly dismissed the
visitor, who said he would return later.
When Mr.. Mackay came from his
drive he was told of the incident, but he
pretended to consider it lightly. The
family, however, was considerably fright
ened, and the quarters are now being
guarded by an innocent looking detec-
tive. The Maclsays will remain in Chi
cago two weeks or more visiting the ex-

sions there are all the time fifty to seven

who did not pay. They are the exhibitors
and their assistants, watchmen, workmen.
newspaper representatives, the guards,
tiromcn, guides and rolling-chair men:
also, commissioners, directors, both do
mestic and foreign, and their families.
Even Oh the dullcst days we have as a
rule upwards of 100000 human beings
within the enclosure But there is no
crowding. The great exposition and its
mammoth buildings swallow them up as
a field of corn takes in the butterflies
which are attracted by its green and glis-
tening fragrance.
1t is curious to watch these crowds as
they go on their Sightseeing rounds. If
you want to study human nature this is
pretty place in which to do it. You be-
hold here not only representatives of all
races and countries, but about as great
variety of human animals as it is possible
to get together in any one spot on the
earth IS surface. The throng presents one
characteristic which stands out strongly
above all others. 1t is such conspicuous
thing that after q day passed on the
grounds one goes away with u vivid recol-
lection OF having Seen n large section of
humanity in Il certain posture. The pos
ture is that OF an Interrogation point.
Wherever you walk cr ride or go, in the
buildings or without it is the same. A
specimen OF t he race to which we all be-
long leaning forward, u look of expectancy
upon bis face, the word Of inquiry tremb-
ling upon his lips. This is II world in
which it seems half il put here for the
purpose of asking questions and the other
half for answering them. Later in the
summer, VIXEN the crowds get bigger, the
will change. When the daily
number of visitors rises to three or four
hundred thousand, As it is expected to rise
in September and October, we shall see
each exhibitor, guard or other permanent
resident of the White City surrounded by
seven or eight strangers within the gates,
while streams of inquiries and answers

The Exposition Directors Decide to Return

CHICAGO, May 19.-The directors OF
the Worlds Columbian exposition de-
cided yesterday to abrogate their con-
tract with congress by which they bound
themselves to close the fair on Sunday
in consideration Of an appropriation of
52,50O,00O. The money will be returned
to the government and hereafter the fair
will be opened Sundays. Yesterday s
action was practically unanimous, but
two directors out of the thirty-six voting
against the proposition. The machinery
will be closed down on Sunday. but in
every other respect the fair will be open
in all departments the same as on secu-
lar days. But 3l929,07G of the appro-
priation originally made by congress has
been turned over to the exposition com
pany and this amount is to be returned
to the national treasury after the debts
of the exposition have been paid.
The Sunday admission will be 80 cents
the same as during the week. Sabbath
rians are disarmed of their most effect
i've arguments by rules providing for
holding religious services at the park
each Sundap il Choral and Festival halls.
Eminent preachers will be invited to
conduct these services. Choral hall seats
1000 persons and Music hall about 800.
More important, however, than this con-
dition are those relating to the operation
of machinery and the regulation of the
prices on Sunday. "The machinery shall
be stopped and none of the employees, ex-
cept those actually needed to protect
property and preserve the public peace,
shall do any work on Sunday, and those
employees who work on that day shall be
given day of rest during the week." the
regulation reads.
