MACkAY'S WEALTH
AND DEEDS OF CHARITY
Did Not Know Within 100000 What
He Was Worth.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July I'll
Richard Dey, close personal friend
and former confidential secretary of
the late John w. Mackay, says in an
| interview:
Il don't suppose Mr.. Mackay himself
knew within $20,000,000 of what he was
worth His business was in such order
and his arrangements were so care
fully made that everything will go on
just as though he were still alive. He
was president Of the Mackay-Bennett
Cable company, president of the Postal
Telegraph company and president of
the Prospective Pacific Commercial Ca
BILE company, vice president of the new
100000 sugar refinery at Yonkers,
N. Y, of which Gustave Spreckles is
president; director of the Canadian
Pacific Railroad company, director of
the Southern Pacific and director OF
the new proposed railroad from Ha-
vana to Santiago, in Cuba. He was one
of the largest owners of the White
Mob Copper company, of Mackay, Ida
no, to which the Union Pacific built a
ninety-two mile branch. He was in
terested with Charles D. Lane in the
Wild Goose Mining company at Nome.
He was heavily interested in the
Sprague Elevator and Electrical works,
of New York.
I'm San Francisco Mr.. Mackay own
ed half the Navada block, the Grand
opera house and the big lot at the
southeast corner of Market and Fourth
streets. He owned, together with
Flood, the Burr Burr ranch of about
1000 acres in San Mateo county, the
Coleman tract of about 1900 acres in
and adjacent to the City of San Rafael,
and 5000 acres of timber land in Men
docino county. He owned several
thousand acres of wood land in Nevada
between Reno and Trucke In New
York city he owned the Postal Tele-
graph building, a sixteen-story struc-
ture, and he was the largest owner of
the Commercial Cable company's
building, twenty-one-story structure,
and the property adjacent to it. He
owned the Territorial Enterprise, a
newspaper in Virginia, Nevada. Mrs
Mackay owns the palatial house in
which he died in London.
Mr.. Mackay was a member of the
Pacific Union club, of San Francisco,
and of the Merchants Exchange. He
was staunch Republican, but before
the Civil war he was a Democrat. Sew
eral times he refused to be senator
from Nevada, and eschewed office He
was a Catholic, and two of his warm
friends were the late Bishop Montague,
who had jurisdiction over Northern
CALIFORNIA; mining regions and a large
part of Nevada, and Archbishop Rior-
don. Mr.. Mackay for a long while
virtually supported the Catholic or
phan asylum and its 100 children at
Virginia, New. In New York he main
tanned five or six of the free beds in
hospitals in memory Of his son Willie,
who died half a dozen years ago at
the age of tWenty-siX. Mr.. Mackay
was always doing good quietly and
giving money"

FIFTY ARE DROWNED

ON THE RIVER ELBE
1t Is the Prinus, an Excursion Steam.
err, and Among the People Lost Are
Choral Society-CoIlision With a
Tug Does Dreadful Work.

HAMBURG, July 21.-The steamship
Primus, Of Hamburg, with 1876 passen-
gers on board, was cut in two and sank
blythe tug Hansa on the river EIbe AFT
1880 o'clock this morning. So far az
is ascertainable, about fifty persons
were drowned. Thirteen bodies al
ready have been recovered.
The Primus was an excursion steam
er from BuXtehude, Prussia. The dis
aster occurred between Blankenese and
Nlenstdten. Among the passengers
were the members Of the Eilbeck Male
choral society. At the time of the ac-
cldent the Primus was crossing the
river channel near Blankenese, from
the southern into the northern fair
way. According to witnesses aboard
the Hansa the movement was made too
preclpitately. The Primus struck the
tugs engine room and the Hansa en-
deavored to push her ashore, but the
tug grounded and the ships parted.
The Primus then sank.
With Ropes and Ladders.
In the interval, however, about fifty
of her passengers were able to reach
the Hansa by means of ropes and lad
ders. Seventy more were picked UP by
the tugs boats, while others SWAN
ashore.
Many children lost both their par
ents. The choral society, which was
on board the excursion steamer, con-
sisted mainly of workmen. There were
no foreign passengers. Capt. Peterson.
of the Primus, swan ashore and gave
himself up to the police. Capt. Sachs,
of the Hansa, also surrendered.
The Primus was the oldest boat on
the Elbe. She was built in England
in 1914 and had never before met with
an accident. The Hamburg American
line, which owned the Hansa, issued a
statement to the effect that the wealth
er was fine, the moon was shining and
that both vessels were steering abso-
lutely clear Of each other.
Collision Unavoidable"
Suddenly the Primus, when about $50
feet from the Haasa, put her rudder
hard aport and crossed the bows of
the latter. This mistake" continues
the statement, rendered a collision
unavoidable. The only possible step
for the Hansa to take, namely. to go
full speed astern was carried out i'm
mediately, but without avail"
Less than minute elapsed between
the time the Primus changed her
course and the collision. Boats were
immediately lowered from the Hansa
and ropes and ladders were thrown
over board. Fifty persons were res
cued by the boats. At the same time
the Hansa tried to push the Primus
ashore, but, being of deeper draught.
grounded herself before the passenger
boat. The Primus fioated down stream
and sank 800 feet from the Hansa.

HUNDREDS OF SAILORS

NEW YORK, July 21.-The failure
of the Lanius Ludovicianus, commonly
known as the "Shrike bird" to put in
it's appearance this year and rid Bronx
Park of the caterpillars, who are prey

commissioners to ask the civil service
commissioners for a list of men who
could climb trees and sprinkle them
with preparation to remove the pest
The commission was all out Of that
kind of eligibles, but quickly hit upon
the plan of trying sailors.
A summons was sent to City island
for all the available able bodied sea-
men who wanted job. About 400 men
responded. Climbing trees was simple
as trimming sails to them. and the
fruits of their first days work delight
ed the park commissioners, who now
say they no longer fear the destruc-
ton of foliage.

Acquired charaeterl,tle..

The question whether characterls.

NAL during Its lifetime are or can be
transmitted to Its offspring is one that
divides two schools of naturalists.
Weisman maintaining the negative. AS
the controversy is OF ancient date and
not yet settled, its solution cannot be
simple. Have facts like the following
bearing on the question? There was
at one time race of dogs that chased
their prey and did not point at 1t. as
settlers and other breeds now do. Some
one or more Of these dogs took to
pointing at game. The trick was use
frl to some man or men, who encour-
aged 1t. The acquired habit of these
particular dogs has certainly been
transmitted by inheritance to the
pointers and settlers OF to-day. There
is probably some fallacy or some mis-
