Clarence II. Mackay, although he is
ia sportsman in everything that the
word implies, has never been "sport."
He is never seen in the places frequent
ed by the sporting fraternity; he is a
temperate man, but not total alb
stainer, and is not gambler, although
he occasionally sits in friendly game
of poker. He is an all-around athlete,
but is not big man.
Mr.. Mackay married Miss Katherine
Duer in May, 1S9S, and a daughter was
born to them on February 5, 1900. His
home at Roslyn, Long Island, is beau
,tiful place, which was completed re-
Gently at cost of more than 81 1,0OO,-
900.
AS to the fortune which will come
to the young man there are no positive
figures, says the New York Tribune,
and while it has been variously esti-
mated from $5O,O00,OOO to sec, 700 600,
some persons who know the value of
the investments place it as high as
$SO,000,000 and contend that John w.
Mackay, despite his great business ca
pacity and his thorough knowledge of
the enterprises with which he was con-
nected, did not know within 500. .OOO. 600
how much he was worth. He was so
meth hodical and had the uncertainty of
life so constantly before him that he
left his affairs in perfect order, and
even without his directing hand every
thing will go on in the Mackay concerns
just as though he were still conduct
ing them.
Among the larger concerns of
which Clarence II. Mackay will be-
come the head are the Mackay-Bennett
Cable company, the Postal Telegraph
company and the Pacific Commercial
Cable company. The large sugar re-
finery at Yonkers, the Canadian Pa
rife railway, the Southern Pacific rail-
road and the White Knob Copper COM
pany are among the corporations in
which he will be prominent figure.
There are also several large companies
in the new gold fields in the Klon-
dixie in which much Mackay capital is
invested
John W. Mackay was always proud
of his good name, and in this respect
the young man also resembles his ia
ther. for whom he always showed
great love and affection.

SOCIETY MAN A SUICIDE |
R. R. Remington:Shot Himself in a
Club House at Newport, R. I.
HE WAS DISAPPOINTED IN LOVE
Breaking OF Engagement to Marry
Miss May Van Allen, Granddaughter
Of Mrs. William Astor. Said to BE
the Cause Of the Tragedy.

tne IduSe OF the Tragedy.
Newport. R. l., Aug. 19-Disappoint-
ment over broken matrimonial en-
gagement is believed to have been the
cause of the suicide here yesterday Of
Robert Reading Remington, of New
York. Mr.. Remington came over to the
club house from his rooms at the La
Forge cottage about o'clock yesterday
afternoon, and after reading the papers
for some time, went to the committee
rooms on the second floor An hour
and half later two muffled reports
were heard. but those in the building
paid no attention to them. Later Mr..
Remington's body was found by a
member who went to the committee
room. Remington had evidently been
dead for some time. A local undertaken
took charge of the body.
Mr.. Remington was we'll known
among the summer residents in this
city and had been closely identified
with the social world here for the last
seven or eight years. His engagement
to Miss May Van Allen, daughter OF
James Van Allen and granddaughter of
Mrs. William Astor, has been discussed
for some months At first 1t was de-
MED, and then affirmed, but 1t Is gen.
orally believed there was a definite en-
gagement, which. however, was broken
some three weeks ago. 1t is said that
Mr.. Van Allen was greatly opposed to
the engagement from the beginning.
Since then Mr.. Remington has been
respondent, although when asked about
the engagement he steadily affirmed
that he was to be married in the fall.
He left the city about week ago,
breaking up his domestic arrangements
here and sending away all his effects.
Last Thursday, however, he suddenly
returned to Newport. He had fire.
quented the Reading Room, the leading
club of Newport, and seemed to desire
to be left alone.
When the body was discovered blood
was coming from the mouth, and a re-
volver was found by the dead mans
side. A physician found that three
shots had been fired from the revolver,
and an examination of the head showed
that all three had taken effect. The
first bullet, apparently, ploughed across
the forehead, cutting deep cash, and
the second glanced up over the head,
making furrow on the top of the
Uranium, but still not entering the
skull. The third shot was fired through
the mouth, and the bullet entered the
brain, death probably resulting in
stantly..
Mr.. Remington was about 35 years
of age, and member of the firm of
Remington Brothers, of New York. He
had always sbeen known as man of
very quiet tastes. His death has
caused tremendous sensation here.
Mr.. Remington's brother telegraphed
from New York to have the body pre-
pared for burial. 1t will be taken to
Pittsburg, the former home Of the
Remingtons.

GOOD BUSINESS MAN.
Heir to Mackay Millions Respected
by Financiers.
Suggested Some Successful Schemes
to His Father-His Weakness
for Horses Has Never Be-
come q Vice.

Clarence Hungerford Mackay, who,
Mackay, becomes the head of the fam
lily and of the great business inter
ests which it controls, has for years
been familiar with the various bust
ness enterprises in which his father
was engaged. Up to the present time
he has never taken active part in the
direction of the Mackay business con-
Germs, but it is well known among the
friends of the family and among the
men who were the business associates
of John w. Mackay that Clarence Ii.
Mackay had the confidence of his ia
ther in business matters, who gave him
credit for having suggested some of
his successful business schemes.
Clarence II. Mackay was born in San
Francisco April II, 1874. With his broth
er, who died in 1895, he was taken to
Europe, and his boyhood days were
spent at Nillebon, near Paris, the beau
tiful estate now leased by w. X. Van
derbilt, who has converted q part of
the place into horse breeding estab-
lishment, where he keeps Halma and
other famous horses.
II Clarence II. Mackay has weak
ness it is for horses. He had owned a
number of good horses, but had never
become known on the turf until he
won the great international stallion
race at Paris with Sweaze. The Amer
lean colony at Paris was deeply inter-
ested in the race, because many promi-
nent owners had entered horses. Little
was known of the animal which Mr..
Mackay had purchased at Little Sill
YER, n. j., for $4,000. To the surprise
OF the natives and the great satisfac-
ton Of the Americans, Mr.. Mackay's
horse won in straight heats in 2:1s
each. This was on the turf, and not
on level track, and the performance
has not been equaled since that time.
Mr.. Mackay's first venture on an
American track was with Banastar,

ish. Apparently the mischief spread
with such rapidity because the bug has
no natural enemies in this country, and
that is why the department of agricul-
ture sent one of its most expert en-
tomologists, Mr.. Marlatt, to the far
east to look for something that would
devour the destroyer.
Mr.. Marlatt had long chase. He
Travelled over Japan and through many
far countries, but it was not until he
arrived in northern China, in a remote
and hitherto uneXplored region, that
he found what he wanted. 1t was an
insect that bore rather extra ordinary
aspect, resembling in appearance
hedgehog, and its customary food was
the San Jose scale.
1t seems probable that this was the
region from which the scale bug orig
inally came. The pest does not
amount to anything on its native
heath, being kept down by its formid-
able foe. But when it made its way to
America. on tree cuttings or in some
such fashion, it was not accompanied
on the journey by its enemy, and hence
the trouble that has arisen in the
United States, where it has thriven and
multiplied exceedingly.
OF course. Mr.. Marlatt was much de-
lighted at his discovery. He caught
100 of the hedgehog bugs and packed
them carefully in box. 1t was long
journey home, but he took the utmost
pains to safeguard his precious live
stock, and, though 9S of them died, he
got to Washington few weeks ago
with two survivors.
Fortunately the two that survived
were lively and healthy. \ large cage
was built for them out of doors. of
fine wire net, so as to prevent them
from escaping. The cage was about
eight feet, and inside of it was planted
a fair-sized plum tree which was badly
infested by the scale insects.
The hedgehog bugs lost no time in
getting to work. Not only did they
attack the scale insect, but they pro-

already about 100-a lot of equivalent
to the original stock obtained-are
crawling about on the branches of the
plum trees. They are so precious that
Secretary Wilson would not take five
dollars apiece for them, and the cage
is kept locked, no unauthorized person
being permitted to enter it.
The hedgehog bugs turn into beetles
after ten days or so-decidedly hand
some beetles, about the size of lady
bug. each with two bright red spots on
the back. They are particularly busy
bugs, and the energy they exhibit in
destroying the scales is wonderful.
They simply walk over the branches of
the infested tree and gobble the OBJ
noXious insects one after the other.
As soon as the hedgehog bugs have
multiplied to a sufficient extent, Mr..
Marlatt is going to give patches of
them to large fruit growers, in this and
other ways distributing them over the
infested parts of the country, where it
is believed that they will reduce the
scale insects to harmless numbers be-
fore long.-Cincinnat Enquirer.

DIED OF HIS INJURIES.
Engineer Warner Overlooked Orders and His
Life Was the Penalty.

Engineer Warner, who was fatally in
jured in the collision between the FLYERS
at Tonka siding, near Carlin, yesterday
morning, died half ar hour after he ar
rived at Ogden. He was taken to that
city, which was his home, on the first
train. He leaves a wife and children.
Engineer Warner never regained con-
seriousness and it will always be a mys-
terry why he did not stop his train. know
ing that his orders were to meet No. /
at Tonka n especially after he had re-
ceived the warning signal from the con-
ductor of his train.
The account of the collision published
In yesterdays issue was inaccurate in
stating that No. l should nave taken the
siding. Instead, No. 2 should have side
tracked and Engineer Warmers failure
to stop for this purpose places the whole
responsibility for the accident with him.
No. l reached Tonka a few moments
before the other train was due and was
waiting on the main line for No. 2 to take
the siding. No. 2 passed the switch al
most at full speed-Engineer Warner had
overlooked his orders-and the trains
were together before anyone realized the
great mistake which had been made. He
paid the penalty of his error with his life.
When passenger trains approach a
meeting point the conductor of the one
which is to take the siding signals the
engineer by pulling the bel cord, which
sounds an alarm bell in the cab. The
engineer answers by two quick blasts of
the whistle. Conductor Harrington of
No. 2 rave the signal when the train pas
sed the whistling post for Tonka siding.
There was no answer. He Immediately
repeated the alarm, but no answer came.
Realizing the danger in an instant, Con-
ductor Harrington, who was in the buff
fet car, sprang to the lever n applied
the emergency, which is supposed to
stop a train In it's own length. But he
was too late and the crash came the
moment following.
Railroad men cannot account in any
way for Engineer Warner overlooking
his orders and ~disregarding the con-
ductor's warning signal as he did He
had received the orders not fifteen min
utes before, and, having been on the en-
CINE for such a short time, 1t is outside
the range of possibility that he was
asleep.

For County Commissioner.

G. e. Haviland of this place, who re-
ceived the nomination for Short Term
Commissioner by the recent Republican
county convention, announces himself for
the office in this issue.
Carl Haviland is another of the many
young men who ave been put forward
so prominently in the present campaign
both In the State and his county. He
was born in Paradise valley and grew to
manhood there. During the past five
years he has lived in Winnemucca, being
engaged in the staging business as pro-
prietor of the lines running from this
place to Paradise and McDermit. A short
time since he went into the livery stable
business here also. 1t will thus be seen
that he is thoroughly identified with
the interests of the town and county and
his success in managing his own husi-
ness affairs is proof positive that If elect
ed he would give to those of the county
the same careful attention. He is In adj
dition universally popular and it is GER
tain that his party could not have NOM
mated a stronger candidate.

Killed In Mine Explosion.

AT the S~earchlight mine in Lincoln
county on the 18th instant, Ross s.
Briggs, a miner, was killed by an explo-
sion. He had fired the fuse for a round
of holes in the bottom of the shaft and
then gave the signal to be hoisted, but
in some way lost his hold and fell back
on top of the burning fuse. 1t is evident
he fully realized his utter helplessness,
says the Se~archlight, for when the three
feet of muck was removed he was found
standing upright in one corner, his arms
shielding his face and his finger nails
driven deep into the palms, showing with
what determination he stood during that
seemingly endless second awaiting death.

Dr0uth In Idaho.

Southern Idaho is reported in the clutch
of a bad drouth, no rains worthy of men,
ton having fallen there this summer,
and no good soaking ones in the past
three years, says the St. Joe Journal.
The grass is thin and the range closely
eaten. As a result sheep are not as fat
as ordinarily, although in much better
shape h would be expected under the
above conditions. The movement to mar
ket has just begun and shipments will be
in earnest from now on. Very little feed
ing stock will be sent to market, as flock
masters claim they can sell to better ad-
vantage on the range, although feed is
higher and grass cheaper than a year
ago. While a big chop of hay was rea-
liked, the strong demand has caused
prices to rule 81 higher than last season.
The winter range is not as good as in
former years, but in very fair condition
considering the shortage of moisture this
summer.
