Clarence H. Mackay, although he is
a sportsman in everything that the
word implies, has never been a sport -
He is never seen in the places frequent
ed by the sporting fraternity; he is a
temperate man, but not a total alb
stainer, and is not gambler, although
he occasionally sits in a friendly game
but is not a big man.
Mr.. Mackay married Miss katherine
Duer in May, 1898, and daughter was
born to them on February S, 1900. His
home at Roslyn, Long Island, is beau
tiful place, which was completed re-
Gently at cost of more than 81 ,OOO,-
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 $50,000,O0O to 10000, 900,
some persons who know the value of
the investments place it as high as
$sO,000,00O, and contend that John w.

pacity and his thorough knowledge of
the enterprises with which he was con-
nected Ibid not know within SIC, 100000
how much he was worth. He was so
methodical 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 Ma ckay concerns
Just as though he were still conduct
ing them.
Among the larger concerns of
which Clarence H. Mackay will be-
come the head are the Mackay-Bennett
Cable company, the Postal Telegraph
company and the Pacific Commercial
Gable company. The large sugar re-
fnery at Yonkers, the Canadian Pa
rifle 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.

Of his good name, and in this respect

= Good Fighter.

Estimates published in London put
the late John w. Mackay's fortune at
$40,O00,O00 to $4,000, 900, and in legal
circles it is considered a nice point
whether the British government is not
entitled to claim death duty of five
per cent. on what Mrs. Mackay inher-
its under her husband s will, as, though
not naturalized, she is domiciled in
England. Then death duty will have
to be paid on all the testator's invest
.nents in English securities, so the
chancellor of the exchequer calculates
making handsome haul out of his
estate, as Mackay's English invest
ments are said to be nearly $1O,OOO,-
600.
His friends declare that four years
ago, foreseeing prospect of his es-
tate being mulcted by the English
treasury, owing to his wife being domi-
5ciled there, he assigned to her the
greater part of the fortune he intend
ed to bequeath to her, including his
English investments, and that the re-
mafnder of his fortune goes to his
son. S.

the Country.)

the Country
is of white Carrara marble, and the al
tar proper is one large slab of black
Irish marble from Connamara. It is
striking piece of work.
On the platform of the altar rest
four columns of onyx, which are sup
ported by two concentrations OF
green small Irish marble. Between
the concentrations, over the altar
is has relief of pure yellow Carrara
marble, representing the Virgin hold
ing the infant Jesus in her arms
Both figures are of nearly life size
Beneath the mother and child is the
figure of cherub.
Underneath the altar are two of the
catacombs destined to receive the
bodies Of the Mackay family. Large
bronze doors guard the entrance to
these vaults. On the other side of the
main chamber are arranged ten more
tombs. Each one will be Theoretically
sealed as soon as an occupant is placed
in it.
On each side of the tomb is large
solid pillar, arching overhead into
fretwork. The sides are composed OF
many varieties of marble. The floor
is of Italian mosaic, and large ar
rangement of the family monogram in
cluded in it. The ceiling is of mosaic
work in glass, and the side windows
are of stained glass.
The dimensions of the tomb are 80
feet from side to side, 33 feet from
front to rear, and A. feet from base
to summit.
That Mackay was a fighter physically
as well as with his brains was shown
on January 30, 1891, when he thrashed
W. C. Bonynge, a San Fran
cisco broker, in the presidents
room of the Nevada bank. Mr..
,Mackay thought he had reason to con-
slider that certain cowardly attacks
upon his wife had been instigated by
the broker, and he beat him within an
inch of his life.

Nothing more is known in regard
to the tragedy now than was known
at the time the bodies were discovered
aside from the fact that death was
caused by aconite poisoning. The
facts, however, tend to prove that the
poison was taken by Mccormick first,

THE FULL DINNER P4IT.

Once upon a time not long ago-when
votes were urgently needed by the trusts
for their political servant, the Republican
party-we read much and heard much OF
the full dinner pail" The votes were
cast as desired by the trusts-and we
don't hear as much as formerly Of the
full dinner pail
Why is it that we don't hear so much
nor read so much of the full dinner
pail?" Well, first, because it costs the
cent more to fill his dinner pail than it
did when he voted as the trusts desired.
Why does it cost 40 per cent more than
it did in 1900 to fill dinner pail? Prin-
cipally, because of the legislation enacted
by the Republican party in the interests
of the trusts, giving the monopolies of
things men and women and children eat
as well as monopolies of things men and
women and children wear. An owner Of
dinner pail must provide food for him
self and wife and children and must
provide clothing IOr nImSelI ana WIG
and children. If food cost, as it
does, 40 per cent more than it did when
he voted for the political servant Of the
trusts, it follows that he can't buy as
much food as formerly, so his dinner pail
isn't so full as it used to be- If clothing
costs, as it does, 40 per cent more than it
did when the dinner bucket owner voted
for the political servant of the trusts, it
follows that he can't buy as much cloth
ing as formerly; or, if he does, he has
less money to buy food for himself and
family
1T is known of all men that there have
been very few instances of increases in
wages since the election of 1900. But it
is also known of all men that the in
creases in the cost Of articles of food and
clothing have actually taken place. Re
cent events have made this fact appear
in a light so strong that no one can fail
to see it. We refer to the action of the
meat trust.
So, if the owner of a dinner pail will
carefully take stock he will certainly
not find himself making money fast. But
the giant trusts have heaped up fortunes,
thanks to the votes of the dinner pail
brigade for it's political servant, the
Republican party.

JULIUS STERLING MORTON.

julius Sterling Morton, who died yes
terday on his SEVENTEEN birthday ami
versary, was one of the great minds of
the West. He went to Nebraska when
the commonwealth was a territorial in
FAINT, almost fifty years ago, and has been
one of the states most active workers
all the years of his life. When the fight
against high tariff was fiercest back in
the eighties. Morton's voice and pen
were used with effect against what he re-
garded as robbery of the common people
that the manufacturers might pile UP
fortunes behind a tariff wall so high that
it would shut out all competition from
without the bounds Of the nation.
AS recognition Of his yeoman service
on the stump and elsewhere and be-
cause he was one of the best farmers
in the Trans Mississippi country, Grover
Cleveland made him secretary of agri-
culture in 1898, and he served one full
term Of four years with great credit to
himself and untold benefit to the people.
During the last four or five years of
his life Mr. Morton devoted all his time
to his farm and to his newspaper, The
Conservative, published at Nebraska
City, Neb, in which he took much
pride. The editorials in this paper have
been widely copied because Of their vigor
and sound logic.
