CHas Just Completed Pacific Gable
Planned by His Father)
wanted, and this line of argument in
congress was the greatest obstacle
toward its completion the Commercial
Pacific Gable company encountered.
1t took IS months to build the cable.
and all through the different phases of
construction Clarence w. Mackay was
a close observer. When an attempt was
made to land the San Francisco end last
December Mr. Mackay was injured in
an endeavor to loosen hawser that had
become damned in the post He took a
hand at the work himself and received
quite number of bruises when the
hawser suddenly freed itself.
The cost of the Pacific cable was be-
tween s., 900 900 and $40 1000 900, and Mr.
Mackay took up the financing of the
enterprise where his father had left off.
The salient point of benefit from the
opening of this new round-the-world
line, according to Mr.. Mackay. is that it
opens the trade of the orient. From a
government standpoint it will save the
United States between 100000 and
100000 yearly in cable tolls. This is in
time of peace. In time of war, the en-
tire cable will be turned over to the gov
eminent for its use. This is an en-
tireSy voluntary act on the part of the
cable company and is in accordance with
the wishes of the elder and younger
Mackay. AS the latter puts 1t: "It is an
American institution and in times of
war the American government shall
have the full use of it"
AS to Mr. Mackay's life, about his only
recreation these days is taken at his
summer home, Roslyn, L. l., or on his
chartered yacht. Colonia, in which he
makes the trip from the country to New
York city and back each day. He is in
his Office every day in the week. except
an occasional Saturday, from nine in the
morning until five in the evening, and
his capacity for work has been remarked
by every one who comes in contact with
him.
Although an all-around athlete, Mr..
Mackay has paid little attention to ath-
lChiNo clhIS bic ldluCi . dSdtn. IlC
seems to have settled down in the bust
ness rut He is an expert racquet play
err, but even this, his favorite sport, he
has not INDUCED in He still keeps a
stable Of polo ponies, but does not play
the game.
Since he disposed Of his racing stable
at Saratoga in August last year Mr..
Mackay has not owned a race horse. His
stable was one OF the best on the turf.
but when his father died young Mr.
Mackay cabled from his bedside to his
trainer. Charlie" Hill, to sell every
horse he had, and they we're disposed Of
at sacrifice, Such horses as Mexican
sold for $4,000; His Eminence for So
900; horses that cost Mr.. Mackay more
than double that amount year previ-

DOCTORS 70 ORGANIZE.
Berkeley County Medical Association

VIII he Formed The Officers Elected.
A movement of Importance in medi-
cal circles in Martinsburg and Berk-
eley county was recent meeting held
bv about a dozen of the leading ply
sicians of the citv at the Kings Daugh-
tiers hospital, for the purpose of or
ganizing the Berkeley County Medical
association, to be composed of the
physicians and surgeons Of this coun-
tv and to be devoted to the advance
ment of the science of medicine and
surgery in this section.
There were some of the leading ply
sicians of the county at the meeting.
and after thorough discussion of the
aims and objects of the proposed asso-
citation, IL was decided to go ahead
with the arrangements for its organi-
zation. DR.. J. W. McSherry was
elected temporary president and DR..
Henry Castleman temporary secretary.
A committee was also appointed for
and resolutions for the government of
the association, and the members will
make their report in about two weeks,
when it is believed the physicians of
the county will be more fully repre-
sented than at the last meeting.
Among the objects of the association
will be the organization of visiting
and consulting staff for the Kings
Dughters hospital. which will re-
suit in material assistance TO the corps
of able physicians who are already
doing such splendid work at that in
stltution.
The proposition has met with u
great deal of favor among the physi-
clans in this city and county. ana a
permanent organization will undoubt-
eddy be effected at the meeting to be
held in the neaI future.
