ing the early 7os he was associated with
Henry George on the Evening Post He
also started a number OF Irish and Catholic
periodicals on various parts of, the coast
He was by all odds the most gifted
and best educated newspaper writer we
have ever had in Omaha" said Mr.. Edward
Rosewater when he heard or the death Of
his old associate. "Iie was a joint founder
Of The Bee in this way: l had him to edit
IT for the first three or -four months. He
began with it at the outset. lie came to
Omaha at my suggestion. fIe had been an
editorial writer on the New York Evening
Post. under the management Of William
Cullen Bryant. and for Horace Greeley on
the Tribune. He was in India for a long
time, in fact was married there. Gerald
was a fine gentleman. The last time /
saw him was one day when he walked out
of the office. saying he was through. He
was an ardent admirer the late George
Francis Train and used to write a great
many 1attering articles about Train.
Gerald. in fact was the man who named
The Bee added Mr.. Rosewater. He and
were leaning over that little form on the
imposing stone. thinking what we should
call the little sheet. ] said we'd call 1t
the Punchnello. But that didn't strike
Gerald at all.
oh, what do you want to call 1t that
name for? he asked with considerable i'm
patience.
well, what would you call it?' I asked.
Why he replied. call Il The Bee. A
bee gives honey and can sting. That will
be a good name
All right said. call It The Bee; it's
only temporary affair anyway; il soon
will be dead and The Bee will do as well
as anything else. guess
so we called It The Bee and for the first
six weeks his name appeared as editor and
proprietor though he was not the founder.
'I got Gerald to come out to Omaha from
New York to edit the Tribune in 1870 The
Tribune was just started by a number of
us and was to be edited by a fine Massa-
chusetts editor but the Bay State man
failed to arrive and the other directors said
we couldn't get out the paper. L insisted
we could. and they asked me who would
edit 1t. I replied I would. I wrote the
skeleton Of what we wanted to print and
Gerald took il and embellished It, and for
weeks the readers thought our fine Massa-
chusetts editor was here. for Gerald was
the finest writer and most learned editor
who ever was in Omaha. except none.
''The last time heard from Gerald was
on The Bees twenty-fifth anniversary. and
1t was the first time since he had left me
years before"

BOSTON. Feb l5.-tSpeCial Telegram.)-
The annual report Of the trustees of the
Mackay companies was issued today and
states that the companies own a part of all
the capital stock Of seventy-four prosperous
cable telephone and telegraph companies
In the United States. Canada and Europe,
including the Commercial Gable and Postal
Telegraph systems. Tho report further
states that tho Mackay companies is one of
the largest stockholders in the American

monty known as the Bell Telephone COM
pany, and that during the past year it has
acquired control Of the North American
Telegraph company. which for twenty years
has owned and operated a telegraph system
in Minnesota. Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois
The report shows that the Mackay COM
panies has no debts and that there are
$40 .6i55O0 of preferred shares and S4l. 300, 400
of common shares. During the past year
S6I6.0Co preferred shares have been issued
in exchange for shares i'm other corpora
tions paying as much or greater dividends
than the corresponding dividends on the
Mackay preferred shares.
The report states that the income of the
constituent companies is largely in excess
of the amount required to pay the Mackay
companies dividends. The excess is used
for extensions and reserves. The trustees
state that they confine themselves in their
investments to first-cass cable, telephone
and telegraph stocks.
The laying of fifth cable in the Allan
tic ocean and the establishment of cable
communications with Newfoundland and
the laying Of the now cables to China and
Japan are referred to- The trustees are

ward c. Platt.
The American Telephone and Telegraph
company, of which mention is made in the
above item, operates the telephone trunk
lines in Iowa, Illinois. Minnesota and Wis
consin, and is closely identified with the
Nebraska and Kansas Telephone COM
panies. This is the first actual admission
that these telephone systems were under
the control of the Postal Telegraph COM
pany, although it has been known in high
financial circles that such was the case.
