16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1895. J,W.MACKAY JR. DEAD ELDEST SON OF THE MIL- LIONAIRE IS KILLED IN PARIS. THROWN FROM HISHORSE NEVER RECOVERED CONSCIOUSNESS AFTER BEING PICKED UP IN THE STREET. HIS FATHER BROKEN-HEARTED. Courp ONLY OBTAIN MEAGER DE- TAILs—A LIFE OF PROMISE CuUT SHORT. Jr, John W Mackay the elder of the two sons of Jokn W kay, was acciaentally killed in Paris Thursday by being thrown from his horse. The first intimation of the sad occur- rence reached the father at 7 o’clock last evening through a cablegram sent to his private secretary, R. V. Dey, by Clar- ence, the younger son of the Bo- nanza King. This conveyed the in- formation that Willie,.as the unfortunate young man was called to distinguish him more readily from his father, was sick, and then came the foreboding and signi- ficant instruction, terse, but all too com- prehensive, to “notify father to prepare for the worst.” When the dire news was imparted to Mr. Mackay in his room at the Palace Hotel, John W. Mackay Jr. {From a photograph.] he hastened at once to the office of the Postal’ Telegraph and Cable Company, diagonally opposite, and every effort was put forth by General Manager L. W. Storror to obtain further intelligence re- garding the condition of young Mackay. But the click of the instrument which sounded the cable messages remained ob- stinately silent till near the midnight hour, when the most heartrending news to the father clicked slowly off that death had robbed the mining magnate of one of his most cherished earthly treasures. The facts were meager, but only too much to the point. They came from Clarence at Paris and stated that: Willie was thrown from a horse yesterday and never recovered consciousness. He died last evening. There were no further particulars, but it was enough and too much for the nearly heartbroken father. Those few hours of anxiety made greater inroads on his mind and body than years of toil and trouble. It was almost more than he could bear. He sat in a chairin the private office of Manager Storror and held his bowed and silvered head in his bands, and his silent, quiet grief effectu- ally repelled any attempt at condolences, and none were attempted. When the fact of the bereavement was realized by Mr.. Storror he dispatched messengers for John Rosenfeld and Ed- mond Godchaux, two of Mr. Mackay's most intimate friends, but not even with them would ne veuchsafe a word regard- ing his deep sorrow. They could simply sit by and mourn with him in silence. Finally at about 1 A. M., after allattempts to secure additional particulars had failed, th? Jone and saddened man was prevailed upon to retire to his room at the hotel, to which he was escorted by his two friends. Deceased was about 25 vears of age, hav- ing been born at the Grand Hotel in this City 1n 1870. He and Clarence, aged about 23, were the only children of the million- aire, the Princess Colonna being a step- daughter. For the past six months the young man who met his sudden death Thursday and his brother have been spending their vaca- tion in Europe, partly with their mother, partly with their step-sister Eva, the Princess Colonna; and at the time of the fatality the two brothers and the Princess were together in Paris. To those who are aware of the reputa- tion the young man had for fine horse- manship, the news of how he met his death wiil be a great surprise, and the details of the accident will be awaited with unusual interest. : Mr. Mackay’s education was acquired altogether in Europe under the supervi- sion of his mother, but for the past three years he was more closely associated with his father, and has attended to much of the business attendant on his vast finan- cial interests, more particularly to mat- ters connected with the cable company. Both in his business and social relations he was ever genial, and was consequently seceedingly popular with all who knew him. In fact, he iseredited with all the virtues of his father in this regard, and his friends were friends for purely friendship’s sake, his manly and sterling qualities being generally appreciated. He was also a favorite with the fair sex, and during the past few years has been re- veatediy reported as being engaged to one or another of the millionaire belles of this country, amoug others to Miss Birdie Fair, ‘What added to his social popularity was his unusual ability on the violin, an instru- ment that he was exceedingly fond of and to which he devoted considerable time. Owing to the deep grief of Mr. Mackay it was impossible to learn what disposition is to be mace of the remains. As already stated for the past three years father and son had been much in each other’s company, and the natural vride of the father in his eldest son was intensified by the closer bonds created by their being so much to- gether of late. It is a well-known fact that Mr. Mackay, who is now well advanced in the vale of years, looked forward to seeing hi‘l\pet projects maintained and furthered by the son, whose loss has stricken liim so Geeply and so keenly AN INDIGNANT PARTNER. Whereabouts of D. M. Kennedy of Ken- nedy & Inglis Unknown. W. Inglis of the firm of Kennedy & Inglis, manufacturers’ agents in thelum_- ber trade, was asked yesterday as to a suit recently brought by the Brunette Sawmi'll Company (Limited) of British (_701umbm against L. Collins and John Inglis on an indemnity bond, given to insure the faith- ful conduct of the business transacted by Kennedyv & Inglis for that company. o “1 have nothing to say,” said Mr. Inglis, further than that the suit brought is in the nature of a bluff on the part of the com- v instituting it. Pa""i‘ do not care to discuss the case, but prefer to leave the facts to come before the court and jury on the trial of the cause.” Mr. Inglis intimated that the suit was in the nature of a fishing excursion on the part of the sawmill company, but that the facts involved would only be known when called out in the trial. When asked as to the whereabouts of Kennedy, his partner in business, Mr. Ingiis said, “I‘don’t know where he is. He left here two months since and I know nothing of his movements. Ionly wish I dwd. “1'd give $1000 to see him about fifteen minutes. He took everything he could with him and I am left to shoulder all dif- ficulties.”” o Mr. Inglis, in tone and action, indicated very plainly that the fifteen minutes’ in- terview he desired with his partner, Ken- nedy, would be of 3 most lively nature. WAAT SOCIETY 15 DONG Movements of Prominent Peo- ple In and Around the © City. An interesting Santa Barbara Wed- ding—Numerous Theater Parties. On Monday and Tuesday last there were quite a number of theater parties given at the Columbia to witness the performance of “Robin Hood,"”” and supper parties after the opera or dinners before have been very popular this fall, and some of them have been brlliant affairs. Last Monday evening Mr. Fred R. Web- ster gave an evening of entertainment in honor of Mrs. E. W. Bliss of New York. The party, numbering sixteen, were first entertained at an elaborate dinner given in the large banqueting hall at the Maison Riche, at a single table beautifully decor- ated with yellow chrysanthemums. Each uest found at his or her place a corsage P otqustiot SyIBIsEs nd B e St of artistic design. Huber’s Hungarian or- chestra played at intervals during the din- ner. Following this the party attended the opera of “Robin Hood’ at the Colum- bia Theater, and the enjoyable evening was concluded by a delicious supper given at the Palace Hotel, with musicand flowers as accessories. Morning had been ushered in before the delighted party disbanded. Mr. Webster's guests were, besides Mrs. Bliss, the guest of bonor, Mr. and Mrs. Russell Wilson, Mr. Jerome, Miss Laura Mc iss Annie Clark, Miss -Jennie e Coleman, Miss Fanny Crocker, Walter 8. Newhall, J. B. Crockett, Jerome A. Hart and J. C. McKinstry. On Tuesday evening three theater parties were observed. One was given by Mrs. Peter Donahue, who had the following uests: Mrs. Eleanor Martin, Mrs. J. ?)owney-flnwey, Miss Isabel McKenna, Horace L. Pillsbury and Edward M. Gireen- way. A supperat the Palace Hotel fol- lowed. Jos. D. Grant had a party compris- ing Mr. and Mrs. Slater of New York, Mr. and Mrs. E. Beylard, Mrs. Henry Janin, Jerome A. Hart and James D. Phe- lan, and a third was given by Mr. and Mrs. Frank J. Sullivan, who had for their guests Mr. James Phelan, Miss Phelanand Miss Ada Sullivan. Mr.and Mrs. W. Mayo Newhall gave an elaborate dinner party last Tuesday even- ing at their home on Post street as a com- pliment to Mrs. E. W. Bliss of New York, who has been spending the summer in San Francisco, the gunest of Mrs. Moses Hopkins. Covers were laid for twelve. The table was artistically decoratea with flowers in addition to the rich dinner ser- vice. The guests were: Mr. and Mrs. E. Hopkins, Miss Peckham, Miss Tilden, Miss Laura McKinstry, J. B.

Conner, and Robert Howard Bennett, at 9 o’clock in the evening at Trinity Church, corner of Gough and Bush streets, which will be very largely attended and extremely inter- esting. Miss Conner and Mr. Bennett have been the objects of much interest ever since the announcement of their engage- ment last fali, and although Miss Conner has not gone overmuch into society she has made countless friends, and Robert Howard Bennett is a very popular fellow Miss Edith Conner, sister of the bride, will be maid of honor, and the bridesmaids will be: Miss Sally Maynard, Miss Ethel Smith, Miss Mary Breeze and Miss Blanche Castle. Eaward Bray will act as best man, and the ushers will comprise: Charles P. Hubbard, William Cullen, Aibert E. Con- ner and Rudolph de Ver Mehr. The reception will follow the wedding at the home of the bride’s mother, 2400 Fillmore street, and be quite small.

HEeR LaDYsHIP WILL SING FOR A ‘WEEK AT ONE OF THE THEA- TERS AND Go EAST. Lady Sholto Douglas is to return to the variety stage. Her ladyship is now living quietly in Los Angeles. She pines once more for | popular plaudits, though, and she is to | get them. Her first stage appearance as Lady Sholto Douglas is to be at the Peo- pie’s Theater in this City. There she is to be employed to fill in the wait between one of the acts of *‘Shamus O'Brien,” which is to be staged on Monday, Octo- ber 28, Lady Douglas will be remembered as the variety actress whose marriage to the voung English nobleman caused g0 much uewspaper comment a few months ago. His lordship has had many tribulations over his bride. The first was his arrest on a charge of insanity in Bakerstield, where the young lady was singing in a variety the stage. I do know, though, that her debut in the theateras Lady Sholto Doug- las will be made on October 28.”" Mr. Levy explained further that the *‘girls” referred to in the letter were Lady Douglas’ sisters. Those young ladies are now playing in Denver, Colo. IR A LADY DOUGLAS TALKS. She Sees No Reason Why She Should Not Embrace Her Profession. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Oct. 18.—Lord and Lady Sholto Douglas occupy & very cozy cottage on Pico Heights, and have been living & rather retired life since taking up their residence in Los Angeles. Lady Douglas, when seen this evening regard- ing her appearance on the stage, said: It is true that I contemplate resuming my profession. I have always been in love with it and stillam, and whether I appear as Lady Douglas or under my maiden name I'still think that my devotion to my art and the talent I possess will ultimately carry me through. In the first place like action, and in the quiet life I have led since my marriage have missed the excite- ment and exhilaration that comes from change of scene and life behind the foot- lights. “I have received very fiattering offers from managers all over the coast and every one includes expenses of my hus- band and self, besides a very handsome salary. I see no reason why I should not embrace the opportunity to make a good living as long as I am not separated from Lord Douglas, who can and will be with me at alf‘ times, He has been devotion itself and my married life has been the happiest period in my existence. I have an offer from the Orpheum, which I think I will accept first, and hope that my talent, not my name, will prove to be my drawing quality in Los Angeles. “Please say for me in conclusion that Pl i I/ &a S FAC-SIMILE OF LADY SHOLTO D!

Then followed a siege of | interviewers and artists, who made all manner of fun of the young relative of the Marquis of Queensbury. b All this time the young lady was singing sentimental ballads as Loretta Addis (her real name is Mooney) at a cheap theater. She was under the watchfuleye of Mamma Mooney all the time, however, and the lovers had not much opportunity for bill- ing and cooing. In desperation Lord Sholto then stole away his bride without letting even his mother-in-law-elect know of his intentions, with the result that a large audience was disappointed by the non-appearance of the stars of the perform- ance, ior Lord Sholto, who occupied a box from which he coula gaze fondly at his pretty, black-haired inamorata, was as much of a feature for the show as the girl. The two were married and for a time lived at the country place of a wealchy English gentleman, near the **Blingam” Club. It seemed as if they were to live happily forever after. Buta removal be- came necessary and the young people went to housekeeping in a cottage at Alameda. Lady Sholto became enamored of the charms of bloomers, bicycles and smooth roads and achieved notoriety next as an expert cyclist. There was no ‘“‘bicycle buit for two,” though. In fact, Lord Sholto preferred the more sedate if lessex- citing exercise of watching his spouse ad- miringly from the sidewalk. The outcome of the cycling mania has never been made known, but the young couple moved to Los Angéles, whence nothing has been heard from them till Archie Levy, the amusement agent of this City, received a letter from her Ladyship, containing three postseripts, in which she announced that she wanted a “date.” It is to be noted that Lady Douglas heavily underscores the words, ‘No boxes.”” This is not to mean that she does not approve of the boxes such as the Bald- win and the People’s theaters have. It is rather reminiscent of her Bakersfield ex-. erience, where the ‘‘actresses,”” after oing a *‘turn,” in abbreviated skirts, were expected ' to (Fo into the becurtained *‘boxes” and induce the rural visitor to ex- pend vast sums in the purchase of liquid refreshments. The leiter reads as follows.: Los ANGELES, October 14, 1895, Archibald Levy—DEAR SIR: Can you secure me a date near the girls—no boxes—Answer i1mmediately. Tell me when I can open and what salary best. LADY. SHOLTO DOUGLAS. P. S.—Regards to Ben. Address box 36, Pico Heights, Los Angeles, Cal. 1 would like to go out East.

He did not let his surprise interfere with his getting his client a position, though. He had acted as Lady Douglas’ agent before, and knew ber commercial value. So he at once communicated with George L. Clayton, the manager of the People’s Theater, and as a result aletter wassent to her Ladyship the same afternoon announncing that she was booked toopen at the People’s Theater on Monday. October 28, at $150 a week. ‘I don't know what Lady Douglas’ turn will be,”” said Manager Levy. *‘I suppose it will be song and dance.” “How will you bill he1?"’ “Why, as " Lady Sholto Douglas, of course. I have her permission to do so, and am already wiring Eastern houses in order to fix a route for her under that name.”’ **How about Lord Sholto?” was asked. “I don’t know anything about him. Lady Douglas has not informed me what her husband thinks of her decision. Ido not know, either, why she is returning to THE CALL is the only coast paper that has ever quoted my husband or myself cor- rectly.” Lerd Douglas ‘has completely overcome the aversion he had to his wife’s returning to her profession and may accept in the company she joins a managerial position offered to him. REPORTING THE CLOUDS, PROF. MCAIDE WILL SEND Up KITES AND BATLOONS WITH INSTRUMENTS. STORMS STUDIED ON HIGH. GREAT PLANS OF THE WEATHER BUREAU FOR INVADING THE UNKNOWN UPPER AIR. The Weather Bureau will soon be flying immense kites and sending up free and captive balloons from Mount Tamalpais and from other points all over the country. The Weather Department is hastening preparations for the most striking and in- teresting and perhaps the most valuable sor McAide Will Use. [Drawn from a photograph.] meteorological observations the world has seen. Out here this work of systematically ex- ploring the upper air will begin just as soon as Professor McAide, the new assist- ant to Forecast Official Hammcn, can get settled and turn around a few times, and that may be 1n a very few weeks. Alexander G. McAide, by the way, is a young man of exceeding promise who is already one of the most widely known meteorologists of this country. Of his thirteen years of service in the Weather Bureau only three have been devoted in art to the practical work of forecasting. he rest of the years have been given to scientific study and work for the bureau. When the Smithsonian Institution of- fered $10,000 for the most original discov- ery pertaining to the atmosphere the judges, who included Professor Huxley, B ats sy el hioIiE Yot Europe and Pro- fessor Langley of this country, awarded it to the discoverers of argon. Of the 250 papers presented the judges recommended twenty for honorable mention, and four of these were by Americans. McAide was one of the four, and was the only Ameri- can to receive a bronze medal in addition to honorable mention. But about those kites and balloons. Mr. McAide explained the purpose and plans of the bureau yesterday. Thework is part of the ambitious ideas of Professor Moore, the new chief of the bureau, who has been shaking the seryice up. The service has about reached the limit of advancement as far as observations on the ground are concerned, but above the ound is a great ocean of air that is chuck gll of weather and its causes and effécts, and the forecaster never knows what is going on up there. Mr. McAide has been flying kites about Fort Meyer this summer, mainly to demonstrate the feasibility of it. Ben Franklin’s kite-flying is no criterion. ‘The kites Mr. McAide will bave made and. use will have no tails crackingagainst the clouds. They are improved Malay kites, diamond shaped and about seven feet high. When the kites are sent up there will be self-registering instruments attached to them. A light aluminim thermograph, weighing two pounds, will record in ink on paper the temperature of every minute. One kite can’t carry a very heavy load of machinery very high, because the weight on the string becomes too much; so more kites will be seut up to help.

BALLINGTON BOOTH'S OPIN- ION OF THE MANNISH OR “NEW” WOMAN. YET SHE BELIEVES IN ADVANCE- MENT AND RECOGNITION OF HEeRr SEx. There are women whose inclinations are strongly toward home and family ties, but whom circamstances force into the fray of active public life. Such a woman is the atrractive little leader of the women war- riors of the Salvation Army, Mrs. Balling- ton Booth. She believes in and loves the “womanly woman,’’ and is strongly onowi to the so-called “new womanJ’ She believes the advanced woman, that is the woman of advanced 1deas, has a mission in the world, but has no use for that travesty upon femininity, the mannish woman. Every one who heard her touching illus- tration, taken from an episode of home life, as she gave it at Metropolitan Temple, was impressed by the fact that Mrs. Booth was essentially womanly. ‘‘At the office we are commander and Mrs. Booth,”” she said, ‘“‘but at home we are simply the father and mother of two dear little Sal- vationists.” Mrs. Booth has never taken any public stand in relation to woman suffrage. She will not consent to be interviewed on the subject, because of its political bearings. She approaches the bloomer girl in a deli- cate fashion by saying she “would like to see the women who wears men’s dress give it back to those to whom it belongs.” Her position is that the women soldiers of the Salvation Army are entitled to the same ‘‘honors and emoluments for equal services with men.” .

At Fort Meyer Mr. McAide flew a bevy of kites, eleven in number. ‘With more kites more instruments can be sent up. One kite will carry into the clouds a barograph, which will take notes of and time all changes in barometrical ressure; another kite will attend to the Eumidit_v with a little hydrograph. One of these kites can be turned loose in the wind, sent up a full mile and kept up for hours. % But it takes wind to fly kites and so captive balloons will be necessary at times. Bnt kites and captive balloons cannot get. up more than a mile and it is important to know something about the conditions of the air far above that. So free balloons with those machines for burdens are turned loose. g The Berlin Meteorological Society has experimented with free balloons recently with striking results.

The machine carried by one balloon froze up at a height of seven miles and a temperature of 56 degrees below zero. Other balloons recorded 83 degrees. . Another and an original scheme has just been developed by Chief Moore and his assistants. It is that of harnessing kites and balloons together, and when McAide left Washington recently designs were about completed. s ““Professor Moore’s idea and intention is especially to establish a line of stations along the great storm track across the continent and get as it were vertical sec- tions of the storms.
