NUUsaslrf sa4 His mask
M«w York WorU: Somewhere on
ths Mas ocean that still divides tlie
Old World from ths New, in spite of
the marvel ions efforts of human skill
to bridge it. the magnificent City of
Paris Is plunging through the white cape
and gliding over the great rollers of the
daepaaa with a little world of wealth,
beauty, intellect and fame on her decks
and ’-J her cabins. Even in the greater
world which embraces two continents
there Is no more interesting group thsn
the tarn which fills to-dsy s modest place
on that floating palace. It is a mother
with her two sons, the apples of her two
eyas, dearer to her tender heart and fairer
in her sight thsn all the millions which
her husband has piled up far her. The
mother of the Gracchi was no prouder of
her boys thsn is Mrs. John W. Mscka>
of William aod Clarence, who are to be
come, la a month or two. undergraduate*
at Yale or Harvard.
Hera on abort, waiting patiently bat
eagerly far news from bis loved one*
with whom in mid-ocean not even s cable
king may communicate, a great-souled
and broad-shouldered American, so anti
monopolist millionaire, an ez-Unifed
States senator, who is still a miner not
disdainful of the pick: a money king who
is still no plutocrat, a telegraph magnati
who pots the interests of the public be
fore the rate of tolls, strides down Broad
way from his hotel, workca, plans, gifes.
with his eye* and his heart still down
the hay, however closely his brains keep
occupied with facts and figure*. One
might think John W. Mackey so rare a
figwe in these days of millions and misery
that he would make a stir on Broadway
and be borne aloft on strong men’s
shoulders so the people might see a mil
lionaire who b still a man uf aid far the
people. But Mackey walks down town
without attracting as much attention as a
bank maaaengrr carrying other people’s
money- John W. Mackey b reputed to
have a good many millions of his own to
carry.
The Hear, steel-fray eyes, the big iron
gray moustache, the tali, well knit form,
the massive shoulders sod the active
Agars betoken In Mackay as he mover
easily through the throng a man still
young In yean and in his maturity of
strength. Here to a man whose rouse to
are as inn, whose eye to as bright, whose
arm to as strong, whose endurance la as
great as before be made the money that
would by example have given him the
right to be flabby and blear-eyed, de
bauched and dyspeptic, close-flsted ami
souHoogued. Even your little two and
three millionaires are apt to get that way.
But this la a millionaire of a different
model, one might even any a mold mil

and nnapoltod as it was when be left Dob

ymm ago am* came over the seas to the
New World to become apprentice to Webb,
the great Mew York ship-builder.
What a difference there is in the lot oi
that lad who came alone across seas
nearly forty yean ago and the two who
are now coming with their mother! Bone
of hto bone and fleab of hto flesh, the
Min Mackay who arrived in Mew York,
And by a desire to make money enough
•» comfort hto mother's declining years,
will welcome in a day or two William
and Clarence Mackay, aged ten and six
teen, almost their father's ags whan he
preceded them, chips of the old block,
boys of brawn as wdl as brain, with
hearts lor the work of which their father
doesn’t And ten hours a day too much
for him..
The Mackay boys have had all the
school lag a mother's can awf a father's
khre could give them in the Old World.
They are coming now for a thoroughly
American college education. When that
to flaishsd they will go to work, for work
la John W. Mackey’s idea of man’s mis
sion la the world. No fmhkmablc idlers
or drawing-room dudes lor him. Uls boys
are of sterner stuff. Their father to many

battle la the workaday world. William
Ibcfcaj la expected and expects to go
brio bis father's business la tbla coontry. *
This gives him n very wide field of choke. *
He May become a miner or a mine super- c
iafanJtnt or a mining engineer in the !
Comstock lode, in which his father's nerve
and.endoranee developed the bonanza
which has bred millionaires as a carrasa ‘
breeds Wow-fTe*. Or be may become a
hank dark, or a cashier, or even president
of the famous Nevada Bank of Ban Fran- 1
dot* where John W. Mackay’s millions '
often lie even anted. Or he may become (
U| an operator ar a supervisor and manager
of the Mackay cables, which made the
first breach fa the gteat American tele
graph monopoly. Or he may become so
afirial or even manager and head of the
pootal-teieKrßph system which ie in the
west and south daily deepening and
videoing those breaches and laying foun
dations an which the people may erect
their bnttaringraini to knock down all
■Ms of monopolies and plutocratic op
pression. There ore plenty of other open
laga far young William Mackay in bis
lather's bosinssa. His father alone knows
what all that business la.
bis natural that William Mackay should
ha nmbktous to follow in his father's foot
steps. In person be is much like his
father. Clarence, on the other hand, in
. Moat Ilka his mother in physique. Both
have their father's courage and honesty,
their Mother's true-hearted gentleness of
disposition. For six years past they have
had the beet private tutor* to be found in
London and Paris. They will now re
ceive the beet education American col
leges afford. They have lived abroad all
! tbeir lives, bat thsy arsgsauios» Ysaks*
Doodle*/' both of them, and genuinely
attached to mad proud of the country of
whose womanhood tbeir mother is such
an ornament. Mo boys o* whom aorb a
mother had kvbbed a lifetime of car*
and lore could well help being all tliat
her tenderness would wish them. They
are pleasant in person, gentle in manners,
bright In conversation. The rich man’s
son has almost become a type in the
American civilisation of to-day. But it
Is a very different type horn that of which
John W. Mackey's sons are specimens.
Senator Jones, of Nevada, and Senator
Stanford, of California, are also fortunate
enough to have bad sons who were not
spoiled by the prospect of inheriting
millions.
But, after ail, there b nothing like hav
ing the right sort of mother in charge of
boys who are not to be spoiled. The
danghtcrof Major Hungerford, of Downie
vilb, Cal., was a handsome and accom
p.bbed woman in person, though a young
girl In years when she was married in
Downbvilb to Dr.W.C.Bryant, a nephew
of William Cullen Bryant. As the Widow
Bryant, her talented young husband hav
ing Mien s victim to the harshness of
frontier lib, Marie Louise Haoxerford.
with her little da i <hter, Eva, was more
attractive personally than ever. It was
no wonder that John W. Mackay, already
a miner of means, should fall in fore with
and marry her. and adopt os hb own the
sweet child, who has grown up to become
the Countess Colon us.
The fart that Mrs. Mackay has for a
mod many years resided abroad has
made no difference in the faithful love
whk b knit her heart fa that of the stonly
miner years ago in the Sierras. Never a
day goes by in summer or winter, in sun
shine or in storm, without husband and
wife exchanging cable meaaages. Her
daughter, Eva Cofonna. resides In Parb
with the prince, her husband, and to be
with all her children Mrs. Mackay has
made her nominal home there. The home
of her heart b wherever John W. Mackay
happens to be. To her husband, her chil
dren nod her church—she b n devoted
Catholic —Mrs. Mackay has new faltered
in devotion. And all the while she lias
achieved social triuiuphs which no otlier
\merican ever knew at the courts of the
Old World. ** Why shouldn’t she have
social ambition T” her friends say. Why.
indeed. They are nobler than the am*
hit ion to pile up money for money's sake,
or the passion for intrigue, or the fad for
eowntricity.
It makes Col. Tom Ochiltree, who to a
warm personal friend of both Mr. and
Mn. Mackay, aa furious as a red rag does
a boll to have any one in hto presence
question their loyalty to American insti-|
Cations.
“ There to no n»orw patriotic or loyal
American gentleman in all this land than
John W. Mackay,” said " Col. Toro” yes
terday. ”He is proud of bis country and
would give hto last dollar and his last
drop of blood in his veins to help her in
any hoar of need. He to here now to
meet Mrs. Mackay, who will be a passen
ger on the City of Paris with her two
boys. Willie and Clarence an both
bright, intelligent and thorough gentle
man and a credit to the charming and ac
complished mother, who has devoted
herself personally for many yean to their
care and education. Those who have
only heard of Mn. Mackay as a brilliant
leader of society have no conception of
her many noble domestic qualities. Hav
ing had the honor of being her guest at
her own chateau in France. I know where
of I apeak when I say that in addition to
her splendid endowments t» a society
leader she has a loving, charitable heart,
fche to of that staff of which the mother
ot Gracchi was made. Mn. Macksy’s
jewels are famous even in Paris and Lon
don. the ottos of gems. But her Jewels
are her children.’*
It was shout 10 o’clock in the morning,
and Mackay hlmaell hove in sight walk
log down Brand way. He was on hto way
to the Nevada Bank’s Wall street office,
just below the custom boose. About 3in
the afternoon be cornea op Wall street
and walks uptown. He doesn’t look l.ke
a roan of imagination, but rather a monu
ment to will power. Who would have
thought that that active, shrewd business
man was so soft-hearted that the mere
tale of Edwin Adams's distress in 6to last
days In flan Francisco could more the
Bonansa King to send him a check for
S6OOO and a letter which Adams read and

. Detroit Fm Fit"; “It is cheaper to
rent than it Is to buy,” la the remark of
many persons when asked If they own the
house in which they live. There is some
truth in the ststeuient. It is undeniably
true alien the maker has bis money in
some business where more can be profit
ably used, and from which the retoraa
from the investment are greater than from
real estate. But with this exception, it
may In set down os a general proposition
that, apart from all other considerations,
and there are many of weight, it pays a
man to own a home—to hate a spot which
he can abaolutaly call hb own.
The natnral tendency of man b to live
op to tbeir meana. There ate a law whose
im-omes are so large that, to oat a popular
expression, “ they do not know what to
do with It,” whkh meana that H b greater
than can possibly be expanded for main
tenance alone; but the average mortal
readily finds an outlet for the whole of hb
income. Whether a part of H goaa la
payments on a house, or to the owner for
its use, the year finds it all absorbed in
one way or another. But If a man deter
mines to have a home for himself, he must
—assuming that lie has a small income
shape his resources to that end. Little
by little be makes progress, until finally
he lias a roof over hb head which he can
actually mil hb own—has » substantial
stake in the community, and has laid a
solid foundation toward a competency. In
many cases he Is Jo* t a home better off
than he would be if be bad continued to
act upon the theory that it b “ cheaper to
rent than to buy.”
Desirable as it is in the city (or s man
to be the owner of a home, it b even more
so in ths country, where one gets his liv
ing from the land. In this country. Os
vet, the actual occupiers of agricultural
lands are, in the great majority of cases,
the owners thereof. This is n greet factor
in our national strength ami prosperity.
There is no man who has justly more right
to feel independent than be who has tlie
means of providing at first hand all the
necessities of Ufa fur himself and family.
Every man who makes bis living from the
first fruits of the earth should strive, if he
do not now, to own the land be tills.
Even now, in sou>* sections of the coun
try, llte delusion that renting is more eco
nomical has led many men into a relax
ation of effort, with the result that, in
stead of themselves keeping their noses
to the grindstone with a reasonable hope
of respite in the future, they are com
pelled to keep them there with little pros
pect of relief. There are exceptional cases
to which these remarks do not apply, but,
the general rule is as stated. With very
limited qualifications to meet such cases,,
it should be the aim of every young man
to get a home for himself; and there are
many men no longer young, w ho, if they
would but set about it. would find the
procurement of a home much easier, and
its possession much more satisfactory,
than they have supposed.
