To Prove His Innocence.

To Prove His Innocence.
Senior Don Luis f. Corea, minister
from Nicaragua, whose marriage to the
beautiful Mrs. Lee Jordon of Macon
was postponed on account of some
scandalous charges made against him,
has gone to his country to secure proof
of his innocence. He will return in
time to take his place among other
diplomats at the White House on New
Years Day. and it is understood that
the marriage will shortly follow. 1t
is said that Mrs. Jordon has never
doubted the handsome NicaIaguan and
was not in favor of a postponement
of the wedding. but Senior Corea de-
clined to lead her to the altar until
his name could be cleared from
calumny. The future home had been
secured and partly furnished when
that prince of towards, the anonymous
letterwrter, got in his work. If his
object was simply to annoy, he has
certainly accomplished his purpose; if
blackmail was the end in view he will
go unrewarded. Senior Corea's case
is by no means the first of its kind in
the diplomatic circle. Several times in
the past similar ISLANDERS have 'eafn

SIDNEY HERBERT'S LETTER


Pine Crest Villa, Maitland, Fla, Dec.
3.-One week from to-day 1 shall cele-
brate my birthday, having been born
on Dec. 10, 1882. 1 see that my old
associate, Rev. DR.. Theodore L. Guy
Ter of Brooklyn-only ten years older
has been telling about the wonderful
changes he has witnessed and the
great men and eminent women he has
met. And yet have met several great
men and eminent women that did not
cross his pathway, one of whom was
Daniel Webster, the grandest man I
ever met; and Jenny Lind, whom he
and 1 heard on her first night at Cas-
tie Garden, New York, who was the
noblest woman 1 have ever known. 1
mean by this, that in some respects
they eXcelled all other men and women
1 have ever known. All! me, what
an encyclopedia a man becomes who
was born ahead of the railroads and
telegraphs of modern times; who knew
New York city as a town and Detroit
and Chicago as villages, and the great
West as a wilderness. When 1 first
knew Boston hardly a carriage wheel
disturbed the quiet of Sunday services.
And, strange as it may seem, l am
almost a pioneer in Florida. 1 made
my first visit and write up for the
Morning News in 1875, and there was
not then decent railroad in the state,
but they were as good as could be
had with the then limited patronage.

The CampbeII-Leiter wedding.
The much-talked-of marriage of
Miss Nancy Letter at last, like grim
death, "came suddenly" Even after
the gallant Major had arrived in
Washington and secured his marriage
license from the District authorities
the local papers of the evening before
the wedding announced that the mar
riage would probably take place early
in December.
Sometimes it is pleasant to retract
ones own words. Major Colin Powys
Campbell, the happy bridegroom, is not
the elderly cousin of the Duke of Ar
gyle, who married the Princess Louise,
as stated in my previous letter, but is
nearly score of years younger than
his distant relative, Major Colin Charles
Campbell. Surely, 1t is better to be a
not aged bridegroom than to be
brother-in-law to any King on earth.
Colin Campbell' is a name intimately
associated with the history of India.
Everybody remembers the Sir Colin
Campbell, who with his Highlanders,

ny Letters husband as the typical
fighting "Britisher' in appearance were
somewhat disappointed on seeing the
bridegroom. He is blonde and slender
and barely as tall as his wife; but one

Washington, Dec. S.-The entire
corps diplomatique with the ladies of
their families took tea with Mrs.
Roosevelt one evening this week, in
response to invitations issued ten days
before through the State Department.
This bringing of the diplomatic circle
and the Presidents family together in
a semi-informal manner in advance of
the regular season, is a comparatively
new idea, inaugUrated by Mrs. Roose-
welt two years ago. Being not laid
down in the unwritten code of social
etiquette, the religious observance of
which to the minutest detail, it is as
the laws Of the Modes and Persians.
1t is an entirely gratuitous attention
on the part of the hostess and en-
ables the foreigners to make the ac-
quaintance of the heads of the Amer
lean Court" in a more personal and
agreeable way than would be possible
at a state dinner.
