Corey's Lurid Exploits.

Some time afterward MI. Corey gave
Mr.. Schwab a Lucullian feast. The
costliest wines, the daintiest dollhouse
fruits and the rarest flowers were lib
orally provided. The walters wore
colonial costumes with powdered wigs,
and the souvenirs were silver card
cases. Previous to this, however, MI.
Corey had emulated other Pittsburg
rich men by figuring in a swimming
party Of which Miss Maybelle Gilman,
an actress, was a member. The party
took place at the Pittsburg natatorium.
There were hot birds and cold bottles
and some very pretty exhibitions OF
plain and fancy swimming.
At this party an infatuation for Miss
Gilman is said to have sprung up on
the part Of the millionaire. An es-
arrangement took place between MI.
and Mrs. Corey supposedly on account
Of Miss Gilman, and at present Mrs.
Corey is in the west, where she is re-
siding with a view to securing a d.
vorce.
During the course of business in
Pittsburg Andrew Carnegie trans
formed Gibson D. Packer from a poor
man into a millionaire. Mr.. Packer
did not miss his chance to get before
the public. Mrs. Mary l. Vetter, armed.
1t is said, with 14O love letters, pre-
pared to sue Mr.. Packer for 500, 900 for
breach of promise. There were many
pledges of affection in the shape of
jewelry.
Contemporaneously with the Thaw
murder Mrs. Scott Hartje, the wife of
Augustus Hartje, Pittsburg millionaire
paper manufacturer, has begun suit
against her husband for divorce. Mrs.
Hartje says that her husband wore
paper collars for years; that he would
buy a $500 horse over the telephone
and the next minute refuse Mrs.
Hartje's request for three dollars for a
pair of shoes. Some of the charges of
both Mr.. and Mrs. Hartje cannot be
printed here.

That settled 1t. Mr.. Clarke waxed
wroth and left his bride.
Mrs. Clarke afterward sued for and
obtained a divorce, after which she be-

Miss Katherine Willoughby. of st.
Augustine, Fla, thus closing another
chapter of Pittsburg millionaire sensa-
tionalism.
Career Of A. r. Peacock.
Mr.. Alexander Rowland Peacock is
another Smoky City candidate for
fame. Mr.. Peacock is worth many mil
lions of dollars. When he came to
New York he evidently made up his
mind to live up to the traditions and
habits of the lively Pittsburgers who
had preceded him. To p%erpetuate his
name he had a $17, 900 peacock made
of genuine diamonds, sapphires and
emeralds and gave 1t to his wife. He
also had a peacock put on the livery of
his servants.
They tell how when Mrs. Carnegie
was buying her wedding trousseau in
this city years ago she was waited
upon by a handsome young saleswom-
an to whom she told her secret.
"Im to be married, too" confessed
the young woman. "That is my in
tended over Therein. Peacock"
That's a Scotch name," said the
future Mrs. Carnegie. Where does he
come from?"
From Dunfermline, ma'am," replied
the salesgirl. Andrew Carnegie
learned about the incident, and in due
time the ironmaster brought Peacock
to Pittsburg and made the fioorwalker
a millionaire.
At the Waldorf one morning Mr..
Peacock was discovered scribbling on a
sheet of paper in the writing-room. A
friend asked him what he was doing.
"Oh, my wife at breakfast ust now
insisted that I was worth SIC, 900 900.

Married Mothers Maid.
John Aston Moorhead Is one Of the
latest. He was a heavy man on the
Yale football team and also pulled in
the crew. He did anything else
to deserve particular distinction. Only
a few weeks ago he eloped with his
mothers French maid. They have
not been entirely forgiven yet, but it
is understood that John Aston is be-
ing treated in a New York sanitarium,
his father paying the bills. and it is
said the little French maid is crying

Pennsylvania produce the real stunning faces that freshen up the
chorus ranks from time to time.
Indiana is another state that despite its malaria and swamps pro-
duces~some remarkable beauties, and Ohio has almost as great a rep
resentation by its good looking girls on the stage as it has by its men
in politics. Colorado has contributed some peaches" as the term
goes, and California seems to have a pretty-grl atmosphere when you
come to count the amount of San Francisco girls who lead in beauty
contests on the stage.
There is a distinct difference in the temperament OF the girls who
come from the interior states, so-caned, and that of the girls OF New
York or California. There is something in the spirit of the girls from
these latter places that seems to impel them to go on and up in the
work they have chosen, and they are looking for a chance to improve
and take advantage of their beauty to shine as "stars," while the girls
from the interior states are always looking for a chance to get married.
The New York girl has a chicness and a pdt that none Of the
other types possess, but the reputation the New York girl has in the
Wild world for the beauty Of her as an entirety is due to the constant
migration Of the pretty girls from the country who come to New York

Kidnapped His Children.
Following the return of Mrs. Phipps
to this country, her two little children
were forcibly taken from the Waldorf
Astoria by Mr.. Phipps and hurried
away to Denver, where he had resided
for some time. 1t was openly stated
that when the divorce proceedings
were over Mrs. Phipps would marry
Hart Mckee, but in the meantime that
eccentric young man had become en-
thralled with Mrs. Hugh Tevis, who
a few years previous had been wed
and widowed within six weeks.
Mrs. Tevis and Mr.. Mckee sailed
away to Europe on the same steamer,
and shortly afterward were married.
Things were rather dull in the Pitts
burg colony for awhile until Mrs.
Phipps went out to Denver, where the
divorce case was brewing.
Mrs. Phipps began a contest for the
possession of the children, but event
ually terms were reached under which
a divorce was granted IN the ground
of desertion. Then almost before their
friends had ceased talking about their
case Mr.. and Mrs. Phipps made up,
and it is said that they will be re-
married. This seems to have finished
the calendar of sensations as far as the
Phipps and Mckee millionaires are
concerned.
Another Pittsburg millionaire who
had a varied and noteworthy career
was James King Clarke, known to his
friends as Jamie"
Young Clarke inherited a part of
the millions of his father, Charles ].
Clarke, of Pittsburg. He was in the
habit of spending a part of his time
in Washington, and it was there that
he met Miss Esther Bartlett. They
were married on April 26, 1899, in
Washington, and with the best man,
Macintosh Kellogg, j%ourneyed to New
York, where they took rooms at one
of the big hotels.
AS related by Clarke in the suit for
divorce, which began a month later,
upon their arrival in this city he left
his bride in his room with Mr.. Kellogg
while he went downstairs to look after
some baggage. He was detained for
some time. On his return he found the
door locked, and when it was finally
opened Mr.. Kellogg's shirt front was
stained with the violets which Mrs.

Remarkable divorces, remarriages,
breaches of promise, alimony and
chorus girls have hitherto been or
binary features of their lives. They
seem to have become rich so suddenly
that they have lost their heads. Never
before, however, has any one of them
been accused of murder.
Years before Harry Thaw ever heard
of Evelyn Nesbit or Stanford White he
was eccentric to the verge of crazi-
ness. He was known as a cigarette
fend, a heavy absinthe drinker, an adj
mirer of chorus girls and a reckless
spendthrift. He gave dinners costing
tens of thousands of dollars, and like
the general run of Pittsburg million
aires he always had one or more "af-
fairs" on hand with women of the foot
lights.
1t is a strange fact that chorus girls
and actresses seem to appeal to the
Pittsburg millionaire past all power OF
resistance. Four Of them who have
made New York their home during the
past few years, and whose wealth
amounts to $500 0 900 in the aggre-
gate, have become infatuated with stage
beauties more or less widely known
throughout the country, according to
the World of that city.
Three of them have married &C.
tresses, and the infatuation of the
fourth for a beauty of the footlight is
being used against him in divorce pro-
ceedings. Although Harry Thaw was
probably the widest among the Pitts
burg high rollers who have sowed in
the wild winds of the Tenderloin
young Hart Mckee was almost as well
known. but in a different way.
Forgot Marital Obligations.
His father, e. Sellers Mckee, a null
ti-millionaire glass manufacturer OF
Pittsburg, supplied him with practical
ly limitless funds, with which the
young man proceeded to cut a wide
swath. He was handsome, dapper and
fastidious, with the red and white com
plexion of a healthy girl. Soon after
leaving college he married a Miss SUIT
ton, from whom he separated a year
or two afterward, giving her 5000, 00O
outright in lieu of alimony.
In Mrs. McKee's allegations against
her husband she testified that he was
not with her much during the two
years of their married life, and that he
became more ~neglectful as time pro-
ceeded. Finally Mrs. Mckee left him,
