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
f1end, a heavy absinthe drinker, an ad
mirer of chorus girls and a reckless
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 $50,000,0OO 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 ac-
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 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 100000
" 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-
4 ceeded. Finally Mrs. Mckee left him,
towing to his entire neglect" She

cumulating much money which they
lend on notes and mortgages.
But John Foster Rhynus often saw
the pretty little Phillips girl on ner
way to and from the district school
at the crossroads aad her sweet face
and attractive figure set him to fgur-
ing: -Four It's are 68, but what's
the difference-only 51.'
Rhynus brought the girl here on her
first visit to town recently. 1t may
be his ardent mind had planned a
runaway match. He asked Elmer D.
Gildersleeve, the Quaker minister
here, to marry them. Mr.. Gildersleeve
refused and advised them to be mar
ried by a minister at home. Though
disappointed the old bachelor took the
miss to Albany and back on steam
bdAt-the day boat. Returning to
Millbrook, he asked and obtained her
parents consent.

accorded the rest of the crew O'Brien

Subordinates in government Offices in Wash
fngton have way of getting even with superors
whom they do not like. With every appearance
of faithful performance of their work, they can
still SO retard it and mix it up as to show a
mighty poor record for their chief and at the
same time make it very difficult for their own
movements to be discovered. The latest exhibi
tion of this method Of getting even' was in
the case of Public Printer Stillings and occurred
the last day of congress. Since Stillings was
brought to Washington and put at the head of
the public printing Office, there has been great
friction between him and the subordinates in
that establishment. He was given his position
on the promise of inaugurating great reforms,
and most of his time has been spent in reorgan-
izing the force and in fighting with various
niuati with he

A spirit of sadness spread over the senate in
the closing hours of the last session, because of
the absence Of William Boyd Allison, the ven
cradle senator from Iowa. and for 80 years
member of the senate. This veteran statesman
was with the deepest sorrow that his colleagues
saw him compelled to yield the leadership on
appropriation bills to another For many, many
years Mr.. Allison has been chairman of the
senate committee on appropriations, and in that
position has directed the distribution Of billions
of dollars. No man in the senate understood
the construction of appropriation bills and what
were necessary expenditures so we'll as he.
It is feared that the final break has come
and that Mr.. Allison will never again be able to
assume the leadership that he has held in the

WASHINGTON.-One of the old men of the
senate who does not rush off Immediately upon
the adjournment of congress is Senator Red
field Proctor, of Vermont The reason he does
not join the early exodus after congress adjourns
is that he has some of his principal business
interests in this city. No one knows how
wealthy Mr.. Proctor is, as he is as mum as
piece of his own granite or marble regarding
his personal affairs, but by inheritance and by
his own acquisition he is the largest individual
owner and dealer in marble and granite in the
world. He is very fond Of these two stones, and
he is gradually putting them into buildings of
considerable consequence here in Washington.
He owns many granite and marble front houses
and has just completed very large apartment
house with glistening white marble front.

1t is regarded as something of an advan-
tage for man in the senate or house to have
had experience in the administrative branch of
the government. The senate is right we'll off
in this regard, as there are at present five, ex
cabinet officers in that body men who have had
to do with the administration of government and
whose practical knowledge of executive affairs
is OF great benefit in the consideration of legis
lation Probably the most effective of these ex-
cabinet officers is Senator Knox, who was at
torney general under the late President Nc
Kinley and under President Roosevelt. His ex
perience in that Office secured him an appoint
ment> to the Judiciary committee and to the
committee on interoceanic canals and privileges
and elections, where legal knowledge is Of par
ticular advantage.
