WORK TO LIFE OF EASE.

Groomed Man.

New York.-"What has become of
Admiral George Dewey and what is
he doing now?"
This inquiry, sent to st. Louis
newspaper, elected the following in
formation:
Taken all in all there is perhaps nc
man In the United States in the serv-
Ice of the government or out of it who
Is in a more enviable position than
is Admiral Dewey Congress has
given him the rank, pay and allow.
ances of an admiral of the navy, re-
viving the rank for his benefit. He Is
absolutely independent of the secre
tary Of the navy and of the president
of the United States.
He cannot be retired and he cannot
be disciplined by reduction in rank
or any of the other usual means EN-
ployed. The place gives him an an.
nual income of $15,500.
If he chose to do so he could close
down his desk, go home and never
turn his hand over in the way OF
work, either for the navy or anyone
else, and his pay and allowances would
go on as long as he lives; but the
admiral prefers to work and to work
hard.
He Is at the head of the navy gen.
eral board, charged with the duty of
devising general plans for improve
ment of the navy, the management of
the ships, the handling of officers and
men, and the control of the great gov
eminent shipyards. Every day when
he is not at sea for the maneuvers
he Is at his desk in his Office or at
tending to the meetings of the board.
Admiral Dewey is much loved and
much respected. He Is a dapper lit
tie fellow, not much more than five
feet in height. His clothes fit him
like the naval uniform, without crease
or bag anywhere.
They do say that the admiral's Chi
nese valet has no less than 90 new

MILLIONAIRES GO PACE THAT KILLS

sprang up between Mr.. Phipps and his
wife The breach gradually widened,
and Mr.. Phipps brought suit for di-
vorce, naming Hart Mckee as CO.
respondent. Pittsburg society was
disrupted by the news, and the Nc
Kee and Phipps factions waxed bitter
in their denunciations.
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 contest for the
possession of the children, but event
ually terms were reached under which

colonial costumes with powdered wigs,
and the souvenirs were silver card
cases. Previous to this, however, Mr..
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 natatoriGm.
There were hot birds and cold bottles
and some very pretty exhibitions of
plain and fancy swimming.
At this party an inratuation for Miss
Gilman is said to have sprung up on
the part of the millionaire. An es-
arrangement took place between Mr..
and Mrs. Corey supposedly on account

the millionaire oil producer, of Pitts
burg, distinguished himself by COM
hitting a burglary.
The suicide of young f. O'C. Jones,
the only son of the millionaire steel
man of Pittsburg, a few weeks ago, fit
tingly rounds out the record of the
young Smoky City high rollers. He
had lost his mind because of his love
for his first cousin, a charming Pitts
burg girl. He killed himself when she
married another.
This almost eXhausts the crop OF
Pittsburgs gilded youths, but there Is
a new crowd growing up. They are as
yet in knickerbockers.

ness. He was known as a cigarette
fiend, 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 $50,0O0,000 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 carried ac-
tresses, and the infatuatl ii 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 healthy girl. Soon after
leaving college he married Miss SUIT
ton, from whom he separated year
or two afterward, giving her $4,000
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,
lowing to his entire neglect" She
made affidavit that he cut off her per-
sonal allowance and household allow
ance and put at the head of the house
hold a butler, who was Objectionable
and very insolent, and over whom she
had no control. He was given the
money to pay the servants, and was
empowered to hire and discharge them.
Mrs. Mckee protested, but was told
that she had no power to discharge
him.
Mckee became acquainted with Mrs.
Genevieve Phipps, the wife of Law
renee Phipps, another Pittsburg mil
lionaire, then living in Denver. Nc
Kee and Mrs. Phipps were frequently
seen together, and an estrangement

Piftsburg Men of Wealth
Unequaied in Furnishing
Sensations for the Lovers
of ScanddI-AAurements
of Painted Stage Beauties
Fatal to Domestic Peace
and Harmony.

New York-Now that the crime of
murder has been added to the eccen-
trio doings of the dozen or more Pitts
burg millionaires, it is probable that
the limit of their capacity for sensa-
tionalism has been reached.
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

divorce was granted on the ground
of desertion. Then almost before their
friends had ceased talking about their
case Mr.. and Mrs. PhipEs 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 varied and noteworthy career
was James King Clarke, known to his
friends as Jamie"
Young Clarke inherited a part of
the nSillions 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, journeyed 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.. Kelloggs shirt front was
stained with the violets which Mrs.
Clarke wore as a corsage bouquet
That settled it. Mr.. Clarke waXed
wroth and left his bride.
Mrs. Clarke afterward sued for and
obtained a divorce, after which she be-
came the wife of L. T. Whitehead, of
Erie, Pa. Mr.. Clark then married a
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 perpetuate his
name he had a $4,000 peacock made
of genuine diamonds, sapphires and
emeralds and gave it to his wife. He
also had a peacock put on the livery of
his servants.
Once Mr.. Peacock was in Los An
geles. There were only upper berths
left in the train to Chicago. Give me
a special train, then" he ordered.
"It'll cost $4,000" said the passenger
agent.
| I'm take it," replied Peacock. I'M
