Milwaukee.-The United States
court has been asked to take charge
of the safety fund of the Milwaukee
Mechanics Insurance company and
.disburse it in the interest of all pol
icy-hQlders, those at San Francisco
and elsewhere. Suit, the first of its

Ira M. Cobe, of Chicago, and Edward
w. McGraw, of San Francisco, who
were sufferers in the San Francisco
fire.
Following the suit the Milwaukee
Mechanics announced that it would
withdraw from California owing to
the danger from eal thquakes, and
also because of the law Of personal
liability of stockholders imposed by
the California legislature, which the
California authorities are trying to
enforce.

Mr.. Schwab a Lucullian feast. The

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 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 Mr..
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 di-
vorce.
During the course of business in
Pittsburg Andrew Carnegie trans
formed Gibson D. Packer from a poor

did not miss his chance to get before

pared to sue Mr.. Packer for 100000 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, mas begun suit
against her husband for divorce. Mrs
Hartie says that her husband wore
paper collars for years; that he would
buy a $1,000 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

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
fiend, 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 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 $50,000,000 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 married &C
tresses, and the infatuation of the
fourth for 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 we'll
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 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-
ceeded. Finally Mrs. Mckee left him,
lowing to his entire neglect" She

Alarmed Over Smallpox.

Milwaukee.-The village of Wau-
watosa and the summer resorters at
Pewaukee lake, which is in favor with
Chicagoans, are in something of a
panic because of a smallpox scare in
both places. The Milwaukee health
commissioner found that three cases
existed at Wauwatosa and that one
family of which member is afflicted
with the disease violated the ordi-
nances and went to take possession OF
their summer home at Pewaukee lake

Kidnapped His Children.

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 a contest for the
possession of the children, but event.
ually terms were reached under which
a divorce was granted on 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 j.
Clarke, of Pittsburg. He was in the
habit of spending 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 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.
