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 1. Vetter, armed,
it 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. $1,000 horse over the telephone
and the next minute refuse Mrs.
Hartje's request for three dollars for a

Charles Clarke, son of Mrs. Eliza
Clarke, cousin of James King Clarke,
married Miss Elizabeth Stocking, of
Atlanta, Ga. "Chic," as he was known,
was a jolly good fellow. Before his
marriage he tried newspaper work in
Pittsburg. He essayed publication
similar to Town Topics, lit the United
States could only stand one such at a
time, and the Pittsburg production died
and the owner was in debt. Times
went hard with him about the time
he married, and he apparently lost all
his money, it being tied up in legal
broils. Either he tired of his wife or
she tired of him.
At any rate, he sued for divorce and
told that he had endeavored to main
tain the two by doing the family cook
ing in a chafing- dish in their little
room over in Allegheny. He got his
divorce, and the next day the wife be-

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. :.

- Married Mothers Maid.
John Aston Moorhead is one Of the
latest. He was heavy man on the
Yale football team and also pulled in
the crew. He never did anything else
to deserve particular distinction. Only
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

f1end, heavy absinthe drinker, an ad-
mirer of chorus girls and 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 $5O,0OO,OO0 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 well
known, but in different way.
Forgot Marital Obligations.
His father, E. Sellers Mckee, null
ti-millionaire glass manufacturer of
Pittsburg, supplied him with PRACTICAL
1y limitless funds, with which the
young man proceeded to cut wide

,:fastidious, with the red and white COM
: plexion of healthy girl. Soon after
leaving college he married 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,
owing to his entire neglect She
made AFFIDAVIT that he cut. of her per-

and very insblent, and over whom she
had no control. He was given the
money to pay the servants, and was
empowered to hire and discharge them.

that she had no power to discharge
him. 4.. 8 s.. Tjs5 Mi

Another Pittsburg millionaire who

Young Clarke inherited part of

he met Miss Esther Bartlett. : They

As related by Clarke in the suit for

upon their arrival in this city he left

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.. Kel4ogg's shirt front was

You are heartily welcome here. not

Outdoor education, playground training-I
wish there were some more definite and
expressive word for what we mean-has
time 1t has won the interest of philan
thropists and municipalities. These gar
dens of children repay richly the cultiva-
tiOn given them. Here in the national
capital we have made modest beginning,
first, through the generosity of our public
spirited citizens, which demonstrated the
necessity and value of the public play
ground, and, then, through municipal CO.
operation. Your presence here and your
reports of the greater things done else
where will stimulate our endeaVCrS. If
Congress responds TO our appeal, as we
hope. We shall soon bring the capital into
marching time with the progressive cities
OF the country which lead in this matter"
