So with the few exceptions that

Not long ago the world held It's breath

Was she married? Papa Zimmerman

sailed to this country. will you tell me
how she could have been married?"
II was suggested that the marriage
took place on the Wednesday before,
which the millionaire denied, but
which. II turned oat. was Just what
had happened. The young people had
decided to get married. but to keep the
ceremony secret until the bride could
go to Cincinnati. But the suddenness
OF the ceremony and the secrecy had

Miss Van Aliens Victory.
In the late notorIety OF young Rob-
ert Collier 1t was remembered what
a strenuous opposition was put up
against him as a son-in-law by James
Van Allen. Mrs. Van Allen was the
daughter of Mrs William Astor, and
1t has been said that Mr.. James Van
Allen Is one of the most snobbish men
In America. He refused the ofYer of
Grover Cleveland to send him as min
lister to Italy. and, like William Wal
dorf Astor. he has decided that Eng
land is the only place to live in and
bring up his family. When his young
est daughter, Sara. fell In love with
Robert Collier. his only objection to
the young man was because he was
Irish. The rumor OF their engagement
was at first scorn:uily denied by the

But no. Without any possible way

to make any harsh judgment of his

Frank Work and His Daughter.

lish son-in-law. II was in 1881 that n
tall. handsome young man visited New
York and laid siege to his beautiful
daughter. The father opposed the
match with all his might. but they
were married and went to London. 1t
was only n little while after that
Mr.. Work was sending them $1,000 u
year to live on. a little later he in
creased 1t to $4,000. Then he cut of
all allowances. He said his daughter
had married man who never could
or never would make n living. and that
he was tired OF furnishing allowances
and paying bills at the same time.
With the "wherewithal" cut OF, Mrs.
Burke Roche soon returned with her
children. She weut straight to the
house on Twenty-sixth street. In
1891 she obtained divorce from her
husband in Delaware. and ever since
has been living at her fathers house
as its beautiful mistress. As has late
ly come forth, she has had little spoiled
ways OF her own ever since which
were not exactly in accord with the
fussy notions OF an old man. He has
flown into a rage at her more than
once, which is not anything remark

81 years old. But she Is her fathers
daughter, and, moreover, she Is not in

Capt. Mark Casio was being congrat-
ulated on his gift of $500 from the
Carnegie here fund for bravery in the
wreck OF the Cherokee. relates the
New York Tribune.

Capt. Casio with modest smile. 1T

he came home at three O'Clock In the
morning.
The man came home very quietly.

front doorstep. Then he unlocked the
door and went cautiously and slowly
upstairs on his tiptoe. holding his
breath.
But light was streaming through
the kephole of the door OF the bed

he opened the door and entered.

Van Aliens.
Mr.. Van Allen was obdurate. and, nj.
though his daughter declared she
would marry him ara nobody else. she
was whisked OF to Europe in the hope
that she would forget him. Instead
he followed. and she laid such siege
to her father that he looked on 4,
with little more favor. She returned
home. where she exercised the grand
coup and won over her grandmother
Mrs. William Astor. She also Joined
the Roman church. Finally. one day
with n bad grace and perhaps because
he had to, but none the less because
he was managed. James Van Allen cap
ituiated.
1t was not. however. until the day
OF the marriage, when he reluctantly
gave the bride away Mt civil mar
riage in the drawing-room OF n hotel.
None OF Mr.. Golfers family was pres
ent, and Immediately afterwards n sec
ond marriage took place at st. Mary's
Roman Catholic church, at which Mr..
Golfers parents were present and Mr..
Van Allen remained away.
Charles oelrichs was forced to give
in in much the same way TO his daugh-
ter Lily when she became Mrs. Peter
ID. Martin. He. contrary to the other
papns. had marked her out for a titled
Englishman. But she took n desperate
fancy to the young Californian. who,
although he had some wealth and posi-
ton in the western state, had only re-
Gently acquired 1t.
Miss Lily. who is beautiful blonde
announced from the first that she in
tended to marry Mr.. Martin. but her
parents tried the same tactics OF freez-
ing out that had prevailed at Papa Van
Aliens. Three times the engagement
was announced. and twice the we'd
ding day was set, and then It was
postponed, and young Mr.. Martin
returned to California. But at last
they had to give IN TO Miss Lily. and
the ceremony, postponed once more
for n week, finally came on. But
through 1t all Charles Oelrichs never
acted ugly.
Romances Without Opposition.
or course when Miss Frederick Webb
married Ralph Pulitzer, and when Miss
Caroline Phelps Stokes married Rob-
ert Hunter they did not at first re-
ceive much opposition, as they had Diff
ferent parental material to deal with.
DR.. Steward Webb always has been
noted for his progressiveness. and he
and his daughter Frederica always
have held the same ideas as to the
uses OF money in the world, 30 that
marrying a fortune was not consid-
cred q great point with them.
