lations called for large cancellation
of postage to cover matter sent out
under the second-class rates.
A fve.dollar stamp, no admitted,
couldn't be exchanged for cash or for
stamps of smaller denomination. Then

stockholders abroad. Reports printed
in book form are mailed as first-class
matter to these stockholders"

before the supper was served. Tho
name OF the officiating clergyman
was not made known definitely un-
til late in the evening. A persis-
tent rumor hid it that efforts to
retain a clergyman of either the
faith of Mr.. Corey or Miss Gilman
had been unavailing.

denied through friends published

Long before the theaters 'yhad
poured their thousands into the
night, thin line or curious people
gathered about the hotel and gazed
expectantly at the brilliant windows
from which flashed great bars of
ochre light across 5th-av., in vain
hopes of catching some fleeting
glimpse of the wedding party. The

evening and there were no brides

New York, May 14.-William t..
Corey. president Of the steel trust,
sailed early this morning on the
steamship Kaiser Wilhelm III Cor
Europe with his bride, formerly Ma
belle Gilman, the actress. Corey was
enraged at the newspaper reporters
and photographers who were at the
boat to bid the couple farewell. He
denounced them for the "unkind"
things they have said about himself
and his bride. Mrs. Corey, however,
calmed the angry magnate with a
word and touch on the arm and he
recovered enough good humor to wish
everybody, good luck.
1t is estimated that Corey spent $4,-
214,000 to secure his bride, including a
settlement on his first wife. The
will be spent at 1.-The,
near Paris, Corey's present
to his new wife.
