arrival of the guests, Mr.. Corey, who
remained at the Hotel Gotham, re-
ceived hundreds of congratulatory tele-
grams and letters from friends and
business associates. Miss Gilman was
also inundated with messages of con-
gratulations.
This wedding closes another chapter
in the career of one of Andrew Carne-
gie's young men. When the great
Pittsburg ironmaster began his work
of building up the steel business he
drew around him a brilliant staff of
young men who finally became known
as "Carnegie's mlilionaires. Among
them was w. E Corey. He worked as
a puddler, common laborer, in the
great steel mills. for a few dollars
day. Then when Carnegie began his
policy of promoting bright young fell
lows and pushing them to the front,
Corey was one of the list. He was
made head of department, was given
a slice of the stock and sat around that
famous council table wherc the policy
was worked out that made the United
States steel corporation perhaps the
GREATEST force In the commercial world
of tilis country.
After the rapid career Of Charles M.
Schwsb, who was the first of the
Carnegie millionaires' to head the
steel trust, came Coery.
High life was said to have been too
much for Schwab, but it was predicted
that Corey would not be led away by
the allurements of wealth. And for a
time it appeared that he would remain
steadfast But one day, so the story
goes, Corey's wife found the photo
graph of MabeIle Gilman, the actress,
in Corey's room. Then began the do
nestle tragedy. The breach wideped.
Mrs. Corey was the wife when the
steel king married when he was young,
and she did not progress in society as
he did. Gossip linked the name of
Corey and the actress persistently. The
Coreys separated and Mrs. Corey was
given a divorce in Nebraska without
opposition. The past few months Corey
and Miss Gilman have been in Europe
