| A revival movement is now being or
gained in wicked New York by full
| blooded Sioux Indian called Wounded
1 Elk, who is a full-fedged missionary.
| The Indian is tall and impressive in
person, his fine, strong face showing
great earneStness when he speaks, and

TO think of the souls being wrecked
there. The Indian Missionary tells the
people they may smoke. as all good In

should use a pipe. 1t would be much

sleep in tents instead of being cooped
up in their fats, which is excellent tho
not very practical advice. He has a

| Mrs. George w. Vanderbilt has been
very much interested of late in reviv-
ing the almost lost art of hand weay-
ing among the mountain women OF the
| Blue Ridge. Those women are very
poor, and Mrs. Vanderbilt felt that il
they would begin weaving again, and
| a demand could be created for their
work, it would ameiorate conditions
| among them very considerably. So
she appeared the other day in Ashe-
Vile clad in a yellow homespun gown
made by one of these mountain women
which cost her just SIS. This had just
| the result Mrs. Vanderbilt hoped it
would have; it started Il fad for such
gowns among the women in the town,
and orders went flying thick and fast
to the mountain weavers. Mrs. Van
derbllt is going to exhibit the gown at

Director and Active Administrator Mr.
Glen, who is man of about 50 years
of age, has been prominent worker
in the public and private charities of
Baltimore for many years. Mrs Sage
| is in vigorous health and Will have a
great deal to do with the work which
she and her corps of assistants have
planned. The Foundation viii not at
tempt to do its work in the regular
orthodox way, that of relieving indi-
vidua1 cases of suffering. but it will en-
deavor as far as possible to eradicate
the cause of poverty and ignorance.
The Foundation has not yet taken the
public into its confidence and told just
what 1t is going to do or how to do it.
Harry K Thaw's second trial will be-

none of his old counsel except Daniel
| O'Reilly and j. Russell Peabody. Del
mas is to be succeeded by Martin w.
| Littleton, former Borough President of

that he will certainly live to rue it,
and that he must be suffering from
"Dementia Americana" to have done
it, William Ellis Corey. the President
of the United States Steel Corporation,
and the actress. Mabelle Gilman, We're
married at the unusual hour of 100
a. M, May IA, in the improvised
chapel of the Hotel Gotham, New York
City. Preceding the ceremony was a
sumptuous dinner served at IL o'clock,
stated to have cost $1,000, at which
AIR. Corey entertained some 16 or II of
his friends besides his aged parents
and several relatives of Miss Gilman.
No matter what may have been the Sc

to the wisdom of his act none who sat
down at that flower decorated table
showed in face or manner anything but
keen enjoyment of the occasion, and
all indeed went merry as marriage

gown of white crepe de chene embroi-
dered most artistically in wild roses,
and her veil was of handmade tulle
edged with valuable lace. She looked
extremely well and both she and Mr..
Corey appeared radiantly happy. After
the ceremony, which was performed
by DR.. John L. Clark, of the Bushwick
Avenue Church, Brooklyn, the couple
were whirled away in an automobile
to Hoboken. where they boarded the
Kaiser Wilhelm II, and took possess
sion of the Captains handsome suite
of rooms which had been specially fitted
up for them. They are expected to
remain abroad till the middle of July
and upon returning to this country will
reside in the expensive New York resi-

faithfully and loyalty stood by his side
in their days of poverty and bye her

and has aroused far greater and
deeper public sentiment than is usually

ceremony, and that ministers were low
