After sumptuous supper the party. led by MT. Corey and Miss Gilman. passed down the hall between the rows of palms to the double salon, which was decorated to represent a small church. Broad white ribbons attached to small white posts formed an aisle down the center of the room. on either side of which were the chairs for those invited to witness the ceremony. Here the couple were married.
 After the nuptials MT. Corey and his bride took an automobile and were whrled away to HOboken. where they boarded the Kaiser Wilhelm II. of the North German Lloyd line and sailed at 7:30 o'clock this morning for Europe. They occupied the captains suit. which has been specially fitted up for the trip.
 Mir and Mrs. A. A. Corey. father and mother of the bridegroom: Ada Corey and Mrs. Elizabeth X. Riggs. his sisters. and Mrs 4. \. Thomas of Me Keesport, Pa. sister of Miss Gilman. were present at the wedding.
 The wedding took place in the royal suit" on the first floor of the Gotham. Between twenty-five and thirty guests were present. most of them members of the immediate families of Mir. Corey and Miss Gilman. Some of the steel magnate's business associates were also there.
 Reversing the time honored custom. the wedding dinner was given before the ceremony, and it was a very elabo- rate afair. Decorations costing more than s5.OOO graced the room. One thou. sand dollars worth of American Beau ties were banked upon the tables and about the room.
 The ceremony took place immediate ly after the dinner. Mr. Corey was un- attended. Only one bridesmaid accom- panied Miss Gilman to the floral arch beneath which she became Corey bride. This was her companion. Miss Mary Shaw.
 United States Steel securities amounting to S1OOo.OOO were Mir. Co rey's wedding gift to his bride.
 Rumors are current in Wall street that Corey has resigned as president uf the United States Steel corporation. Because of the great publicity that has attended the breaking of the old ties and the forming of new ones by Corey 1t Is said several members of the di- rectOrate have expressed themselves frankly as believing il would he better now for the corporation to have 6 new haoH

able to hobble around. It wouldn't cost them much either, because they would get most of 1t for nothing. Tom Hayes sent two barrels of whis- key there once, but after he learned that you had to be almost corpse before you could get any of It he gave them no more, and I don't blame him. 1 shouldn't care to see the home con- verted into a drinking booth, but I would like some arrangement where by a man could spend what he has to spare there instead of turning it over to people in Darien or some place else. Such a rule works all right in other places and see no reason why there should be any danger from 1t here. Where they do keep a canteen they will give nobody enough to harm him and so far as I have been able to learn the privilege never has been abused. The war was not won by total abstinence advocates and it hurts us to see them hold the whip over us now in our old age. There are about TOO old soldiers and sailors in the home and although some are fairly well preserved. man wouldn't take a lease of any of their lives for an extended period. In few years the whole of us will have answered the roll call for the last time. and it does seem 10 me that it should be the aim of the state to make it pleasant for us while we are here. I suppose they mean all right, but assure you they come long ways short of meeting public sentiment from the old veterans standpoint on the canteen question"

A large number of persons of the many cities visited by Vurpillat gen. orally believe him to be hypnotist, as they claim no individual could arouse the same amount of enthusi- asm and excitement and control so absolutely the people he comes in contact with by any other means than hypnotic power. Some of the , demontrations he performs are next to miraculous and seem impossible .and the public are at loss to un- derstand how this wonderful young man accornplishes so much where others fail. They say while indeed The is remarkable speaker, neverthe- less eloquence alone could never make the impression that his per sonality makes.
 Vurpillat has been asked several times in regard to the subject, and all The has to say is that neither hypno- ( tism nor Vurpillat makes these won- z derful demonstrations. It is Vurpil- lat's New Discovery, and if used ac- cording to directions the same results can be obtained by all who use them. Callers who are coming to express !; their gratitude for what the Vurpil- lat remedies have done for them, { average over a hundred a day, and 1 some of their stories are remarkable. ' When the invitation was given to those who wished to take advantage ! of the free demonstration a great many responded. Among some of them were the following:
 MT James Murrin of 46 Wilson street, had been suffering with a stiff leg for four years, the result of rheu- matism. He had not been able to ] walk for months without severe pain every time he would move his limb. After five minutes application of the New Discovery, Vurpillat asked MT Murrin how his limb felt. MT Mur- rin stamped his foot and walked without the slightest limp as If noth- ing had ever been the matter with him.
 MT George Bishop of 66 East Lib erty street. was suffering with deaI- ness in both ears for over three years. When he came upon the plat form he very frankly told the young demonstrator that he had no faith in medicine, but was willing to see if there was any possible chance of its helping him. Vurpillat took up a bottle of the New Discovery and be- gan applying it. After three minutes use of the remedy a smile could be discerned on the countenance of Mir Bishop. When asked if he could hear vurpillat's voice. he said: "Yes, l can hear clearly, even while the band is playing" Taking the Great

 AUGUSTA, Ga., May 14.-"so far as I can see now, W. ]. Bryan will be the Democratic candidate for president" said Senator TIllman. "ue seems to be the only logical man for the race. It may be safely predicted that he will have for his running mate some sub stantial southern man. probably Gull person of Texas, Hoke Smith of Geor- gia or Daniels of Virginia. It is pity that we cannot have a southern man first on the ticket. but the conservative Democracy of the south understands that sectional prejudice has not sufii- ciently died out yet.

 Bride a Million.

NEW YORK, May 14.-Under' an il. iumined marriage bell which shed over them a radiance mellow as moonlight William Ellis Corey. president of the steel trust, and Miss Afabelle Gilman, the actress for whom he has sacrificed the wife of his youth and who was wooed from the stage by the million alre, were made man and wife accord ing to the rites of the Congregational church shortly after 1 o'clock this morning in the royal suit at the Hotel Gotham.
 The suit was a fairyland of costly flowers, but there was no note of we'd ding music either at the ceremony or ct the dinner. Mir. Corey and Miss Gilman stood beneath an arch of or chids and asparagus plumes during the ceremony. MT. Corey is an Episcopa' Han, Miss Gilman a Catholic. and ail efforts to retain a clergyman of either the faith of Mr. Corey or Miss Gilman were unavailing.
 Owing to the scandal caused by MT. Corey's recent divorce not only Epis- copaI. but Presbyterian. Methodist and Baptist ministers had refused to tie the knot
 It Is known that Mir. Corey asked many New York pastors to oficiate and was met with polite but firm dec linations. Perhaps the decided stand taken by Bishop Burgess of Long Is- land influenced them. The bishop said such a marriage-Of a divorced man could never take place in his diocese. The general tendency of the Episcopal church has been to make the rule more stringent recently. and apparently New York ministers have beea living up so the spirit of the law.
 The ceremony was performed hy Rev J. L. Clark. pastor of the Bush wick Avenue Congregational church of BrookIyn-

! Woman suffrage was strongly advo-
Gated by Hon John Barrett, director Of
the international Bureau OF American
Republics. in his address at the Mrs.
/ Isabella Beecher-Hooker memorial meet
/ ing at the Church Of Our Father last
evening
/ In beginning his address. Mr.. Barrett
paid tribute to Mrs. Hooker, saying that
/ she was ou6 Of the greatest women he
had ever met. He then spoke Of existing
/ conditions
There was never time in the history
Of the United States. he said, when We
were watched by foreign powers as we
are now Especially is this true in re-
+ gard TO our twenty sister republics on
this side Of the hemisphere, who are
studying Us carefully, and who are noting
carefully all OF our social conditions. The
/ serious moral conditions which prevail
now will cause our sister republics 10
I swerve unless they are checked. and in
checking them we must have the assist
ance Of the women of our country.
Il believe. he continued. that one Of
I the problems that confront Us to-day is
the protection Of our young women In
/ regard to questions of this sort. wcmen
are far better able to regulate affairs than
men. Women are more moral their char
acter Is more perfect than that of men.
( Ii devolves upon women TO raise the
standard OF public morals and keep them
I high Any nation which does not give its
women part IN the workings of its gov
eminent is doomed 10 be behind the
times.
/ Tt is my firm belief as it always has
/ been, that every woman should be given
a voice in the making of laws to support
the State. and when that day comes the
/ United States will have made one Of the
greatest progressive movements which has
/ ever been seen.
/ Dr. William Chancellor. superintendent
/ of the Washington public schools. said
/ that in view Of the many arguments
which had been offered in favor of the
mother. he felt called upon TO say some
| thing in behalf of the father, telling Of the
great work which had been done by
| Lyman Beecher. He dwelt strongly upon
/ the beautiful home life Of Mrs. Hooker
saying that those who knew her thought
of her primarily as a wife and mother,
friend under all circumstances. and gen
erOus enemy who was always willing to
J forgive.
