New York, May 12.-William Ellis Corey
sDcnt a great deal of his time to-day
with his fancee, Miss Mabelle Gilman. at
the Hotel Gotham. The pair left the hotel
in the evening about $50 o'clock and went
to Martins for supper. Miss Gilman had
on a blue cloth dress and a blue hat. She
wore a white feather boa. Mr.. Corey was
in evening dress With them was
woman friend of Miss Gilman, all in
white Miss Gilman looked rather drawn
and tired. Mr. Corey looked cheerful and
happy
They returned TO the hotel later in the
evening Except for an occasional eX-
cursion to meals or theaters, they have
not been about much.
According to the latest information on
the subject, the marriage will take place
Tuesday morning. AT 12:o5 a. m, that IS.
Immediately after midnight. Miss Gilman
has said frequently in interviews that she
is not superstitious. Mr.. Corey hasn't said
how he feels about IT, However. they are
not going to be married on the 18th Of the
month.
Just what the plans for the marriage
are have not been made public. II is not
certain whether or not Rev. Henry Marsh
Warren. the hotel chaplain, will act as
the minister
Miss shaw viii BE Bridesmaid.
It is not known who will be the brides
maids and ushers. It is supposed that
Miss Frances Shaw, Miss Gilman's most
intimate friend, win be a bridesmaid.
However all that IS conjecture, and
nothing will he known certainly until to-
morrow evening. when the manager of
the Hotel Gotham will make full and
complete announcements about the cere-
mony.
It is known. however. that as soon as
the ceremony has been finished the happy
pair will leave to go aboard the
Kaiser Wilhelm II. which sails at IrS0
on Tuesday morning. They Will oc-
cupy Capt. Cuppers rooms. These are
fitted up rather better than the ordinary
run of the statcroOms and cabins, al
though not quite as fine as the special
cabins The couple will have the use Of
four stewards, who will be detailed 70
wait upon them They will be able to
keep much TO themselves. and thus will
avoid annoying public attention.
The Coreys viii leave the ship at Cher
bourg and take a trip through France.
II is not known how long they will be
abroad. because they have not decided
themselves When they return they will
take up their residence in the house on
Fifth avenue which Mr.. Corey recently
rented and had fixed over for that pur
pose
Miss Gilman Gives Interview.
In an interview, Miss Gilman said:
I am entirely happy. I have always
admired Mr. Corey immensely. I think
that he is a very fine man. feel that
we shall be very happy together
A mention Of the first Mrs Corey ap-
peared to distress the delicate sensibilities
Of Miss Gilman. and she asked that no
further references be made to her.
Miss Gilman said that no more threat
ening letters had been received by her.
In spite of that. it became known to-
day that Miss Gilman and Mr.. Corey are
watched constantly by detectives. They
have succeeded in exercising their suTYeil-
lance so carefully that none of the per-
sons who have attempted TO see either
of the pair has noticed it.
Il is feared that some OF those persons
will represent themselves as newspaper
men. and thus gain entrance TO the Gil
man apartments and commit some rash
act When Mr.. COREY and Miss Gilman
leave their apartments on any occasion
they are followed all the way.
They will be watched also when they
leave the hotel early Tuesday morning
TO go 70 the steamer. It is not known
whether Mr.. Corey viii take any of these
guards along with him to Europe. 1t is
thought that no one of the cranks will go
70 the trouble Of following the Coreys to
Europe. These detectives open ali the
mail and packages which come to the
hotel. in order 10 see that no Internal
machines are concealed in any communi-
cations.
