match and a God-made marriage"
said Rev. J. S. Clark of the Bushwick
Avenue Congregational Church this
afternoon, speaking of the wedding of
Mr. Corey and Miss Gilman, at which
he officiated.
"And the fee was not $1,000" he
continued There would be lot of
immortality in this world if all min
listers refused to marry divorced per-
sons; if quarrels and unhappiness fol-
low a marriage,that is proof that the
union was not made by God, but by
men. If after people have obtained
divorces they meet some one, and
their hearts and minds are in accord,
that is the sort of marriage where
the precept Whom God has joined
together applies. | would not per-
form a ceremony after divorce which
[ did not think was a union of this
kind.
Il have good opinion of a man
who, when he sees that things are
unhappy at home, is gallant enough
to allow his wife to get a divorce
without contesting it. He may have
things said about him by neople and
some may not think we'll of him; but
[ am sure that he will stand we'll in
the eyes of the almighty l think it
IS the gallant thing for him to do TO
sit still and let his wife say what she
wants to about him"
Mr.. Clark said that no one who saw
Miss Gilman and Mr. Corey together
could doubt that it was a love match
and Cod-made marriage
in a case like theirs / would not
hesitate to unite in marriage a di-
vorced person." he addeo. "r will
state here that my fee had nothing
TO do with it. The fee was never
mentioned in fact. | would have mar
ried Mr. Corey to Miss Gilman just
as gladly if there had only been a So
fee in it. Then it would not have
been noticed"
Mr. Clark said he was the only min
lister whom Mr. Corey had asked to
perform the ceremony, and that the
arrangements were made through Mr..
Corey's secretary a week ago Mon
day
In an angry scene at the steamship
pier in Hoboken before he sailed
with his bride Corey raised his big
stick and threatened to attack certain
camera men who essayed 10 take
snapshots.
Mrs. Corey with soothing words
twice prevented her husband from
carrying out his threats of violence
Later they shut themselves in their
suite on board the Kaiser Wilhelm II
and sailed at 1880 on their honey
moon.
| Before he boarded the steamer Mr.
Corey gave way to an outburst OF
anger toward some photographers
who stood about the entrance to the
pier They carried hashlight pistols
and had arranged themselves so as
to get pictures of the bride and
groom as they stepped from their
brougham.
Don't you dare-I'll smash your
cameraw exclaimed Mr.. Corey, as he
stepped from the brougham and
caught sight of photographer. The
steel corporation president started
toward the photographer with his big
yellow cane uplifted. The photog-
rapher was intent upon his camera
Other photographers began to get
into focus for snapshots of the steel
magnate in a fighting attitude.
wait minute, DEAR" Mr.. Corey
called back to his bride. Then to the
camera men he said: 81 should think
you'd be ashamed of this outrage
What new horror am 1 to be sub
|jected tor"
At this moment Mrs. Corey laid a
hand upon her husbands arm. She
whispered soothing words to him
and he abandoned his fighting mood
to assist her toward the elevator lead
ing to the upper floor of the pier from
which passengers board the steam
ship.
| Catching sight OF photographs
maneuvering for a "shot" Corey once
more became angry. Try to take
snapshot of my wife or me and III
smash that camera" he said.
At the elevator entrance some re.
porters stood taking in Corey's angry
outbursts.
"You gentlemen should be ashamed
to ask me to say anything to yor
after the unkind things you have
printed about me-" he cried. II won
say anything"
| Mrs. Corey again soothed him
Then she herself spoke:
I'VE appreciate the fond solicitnd'
of you boys" she said, with smile
"but we have nothing to talk about.
"No, not word. l wish you ant
all the people of New York the bes
| of luck" added the bridegroom.
| 1t was the apparent intention o
the steel magnate that his marriage
with the actress should be given thu
widest publicity. Scores of expensive
photographs of the bride and of the
| improvised chapel in which the cere
mony was performed were handed on
to the reporters who assembled a
the Hotel Gotham to get the detail:
of the wedding. There were no two
photographs of Miss Gilman tn,
