student at Yale.
Allen Corey has always manfully stood
by his mother in the quarrel between ner
and Corey, and also in the quarrel be-
tween Mrs. Corey No. / and Mrs. Lille
cambridge, Corey's second sister.
Here In the home town Of Corey's
father there have been frequent rumors
Of trouble between the steel magnate and
his chorus girl wife.
II Is said that the disparity ii their
ages has resulted IN GOODNESS between
the pair.
Added to this there mas been the
steady campaign Of ridicule publicly
heaped upon the steel trust president
by members Of the Gilman family, some
Of whom are on the stage.
According to statements from author
tive sources, Corey has made overtures
looking to a reconciliation with his di-
yorced wife
The meeting yesterday, it Is said, was
arranged purposely TO sound the SEN
timents Of the first Mrs Corey.
That she agreed to meet again, her
former husband, ii taken a. reason for
believing that there Is another chapter

SOME McGHF.E TOMMYROT.
Washington Correspondent Endcavors
to Create Maudlin Sensation in
Connection With Latimer's Seat.

Washington, Feb. 26.-It has been
suggested here that one reason why
there are not more candidates for tho
vanant seat In the senate which Sena-
tor Latimer occupied is because Of the
long continued series Of misfortune es
and griefs connected with this seat
To the superstitiously inclined indeed
there IS reason to hesitate.
= This is the seat held by the great
Hampton. Long will it be remembered
how that sorrow Yves brought to his
old age by the ingradtude of his
State in turning him out of Office after
such a career of patriotic devotion to
his State. It is unqestionahly true
that this hastented him to his grave.
Hampton was succeeded by that most
typical representative of the strange
spell which had come over the State,
John Lowmdes Manning Irby. Trby
served out his term Of office. but
within short time after he retired to
private life he was called to ur aer
world.
Joseph H. Earle, who succee led
Irby. was senator just one month
and 1s days. He took his seat March
4. 1897, and died May 90 OF the same
year,
And then came the vagarious John

were better for that man that he Shad
no: been born. at least politically.
The lamented Latimer succeeded TO
the ill-fated seat not quite five years
ago. and now he has been gathered
to his fathers.

note that Senator Tillman is perhaps
the first senator in the history If the
