Nathan Straus is one of three broth
ers who came to this country with
their parents in 1854. All three have
since attained fame and wealth. The
first home of the Straus family in
this country was at TalbOttom, Ga.
The elder brother, Isidor-since as
sociated with Nathan in the owner
ship of great department stores in
Manhattan and Brooklyn-returned to
Europe during the civil war to act as
assistant purchasing agent of steam
ers and supplies for the confederate
government. Nathan Straus secured
his education in a New York business
college, and his first commercial ven

William +. COrey's retirement as
president of the United States Steel
corporation will probably immediate
ly follow the meeting of the board of
directors to be held next Tuesday. AL
though it has been rumored that Mr..
Corey will form a copper trust, this
report is given little credenCe, ana
and it is likely that the financier will
spend a year or two in Europe, mere
ly resting, before resuming any bust
ness cares. Just how many millions
Mr.. Corey has put away against a
rainy day, such as next Tuesday prom.
ises to be, is not definitely known.
1t is unlikely, however, that the wolf
will do any knawing at the Corey door
Mrs. Corey is not likely to weep over
her husbands retirement from bust
ness. The former actress who sue.
ceeded to the affections of the steel
trust magnate, after his first wife had
been legally put away, has not found
breaking into New York society an
easy matter. Indeed, she is as much
an outsider as on the day after she
had promised to love, honor and obey
William f. Corey. Paris is not sc
exclusive, and Mrs. Corey owns fine
old chateau near the French capital
which is a port of call for some OF
the very best people of Paris.

Madero, informally discussing the

clares that he will entertain no sug-
gestion which does not, pending the

ton of Diaz. He (Madero) will lay
down his presidency if Diaz will lay

the hydra-headed public take its

Diaz queered the ballot koxes and

thinks that considering what he has
