MRS. W. E. COREY LEARNS
SHE OWNS VAST PROPERTY.
Has Quarter Interest in $780,
100000 California Oil Lands.

NEW YORK, Feb. S.-Mrs. William
Ellis Corey, wife of the former presi-
DENT of the United States Steel Cor
poration, who sailed today on the
Mauretania for Europe, has just learned
hat she may become one of the fou
persons to share in the thirty million
dollar property which belonged to her
father, c. H. Gilman.
The property in question was taken
up in 1883 as a quarter-section of a
government claim near Bakersfield,
Kern county. Ca ~ifornia, and it was
by accident that Mrs. Corey learned it's
present value.
II knew my father possessed the
land, but I v paid any attention to
it until / was approached through a
Arm of California lawyers to sell out
right any claim l had to the estate
said Mrs. Corey today just before sail
ing. Then I discovered that the prop
erty is yielding millions in oil. Natural
ly my lawyers advised me to hold on to
my share.
Unfortunately the others OF my
family who hau claims TO the estate
sold their interests for a nominal sum.
1t will take litigation for them to get
their interests back again, but my ad-
visers tell me that I have every right
to my share in this property and I
intend TO do everything possible TO gain
possession of 1t. Think of the things
I shall be able to do with the money"
An accounting t. Mrs. Corey has been
ordered by the courts.
Mr.. Corey took occasion today, on
the departure of his wife for France,
where she will reopen the Corey chau-
teau, to deny the report that he intend
ed to enter into business relations with
Charles NJ. Schwab, and said he did not
intend to gag in any business for q
long time to come. Mr.. Corey will join
his wife later.

But such as the law now is, the people
have the absolute right to nominate the
State ticket without let or hindrance or
dictation by. or from any man or in
fluence. We trust that the people will
show their interest to such an extent that
every Democrat in Frederick county will
go to the primaries and vote for his
choice among the Candidates for each
State office
If the Democrats do this the Demo-
cratic ticket will be the choice of the peo-
pie, and if it is a good ticket they will
be entitled to the credit of it, and if they
select a bad or weak ticket it will be
the fault of the people. 1t may be well
to say that it will be wise in the peo-
pie to be careful in selecting good
ticket for the State of Maryland is not so
strongly Democratic that anybody can be
elected, and it must not be forgotten that
Baltimore City in the mayoralty election
last spring. went Democratic by less than
seven hundred votes. 1t will be wise to
stop, look and listen, when they go to
the primaries.

Bilious Senator Hepburn.

There is a more than twice-told tale
about an old negro body servant who
made OF master who was never satisfied
with ANYTHING as he found il the following
inquiry:
"MarSe Jack. amt YOU a pow'ful lot o
trouble to yo'sef?'
Senator Heyburn's bilious attacks have
created more of stir among his col
leagues than is good for their reputation
for dignity and sense of proportion.
They magnify him and belitte themselves
by allowing his TRADES to move them to
angry retort. A mosquito attempting to
retsrd the progress of an Indian elephant
could not be more incapable of accom-
plishing results than small politician at
tempting to revive feeling between the
North and the South at this good hour
and retard the growth of the broader
Americansm that sees no sectional lines
where lines Of battle were far flung"
nearly half century ago. Why grow
excited over the impending danger to the
elephant and rush forward to kill the
moSquitOs
Senator Hevburn'S excess of bile must
make him ''pow'fu disagreeable" TO
himself 1t merely makes him ridiculous
in the eyes OF the nation.
