Dan Hemingray is at the Waldorf Astoria

Dan C. Hemingray, the king of the glass manufacturing business and prince of social life, is at the Waldorf-Astoria. Mr. Hemingray came on from his home in Covington early in the week to look after important business matters and to look about. He gave a luncheon last Wednesday night at which his brother-in-law, Briggs Cunningham Keck, Lewis Werk and Charles Paul Brown spread their lower limbs beneath the festal hoard. To say that "joy reigned supreme" is putting it very mildly. Once it was arranged through Edwin Gould that John Miller, the founder of beefsteak dinners, entertained a party of which Mr. Hemingray was one. The late Colonel Alexander Gordon was another. Then there were some others. Each and every one was a man to enliven most any occasion. Then there was some paid talent to speed the moments. It was John Miller's last beefsteak dinner. Several months later he died abroad. The dinner had been going but a short time and the good cheer had hardly started to spread when it was the plainest thing that Dan Hemingray the life of the occasion. He paid tribute vocally to "Bally of Our Alley," as that little lady was never paid tribute to — and then some others. He told Southern dialect stories as "she should be told." The professionals truly wondered who that man could be. Charley Brown, who was one of Mr. Hemingway's [sic] Hemingray's guests the other night, is a Cincinnati boy, son of the late former Congressman Charles E. Brown. He is a legal limb who has made good in Gothamtown. Mr. Brown is a law partner of Attorney McReynolds, who recently tried the anthracite coal and the american Tobacco cases, and who has been mixed up in much of the most important legal matters that has engaged the attention of the Government in "trust busting" endeavors. By the way, it will be a bit of important information that the Tobacco case will take precedence over all others in antitrust matters, and will come up for reargument on January 3 of the new year.
