""TWXT Saturday Morning Courier. VOLUME 8, NO. 44. UINGOLN, NBURASKA, SATURDAY, OCTOUEK 7, 1893. . PRICK FIVIJ GENTS i I' L i Wasiiinciton, Out. 4, 18ai.-Spceial CouniRit Correspondence. Tom Reed hns begun IiIb candidacy (or tho ropub llcan nomination for tho presidency. Tho limn ho chcriBhcH na liifl rivnl Ib McKinloy, of Olilo. Ho Imb no four, nuthiiif.- lut contempt for Harrison, whom lo personally and politically despises. Hut hifl little, lynx eyes are novor off McKinloy, and IiIb Binooth, round, bald head Ib forever ruminating McKinloy. And when you como uion him and IiIb seal-fat face Iiuh an ab stracted look, as of Inward contempla tion, he's thinking of McKinloy right then and considering 'hovvto go to tho political windward of him. Tho other day Bomo private conference was held with Reed by Ohio republicaiiB ua to Recd'H coming uikiii tho Ohio stump to aid McKinloy in hifl hunt for tho governorship. Reed Buid no; ho couldn't get away. Thoro woro tho tariff and tho party in the house, and a thousand and ono thingB, republican and national, to tako up all IiIb timo. Then ho was kind enough to point out that McKinloy wuh Buro to win and didn't really need him. Reed oxpeetB McKinloy to win Buro enough, liut ho docB not want any high or pinnacled majority in it; nondvertiso ment of strength to catch tho next con vention. Nor is ho (Reed) going to pour any present water on the McKinloy whnnl. Tho luttor's overthrow in Ohio would not leave Reed bo wrought, ner voub and sleoplcBS no to nmko opiates a nocessity. There is a certain young Bvell in Washington society who wishes ho had not made such public displuy of prido in his father's military position, slnco ho, in common with tho rest of tho gay world, now knows thuttho ofllcer'a nunio ranked more prominently in tho card rooms of tho various postB.whero ho had -been stationed than it evcr-has done-on tho army register. It happened in this wiso: The .young man, being in an osneciallv boastful mood, turned to r. young foreigner in tho company of gilded youths. Baying: "You should know my father." "I do know your father," wus tho startling' reply; it cost mo just 81,800 to know him. Ho taught mo poker." I wonder if thoro can bo anything in tho climatic conditions of Washington that neccBflitatcB that unlimited absorp tion of spirituous beverages by tho fair sox of tho capital which is admitted to bo u notable feature of tho city. Certain it is, whatever the causo, that at many of the hotels of tho West End it'is an everyday occurrencoto see, in tho public dining-rooms, ladies imbibing what appears to be a most unnecessary quan tity of beer and champaguo at both lunch and dinner. At tho latter repast, in fact, these lighter bovoragcB aro sup plemented by a regular course of cock toils, wines and liqueurs, which, how ever, be it said to tho credit, or discredit, of tho fair imbibers does not seem to leave them an iota Icsb mistresses of themselves than they woro at tho begin ning of tho attack. Thin latter feature loads tho observer to suppose that a consldornblo amount of private season ing must bo indulged in to enablo tho public test to bo gono through bo triumphantly. I am assured, indeed, on good authority that such Ib the ease, and that tho tippling witnessed within tho privacy of tho ludies' own apart ments is .quite on a par with the more open bibblingof tho public dining rooms. London Truth printed recently and prominently a very interesting, if true, story ubout n goigcous, jowelled medal sont by tho Sultan of Turkey to Presi dent Cleveland as a souvenir in com momoration of tho four 'hundredth an niversary of tho discovery of America. Truth describes the medal as Biiporbly engraved and Bet with splendid dia mondB, and values it at 2,000. This jnedal, Interesting in itB source as in itself, was to bo "preserved aB a state heirloom at the White houso, as Piesl dent Cloveland cannot accopt it as his own private property." But something has gono wrong with either the medal or Truth, for tho presi dent doesn't know anything about tho sultan's alleged gift. Mr. Thurbor, the president's secietary, assured a reporter that there is no truth in tho story. Hut, again Mr. Labouchere, tho editor and proprietor of Tritth,n usually very care ful about what ho prints in his noted paper, and his facilities for learning of odd and inner happenings the world over are exceptional. It may bo that tho Biiltan really has had such u gift prepared, and the news about it came direct to Truth from Constantinople before tho medal stinted. Wo might reasonably have early knowledge of any preparation of a like gift hem for pre. sentntion to a foreign iotontate. Hut President Cloveland knows noth ing of the medal, and If Truth knows anything more tho information would Ira Interesting. It should at all events tell how it knows what it knows. M Anont tho Van Alen rumpus, a Phila delphia newspaper a few days ago pub lished an Interview with Mr. Hoi ace White, of tho Kreuiuu Post, of Now York city, In reference to Mr. Richard Watson Glider's movement to repay .1. J. Van Alen tho er0,000 ho contributed to the democratic campaign fund. A reporter called on Mr. White, and ho said that tho Interview wan correct. Mr. White said in tho published Inter view: "I talked with Mr. Richard Watson Oilder.of the Ccnturywrnn after tho inauguration of President Cloveland hmt March, and wo decided to see If tho amount of Mr. Van Alen's contribution to tiio campaign fund could not bo raised among the friends of tho president and repaid. "Wo agreed that it would embarrass tho president if ho appointed Mr. Van Alen. Mr. Glider agreed to give 91,000 to tho proKsed fund. "I agreed to glo 81,000, provided that if tho 8Ti0,000 contribution was returned to Mr. Van Alen, ho would agree to with draw from tho race. "Hoth Mr. Gilder and myself agreed that tho appointment of Van Alen would bo unwise. Without regaid to his tltncBB, tho fact that ho had paid 850,000 for tho placo was enough to dis bar him from that placo. "I visited sovcral men whoso names I do not ciro to mention. I found that tho Bum of 8."0,000 could bo raised with out publicity, and at once, provided Mr. Van Alen would withdraw his applica tion for tho appointment." Mr. Whlto then declined to explain why tho money was not raised. Ho said Mr. Gilder whb tho proper man to see about that, "LhuvcBuld.'LconllnuoiLJIr.-Whito, "that I offered to give 81,000 to the fund to repay Mr. Van Alen his 8T0,000 con tribution on condition that ho withdraw his application for tho appointment. "I don't bcliovo tho appointment of Mr. Van Alen should bo confirmed by tho Bonate. , You can quote mo as saying that ho did contribute 8."0,000 to tho campaign fund. "Contributions in campaigns are nee- fessury, but contributions made through promises of certain positions of honor should bo roundly denounced. Still, it I n CiiKiAOO, Oct. f,- Special Colmiiiik CorresK)ndence.- Shu was u coy oung woman and sho looked decidedly pretty in her newsummer costume when Guard Whlto discovered her silting on one of tho divans in the art gallery yesterday afternoon. Ho gave her several of his most killing looks and she responded with the sweetest of smiles, and the heart of tho young man In bluo beat so hard that tho kettledrums in tho Turk ish village were not to bo compared for sound. As he gazed into the young woman's limpid eyes tho orderof Colonel Rico that all memberBof tho Columbian Guard must desist from lllrting was for gotten. As ho walked proudly to and fro each turn biought him nearer to tho smiling beauty and each time his manly bosom was thrilled by tho look she gave him. This sort of thing wont on for several minutes, when she arose, and as she swept into tho vestibule, she cast him a sidelong glanco which plainly said: "Follow me." The guard did so. By tho side of ono of the columns stood his dimmer, and she extended a dainty hand, which mink out of view in his white glove. After a few minutes' con versation the girl asked for tho time, and Guard White gallantly pulled from his vest pocket tho handsome gold watch which ho carried. "Oh, it is half past three," sho cried, "and I must lot mamma know the time. Sho sits right in there. Poor, dear thing, she Is awfully deaf, and ono has to scieam to make her hear. Just lot mo take your watch a moment while I take it in and show it to her, and I will bo right back." It took tho guard less than a second to unsnap the chain which held tho timepiece and, handing it to tho charm er, ho watched her run into tho gallery. And then ho waited for hor return. Sho novcr came back. s only fair to a person who has mado a contribution upon tho promise of a cer tain otllco, that ho should have tho amount of that contribution returned to him." Mr. Whito said ho had not soon Mr. Gilder for soveral months.

FA8HIONS FOR MEN. A great doal of red neckwear will bo worn this fall. Dark red, with a small black tlgttre, should bo given preference.' When you buy your fall stiff hat bo mile that it has a piominont roll in the brim. If it hnBii't, when you weai your overcoat it will havo a "dinky" appearance. There has bcon a great deal of talk about men tj ing their own whito bows, As not ono man in a hundred can do this artisticully, it is much hotter to wear thoso already tied. . Very swell men in tho east are having their cuffs made on their shirts. Thoy are dispensing with cuff-buttons and wearing tho old-fashioned pearl sowed on buttons instead.

M. Bourgotjias jiiade a .discovery, ono that fully justifies tho high estimate that has been formed in this country of his wit and discrimination. M. Uourgct boldly declares that Chicago Is Ameii can distinctly, typically and character istically American. The Frenchman found this out before he had been in Cnicago forty-oight hours, and he does not hesitate to say so. Just what he expected Chicago to be ho does not make plain. Whether lie thought to find it Egyptian or Finnish or Hungar ian or Swattish ho leaves quite undeter mined; but that ho was startled to find it American Ib evident, from tho wealth of Interjections and exclamations with which he proclaims his Ingenious dis covery ot tiio trutn. 'The Midway is like a morgue." Such has been tho universal verdict within the last two weeks as a conscqucnco of the rathor unlooked-for order, compell ing the fakirs or drummers for tho side shows along the hitherto merry Mid. to hold thoir peace. I am really at a loss to account for so silly and useless u mandate on tho part of the authorities, At the eleventh hour of tho fair it soems to pie that a feature that had grown to bo looked upon as one of the indispens able adjuncts of life in the Midway might have been tolerated until the ciowds went home. Tho bawling of tho fakirs at least kept things up to concert pitch; it lent excitement to a tout en semble never at any timo too lively, and now that tho inundate of the authorities iias silenced the lond-mouthcd gentle men who in times past havo kopt things humming, so to speak, with their vociferous, and sometimes, it must bo confessed, discordant cries, thoro is noth ing to do but accept tho Inevitable and traverso tho hitherto merry Midway in u sort of trance, wondering what earthly object tho director general and IiIb as sociates hoped to attain by abolishing a feature that amused and entertained infinitely mom people than it wearied or shocked. a chair In fiont ot the theatre, and, by a series of Indescribable facial ami hodjly gymnastics, coutrlvcsto so impress upon his audience I ho exquisitely lunate wick edness of the show lo be seen within, that the people Hock inside In swarms, and well, the fakir's purpose Is quljo achieved. If tho interest appears to Hag, the mtlst on tho chair himself per foitnson his elevated lustrum, u step or two of tho danso du ventre, whhlh ahvnjs serves to rend his audience into tils of dollght and brings, In consequence, an livalauco of dollars Into the box olllee; or, If all else falls, a fat Persian boy, with red cheeks and an inordinately protuberant abdomen, comes at a sign from ids chief and elevates a sign in black letters on a whltogmuud, reading: YES!

I think on tho whole that they had better have let the fakirs talk themselves black In tho face before they turned tho Midway into "a morgue." Philip I). Armour is a short-set, broad built, prosperous-looking man, with a ruddy, open face and dark side whiskers. Ho Ib severely self-made. Six and foity years ago ho diovo a mule team across the plains of California and invested what little capital ho had in the grain business in Milwaukee. Then ho bought an Interest in u ioik-pncklng establishment and today his fortune Is estimated at something like i50,000,000. Ho now, perhaps, Ib the most conspicu ous ot all Chicago's-multi-milllonaiies 1 and is as modest as tho proverbial schoolboy over was and is oiio ot tho plainest and most quiet-going of men Ixith as to manner and mode ot life. Ot Into ill health has obliged him to restrict his diet to bread and milk. This would bo u sad alllictlon to some rich mon, but Mr. Armour has never culti vated his palate to an appreciation of ortolans ana trollies iinu lie-likes, a b'fduxl apple for breaWast iw"'nuTcli as Heecher or Jay Gould used to. His recent gift of 81,500,000 to the univer sity of Chicago brought him into pro minence as a practical pliilnutiiiopist. "He Ib the hardest man to go against in a grain or provision deal that I know of," said a friend of ids recently, "but in an emergency where 'money talks' he will cough up a cool million as indiffer ently as another man would order a chop in a restaurant." Withal ho is at his desk daily, summer and winter alike, before tho clock st tikes 7 and he habitually wears a red roso in his buttonhole.

In some respects tho silence that the Midway fakirB lire, by the recent orders, forced to maintuiu, is considerably more suggestive tlinn any of tho speeches thoy have heretofore felt called upon to utter. M) friend, the fakir for the Persian theatre, for instance, is apparently In his element. The four or live Columbian guards who stand perpetually in front of his rostrum awaiting an opportunity to arrest him, are subjected to continu ous disappointment; inasmuch as he never permitn a single srtokon word to escape him. His gesticulations, how ever, are much more eloquent than any siwkcii words could be. He'stands upon flood mid IImiI Knicllnli. KditorotTiicSvTDiiDw MoitNiNo ()uiiu:u: The list of "words and phrases that should be avoided' in your issue of September ,'i0, is with some exceptions, safe to follow. Hut a few expressions have been chibsed iib incorrect, that are far from it. "Had rather" and "had hotter" are Us good English as one can write. The Columbus that discovered these errors was a HH)r seavigator in tho wateis of "bad English." In such expressions, had Is followed by an infinitive without the word to. "Posted for informed" is supported by tho leading authorities, Stormouth, Webster and the greut Contury diction a ry. "Posted" is well sot and will hold its I'luco undisturbed by shallow erltl cimii. A bow for foregoing" is standard En glish. "Fix, for arrango or prepare" is given honorable jiosltion by tho authori ties named. Fix is ono of our vigorous winds always ready to lend a hand; it never jmIb dusty or rusty. "ioot, for station.'' Depot has won a place, and in this country it takes the lead of "station." "Healthy, for wholesome." It would have been better to have said "healthy for hcathful," though health) used in the sense of wholesome Is snpported by good usage. Funii) for odd or unusual" calls to mind tho observation made b.v Dr. Drummond, the celebrated Scotch lecturer, now in this country, who re marked that ho was an ardent admirer of the American people, but regretted that their vocabulary of adjectives was so meager. Hknkv S. Joni s. Tin: Cotmimi Is disposed to bo eon slderato. It dislikes very much to sny anything that might hurt anybody's feelings. And now when ehciimslauees seem to make It necessary that this paper should give cursory consideration to that Irrepressible statesman of tho Fourth ward, Captain Phelps Paine, tho utmost cam will be taken not to say anything to which that gentleman or ins mentis might take exception. Them was a meeting of the republican county central committee at the Capital hotel Monday afternoon, and Ham E. .".ow, the coinmltteoman from tho Fourth ward being absent, ami Paine, tho man who eanles the Idea in his head I hat he cm lies tho Fourth ward mound In his IMiokot, being In oonvenlent, pinxhnlty, was Invited, through tho courtesy of tho Minmlttee, to act for Mr. Low. Now Palno's conduct throughout tho meet ing, in a presence to which ho was only admitted by courtesy, was such as to warrant Tun Couiiikk or any other con servator of tho public pcaeoln making some harsh remarks, remaiks that might glvo tho gentleman u pain; but this Tin: Couiiikk will not do. In the kindliest manner possible wo would merely sag gest to tho captain the advisability of his climbing a very tali tree and getting peimanently (.IV thecal th whom he Is at present the source and cause of much unnecessary trouble. Captain Paine and his mouth, which unfortu nately, ho docs not carry in his isicket as he Imagines ho does tho Fourth ward, not only make people tired, but disturb tho public peace. His more or less un intelligible .remarks at the county cen tral committee meeting alniut "gag rule," etc.. seriously interrupted tho business of the meeting, and his con duct did not reflect credit upon tho Fourth ward, a ward that prides itsolf iitMm its blue stockinged culture. There is really no excuse for Pulno and his offenses aro sometimes alnrinuly tlagrant; Dutir ho will climb thut tree and stuy them Tub 'Coiiiitkii;' speaking for tho public, assures tho captain that nil will bo forgiven. In tho meantime we would suggest thut Colonel Low attend all meetings of the county cen tral committee in person hereafter, o -Some time ago, In tho early suudner, tho Young Men's Republican club gave a banquet, and at a timo when there was no political excitement, tho club succeeded In arousing tho most intense Intel est. The club, which, by the way, Is be coming ono of the most noted political organizations in tho state, has mado another move. It proposes to opon the campaign in this county, and it will do it next week in a manner quite in keep ing with its reputation. At a meeting held Tuesday night it was decided to give another banquet Thursday, October 12, und the fallow ing committee on arrangements was apiHiinted: George J. Woods.chairman; W. F. Kelley, W.
