Tom Reed hiiR begun his candidacy (or tlio repub licnn nonilnution for tho presidency. Tho man ho cherlsliPB us liis rlvnl is McKlnlpy, of Ohio. Ho htiH no four, nothliife but contempt for HarrlHon, whom ho personally anil politically despises. Hut hiB little, lynx eyes arc novcr off McKinley, ami his Binuoth, round, bald head Ib forever ruminating MeKlnlcy. And when you come, upon him nnd Mb seal-fat face Iuib an ali Btraoted look, aB of Inward contempla tion, he's thinking of McKinloy right then and considering 'how to go to the political windward of him. Tho other day boiho private conference was held with Reed by Ohio republicans us to Recd'H coming uimmi tho Ohio stump to M McKinley in IiIb hunt Tor tho governorship. Reed said no; ho couldn't get away. There were tho tariff and tho party in the house, and a thousand and ono things, republican and national, to tuko up all his time Then ho whb kind enough to point out that McKinloy was Biro to win and didn't really need him. Reed expectB McKinloy to win Biiro enough, but ho docs not want any high or pinnacled majority in it; noudvertiso ment of strength to catch tho next con vention. Nor is ho (Rood) going to pour any present water on tho McKinloy: wheel. Tholattor's overthrow in Ohio would not leave Rcpd so wrought, ner vous nnd sleepless no to make opiates a necessity. There is u certain young swell in Washington society who wishes ho had not made Buch public display of pride in his fathcr'B military position, sinco ho, in common with the- rest of tho guy world, now knows that tho ofliccr'a namo ranked more prominently In tho card rooms of the various posts.whoro ho had been stationed' than Itever-haB done-on over are exceptional. It may bo that tho sultan really has had such a gift prepared, and tho iipwh about it enino direct to Truth from Constantinople before the medal stalled. Wo might reaHonably have early knowledge of any preparation of a like gift hero for pre sentation to a foreign iiotontutc. Hut President Cleveland knows noth ing of the modal, and If Truth knows anything more tho information would bo interesting. It should at all events tell how it knows what it knows.

"I do know your father," was tho startling' reply; it cost mo just 81,800 to know him. Ho taught mo poker." It happoned in this man, being in an mood, turned to a tho company of 'You should I wonder if thoro can bo anything in tho climatic conditions of Washington that necessitates that unlimited absorp tion of spirituous bovoragoB by tho fair wit of tho canital which is admitted to bo u notable feature of the city. Certain it is, whatever tho cause, that at many of tho hotels of the West End it'is an everyday occurrence to see, in tho public dining-rooms, ladies Imbibing what appears to be a moBt unnecessary quan tity of beer and champagne at both lunch and dinner. At tho latter repast, in fact, theso lighter beverages aro sup plemented by n regular courso of cock tails, wines and liqueurs, which, how ever, bo It said to tho credit, or discredit, of tho fair Imbibers does not Boem to leave them an iota lens mistresses of themselves than they woro at tho begin ning of tho attack. ThiB latter featuro loads tho observer to suppose that a considerable amount of privnto season ing must bo indulged in to enable tho public test to bo gone through so triumphantly. I am assured, indeed, on good authority that Buch is tho case, and that tho tippling witnessed within tho privacy of tho ladies' own apart ments is .quite on a par with the more open bibbllngof tho public dining-rooms. London Truth printed recently and prominently a very Interesting, If true, story ubout a gorgeous, jewelled medal sont by tho Sultan of Turkey to Presi dent Cleveland aB a souvenir in com momoration of tho four 'hundredth an niversary of tho discovery of America. Truth describes the medal aB Biiporbly engraved and set with splendid dia monds, and values it at .2,000. This juodal, interesting in itB source as in itsolf, waB to bo "preserved us a state heirloom at the. White house, as Presi dent Cleveland cannot accept it as his own private property." Rut 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 secretary, assured a roportor that there is no truth in tho Btory. Hut, again Mr. Labouchere, tho editor and proprietor of Truth,n usually very care ful about what ho prints in his noted paper, and hiB facilities for learning of odd and inner happenings tho world Anont tho Van Alen rumpus, u Phila delphia nowBpaper a few days ago pub lished an Interview with Mr. Hoiaco White, of the Eccniuu I'ost, of New York city, In reference to Mr. Richard Watson Gilder's movement to repay .1. J. Van Alen tho e.0,000 ho contributed to tho democratic campaign fund. A reiorter called on Mr. White, and ho said that tho Interview wan correct. Mr. White said in the published inter view: "I talked with Mr. Richard Watson Gilder,of tho GViifirjBoon aftor the inauguration of President Cleveland last March, and wo decided to see if tho amount or Mr. Van Alen's contribution to tho campaign fund could not bo raised among tho friends of tho president and rppuld. "We agreed that it would embarrass tho president if he appointed Mr. Van Alen. Mr. Gilder agreed to give 81,000 to tho proK8ctl fund. "I agreed to givo 31,000, provided that if tho 8JK),000 contribution was returned to Mr. Van Alen, he would agree to with draw from tho race. "Roth Mr. Gilder and myself agreed that tho appointment of Van Alen would bo unwise. Without regard to his iltncss, tho fact that ho had paid 850,000 for tho placo was enough to dis bar him from that placo. "f visited several men whoso names I do not ore to mention. I found that tho sum of 850,000 could bo raised with out publicity, and at once, provided Mr. Van Alen would withdraw his applica tion for tho appointment." Mr. White then declined to explain why tho money wos not raised. Ho said Mr. Gilder was tho proper man to seo nbout that, ;J.havu.,Baid,!Lcontiniind,.Mr...Whito, "that I offered to givo 81,000 to tho fund to repay Mr. Van Alon his 850,000 con tribution on condition that ho withdraw Ids application for tho appointment. "I don't bellovo tho appointment of Mr. Van Alen should bo confirmed by tho somite. , You can quote mo as saying that ho did contribute 850,000 to tho campaign hind. "Contributions in campaigns are nee- 'cssary, but contributions made through promises of certain positions of honor should bo roundly denounced. Still, it is only fair to a person who has mado a contribution upon tho promise or a cer tain ollice, that ho should have tho amount of that contribution roturned to him." Mr. White said ho iiad not seen Mr. Gilder for several months. CuiOAOo, Oct. 0. (Special Commit CorresK)iidonce.- She waB a coy young woman and sho looked decidedly pretty in her now summer costume when Guard White discovered her sitting on one of tho divans in the art gallery yesterday afternoon. Ho gave her several of his most killing looks and she responded witit tho sweetest of smiles, and tho heart of tho young man In blue beat so hard that the kettledrums in tho Turk ish village were not to bo compared for sound. As ho gazed into the young woman's limpid eyes tho orderof Colonel Rice that all members of tho Columbian Guard must desist from tllrtlng was for gotten. As he walked proudly to and fro each turn brought him nearer to the smiling beauty and each time his manly bosom wiib thrilled by tho look bIio gave him. This sort of thing went on for several minutes, when she arose, and as she swept into tho vestibule, shu cast him a sidolong glanco which plainly said: "Follow me." The guard did so. Hy the side of ono of tho columns stood his charmer, and sho extended a dainty hand, which sank out of view in his white glove. After ti few minutes' con. versa t ion tho girl asked for the time, and Guard White gallantly pulled from his veHt pocket tho handsome gold watch which ho carried. "Oh, it is half past three," she cried, "and 1 must lot mamma know tho time. Sho sltB right in thoto. Poor, dear thing, sho is awfully deaf, and ono has to scream 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 j bo right back." It took tho guard less than a second to uusnap tho 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. it chair in front of the theatre, and, by a series of Indescribable facial and hodjly gymnastics, eoutrivesto so impress upon his audience tho oxiiulsltcly Intuitu wlclr odnessof the show to be seen within, that the people Hock Inside In swarms, nnd well, tho fakir's ptiipofo is qulo achieved.

The Frenchman found this out before he had been in Cnicago forty-eight hours, and he does not hesitate to say so. Just what ho expected Chicago to be he does not make plain. Whether he thought to tind it Egyptian or Finnish or Hungar ian or Swuttish ho leaves quite undeter mined; but that he wus.startled to Hnd it American Ib evident, from tho wealth of interjections and exclamations with which ho proclaims his ingenious dis covery of tho truth.

I think on (hi) whole that they had better have let tho fakirs talk themselves black in tho face before thoy turned the Mldwuy into "a morgue." Philip D. Armour is a short-set, broad built, prosperous-looking mini, with a ruddy, open face and dark sldo whiskers. Ho is severely self-made. Six and forty years ago he drove a itmlo team ucross the plains of California and invested what littlo capital ho had in the grain business in Milwaukee. Then he bought an Interest in a pork-packing establishment and today his fortune is estimated at something like 850,000,000. Ho now, perhaps, is the most conspicu ous of all Chicago's multi-millionaires and is as modest us the proverbial schoolboy over whs and is oiio of tho plainest and most quiet-going of men both us to manner nnd mode of life. Of Into ill health has obliged him to restrict his diet to bread and milk. This would bo u sud ulliiction to some rich mon, but Mr. Armour has never culti vated his palate to an appreciation t of ortolans ana mimes ana no - imes a baked'apple for breakfast lis much as Heecher or Jay Gould used to. His recent gift or $1,500,000 to the univer sity of Chicago brought him into pro minence as a practical philanthropist. "He is the hardest man to go against in a grain or provision deal that I know of," said a friend of his 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."

Such lias been tho universal verdict within the last two weeks as a consequence of the rather unlooked-for order, :ompoti lug the fakirs or drummers for the side shows along tho hitherto merry Mid. to hold their peace. I am really at a loss to account for so silly and useless a mandate on the part of tho authorities. At tho eleventh hour of tho fair it boouib to ue that a feature that had grown to bo looked upon us one of tho Indispens able adjuncts of lifo in tho Midway might have been tolerated until tho crowds went home. The bawling of tho fakirs at least kept things up to concert pitch; it lent excitcmout to a tout en semble never at any time too lively, and now that the mandato of the authorities has silenced the loud-mouthed gentlo men who in times past havo kept things humming, so to speak, with their vociferous, and sometimes, it must bo confessed, discordant cries, there is noth ing to do but accept the inevitable and traverse tho hitherto merry Midway in a sort of trance, wondering what earthly object tho director general and his as sociates hoped to attain by abolishing a feature that amused and entertained infinitely moro people than it wearied or shocked. In some respects tho silence that the Midway fakirs are, by tho recent orders, forced to maintain, is considerably more suggestive than any of tho speeches they have heretofore felt called upon to utter. My friend, tho fakir for tho Persian theatre, for instance, Is apparently in his element. Tho four or live Columbian guards who stand perpetually in front of ids rostrum awaiting an opportunity to arrest him, are subjected to continu ous disappointment; inasmuch as he never pcrmitu a single spoken word to escape him. His gesticulations, how ever, ii.-e much more eloquent than any BKkcu words could be.

' CllMlll lllllt llllll Kll(llll, Kditor of Tin: S mm cm Mdiinimi Ctirituut : The list of "words and phrases that should bo avoided" in your issue of September 'M, is with some exceptions, wife to follow. Hut a few expressions havo been classed as incorrect, that aro far from it. "Had rather" and "had hotter" are lis good English as one can write. The Columbus that discovered theso errors was a HMr seavigator in tho waters of "hnd English." In such expressions, had is followed by an iutiuitive without tho word to. "Posted for informed" is supported by the leading authorities, Stormouth, Webster and tho great Century diction ary. "Posted" is woll sot and will hold its placo undisturbed by shallow criti cism. "Above for foregoing" is standard En glish. "Fix, for arrango or prepare" is given honorablo position by tho authori ties named. Fix is ono of our vigorous woids always ready to load a hand; it never gets dusty or rusty. "los)t, for station." Depot bus won a place, and in this country it takes the lead of "station." "Healthy, for wholoBome." It would have been better to have said "healthy for heathful, though healthy used in the sense of wholesome Is supported by good usage. "Funny for odd or unusual" calls to mind the observation made by Dr. Drummoiid, tho celebrated Scotch lecturer, now in this country, who re marked that ho was an ardent admirer of tho American people, but regretted that their so meager. Elegant wraps vocabulary of adjectives was Hknisv S. .Toms. TuuCouitimi Is disposed to be con siderate, It dislikes very much to say anything that might hurt anybody's feelings. And now when circumstances seem to make It necessary that this paper should give cursory consideration to that irrepressible statesman of the Fourth ward, Captain Phelps Paine, the utmost care will be taken not to say anything to which that gentleman or his friends might take exception. There wiih a meeting of the lepubllcan county central committee at tho Capital hotel Monday afternoon, and Ham E. .Low, tho committeeman from the Fourth ward being absent, and Paine, tho man who carries tho Idea in Ills head that he carries the Fourth ward mound in his pocket, being in oonvenlent, pioxiinlty, was invited, through the courtesy of the Miiunittoo, to act for Mr. Low. Now Pablo's conduct throughout tho meet ing, in a presence to which ho wiih only admitted by courtesy, wiih such as to warrant Tun Coumr.n or any other con sorvntoror the public peace in making some harsh remarks, remarks that might givo tho gentleman u pain; but this Tin: CouniF.it will not do. In the kindliest manner possible wo would merely sug gest to tho captain the advisability of IiIb climbing a very tall tree and getting permanently eff tho earth where he Is at present tho sourco and ciiiimh of much unnecessary trouble. Captain Palno and his mouth, which unfortu nately, ho dopH not carry in his ookol as Ho imagines hodoes tho Fourth ward, not only make people tired, but disturb the public peace. HIbiiioio or less tin Intelligible remarks at tho county cen tral committee mooting ubout "gag rule," etc.. seriously interrupted tho business of the meeting, and his win duct did not rellect credit upon tho Fourth wurd, u ward that prides itsolf tiH)ii its blue Btockinged culture. There is really no pxcubo for Palno and his offenses aro sometimes glaringly migrant; nut it he will climb that tree nnd Btuy thero Tim Coi:niF.ie;"Hpeaking for tho public, hhbiii-ch tho captain that all will bo forgiven. In the meantime wo would Hiiggest that Colonel Low attend all meetings of the county cen tral committee in person hereafter, o Souiii time ago, In the early Huiihnor, the Young Men's Republican club gave a banquet, and at a time when there was no political excitement, the club succeeded in arousing the most intense interest. The club, which, by tho way, is be coming one of the most noted political organizations in tho state, has mado another move. It proposes to onon the campaign iu tiiis county, and it will do it next week iu a manner quite in keep ing with its reputation.
