It Booms that the Republican Central Committee, vhicli waa clioaon by ox-Govornor Horrlok'B machine and which ho still con trols, is determined that lie ahull bo vindicated nt wlmtevor cost of purty harmony. When ho was defeated by -18,000 majority, whilo all the rest of the ticket was elected by about the smile majority, it was hopod that ho and his partisans would havo tho good sonse to absent Jthoni selves for awhilo from tho center front of tho Kopublican stugo in Ohio. But ho is still able to control 14 out of 21 votes of the Committee and now ho is brought forward for "vindication." It appears to theso astute gontlomeu that it is safe to again ail'rout the 150,000 Republicans who voted against him, by appointing him to sound their "keynote." It remain'f to be seen how many of them) will dance to the .Herrick piping.! Senator Overturf has announced that tho reason the Convention was tnkon from Columbus to Day ton is in the interest of ' "har mony." "Said Senator Overturf of Dola ware, member of the committee from the Eighth district, 'The primary reason that your city was not chosen was the f act that tho pseuuo party organ wus hostile. r'IMli ucra itfnPA anlrl utifl lnn f.linr H" -" ...... ..,.. X.VS..U v..v did not promote party harmonv and there was no earnest that there would be any cessation of this policy.' Other committee- nen expressed similar senti- trfieniB. uincinnati inquirer. yj Uut it seems to be thought ex B&edingly conducive to party bar ony to Haunt Mr. Herrick in the ces of his lf0,000 Republican posers. It seems that tho sober sense of onio of tho twenty-one members of the Republican Central Coni- mittoo was opposed to tho Herrick slate. But as in the last Republi can convention, there wero enough muck to the man who had ofllcinl ly created them to put the plan through. It was an open secret that lie wns not wanted at the front. The Ohio Sun account, July 19, soys: "Ono of the stories that was cir culated Wednesday wns that Sena tor Dick really wanted Governor Harris as temporary chairman of tho convontion ; that formor Gov ornor Horrick desired tho vindica tion that ho felt such an honor at the hands of his party would give him and therefore made a person al ploa to Governor Ilnrris that ho refuse to act as temporary chair man. Out of courtesy to his run ning mate on tho ticket lust fall, it 1b said that Governor Harris could not refuse and therefore stood firm against pressure that was brought to boar on him. For this rcuson, so it is suid, Secre tary Fliokinger went to the com mitteemen Tuesday night anil ov ulated tho word from tho Gover nor that undor no circumstances " would ho be a candidate nor would ti 10 accept the honor if tendered. In The opposition to Horrick wns tot thought to be as strong as it ulprovcd Wednesday afternoon, when sevan districts rullled around Gonoral Koifer, who is not bolioved ihIo havo known of tho plan." M Wo wish to say that according JJto our reliable inside information In, the above account is true, so far 'uat least as reluotanoo to bringing JjuHorrlok forward wus concerned. fl'lie samo peoplo who felt that his tt candidacy last year was a burden aUield that tho purty ought not to -Icnrry hitu again, They did all ruUhoy could to shelve him, short of hi ijb ren king with the organization, ji?lnit tho Ilerrlok grip on his coui- rinittoe was too strong. brl Frederick Bader, of the First jdistrlot, in explanation of the fjioppoItlqu of his district to Her" ered it. Uiid : '"Uj our way wo think that x hik should not be c - nindo an issue in tin coming cam palgn and thn ; is why wo voted ngainst in a It in, g him chairman of tho convention." But 11 ot' tho ill meuiborH thought it would bo a good thing to mnko lilni an issue. Thoreupon they made him an issue. It wa& known weeks ago in this olllce that tho slate had boon mado up for Horrick's temporary "koy noto" chairmanship, in order to his "vindication," and that it was no inoro possible to prevont its going through than it wus possible to prevent his rcnomination at the last Republican Statu Convention. In this security his partisans were resting, with no expectation of a break in the smooth operation of the plnn. But it seems that, without pre meditation or prearrangement, thore was a spontaneous outburst of effort ngainst liim by seven com mitteemen who had not yet been dragooned into absolute silence and submission. The Cincinnati Enquirer tells the stor' thus: "Then came the surprising ac tion upon the chairmanship. Maurice Maschke, of Cleveland, when the names of candidates wero called for, arose and brielly presented that of formor Gover nor Myron T. Herrick, Tt seemed to bo that hifi election was to be unanimous, when suddenly George Drake, of Parry county, represent ing tho Eleventh district, popped up and named General J. Warren Keii'er, of Springfield. On the roll-call, Messis. Bader and Mnag, of Cincinnati; Richard McCloud, of London; Norman Overturf, of Delaware; George Drake, of Corn ing; Congressman Dawes, of Marion, and Judge E. S. Souers, of New Philadelphia, voted for Koifer. "Amid a dead silence Chairman Gould annour.ced tho result: Her rick 14, and Keifer 7. Exactly one-third of the committee had opposed the former Chief Execu tive. No motion waB offered to make the selection unanimous. In stead Mr. Drake aroso and said that lie desired to explain to the committee tlmt the name of Gen oral Koifer had been offered as a candidate without his knowledge or consent. Immediately Mnschko jumped up to suy that Governor llerrick's name had been offered without any solicitation on tho part of that gentleman. 'It's n closed incident, gentlemen,' said Chairman Gould, as ho deftly turned tiie current of business in-, to another channol." rno auove, wiuou is a true au count, shows tho fooling of at least a minority of the committee. It was so strong against Horrick that it was not safo to try to make his appointment unanimous. The "deft" chairman slickly manngod to got pnst tho wholo ail'air with out open revolt, it remuiiis to bo seen whether it is "a closed inci dent." Wo again call attention to tho purpose of this astonishing action of the Committee: "Formor Governor Herriok want ed the vindication tlmt he felt suoli un honor at the hands of his party would give him." This can bo tho only purposo of bringing him forward. It is a direct ohnllonge to all who voted against him before It will bo so rogardod by tens of thousands of Republicans, Stalwart Republi can voters wo havo Just mot on tho street declare they will voto the whole Democratic tickot this fall us a rebuke to tho Horrick ma chine, This fooling is common, Scripture deolures that 'u word iltly spoken is like apples of gold i'l plotures (oru fruine) of silver." Whon 150,000 nnti-IIerriok Ro publicans of Ohio see him sur rounded by Orrin B, Gould, and Murk Slater, and John Malloy, they will think of an apple of brass iu a frame of load, Orrin B. Gould, chairman of tho Republican Committee, is tioHuie for Such a Bar boss who hns boon repudiated by tho hotter element of Republican ism in his county. As warden of the penitentiary, to which politi cal Job ho was appointed by Hor rick, ho embittered tho lust hours and hastened the death of Govern or Pattison by helping to organize a movement to defeat Governor Pattison's rights in tho peniten tiary control. For this, Gould was condemned and repudiated by every respectable Republican pa per of Ohio. Ho is a typical pro- saloon politician ull his sym pathies lie on tho saloon side. He is chairman of the Republican Committee, and voted to bring Horrick forward again. Mark Slater, another Horrick heeler from Dayton, und member of tho Republican Committee, who voted for llerrick's resurrection, ombnrrussed and humiliated Mr. Pattison in his last hours b' de manding that Secretary Ilouck should admit him to Mr. Patti son's sick-bed in order to satisfy Slater that the Governor wub in command of his mental faculties suillciently to put Slater out of olllce as State Printer. Tho in fernal insolence and indelicacy of tins demand was properly resent ed by Mr. Houck, and was in turn repudiated by decent Republicans all ovor Ohio. John Malloy, temporary secre tary of the Convention, is the man who was stopped from this build ing in his attempted manipulations of election roturns by the Associ ated Press the night of the elec tion last fall, iu order to recoup himself for his lost election bets. Malloy, Slater, Gould, Horrick, this is tho bright galaxy that is to bo central in the Republican skies at the noxt Convention. It is supposed it will attract tho wandering independent Republi cans back to the fold. On tho conrrarj, it will insure and perfect their disgust for the Herrick fac tion. ' When the report of tho Commit tee came out of their room into Columbus, a prominent Republican Representative in tho General As sembly was sitting in the Noil House lobby. Whon the action of tho Committee was told him, ho said : "My God! Look at what this Committee hns done! If we poli ticians, who aro on the inside feel about Hprrick as wo do, what will the rank and file of the hundreds of thousands of Republicans of the State, who do not have or want any offices, think of this putting Horrick forward again?" This is the conundrum which the intention to "vindicate" Hor rick has picclpitated upon tho party. Thore Is strong presumptive evi dence now in existence that ull this is part of a scheme to pick Horrick up out of tho position whore tho Republican votes of Ohio havo put him, and send him to tho United States Senate American Issue.

J'uuny stories, furthermore, are usually bused on something which is not funny at ull. Their point, in fact, often depend solelv upon an unsympathetic view of some great humun misfortune.

The use of concrete mu'-oniy prob ably begins vith the Romans, who employed it in road building and foundation work. Coming do,n from the tunc of the Romans, the ancient city of Ciudud Rodiigo has walls existing at the present day in which are buried large Inwldora ol! stone. These walls uie in a good state of preservation at the piesent time in fact, so much -o that thev still bear the prints of the boards which made up the foiiu which held the concrete in its soniiliquid state at the time it was put in. It is an interesting matter to note that the modern pructice of putting large masses of stone iu concrete masoniy follows e.acth the scheme mod in building these ancient walls of Cm dad Rodrigo.

ON BRIDGE WHIST. By HUGH McllUGH GEORGE Y. HOBART "In One of Those Department 8tore Mobs." I received a letter tho other day that 'put me over the ropes.

"Dear John, could you please tell me how to play biidge whist, so that when I go to the seashore I will be aimed for defraying expenses. "Dear John, I am sure that If I could play bridge whist loud enough to win four dollars every onco in awhile I could spend a large hunch of the summer at the seashore. "Dear John, would you tell a lov ing but pei feet sti anger how to play the game without having to wear a mask? "Dear John, I played a couple of games recently with a wide-faced young man who grow very playful and tlitew the parlor furniture at me because I trumped his ace. I fancy I must have did wrong.

It was up to me to hand Gladys the frosty get-hack, so this Is what I said: "Respected Madam: I'm a slob on that bridge whist thing, plain poker be ing tho only game with ranis that ever coaxes my dough fiom the stocking, but I'll do the advice gag if it chokes mo- "Biidgo whist is plajed with cards, Just like pinochle, with tho exception of thu beer.

The next day, In order to square my self with my wife for getting a letter I hadn't any use for, Iwenttooneoftho.se New York department stores to get her a birthday piesent. Say! did you ever get tangled up In one ot those department store mobs and have a ciowd of perfect ladles use you lor a door mat.' I got mine! They ceitalnly taught me the Ro- jestveasky glide, all light! At the door of the department stoie a nice young man with a pink necktie and a quick foiehead bowed to me. "What do you wish?" he asked. "Well," I said, "I'm down here to get a birthday pi esent for my wife. I would like something which would afford her gieat pleasure when I give it to her and which I could use aftei wards as a pen wiper or a fishlng-iod." "Second floor; to the right; take the elevator," said the man. Did you ever try to take an elevator in a department store and find that 2.U43 other Amei Iran citizens and citizenettes were also trying to take the same ele vator? How sweet It is to mingle In the arms of utter strangers and to feel the gentle pressm e of a foot we never hope to meet again! I was standing by one of the counters on the second floor when a sin ill oleo crept up over a few bales ot dry goods and said: "Aie you a buyer or a han dler."' "I am looking for a bhthday present for my wife," I answeiod. "I want to get something that will look swell on tho pallor table and may be used later ou as a tobacco jar or a tiousor sti etcher!" "Kouith floor; to tho left; take the elevatoi!" said the lady's voice. With bowed head I walked away. I hpg.iu to feel sot ry for my wife. Nobody seemed to bo very much In tel ested whether she got a hltthday iu esent or not On thu fouith floor I stopped at a counter where a lot of eager dames weie pawing ovoi some chinchilla ribbon and chiffon oveisklits. It lemlnded me of the way our dog digs up the vegetables iu the garden. I enjojed the excitement of the gamo for about ton minutes and then I said to the tleik behind the counter who was lefeieelng the match: "Can you tell me wheio I cau buy a sterling silver birthday piesent for my wife which I could use afterwards as a night key or a bath sponge?" "rifth floor; to the rear; take the ele vator!" said the clerk. On the fifth floor I went ovor to a ta ble whom a young lady was selling "The Life and I.ibinilosof Audi ey Cat negle ut foui dollars a month aud DO cents a week, and in tinea years it is youis If you don't lose tho receipts. She gave mo a glad smile and I felt a thrill of encouragement.

'I he young lady cutout the giggles and pointed to the northwest, I went over thoie. To my surpi Iso I found another coun ter. A pule young woman was bohlnd It. I wus just about to ask her the fatal question when u young man woailng a ragtime, expiesslon on his face rushed up and said to the young lady behind the counter: "I am looking fur a suit able pie.ient for a young lady filenr. of mine with golden blown hair. Could you please suggest something?" The saleslady showed her teoth and uusvveted him in a low, rumbl'.ig voice, and tho man went away.

Aftor about i0 people had rushed up to the suleslady and then rushed away again, I went over and spoke to her. "I am looking," I said, "for a birthday present for my wife. I want to get some thing that will give her a great amount of pleasure and which I can use later on as a plpo cleaner or a pair of suspend ers!" The saleslady fainted, so I moved over. At another counter another young lady said to me: "Havo you been wait ed on?" "No," I replied; "I have been ctepped on, sat on and walked on, but I haw not yet been waited on." "What do you wish?" Inquired the young woman. "I am looking for a birthday present for my wife," I said "I want to buy her something that will bring great Joy to her heart and which I might use after wards as a pair of slippers or a shav ing mug." The young lady caught me with her dreamy eyes and held me up agnlnst the wall. "You," she screamed; "you complete a total of 2J.19S people who have been in this department store to-day without knowing what they aie doing here, and I refuse to be a human encyclopaedia for the sake of eight dollars a week. On your way for yours!" I began to apologize, but she reached down undei the counter aud pulled onl a club.

Thomas Jefferson, when he left col lege was one of the best Latin, Grek and Fiench scholars In his native state of Virginia. At his majority he came Into ,iu Income of ?'J,O0l) a year, which In those days, 1757, was as good as $d,000 a year in these. Jefferson was six feet two in his stockings (they didn't wear socks in those days), and an all-round athlete, a dandy dancer and an expert violinist. As Washington's secretary ot state he advocated state sovereignly and de centralization. Alexander Hamilton, Washington's secretary of the treaa uiy, was just as stiff for centralisation. Washington took tho middle course between the two gieat ilvals. Jelferson, as president, eschewed all pomp and ceremony On his two in auguration days, instead of driving to the cnpltol in a coach and six as bad been the practice, he rods theie a horseback, without u guard or even a servant In his tialu, dismounted with out assistance, and hitched the bridle of his horse to a fence. He could be gentle as a lambkin and as bard as nails. Kitchen Jiu-Jitsu. It is said that Japanese wrestling Is l-olng taught Iu the London night schools. Punch gives color to the ru mor. There had been so much noise that the mistress ot the house went below stairs to see what had happened. "May I ask," she said from the kitchen door, "the meaniug ot this dis graceful behavior?" A new Buttons, a very small boy, spoke up: "The butler and me, mum, ad at little difference of opinion, mum. So I give 'im a little joo-Jitso, mum," The mistress ot the house, in obe dience to a gesture from Uuttous, looked under the dresser, where the tall butler lay in a state ot astonished collapse.

After beaiching hU pockets and the diawers of his dealt, he rose to the occasion and pocketed the bill us he reached for a digest "1 gueaa, neighbor," he remarked aa he resumed his neat.
