CHICAGO, Jan. 9, 1851 have just re-
turned from New York where all the people
in Newspaper Row are laughing at the more
than immense sell perpetrated on Charlie
Faye, New York correspondent of the Chi
cago Ne'cS by Frank Richards, of the Chicago
Times but now of New York. The ''beneft''
occurred last summer, but it has only now
become public property. Charlie will be re-
membered as the ''great American enter
tainer" OF the Minneapolis Tribune, and
when he gravitated to Chicago and finally to
New York this peculiarly gravitated with
him. Frank Richards is one of the best
posted men on metropolitan places and
topics in the Row. He spent year or two
in the northwest. as his many friends in ST..
Paul will remember, and recently returne ed
to New York. Charlie Faye met him. He
was delighted to meet Chicago man in New
York. ''Ww-why, Richards, how are youl
C-c-come up and take dinner with me at the
Hoffman tonight, and afterwards I'll show
you around town. he said, effusively.
''Show me around town. Richards muir
INJURED mentally. "Well, I'll be-no l won't
either. III let Mr.. Fresh show me around
Thanks, Charlie, you're an angel; I'm
glad / struck you, and will accept your inYi-
tation," Frank replied. Faye was gratifed
beyond measure.
Come, now" he said excitedly, "we'll 60
up to Central park, and I'll show
you the obelsk. Never saw the obelisk! o,
it, DE-
take you down to Harry Hill's tonight, and
all around. You want to come and see me
when you're in New York. l show all the
Chicago boys how the old thing w-w-works.' -
They started. At the Hoffman Richards
was becomingly impressed with the royal
splcndor of the bar and cafe, and when the
twain seated themselves at one of the tables
in the bar and the waiter brought them a
napkin with the drinks and pretzel, Rich
ards said 20 my, isn't this more than gayi"
Beats anything in Winnipeg"
"W-w-winnipeS. Why. that's no town at
all, compared with this Why its even bigger
than Minneapolis. Speaking of M-m-min-
neapolis, how's the Tribune getting along,
anyway; that was no place for me, was it,

they couldn't get along without me. Hellol
there goes M-mapleson. He knows me.
WHY, R-rchards, they all know me here.

''The devil you dol said Richards.
''Point him out when he comes in. VIII he

Well let's 20 to dinner"
The dinner was toes ha ha, au fat aud
chic, to tue last degree. 81 Intend to take

said Charlie, "that we will have 10 90 to-

was RECALLED with the latest exclusive inside
journalistic gossip and kindred subjects, for

expressed his thanks and obligations.

Richards grasped Faye's hand and one sol
itary tear rolled down his cheek, as he said !:
"Charle, you're my friendr'
"Ol course am, and the friend of all the
Chicago boys, IS they all know on the
N-B-eJrs."
Faye concluded it would be advisable
TO impress Richards with a glance at
metropolitan msgniicence before introducing
him 70 the equalOr Of the bowery, and sc-
cordingly took hin to Fifty-nintn street and
Seventh avenue aud gave him an outside
