A DESIRABLE PARTI.

Oliver III. Payne, BrOther-in-Lawo OF Secretary
Whitney, a Confirmed Bachelor.
Washington Special
There is fntter among the manageable
girls of the city over report that Col. Oliver H
Payne, the millionaire brother Of Secretary
Whitney's wife, is to spend the winter in Wash.
ington. but he told me in New York the other
day that the story is not true He is con-
hrmed old bachelor, and is in no sense
a society man. Colonel Payne is about fifty
years old, has a pleasant manner and q
handsome face. and is extremely proud
of his sister. The house the Whitneys live in at
New York belongs TO him. and while they are in
Washington he keeps bachelors hall there It is
one of the finest mansions on Fifth avenue near
the Vanderbilt houses, and cost 81, 600. 900 or So
Colonel Payne is very rich having made his
money in the Standard OH Company, of which
be is the treasurer. His father is the Senator
from Ohio, and his brother, Col. Nate Payne
was the leader of the Democracy at Cleveland
He died several years ago. after serving for two
terms as Mayor of that city.
While Colonel Payne is still the nominal treas
urer of the Standard Oil Company. he ceased to
have an active part in it's management some
years ago, and does little now but draw his diyi-
dends which are very large. He was one of the
original members of the company with Rocka-
Teller and Flagler, and used to have his office at
the works at Cleveland For the last FIVE or six
years he has lived life of ease in New York in
a quiet way for his health is poor, and he has to
take great care OF nimsalf. He Is never seen
at the clubs and seldom at the hotels buthas a
little party Of cronies with whom he can always
be found They are Calvin Brice Colonel Ter
rill, John G. Moore General Thomas and John
Shaw, of California, all of whom are rich and
interested in banks and railroad schemes to-
gether. The party meets at the residence of each
in turn nearly every evening for game of cards,
and where one is seen the rest may be found
near by. They have q handsome railway
car. made for them 80 order by the Pullman
company. and take long trips together. Colonel
Payne Is interested in the railroad schemes with
the others, bnt leaves all of the business for
them TO attend to. and takes little interest in 1t
himself This week they start for months
journey in their car for the Northwest, via Chi
cago and St Paul, as far as Winnipeg, returning
by way of the Canada Pacific and Montreal.
When Mrs. Whitney came TO Washington her
brother gave her q check for $500, 900, and told
her if she wanted more to draw On him.

In the dim kindling buds of dreams that keep
