CIGARS

Some men love their toddy best
Others like a joke,
But Tam afraid my weakness Is
An after dinner smoke.
I've tried the many different grades,
OF choice Havana leaf,
And to tell the candid truth
This is my firm belief.
That BeaPs Is the best Cigar
Obtainable in town;
It's merits have stood severest test,
And thereby gained renown.
Experience teaches, so they say;
So have made the test,
And Join with others who did the same
That Beal's is the best.

STEERING CLEAR OF PLATT.
NATIONAL COMMITTEE. IT IS SAID, OBJECTS
TO BEING TOO NEIGHBORLY AT THE
FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL.

.Too much Plattr' is ascribed the principal
reason for the National Committee not wishing TO
have the Eastern headquarters on the second floor
Of the Fifth Avenue Hotel where fourteen rooms
are alleged 10 be available. 1t said last night
that this suite of rooms really just about what
the National Committee wanted but that owing
to the fact that the Republican State Committee

When Mr.. Gibbs first heard the rumor he laughed
and said that 1t was absurd. But it was noticed
that there little talk yesterday OF having the
Eastern headquarters at the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
Mr. Gibbs looked over suite of offices on one Of
the upper floors of the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Building yesterday and it is believed that the head
quarters will be located in that building although
there is not quite so much room as the committee
could use to advantage. MI Gibbs last night sent
on to Joseph H. Manley ip Maine a letter telling
about the different rooms he had inspected. Mr.
Gihhs said that Mr.. Marley had advised him that
he would not be in New York till the first of next

already been made to secure a lease of. II
twenty-one years These arrangements were not
part of minority 1t thought best to drop the
matter.
Serious consideration has also been given to the
St Luke's Hospital property opposite the south
west corner. In looking this site the committee
recommended that plot with a frontage of 50 feet
and depth of 100 feet be bought. which would
place the club fifty feet away from the University
Club. This was thought desirable. since the new
clubhouse as proposed Is to be considerably smaller
and less ornate than the University Club and
would suffer from direct contact with it.
critics have been considered the most desirable
for the new home of the club If Mckinley and
Roosevelt win. feel certain they will I think
1t very possible that will build these
sites. The building, according to present plans Is
not TO cost more than 100000.

NO STATEMENT FROM FORAKER.
OHIO SENATOR LEAVES TOWN WITHOUT
EXPLAINING THE ALLEGED CHANG
ING OF THE PLATFORM.

Senator J. B. Foraker Of Ohio, left town yes
terday without making any explanation to the
newspaper men waiting at the Waldorf-Astoria
about the mysterious disappearance Of the new
islands and ship subsidy planks Of the Repubh-
can National platform. 1t will be remembered
that Congressman Grosvenor made the direct
charge that the panks had been surrepuuously
removed after the one containing an extract
from the Presidents Message concerning the
policy of the party toward the new island pos
sessions had been approved by the President
himself and General Grosvenor said that AFTER
the subcommittee of the Committee on Resolu-
tons had approved the draft of the platform
these planis had been "drivelled out by dr1vel-
Ter from New-York," referring to Lemuel e.
Ou5gg secretary of the committee. Mr.. Quigg
denied the charge and General GrosVenor re-
asserted II, saying that he had the original
document which Quigg was supposed 10 nave
copied correctly.
Senator Foraker member or the SUD
committee told a Tribune reporter on Tuesday
night that he would make a statement yester-
dav concerning the alleged juggling or the plat
form as was stated in The Tribune yesterday
The newspaper men waited nearly all day at the
Waldorf for the Senator, who occupied room NO
Goa on the sixth floor of the hotel. Cards were
sent up at intervals, but the message invariably
was the Senator is not in At . O'Clock mes
senger who went to his room returned with the
announcement that Senator Foraker had given

Governor Roosevelt has informed the Republic
can National Committee, through its vice-chair-
man. H. c. Payne that he is going to give three
solid weeks 10 campaign work in the State Of
New-York after August 90
THE Governor seems TO be impressed with
the need Of putting in lot OF hard work in his
home State" said Mr.. Payne, just before start
ing for Cleveland last night THE National
Committee holds similar view, and three weeks
will be blocked out for the Governor in his own
State All the rest of the time will be at the

than he ever was before for a given length of
time"
Colonel w T. Durbin, Republican candidate
for Governor of Indiana. conferred with Mr..
Payne at the Waldorf last night with reference
to having Governor Roosevelt deliver campaign
speeches in that State. 1t was finally arranged,
subject to the approval Of the National Commit

Der of the principal cities of the Hoosier State
in the latter part of September or the first week
in October Colonel Durbin wanted to have 1t
arranged so that Governor Roosevelt would
speak in Michigan City on his return from
Oklahoma City next week, but Mr.. PAYNE sald
that Governor Roosevelt was averse to making
any speeches until after he is informed OF his
nomination on July y. Colonel Durbin said
that company of the l6lst Indiana volunteers
