DENVER, July 3.-For the first time in the history of national con ventions an attempt will be made in connection with the democratic con vention to be held here next week to maderate the temperature of the hall by the use of snow, and preparations are under way for the experiment. After the date for the opening of the convention is almost a week re-i Press moved Denver considers herself in readiness for that event and while no one can estimate the number of strangers who may be attracted to the city, not a resident but will as sure you that all will be well cared for. Probably the most marked evi dence of preparation to be found is in the new convention hall, a magni ficent structure which has been errect ed in the heart of the city at a cost of $400,000. It is a permanent build ing, but it will be christened by the convention and it is even now in read iness for the reception- of delegates. So nicely was the work on the hall calculated that the building has just ben completed. Indeed, if necessary the big meting could begin tomorrow. Nothing remains but to string a few strips of bunting across the band stand and put in place the large paint ing of Grover Cleveland which is to adorn the end of the building facing the presiding office. The Cleveland picture will be one of four only that will be given space in the enclosure. The policy is to place in the hall only the likenesses of departed democrats, but an exception is made in the case of George Washington. Washington's portrait finds a place immediately over the seat of the chairman and is flanked on the right by the picture of Jackson and on the left by that of Jefferson. Cleveland's portrait will face all of the others from the far end of the hall, distantly separated from them in space as he was from the other originals in time. The proverbial democratic rooster will give place to the eagle, and there will be many specinient of that bird. They are already in place and all cluster about the platform of the pre siding office. Denver has been dryer in points of weather this summer than usual, and also warmer, and advice has been hit upon which it is believed will both moisten and cool the atmosphere. This result it to be accomplished by introducing snow from the moun- , tains in liberal quantities. The new ; Denver Railroad know as the Moffat i Line, crosses the continental divide J fifty miles west of the city and runs through innumerable beds of perpet ual snow, and this line has been con tracted with to bring to the city large quantities of snow which will be dis tributed through the hall in barrels. The confident expectation is that it will vastly improve the atmosphere, and it is known that if it does not ac complish this result it will at least prove a novelty to the visitors from the states in which snow in the sum mer is unknown. Every succeeding day emphasizes the fact that in many respects the approaching convention wilr- be a du plicate of the present Republican Con vention at Chicago, and two of the most pronounced features of similar ity will be the contests over the vice presidency and the injunction plank in the platform. As was the case with Senator Dol liver, Judge Gray is the leading can didate, if he can be'called such in the fact of his assertion to the contrary, and as in the former case he has the support of the leading candidate for first place. Mr. Bryan is unequivocally for him and delegates from all sections ex- satisfaction at the mention of OCEAN LINERS A MILE LONG Ushers For Fifth Avenue Pedestrians Another Remarkable Harriman DiscoveryBig Bill Devery to Join Airship Brigade. his name: If Judge Gray should de dine, the concensus ot opinion is favorable to throwing the office to New York. As was the case at Chic ago, the ultimatum has already gone forth that if New York wants the compliment she must show her good faith by getting together and agree ing upon a candidate as the republican did upon Mr. Sherman. Again, there is a division and in addition to the names of Stanchfield and Harrison, the name of Charles A. Towne is now frequently mentioned and his friends are making strenuous claims in his behalf. The New York delegation will not arrive until a few days be fore the beginning of the convention and its capacity for agreement may not be unfolded until the scene of activities is reached and the situation fully explained to its members. Un less there is a decidedly greater tend ency toward compromise than is now manifested, the real fight will be over the anti-injunction plank, but the leaders declare that before the com- mittee on platform is appointed a substantial agreement will have been reached and the committee will be relieved of the necessity ot a pro longed sitting. In Chicago the fight was against the insertion of any in junction plank at all. Here all admit the necessity of some declaration, but many oppose the pronouncement for previous notice in injunction proceed ings. There has been much commun ication with Mr. Bryan on this point but apparently his attitude is not clearly understood and probably it will not be until his draft of the plank which he is understood to be prepar- l Although Broadway known as the ing is received.

While the as scrtion may at first glance have the appearance of a hot weather dream it is borne out in a surprising man ner by naval statistics. The archi tect in question bases his prediction on the advance of the last hundred years, since it has been just a century since the first steamboat was proven a commercial possibility. In that century transatlantic vessels have grown from an initial length of 130 feet to 810 feet, and it is now asserted that in the next hundred years the increase based on the demands of travel and traffic will be equally great Travel statistics show that during the last century the growth of transatlan tic steamers from Fulton's 130 foot boat has been six fold. Following this line of progression which navel architects asserts will hold good for the next ten decades the present re cord-holding vessel 810 feet long will have evolved into. A liner nearly mile in length. While at present the maximum number of passengers that can be carried by the largest steam ships is something like 5,000, the year 2008, according to this prediction, will see steamers carrying 800,000 pas sengers across the Atlantic in thirty hours, it being estimated that by that time tne speed achieved will be at least 100 miles an hour. Perhaps the most surprising feature aside from the size of future vessels as predicted by naval architects based on cold fig ures is the tremendous power that will be required to drive these future leviathans. While 70,000 horse pow er is developed by the largest liners at present, it is figured that another century will see this total increased to the absolutely astounding sum of 12,000,000 horse power, carrying in addition to the 800,000 passengers some fifteen million tons of freight The hull of a vessel of this size may be sensed by the statement that it will be 440 feet wide, and 540 in height Altogether the monsters which will carry future generations across the Atlantic in a day and a half, or less, will be of proportions to stagger the present imagination. Actually how ever, the prediction of their coming involves no wilder flight of the imag ination than the prophecy of an 800 foot liner capable of crossing the Atlantic in four and a half days would have been considered by those who saw Robert Fulton start the first steamboat up the Hudson a century ago. guage than is employed in the repub lican platform.

At least t&at will be its title of the organization York, ncording to the public court record. The llarrimnn in 'question however is one tunned Hill, mid no rotation lo the fatuous financier. His claim to the title of the wickedist man in the metropolis is bused on the fact that he, Hill Harriman at present In durance vile, has a whole page in the police court blotter devitcd to his niisdnings-a record, it is said, never before equalled in the initial of petty erimes in the city. The record be comes all the time more remarkable when it is known that this, the cham pion bad man of Father Knicker bocker's town, is only twenty years old. The escapade which completed Mr. Bill Harriman' pedigree on the police blotter coines near being his last, since it involved nothing less than an inebriated attempt to steal an automobile, Bill, or Mr. Harri man as he prefers to be called, observ ed the machine on his way home early one morning. With a yell he sprang into the driver's seat yanked a lever ami started a wild ride which ended only in a police cell. With this last commitment however he broke all previous records, Mr. Bill Harriman to be extremely contrite the next day though sensible of the burden of his name.

BRYAN TO HEARST Commoner Throws Sop to the New York Editor AFTER THE HEARST VOTES Delegates go to Lincoln to Visit Bryan, Who Returned. Early And Got a Good Night' Rest Today Will be Busy Time. The newest and straightest pro fession in New York is that of 'modeling model." Eighty-four per cent of all ready made cloaks and Ircsscs worn throughout the country, it is asserted, are fitted and worn on a few score of specially trained women in this city. I lie discoverer ol the new profession of training these models who earn as much as fifty dollars a week, asserts however that their preparation is really an art. By the modeler the subjects arc trained to wear and display alt sorts of gowns in the most effective way. Depart ment stores have already learned to call upon these modelers for display girls, specifying the size and height wanted as if they were merely papier mache figures. That the work is an art, however, is shown by the fact that a pretty face and fine figure arc among the least requirements for a successful model, since it has already been demonstrated that a girl lacking both these may yet through her ar tistic appreciation of the garment which she wears for display purposes! be most successful. It is not a un common thing in this new profession for one of the models to wear $10,000 worth of clothes in a single day. In addition to her salary she receives a percentage on the sale influenced by the manner in which she wears and displays each gown. Dieting, exer cise and calesthenies play a large jiart in the successful training of the mem bers of this,- strange profession. LINCOLN, Neb.. July 3 -That William J, Bryan would have a busy day today wa evident as early as three o'clock in the morning when delegation en route to Denver began arriving on 'n-coming trains. The delegates from many states are sched uled to rsach here during the day and in anticipation of the large influx of 'visitors Mrs Bryan took advantage of a comparatively quiet evening to re tire early and get a good night's sleep.

Big Bill when he is not engaged in for- casting political distress, occupies a waterfront home in Long Island, where in recent years he has astonish ed the natives with his golden vic toria. In this vehicle he has been accustomed to dazzle the frequenters of the bathing beach. Now, however, it appears that even this regal con veyance will have to be retired. Big Bill has been fenced off from his water front and the public highway well. Time was when to do this would have required more than ordin ary courage and pull but now that Devery is merely a private citizen things have changed. Devery how ever has succeeded m saving a nar row path to the water front- and as serts that before he will allow his golden victoria to be rendered useless he will resort to a flying machine to cover the ground between his house and the ocean, and thence take his private submarine to the city office which he still maintains. Already it is said negotiations have been begun for the air ship, and the big ex-chief is only waiting to hear from Presi dent Roosevelt before ordering a sub marine. That he is going to fight cannot be doubted and that he will adopt extraordinary means of getting from his home to the highway and the Ocean is already certain. If his plans succeed it is rumored that chief Bingham will recall him, to captain New York's submarine, and air ship police squads, , YTTi TT 31 OOQl All our wines and U quors are guaran teed under the Pure Food Law.
