DELEGATES DOING LITTLE
Picture of Former President Grover
Cleveland Will Adorn the Wall, But
Alas, the Traditional Rooster Will
Give Place to the Eagle.
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

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

sons of the present generation will
cross the Atlantic in 24 hours on
steamers a mile long. 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.

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

three o'clock in the morning when
delegation en route to Denver began

in anticipation of the large influx of
'visitors Mrs Bryan took advantage of
a comparatively quiet evening to re
