Compliment From Portlander As the three fire apparatuses slith ered up Bond street yesterday noon in answer to the call from the Utzin ger home, a Portland gentleman hap pened to be standing at the corner of Seventh street where he got a good view of the flying wagons. He re marked to a bystander (who proudly quoted hitn a few moments later), that "after a number of years' service ia the Portland fire department he Bad not ever seen any better work in getting to a fire, nor in the quick and proper disposition of the men," than was shown there yesterday; all of which is properly appreciated here. It if a pity this discriminating Port lander's name was not secured, for rare as is the June day of the poet, such commendation from a metropoli tan citizen matches it accurately. DENVER 'S BIG HALL A Pest A pest known as the "black ant" has worked considerable damage on the roof of the Shively school eating holes about the size of a small pea through two thicknesses of shingles, and so many in number that during a heavy rain, the water leaks through in large quantities. A composition of tar and asphalt will be given the roof which is expected to exterminate the pests. How Macaroni I Made. This Is bow macaroni Is made: To rery glutinous wheat flour is added a plentiful supply of dried eggs. Mixed with water, this becomes a dough, which Is so thickly kneaded as to be difficult to Impress with the fingers. Tlu.n it Is carried to a round press perforated with holes, through which the dough Is pressed by means of a heavy plate worked by a screw. The result is macaroni without holes in the sticks. Pipe macaroni U made through a slmiliar press, with the difference that a round piece of metal makes the central hole. As it issues in long, Bnaky ropes from the bottom of the press they are violently fanned to pre vent them from sticking together and are afterward taken out into the open and laid on long bamboo poles to dry. Two or three days' exposure in the warm, sunny air of Italy makes the dough pipes hard and brittle and fit to use for food. Is Built as a Permanent Structure WHERE DEMOCRATS.

A practical test was applied today to the great con vention hall, which the people of Den ver have erected especially for the Democratic National convention. Let none entertain the idea, as did many of the delegates before their arrival here, that the convention is to meet in a great barn-like temporary struc ture, hastily flung together with frail and inflammable materials to serve somehow for one occasion; of doubt ful acoustic properties and scant fit ness for even a temporary purpose. The first impression the stranger gets from a view of the building is that of permanency. Granite and steel, brick and concrete have been used without stint. This is first of all a vast house for conventions, not only this one, but many yet to gather from all parts of the country. On the other hand, for the people of Denver it is to be a home theater, well planned, con venient and of reasonable proportions to house in comfort audiences to be gathered in a wideawake city of nearly 2()0,(X)0 people. The building, of pale gray brick and granite, occupies the entire Four teenth Street half of the block on the east side of 14th Street between Cur tis and Champa Street on the western edge of the, business section of the city and within easy walk of the hotel and railroads. It is a massive struc ture effective in design and with a beauty of its own. There is entire I j Cures Coughs, Colds, Croup, La Grippe, Asthma, Throkt and Lung Troubles.

THE ORIGINAL LAXATIVE HONEY and TAR In the YELLQW PACKAOH " absence of tawdry, "ginger bread' effects and the lines are simple and stately, yet graceful and pleasing. Within the arrangement of the audi torium appears to be especially well planned to secure the utmost of ca pacity and the greatest convenience of the delegates and others desirous of seeing and hearing. The arrange ment for the, platform and seating differs from that of the Chicago Col iseum in that while there the plat form was at one end of the Audi torium, it is at the side, so that no auditor is more than half the length of the hall from the speaker. The reservation for the delegates and alternates is in the center, extending clear across the hall; the space for spectators are at the ends and in the ample galleries. The arrangement of entrances and exits is more than ordinarily effective and it is said that in case of emer gency the auditorium could be emp tied and every person be on the street within two minutes. Fire ap paratus is located at convenient points and fifteen streams of water arc immediately available. As a mat ter of fact the building is practically lire proof, the floors arc of concrete aid the only material of an inflam mable sort is in the tcmparary plat forms and stairways erected for this convention and the immense amount of bunting used in the elaborate dec orations. These decorations are more pro fuse than at Chicago in a harmonious scheme of national flags and red, white and blue streamers. Masses of flags are placed at appropriate points while the ceiling is covered with Red, white and blue stars, each bearing the name of a state. Over the rost rum is an immense portrait of Wash ington, with Jefferson at one side and Jackson at the other, while from the middle of the opposite wall facing the speaker's dais another portrait of the late President Grovcr Cleveland. A very large number of incandescent electric lights is used in lighting the hall. CONVENTION (Continual from ptg I) the llryan forces by second the reso lutions present by them. Governor Francis, who was a member of the Cleveland cabinet, in tribute to the former chief breathed the spirit of personal association and deep admira tion. With the adoption of the reso lutions the enventin adjumed until noon tomorrow. Henry D. Clayton of Alabama was selected as permanent chairman of the convention. For other officers the temporary selections were made permanent. The committee on rules of order of business was adopted without change the rules governed the con vention at St. Louis. The selection was made lively for time by the presentation by John T. ( licks of Arkansas,, following resolu tion: "Resolved, that in all cases where the national convetnion is in conflict with the action of the seat conven tion, the action of the state conven tion shall be constructed to control." Several of the members hotly de nounced the resolution as undemo cratic and unworthy of the demo cratic party; that the convention en forced to unite the rule but left the matter of instructions as to the can didates to the conscience honor of the delefiales. Hicks withdrew his resolution, a bitter fight was thus averted. Immediately after being caller to order the platform committee pro ceeded to carry the wishes of Bryan declaring Governor Haskell of Okla homa the permanent chairman. Governor Broward of Florida ar gued in liberal pronouncement of im provement of the waterways. NRichard Pearson Hobson and Cgressi)ian Alabama presented the plea'for the incerasc of the navy, de clared .the imminent danger of war with Japan and predicting war during the next presidential administration. Samuel Gompcrs, John W. Mitchell and other labor leaders present, ar gued for the consideration by thi committee the suggestions which hi been tendered to the resolutions corir mittee in the Chicago covention and asked that they be incorporated in the platform. Senator Stone of Missouri asked Gompers whether the original injunction plank purporting had been drawn by Roosevelt and Taft, but which the republican convention re fused to adopt would be satisfactory to organized labor. "The American Federation of Labor not only does not want thtat declaration but would be poposed to it," Gompers replied.
