Denver, Qolo., July 3. This western metropolis today for the first time is beginning to take on convention airs and show signs that a democratic national convention is to be held. The main streets are gaily decorated with flags and bunting. Big guns like Alton B. Parker, Charles II. Murphy, "Pat" McCarren and Congressman Grancis Burton Harrison of New York are due late this afternoon. A wire was received by Roger C. Sullivan

from George K. Brennan stating that j he left Chicago yesterday on the same train with Murphy and McCarrci Along with Brennan the James Long and I'atrick Xash of Chicago. The delegates are commencing to pour in and the Fourth of July promises to see great convention deliberations under a full head of steam. The prospective permanent chairman of the convention. Representative Henry D. Clayton of Alabama, got in before 9 o'clock this morning. He has been in Lincoln conferring with Mr. Bryan, and indicated that lie would give a premium fir a nice, quiet place in which to write a ringing speech. Uryunili-s Clini; to Gray. The vice-presidential race is in the air. The Bryan m-n are reluctant to give up the possibility of JudgeGray of I). Uware, and New York with a field of candidates has the task of agreeing on an aspiraint if that state is to receive consideration. State Senator Thomas F. Grady of New York, who can.e hi late vesterdav. thinks

the factions will be able to get together eventually. lie refused, however, to talk of persons, sayin.cr that an agrement on a candidate will not be taken up seriously until after the New York caucus here Monday afternoon. Congressman Francis Burton Harrison of New York is enjoying a flyer in the vice-presidential entries today, ?Iis managers are whooping it up and insisting lie is the man for the easterners to get behind. The skeptics insist the Harrison boom will explode before the climax is reached. Await Stute Delegation. The Kern men from Indiana are also touching it up for the Hoosier aspirant. The big chiefs on the ground say when asked relative to the vicepresidential situation, that it will drag along for a few days in rather unsettled fashion, until delegations from

states like New York. Pennsylvania. Massachusetts. Indiana and Illinois get here. They insist these delegations will hang together on the proposition of a running mate. Gov. John A. Johnson's managers have well-establishe, headquarters in the Albany hotel, and are putting up a stiff front. The Gray men, who are insisting that his name will go before the convention for first place, although he has stated his campaign is not a candidate for either the presidency or vice-presidency, have perfected an arganization to labor with incoming delegates. They have divided their forces in subcommittees, the members of which are to endeavor to persuade the men who will cast votes in the convention that Gray iS'the man to nominate if success at the polls is to be assured. Sny Soutli "Will Bolt Bryan. From the Johnson camp comes the Information that V. J. Simons of North Carlina will lead a revolt against Bryan among southern delegates. The old story of the Nebraskan has been revived to the effect that when in congress he, it is alleged, made the remark he would "not vote for a confederate for speaker of the national house." Loyal supporters of Bryan laugh at this and say that the speakership contest referred to was when the late William M. Springer of Illinois was a candidate for speaker. Bryan pledged himself to Springer because of the fact that the Illinois congressman used his influence to get Bryan on the ways and means committee during his first session in congress.

DENOUNGEGAR SERVICE Patrons cf Street Car Line Are Very Tired of Promises.

The eighth ward citizens are up in arms over the continued poor street car service that is being handed out by thi Cnlnmet ami South Chicago Electric Street Railway company. "The present service is absolutely the rottenest that has ever been given the traveling public," said one South Chicagoan, "and the worst of it is that it is getting worse every day." During the evening hours, between 4:30 and 6 o'clock, it is next to impossible frr a man to get a seat in tho crowded cars, and for a woman with a baby to find a seat is almost out of the qus;ion. The majority of the men riding in tiie cars r.t these hours are hard working men ?nd to give up their seat is f.omethi '.hat thfy hate to do. Tne result is ihnt tiiat ladies are, compelled to stand or wait for three or four more cars until one passes with a vacant seat. The East Side Improvement association and also the Cheltenham Improvement club have taken up the matter of getting more cars and better serice, but so far their efforts have been in vain. Comparing the present service with that in effect before the consolidation of the two lines. Charles Ringer of the Cheltenham Improvement association said: "Before the consolidation was effected we were getting swell service and there was no kick, but since then oh, well, there is no comparison." Nearly every one in the ward is of the same opinion as Ringer and is ready at any time to put in their little knock against the new service.

FAILS OFF SCAFFOLD; IS BADLY INJURED. South Chicago Painter In Injured ByPall From Scaffold. While painting a house at 7S90 Comly avenue, Jack Peterson, 32 years old. fell off the ladder on which he was standing, to the ground, a distance of 23 feet, sustaining severe injuries to his face and body.

as fanciful names for the two earliest stages of the springtime ferns, the two are closely associated. The "cotton"' fern soon merges into the "fiddle head." Just as the buds of trees and shrubs are beginning to swell cottony tufts

i appear all over the ground of the lowj lands in many places, and so close is j the resemblance that at first glance it. seems as if little balls or wad3 of i cotton had there been scattered broadcast. These balls conceal the ends of ' the young fern fronds, the botanist

using the term "circinate" to describe the form of rolling or unrolling. As soon as the fern has grown an inch or two in height the cottony appearance disappears anJ the "fiddle head" form becomes very marked. St. Nicholas.

The street cars in (Jary are not

equipped with fenders and had Newman been thrown in front of the car instead of at one side, he would not now be able to tell the story. I " He was in a hurry to reach his distination and was riding at considerable speed. There was a wagon in front of him and he found it necessary to ride around the front of it. , He had just passed the horses' heads and was crossing the track when he saw the street car upon him and was knocked down When he picked himself up. practically uninjured, his wheel was a pile of scrap.

Glass Water Pipes. Glass water pipes which have a covering of asphalt to prevent fracture are in use in some parts of Germany. They give thorough protection against moisture in the ground, against the actions of acids and alkalis and they cannot be penetrated by gases.

Boiled Down. "Tired of hearing my 'sugary words,' Are you, Pulsatilla Corking! " howled the indignant Orlando. "Perhaps rou will be kind enough to tell me, Miss Corkins, what a sugary word is! What Is it made of?" "It is made, Mr. Spoonamore," aniwered the talr Pulsatilla, "of verbum sap." Without another word of any description Orlando Spoonamoe grabbed his hat and groped his way out into the darksome night. The blow had 2rushed.him.

Lowell, Ind., July 3. (Special.) Probably one of the most grewsome finds that has happened in thic country for a long time, was discovered in the cellar at the home of Oscar Dinwiddle, a few days ago. His daughter. Miss Edith, had occasion to make a trip to the cellar early in the morning to get something for the cooking of a meal, when she was heard to scream. Her parents soon arrived

to her assistance, when to their great horror they discovered that the young lady was standing in the midst of over a hundred lizzards, wriglmg and twisting about in all conceivable wavs. They ranged in size from your finger up to as big as the wrist. It is not known how they got into the cellar, unless they came up through an old tile drain. Mr. Dinwiddle scooped them into a large pall and they met

their death by the scalding hot water route.

In the Same Boat. An old couple in Glasgow were in a very depressed state owing to dull trade. Thinking their son in America would help them, they wrote stating their trouble, and that if he did not help them they would have to go to the poorhouse. Three week's passed, and then came a letter from their son, saying: "Dear Mither and Faither -Just wait anither fortnicht an' I'll come hame an' ga:ig wi' ye. Your affectionate son."

Very ancient are the star and crescent of tlie Turkish flag. Their origin is explained as follows: The characters of the language of Mesopotamia, like the Egyptian, were originally hieroglyphic. One of the early picture words was a crescent and a star and ihis picture, which was pronounced "shiptu." was employed to express an incantation or exorcism, or anything capable of driving the evil spirit from the body of which it had taken possession. Clay tablets recording the

ancient exorcisms have been found in the ruins of Mesopotamia and at the beginning of such tablets appears the sign which developed from the crescent and the star. The symbol, therefore, may have been not only the word for incantation, but a charm from which the evil spirits were supposed to flee. In every age in iVe orient the people have possessed similar charms. The Assyrian kings stationed winged monsters with forms half human at their gateways, to keep all evil from entering within the palace. The poorer people suspended clay tablets above the entrances of their houses. The modern oriental may purchase in the bazars blue glass beads, verses from the Koran wrapped in leather cases and other devices to

serve a similar purpose. The crescent and star formed a symbol which the Mesopotamian of 6,000 years ago employed as a charm.

The Houee of Lords. The higher nobility or peerage of England contains five ranks: Duke, marquis, earl, viscount and baron.

jdertaking and the whole membership ! of the church in this vicinity is inter- ' ested in the dedication of this structure. ! The fact that there are so many of the high officials of the church to be in ; attendance will make the dedication a : notable one and were it not for tin ' fact that the dedication was set for tha j Fourth, when there will be so many , more attractions, it would be a big I event in Gary.

Rise Against Railroad Whistles. Railroad whistles inflict torture on so many people that the efforts abroad to check the plague have won approval from the people. Austria has introduced a system of dumb signaling to start and stop the trains. Belgium is trying compressed air whistles instead of steam, and Germany experi-
