neral In.
Ten Thousand People Can
Sit and See the
Corpse.

Naughty Women and Bad
Men to Be Kept

CHICAGO, June 9.-"The hall where
the national Republican convention will
meet will be ready to turn over to the
subcommittee of the national Republi-
can committee ten days before the con-
vention meets" said Milward Adams,
manager of the Auditorium building, to
your correspondent to-day.
Nearly every arrangement is now
completed, and the last thing to do is
the allotment of seats to the delegates,
which will not be attended to before the
day preceding the convention. Some
egations--like that from New York
may have preferences, and the sub
committee will wait to learn what these
preferences may be.
THE PIT.
The delegates will be seated in the
''pit'' of the auditorium, which is in the
center of the house and occupies space
about eighty feet one way and ninety
five feet the other. This is
on the level, and S32 opera chairs
will be placed there. The galleries
rise all around the delegates, and so
admirably have the seats throughout
the house been arranged that no spec
tator, though he be at the most remote
corner of the hall, will be more than
100 feet from the delegates. Therefore
no one, unless he be deaf, will fail to
hear everything that is said by the
presiding officer and other speakers.
Opera chairs will be put in through
out the hall, 1903 of them. There will
be standing accommodation for probably
I On no DIM inn N acc
of the sessions fully 5000 persons
will be within the auditorium walls.
In front of the delegates, to the east
of them, upon platform elevated two
feet above the floor, will be the tables
provided for the working reporters,
and $50 seats will be provided for these.
Several hundred seats will be provided
for those newspaper men who will in
dulge in descriptive writing, but whose
duty is not to take note of the routine
proceedings.
THE PRESIDENTS DESK.
In the center of the reporters plat
form is the presiding officers desk upon
daiS, and back, or east of this, is the
platform upon which will be the opera
chairs for the accommodation of the ma
tlOnal Republican committee and dis
tinguished guests. Above this, and ris-
ing high up on the east wall of the au-
ditOrium, is the stage and the stage gal
lery, the seating capacity of which is
not less than 1900.
The dimensions of the hall are 120X260
feet. 1t would not appear from these
figures that space could be afforded
nearly 10000 people, but such is the
case. The great exposition building,
where the two conventions in 1884 were
held, only seated 1891 persons. In the
auditorium the galleries run from the
great proscenlum arch entirely around
the hall, and every foot of space is util-

THE ROSE-LIPPED JUNE.

Meath the blue languish of ethereal eve,
June opes her rosy lips, and all the air
Is heavy with her sweetened whispers; Love,
Poesy and Beauty hang upon her tongue,
While Fancy feeds where field and wood
and grove
Lie dreaming.
Yon saucy brook, irreverent in the hush.
Romps through the clovery mead awhile
anon
Through nod of daisies dancing nimbly on
To neighboring wood; where, like truant
Tired with everyday, t will mince and loiter
In the cool of hooks
And when the day is done, o June and thou
In twilight dew wilt battle thy rose-wreathed
When Night filings DER thine eyes her span
gled veil,
And Dian wraps thee in her robe of pale
When the reclining hills are softly sleeping
And silvered silence DER their green is creep
ing
When Aphrodite steals the suspicious hour
To kneel devout before her sacred flower,
While the sweet incense mingles with her
signs
DUPLICATING toward her home among the
skies
Oh then, fair June! in Loves imperial reign
Full many VOW thou'lt hear from doting
swain
From the coy maid that owns thy passioning
spell,
And fains to trust thee more than she would
have thee tell.

CAUGHT.
Sage Mr.. Billings Succumbs to the
Wiles OF a Siren.

lies Of a Siren.
By reason of his skillful maneuver-
ing and great adrOitness, says the De-
troit Free Press, Mr.. Billings had lived
to the age of forty-nine without becom-
ing Benedict, but in an unguarded
moment the discipline of lifetime
availed him nothing.
1t was on a May morning that he
strOlled into garden with Miss Tenie
McGinnis, a spinster of forty-eight
They sat down on garden bench, and
MIR. Billings unwittingly said:
See those robins building their nest
in that old apple tree.''
'Oh, Mr.. Billings!" but Billings,
seeming to have lapsed into idiocy,
rambled on
Don't you like to see the little birds
mate?"
ooh. Mr.. Billings; how you do TALK"
REALLY, Miss McGinnis, L"
ooh. Mr.. Billingsr
"Why, Miss"
sOh, Mr.. Billingsr'
mo, but, really, Miss McGinnis, Pm
in earnest; love to-
sob, you naughty man! And did you
bring me out here tOsay this to me? Oh,
Mr.. Billings!"
''Why, l only said that loved"
"Oh-Oh-it's all so sudden. What
shall | say? I-I-suppose you'll just
make me say yes. I-I-oh, George!"
My, George!"
'Why, woman, ~
Il suppose / could be ready in a
month if you really insist ON it, dear
George"
'sSee here, Miss"
'sHush. darling, some one is coming %
And when their host and hostess APP
peared Miss McGinniS blushed and said,
with downcast eyes:
Were engaged
And Billings hadn't the nerve to deny
1t, so they were married.

Gen. Scott and the PugiIist.

Gen. Scott and the Pugilist.
New York Telegram.
81 well remember the grand reception
given to Gen. Winfield Scott in the
spring of 1S4S, after his return from
Mexico, bringing Texas as prize" said
one of GOtham'S oldest inhabitants to
reporter. 1.-The old hero was brought to
Castle Garden in steamboat from
Elizabethport Thousands of people
were waiting to give him a rousing,
patriotic welcome, and as he landed the
Governors Island band played Hail to
the Chief"
1.-THE general must have been a splen-
did-looking man at that time" said the
reporter.
'Well, should say he was" said the
O. |. He was majestic in appearance,
but he could laugh as heartily as any
one / ever knew, and he did so on that
occasion. Jim Woodruff, who was a
popular local vocalist, sang song, one
verse of which | remember was:
Your battles fought. your victories won,
You need not ask for more;
You are a second Washington,
You're welcome to our shore.
'JuSt as he finished the song, and
while the place was ringing with ap-
plause, a powerfully-built man came
plunging through the crowd on the plat
form as if he were possessed of the
strength of John l.. Sullivan. He
nearly upset Col. James Watson Webb,
carromed on eX-Mayor Harper, and came
near pocketing Phillip Hone, Rev. DR..
Wainwright and ex-Mayor Brady by
landing them in the orchestra. Aid.
Morris Franklin, who had been assigned
to present Gen. Scott with an address
of welcome, seized the interloper by the
coat collar and tried to hold him back.
6 See here said the man, let go of
my collar. I've come here to Shake
hands with that old sojer over there,
and Pm going to do it, saying which he
gave jerk and pulled his collar out of
the alderman'S grip.
''He then stepped up to Gen. Scott
and said: General, as an American
citizen, L come here on my own hook to
thank you for knocking them MeXicans
out. You're entitled to the belt
"'Thank you,' said the old hero, who
not only Smiled but laughed heartily as
he warmly shook the old mans hand.
after Aid. Franklin had delivered
his speech of welcome, to which the
general briefly responded, he asked the
general if he knew who it was that had
forced his way upon the stage and
through the crowd to shake hands with
him.
Ono, do not answered the gen.
eral.
cit was Bill Harrington, the pugil-
iSt,' said the alderman.
'''A fighter, eh?' said the general. I
suppose he came to see me in keeping
with the maxim that birds feather will
flock together. | liked his cordiality
very much, although he did squeeze my
hand tremendously
''Then the general laughed again, and
soon after rode up Broadway mounted
on splendid charger, under escort of
all the regiments of the National guard.
''Bill Harrington, who was one of the
best known characters of his time, disap-
never been heard of since"

Freemasonry Among Car Porters.

Scsi So
Cincinnati Enquirer.
AS is well known to the travelling
public, it is the custom to give the por-
ter of a sleeping car quarter each
morning for his attention in shining
shoes and brushing off the clothes of
the traveller. Occasionally there is a
man too mean to. do this, and the porter
cuts notch in the heel of his shoe.
This is signal which all the other por-
tiers will recognize, and shoes with a
notch on the outside of the heel will not
be blackened, as the owner is on
the Up. b." list. Recently Edward
Hewitt was passenger on Cincinnati
Southern train, and Conductor Kelly
was telling him of this Freemasonry
among the knights of the brush. Ed
ward, who is always generous with tips,
showed so much interest in the matter
that Kelly got hold OF his shoes that
night and noticed them. Then he told
a friend at the Burnet house about it,
who engaged Barister Hewitt in CONVEX
Sation on the subject, and, much to his
discontinue; showed him his own shoes
were noticed. He tumbled to Kelly's

The Fastest L rain in the World.

Inc FaSUeSC ram IN the w OrlG.
Most persons who travel on the CONT
nent of Europe are well aware that the
speed of express trains there is con-
siderably slower that that of English
express trains. Two or three trains on
the Lyons IL Marseilles railway come
perhaps, nearest to the English stand
ard of performance. On the Italian.
lines it is customary to resort to the
refinement of having three classes of
trains, ''ordinariO," ''diretto" and tex
preSSO," but there does not seem much
to choose between them. The Railway
Express cOrrectS our vague impressions
by the test of figures. and gives us the
exact ratio of our expresses to those of
foreign countries. Our English ex-
presses all run at high rate, but since
the acceleration of the Manchester and
London expresses, one or two of the
Great Northern trains carry off the palm.
They run at an average of 4S miles
an hour for the whole journey.
including stoppageS and the exceed
ipgly heavy bank at Penistone. The
bit between Grantham and London is
done at the rate of about fifty-four miles
an hour. These achievements, however,
are very closely approached by the
other great lines. France and Germany
follow with an average of about thirty
six miles an hour. Holland, Belgium
and AustriaHungary follow with
thirty-three miles an hour, Italy with
Twenty-Five and One-half miles an hour,
Spain and Switzerland with twenty-five
miles and Portugal with eighteen and
one-half miles. America runs us more
closely, with an average speed of thirty
five to forty miles an hour.

TIE ST. LOUIS ROAD OBJECTS
The Southern Pacific Will, How
ever, Change the Time
of No. 20.

The change OF time card on the Atlantic
and Pacific road that was announced for
tomorrow is not to be. By it daylight
service in and out of California was to
be established, and General Manager
Dan McCool, in his anxiety to accommo-
date the residents of Southern California
and add to the popularity of his line,
worked hard during his recent Eastern
visit to achieve the desired result.
As stated before in these columns,
however, the st. Louis and San
Francisco Company, who have equal
rights with the Santa Fe over the A. & P.
object to the change, saying that it is det-
rimental to their interests, though in
what manner cannot be ascertained
Though the matter is therefore thrown
aside for the present it is not abandoned,
and conference was yesterday held in
the Eas. between Mr.. Robinson of the
Santa Fe and Mr.. Morrill, of the St.
Louis line, in the hope of making
some arrangement regarding the matter.
To accommodate the proposed change
which would be necessarily made in the
arrival of the Az P. trains at Mojave, the
s. P. have announced that their western
bound overland will, on and after to-mor-
row, leave this city at 10 80 PM, instead
of at 9 80 P. Nj. as at present. Although
tine A. & P. change is not to happen at
present it is not deemed probable that
the S. P. will change their schedule back
again.
