CHICAGO, June 1a-A strong breeze that
made the big strips OF bunting in which the OK
terror OF the auditorium was enveloped far
like tho sails OF West Indian merchantmen In
October gales swept over Lake Michigan land.

proved 10 the thousands that from an carly
hour gathered I'm front OF the great building
and gazed longingly upon the doors through
whose portals they had no open sesame.
Directly beneath the chair were pictures OF
Generals Logan and Grant while from the first
balcony portraits OF all the Republican Presl-
dents looked down upon the delegates The
Now York Michigan and Massachusetts dele
cations which had been honored with the front
seats, were among the first TO arrive. In the
neat live minutes the western and northwest
ern delegates came in rapidly, but the southern
men were still slow. The Virginians were con-
siderably behind, and many opera glasses were
vainly lcveled in quest OF the diminutive Malone
and the doughty Wise, who head the rival dele
cations
Rev. Frank Gunsalus was introduced TO lead
the convention in prayer. He thanked the
Lord for the intelligence and courage under
which the banners of the Republican party had
gone forth to conquests and prayed that the
convention might be dominated by good pur-
poses, for the glory OF God and the good OF the
people. blessings were asked for the leaders
OF the party and for those occupying high
places in the administration
Then the call for the convention was read in a
ringing tone by Secretary Fessenden and the
references to the tariff to the protection OF
American labor, to the accumulation of the
surplus the demand for free, honest ballot, a
iair count and the question OF the admission OF
the Territories were loudly cheered, especially
that relating TO tariff The reading concluded

Bad for the Blondes.

DIR. Beddoe Is responsible for state
ment which Is at once novel and sur
prlsing. He declares that the chances
OF dark women obtaining husbands arc
TO those OF fair women in tho proportion
OF three TO two; and that this conclusion
is proved by statistics. Certainly this
is in opposition TO the general idea up
on tho subject For every dark hero
Inc OF a novel there are twenty fair
onesi while, although few poets may
have sung the praises OF dark beauties,
those who have celebrated tho charms
OF fair ones are vastly more numerous.
Among the lower classes OF English, In
decd, thoro is general prejudice
against dark-haired women, II being a
fixed idea that they possess infinitely
worse tempers than fair women. Were
DIR. Beddoe's theory correct that three
brunettes marry TO every two blondes,
II would certainly be found that almost
every unmarried lady past the age OF
thirty belong TO tho latter category,
which is certainly not the case. AT tho
same time tho fact that the hair OF the
people OF this island is becoming dis
tinctly darker than II was Is one thnt
can not BIO denied. Persons who can
look back half u century will be ready
to admit tho change In this respect, For
every red-haircd person TO be seen now
ton would have been met with fifty
years back; and II the change continues
at tho same rate in another half century
red-haircd people will have become so
that u rcd-hairod lady viii
be one OF the most attractive figures in
u country show. From what cause this
arises we arc unable TO say; but We can
not think that DIR. Beddoc's theory that
three mon out of every five prefer dark
women TO fair is a correct one.--Lon-
don Standard

CHICAGO, June 21.-The Convention was
called to order promptly at 10 o'clock this
morning by Chairman Estee.
The invocation was delivered by Rev.
Thomas 4. Green OF Chicago, who thanked
the Almighty for the past. with its weight OF
history; for the present, with its magnificent
sweep Of possibilities, and for the rich hope OF
the future. He invoked the Divine blessing
upon the convention. and prayed that its pro
ceedings might be characterized by wisdom.
At the conclusion OF the prayer the chairman
touched the electric bell as n signal for the
band to render some selections, but there was
no response, the members OF the band not yet
having put in an appearance.
Mr.. Mckinley, OF Ohio, Chairman of the
Resolution Committee, who had Just entered
the hall, was recognized by the Chair, and he
arose TO make the report of the committee
In clear distinct voice Mr.. Mckinley read
the committees report as follows:
The Platform.
The Republicans Of the United States, assem-
bled by their delegates In National Convention,
pause on the threshold OF their proceedings TO
honor the memory OF their first great leader
the immortal champion Of liberty and the rights
OF the people, Abraham Lincoln, and TO cover
also with wreaths OF imperishable remem-
brance and gratitude the heroic names OF our
late leaders who have more recently been called
away from our councils-Grant. Garfield, Arthur,
Logan, Conkling. May their memories be faith
fully cherished We also recall with our greet
ings and with prayer for his recovery the name
OF one OF our living heroes whose memory will
be treasured in the history both OF the Rcpub-
iicans and OF the Republic-tbe name OF that
noble soldier and favorite child OF victory Phil
Up ii. Sheridan.
In the spirit OF those great leaders, and OF our
own devotion 70 human liberty, and with that
hostility TO all forms OF despotism and oppres-
sion which Is the fundamental ideal OF the Re-
publican party, we send fraterna congratula-
tion 10 our fellow-Americans Of Brazil upon
their great net Of emancipation, which com
pleted the abolition Of slavery throughout the
two American continents. We earnestly hope
that we may soon congratulate our fellow-ciil-
zrns OF Irish birth upon the peaceful recovery
Of homo rule for Ireland.

CHICAGO, Feb. IA large number of
recent petty robberies in the vicinity of
Wentworth avenue and Twenty-ninth
street was explained Monday night by
the unexpected discovery OF the head
quarters of a gang of boy thieves located
under sidewalk by two officers from
the Thirty-fitth street station. On going
to investigate mysterious light under
the sidewalk, they found small en-
trance to cave in the ground. and, on
pursuing the search, came to a suspi-
clOus room guarded by thirteen-year-
old Jack Shepard named Jimmie Dynes.
''Who goes there?" followed by the
sharp click Of a revolver, greeted the
officers as they were about to enter the
cavern, and their quickness probably
saved their lives, for ON getting inside
they found young Dynes with a revol-
yer in hand ready to uphold the dignity
Of the ga ng of which he was an ofhcer.
Inside a curious spectacle was presen-
ted to the officers. Revolvers in great
profusiOn hung about hepapered walls,
backed by large musket which glis-
tened brightly in the light thrown out
from an old ''Salamander'' stove in one
corner. The walls were picturesquely
decorated with sensational prints and a
notice signed in red ink related the fact
that though Jimmie was captain of
the crowd and that BILLY the KID Of
fciated as lieutenant. TO the threats
of summary vengeance to traitors was
signed the hair-raising names of ''Light-
ming Eddie,'' "PeaDuts," ''Jumbo,"
"Oyster," ''Chump' and ''Dyng Do"
The youthful cave-dweller in charge
told the officer he was awaiting the ar
rival of some of his comrades, but they
failed to put in an appearance.
At the station the boy finally con-
fessed to completely in several rObber-
les perpetrated by the gang of which he

A Chicago Preacher Charged With
the Seduction Of u Young Girl.
CHICAGO, Feb. For some time past
rumor of a very disagreeable charac-
ter has been disturbing the minds of
the congregation assembling at the Ada
Street Methodist Episcopal church. At
length the smouldering elements have
burst into scandal that has caused UNI
precedented excitement among that por-
ton of the religious community. The
alleged culprit is Rev. J. p. Brushing
ham, pastor of the Ada Street church,
for whose arrest a warrant was sworn
out this afternoon by Miss Eva Parker,
young lady of eighteen, who has re-
Gently become a mother. Mr.. Brush
ingham's legal adviser made the follow
ing statement to reporter: 'Mr.
Brushingham never heard of this charge
until the day before the child was born.
He Immediately called meeting of his
official board, at which nearly every
member was present. He laid the case
fully before them, denied the charge,
and stated to them what he knew about
it. They passed a resolution, which ev-
cry member present signed, expressing
their belief in his innocence, and their
determination to stand by him, and they
mailed copy of the resolution to his
wife. We think that before the end is
reached we will be able to show that it
is simply an attempt at blackmail."

Special to the Globe.
Dies MONIES, To-, Dec. livery drop
of liquor in three liquor houses in Des
MoineS was seized to-day by Constables
Bolts and Hamilton under the recent
ruling of Judge Given, which declares
that 1t is illegal for firm to do business
under permit which can only be issued
to an individual. All three of the whole
sale liquor stores of the city were run
ming without warrant of law, because
all of these were firms doing business
under permit issued to single in
diyidual. The decision two days ago
created CONSERVATION among these deal
ers,and they anticipated that their bust
ness would be stopped and their liquor
seized. This morning warrants were
placed in the hands of the officers for
the seizure OF the entire stock. The
sheriff and his deputies seized the large
stock of j. S. Mccormick & Co., and
Constable Potts, assisted by Constable
Hamilton, seized the John Connolly Il
Co. stock. Constable Hamilton, assisted
by Constable Potts, seized the Frank
Stubs & Co. stock, on East Locust
street. and placed Mr.. Blair i'll charge
as watch. The drug store supply has
not given out, 50 the town is not yet
very dry.
