son, will spare no efforts to hold their end
up. The state delegations have all made
preparations for the old-fashioned kind of
convention, but the candidates are failing
to show up as they did in every conven-
ton since 1872.
''Chris" Magee. the owner of the Pitts.
burg Times, one of the Smoky City's street
railways and q good portion of the Repub-
hcan party of Western Pennsylvania, will
be at the Nicollet.
General w. J. Sewell, ex-United States
senator from New Jersey, will be close to
John G. New at the West.
Senator Jones, of Nevada, will talk free
coinage In a suite of rooms at the Nicollet.
Chauncey Depew and Secretary J. Sloat
Fassett will be entertained by General
Washburn.
William L. Elkins. the Philadelphia
traction magnate, will be at the West.
Ex-Governor Foraker, of Ohio, and Gen.
eral Stewart l.. Woodford, of New York,
will occupy adjoining rooms at the West.
Senator Ed Wolcott, of Colorado, will
see that Governor Mckinley, of Ohio, who
is located near at hand, is enlightened on
the silver question.
Hon. ID. NJ. Ferry, of Michigan, Will be
at the Ryan, st. Paul.
Chairman Clarkson and ex-Postmaster-
General Frank Hatton will be the occu-
pants OF adjoining rooms at the West.
The venerable Galusha A. Grow, of
Pennsylvania, Will be at the NIcollet, and
will be one of the interesting figures of the
convention. He is nearly 20 years of age,
and thirty-one years ago was elected
speaker of the national House of Repre-
sentatives.
The Minneapolis Tribune says: "Fully
5000 of our incest young, middie-aged and
old men want TO act as ushers and door
keeps and such like jobs at the convention
an Free" said George A. Bracket yester-
day. ''It's one of the most difficult of all
the tasks assigned to find out who is to be
appointed. Among the many organiza-
tons who have rendered their services are
the travelling men and the Veterans Union
League. Either of these organizations can
furnish more than enough men alone.
Then there are hundreds of men who come
up and offer their services every day,
and it looks to man up tree as
though good many-say four out
of five, at least-will get left. Colonel
Meek said today that he had asked the
local committee to make out a list of all
the applicants for appointment. These
will be submitted to him and he proposes
to appoint many as there is room for.
The Veterans Union League members are
the most active husters in the party in
this city. to whom every Republican is
glad to be of service, stand a good show
for some of the appointments inside the
building. 1t is estimated that at least 500
appointments of this character will be
made. Mr.. Meek's own idea about the
ushers does not agree with the popular de-
mand. He says they ought to be young
men who can run up and down the stairs
easily, quickly and noiselessly. He says
a young man of Is or % who is bright and
active is the ideal usher.

ence and Commerce, while the figure at the
base of the upper rotunda will embody the
attributes of civilized man as distinguished
from the savage. These are to be arranged
in twelve different groups, eighteen feet in
height. They will portray Abundance,
Strength. Liberty, the Chase, Agriculture,
Unity, Religion, Amusement, Charity,
Patriotism, Tradition and Truth. The
system of ornamentation has been so cley-
erly carried out that while illustrating the
progress of man the statuary will appear
not as something added to, but as essen
tisl portions of the design.
Mr.. Carl Bitter, the sculptor, has en-
gagged an extra force of workmen in his
studio. who will be kept busy until the
day of opening. All of the clay models
are to be made in New York, where every
attention can be given to the work by both
architect and sculptor. The figures are all
moulded one-sixth of the required size,

larged for the building.

would express admiration or COM

And then you made mp your mind that
after all you must be pretty or attractive

so charming in this gown. and having ar
rived at this conclusion, you Immediately
set carefully and earnestly to work plan

you expected to conquer all the inhabi-

studied all the details, every possible ef-

materials ct al, and then awaited the re-
suit with entire and undisturbed conf
dence. But alas! the result was not what
you had so confidently expected. For
some reason the exquisite details didn't
blend into one harmonious whole, and
that dress was the greatest disappoint-
ment of your life.
And it happens that way so often. The

ton. save the eight great flags. There is
no delirium of red, white and blue any
where. The score or more of big pillars
forming square in the hall are hung
about with banners some eighteen feet
from the floor. These banners are of dark
lumber brown. There is a stripe of red
about an eighth of an inch wide near the
edges. but telescope is needed to see this
relieving touch. On the faces of the
banners facing the big square where dele
gates sit are placed little sheaves of wheat,
oats, fax and rye. This work has been
the most artistically done, and is the most
pleasing feature of all the decorations.
The decorations about the speakers
stand will be more elaborate than else
where. and here more color will be used.
The suspended band stand has been
draped with old gold until every bit of
wood and iron has been hidden, and from
the speakers stand and south side OF the
hall the musicians cannot be seen for the
two big flags intervening. The trouble ex-
perienced in decorating was that flags and
streamers could not be hung effectively
without interfering with the view from
some of the gallery seats. As for the i'm
mense Orders under the skylight a coat of
mazzarine blue was deemed sufficient.
The baked bean annex of the conven-
ton stands in the corner OF a vacant lot

trance used last year during the exposi-
ton, but for the convention will be used
by delegates only. 1t is in the log house
that the beans will be baked and the
doughnuts fried. 1t will be especially
handy for the delegates. They need only
step across the street, put up 50 cents and
eat of beans their fill. The spectators and
newspaper men will have farther to go.
The baking will be done in the log house

WHAT THE GRASS DOES.

The grass so little has to do
spear of simple green,
With only butterflies TO brood,
And bees TO entertain,
And stir al day to pretty tunes
The breezes fetch along,
And hold the sunshine in its lap
And bow TO everything;
And thread the dews all night, like pearls,
And make itself so fine
A duchess were TOO common
For such a noticing.
And even when il dies, TO pass
In odors so divine
As lovely spices gone TO sleep,
Or amulets OF pine.
And then TO dwell! IN sovereign barns,
Aud dream the days away
The grass so little has 10 do,
wish l were the hay!

The administration building designed
by Richard NJ. Hunt is likely to be the
most interesting and beautiful of ali the
huildings at the Worlds fair. The direct
ors have decided TO increase the vast ex-
terror attractions by means OF symbolic al
groups of figures. which will be placed
around the base of the dome, on the upper
yotunda and in front OF the entrance on
the ground surface. They are not in
tended to be purely decorative, but are de-
signed to break the monotony of straight
lines, and lend certain uniaueness
TO the curving lines of the dome. The
groups will be placed in pairs, and will
cleyerly symbolic the great forces of ivi-
lixstion in the progress ofman.
The figures at the base of the dome will
be eight in number, typifying Art, Indus

THE BIG CONVENTION.

THE BAKED BEAN ANNEX
Headquarters of the De1egates-Where
Who Want Jobs Inside the Hall.

The hall in Minneapolis where the Ma
tional Republican convention will be called
to order at noon next Tuesday is prac-
tically completed as to interior arrange
ments and decorations. The seats for the
delegates are opera chairs, bare of up
holstery. and show plain wooden backs
and seats pierced with holes like strainer.
The arms are abbreviated, and while the
chairs are comfortable they are not of the
variety TO invite lolling about in. A little
more space is allowed between them than
separate the rows of ordinary wooden
chairs from which the common herd viii
look on. That is the main advantage dele
gates will have. AS rostrum on which
TO stand and yell the common kitchen
chair for spectators is much to be pre-
ferred. The delegates will be squarelv
under the immense skylight This has
been painted the blue known as rnazzarine.
People who attend the convention are
going to see the largest and best arranged
hall for its purposes in which national
convention ever met. 1t is admirable for
convention purposes. Every spectator
will be able to see what is going on, and
every one, it is promised, will be able to
hear. Yet nobody must expect a beauti-
full hail. 1t isn't handsome and inviting.
Nor need any one expect wealth of de-
coration to bewilder. The space above the
delegates and under the far-reaching sky
light will not be q sea of flags and stream
ers 1t will be left wholly bare of either,
and the blue glass and frame and heavy
crossbeam is relieved only by row of
modest stars on the side of the inner row

tween two of the great posts. large Ameri-

very handsome and are quite sufficient
