AUDITORIUM IS COMPLETED

VIII Have Seats-A Splendid Build.
ing for the Convention

ST. LOUIS, June 5.-Thirteen thous-
and six hundred and one persons will
have seats in the great auditorium erect
ed for the national Republican conVen-
ton. A few more chairs may possibly De
squeezed in. The contractor and ar
chitects planned building big enough
to hold 14,000 chairs, and when the real
push and crush begins, the full NUMBER
may be utilized, but if there were l4,Oo
chairs, 1t Is doubtful If the number would
be large enough to seat all the people in
st. Louis on June 18th. who will be ready
to commit almost any crime on the cal
endar to see the doings on the first day
of the convention.
This great white auditorium will shell
ter the ghosts of many dissipated booms
before the nation is much older. The
building is of wood, covered with blocks
of white staff, which give it the appear
ance of glistening marble. 1t is hand
some structure today, but 1t will not be
so pretty when numerous wooden stair
ways are erected on all sides to afford
rapid entrance and exit to and from the
galleries on the upper floor.
The building stands on the site of the
new city hall, and must be completely
removed by oct. l. 1t cost $4,000, and
many people would like to see 1t remain
for future use of conventions and the
like, but others who remember the fate

regard it as a menace in case of fire and
will be happy when the last of it is torn

and not in tiers. Immediately In 'front.'
of the speakers stand are 924 seats lor
the accommodation of delegates. There
are two Enclosures for alternates, one TO
the right and the other to the left OF the
delegates seats. Each of these tnclos-
ures have accommodations for 462 alter
mates. The entire space allotted to the
delegates and alternates is open, with
no pillars to obstruct the view. The
speakers platform occupies central
position on the northern side of
the hail. just in front of the delegates
and Just opposite the main entrance.

frames can be raised or closed at will.
giving the hall an abundance of both
light and air. Should one of the famous
hot blasts Of st. Louis hit the town at the
time of the convention the building will
not be the bake oven which some of the
delegates fear. Dozens of ventilating
fans will keeps the air, in the auditorium

FOR THE PUBLIC.
Around the square pit assigned to the
delegates and alternates on three of the
sides are vast tiers of seats for the pub
lie. The fourth side will be apportioned
among specially invited guests and the
public. On either side of the speakers
pla torn will be the tables for the news
paper reporters. Each press table has
been fitted with pneumatic tube con-
Meeting with the telegraph offices located
under the tiers of seats at the back of the
speakers platform. While more than
thousand newspaper men will attend the
convention, 1t is not expected that more
than 400 will do active work in the audi
torium. Two hundred wires or more
will run out of the building and there will
be operators enough to keep them red hot
with news all the time.
A gallery forty feet wide, which runs
around the four sides of the building,
extending back to the roof. has chairs
for 5000 of the public OF the $4,000 chairs
downstairs the public will have the use
of about 4500. At least 10000 of the good
citizens of st. Louis and the nearby
towns expect to sit out the convention
from the beginning to the end, so it is
quite evident that some of them are go

Married Ten Years

It Is not unlikely that Mr.. Cleveland
was more or less disturbed by the action
of the house and senate, which passed
the river and harbor bill over his veto,
and by the vote in the senate on the But
Ter anti-bond bill. But it is safe to say
that no trace of his annoyance over these
matters of state was permitted to be-
tray iself when he Joined with his family
yesterday in the celebration of the tenth
anniversary of his wedding. 1t may be
assumed that Mrs. Cleveland was at her
best on this auspicious occasion; that
the little girls looked fresh and sweet
as roses, and that no thought of congress
or bills or vetoes obtruded itself into the
agreeable festivities.
This is one of the compensations which
come to brighten the lot of the family
man." Had Mr.. Cleveland been bache-
lor he would have spent yesterday in
nursing his resentment against congress
and in making himself thoroughly un-
happy over his disappointment and Of
Tended pride. He would have fretted
and fumed and given himself up to re-
Elections which would have made him
anything but serene and happy. AS it
was, the day brought with 1t gracious
season of ISief from official care and
drudgery and d train of tender and pleas
ant memories which left no room for any
unwelcome mental guests.
1t seems scarcely ten years since the
president and his lovely wife Joined

swiftly has brought good fortune to the
distinguished couple, and not the least
of their blessings are the little children
who relieve and tighten the grave re-
sponsiblities which attach to the exer

Mr.. Cleveland has been judicious and
discriminating as a statesman, but the
wisest act of his life was to marry the
woman who has done more to really

ors which have multiplied upon his head

led the animal to the blacksmith shop to

much he Judged the horse would weigh.
The smith took a good look at the beast
and replied Not over 1l50." Then the
owner offered to bet him 81 to 81 that the
horse would weigh more than the figure
he had guessed and the money was
straightway put up" Then the horse
was led back to the same scales he hal

owner congratulating himself on the

ANOTHER REMONSTRANCE.
Filed Against Granting License
DcckcIutcks Of tho Fifth Ward.

Attorney Walter Briggs filed another
remonstrance yesterday against the
granting Of hotel license to the Deck
chicks Of the Fifth ward The first
was entered few days ago and came
more as a protest from the pastor ana
congregation of st. Johns German
Catholic church, which is directly
across the street from the Decklenick
premises.
The remonstrance yesterday Is signed
by fifty-three prominent citizens ire
spective of religious denomination and
il shows that a determined stand VIII
be made against the granting of the
privilege to sell liquor at the place
aforesaid.
The first objection is that a saloon or
hotel there is not u necessity; the second
recites that Mrs. Decklenick year ago
admitted before the court that she had
been guilty of selling liquor to minors
and on election day and for that rea-
son is not a fit person to have license.
The third objection is that the place Is
not over 20 feet away from the paro-
chial school of St. Johns church, which
is daily attended by 125 pupils of tender
years, and that in the same vicinity Is
the Daisy Free kindergarten. school
with an attendance of 60 pupils, be-
tween the ages of 3 and 6 years. whose
morals would be endangered by the
proximity of drinking place.
