CHICAGO, July All roads led to the
Coliseum today, where at u O'Clock
Chairman Harrity called to order the DEM
ocratic national convention. The day OPEN
ed clear and cool. The wind had veered to
the north and came with freshness which
covered the lake with white caps and sent
the spray oashng over the breakwater. 1t
was day when small craft hug the shore,
and this meant comfort for the thousands
who turned toward the Coliseum.
The scene of action took sudden shift
during the morning. Early in the day the
downtown centers had repetition of the
excitement and confusion marking the last
few days. The marching clubs with theif
bands and shouters, were making a last
convulsive demonstration before attention
was directed to the serious work within
the convention hall. BY o'clock tho
crowds were beginning to converge at the
depots and by 10 they were in full motion,

A Weather Bureau Souvenir for the Chris

They Can Also Sec the Workings O1
the System-Large Number OF
People There Today.

The weather bureau station at the Capt.
toll has been re-established for this week
for the especial benefit of Christian En-
deavor delegates and visitors. The officers
OF the House and Senate made the request
OF the weather bureau. and 1t was promptly
granted. The instruments, maps. ETC.,
which were removed when Congress ad-
journed. were put in position today. Wis.,
itors to the Capitol will have everything
they want to know about the weather ex-
planned by courteous officials.
AT the House weather bureau station F.
j. Randolph Is distributing a souvenir to
visitors. The souvenir was prepared by
the weather bureau. 1t contains a map
which gives graphic description Of the
weather conditions over the United States
on the evening OF May q, the day of the
st. Louis tornado. On the other side Of
this map are the flag signals of the
weather bureau. in use throughout the
country. An explanation of each flag is
made.
The souvenirs Gre not costly. but are
pleasing to visitors. Souvenirs of any kind
are eagerly sought by visitors at the Capt.
tol. Hundreds of strangers were at the
Capitol today. The number was much
larger than for any day since Congress
adjourned. All of the Capitol guides found
employment. The visitors may think the
hall of the House rather uninteresting
This is because all the desks and chairs
have been removed and the carpets taken
Up. The Speakers chair is also out Of
place. One of the delights of many visitors
Is to have the honor for few minutes Of
sitting in the chair of the Speaker Every
year the desks taken up sandpapered
and revarnished. The carpets are cleaned
and summed and are put down again in the
fall.
ith the exception of these and a few
other changes. the capital will prove as
interesting to visitors this week as ever.
Crowds Of people will fill the halls and
lobbies every day, and the animate and in
animate will combine to furnish pleasure.
One of the attractions at the Capitol
tomorrow will be the weekly concert of the
Marine Band in the afternoon. A special
program of music will be rendered. There
has been some talk Of placing the band
stand on the lawn on the north side of
the Capitol, but it is not known for certain
that this will be done.

THE experiment of running cotton
mill entirely with Negro labor, which is
likely to be made at Concord, n. C., will
excite great deal of attention and in
terest. The originator of the scheme
is himself a colored man, worth from
s25, 900 to $50, 900, and the attempt will
be made to have all the stock taken by
Negroes in order to make the mill es-
sentially Negro enterprise from be-
ginning to end. A company will be
formed very soon and it is believed that
the mill will be built and put in opera
tion during the present year. Its sue
cess will tend to solve the problem
whether Negro operatives can be sue
cessfully employed in cotton mills.
