CHICAGO DEMOCRATS.
The Slate Includes the Nomination Of
Carter Harrison.

CHICAGO, March 1.-THE democratic
city convention was called to order about
noon today by Chairman Thomas Gahan
of the democratic central committee. who
introduced Chas. 8. Thornton as tempo
rary chairman This removed one element
of uncertainty as to the outcome Of the
convention, for 1t was generally conceded
that had ex-Gov. Altgeid been named, as
was expected some days ago lively fight
would have been precipitated at once by
the followers of A. $. Trude, who day or
two ago withdrew from the mayoralty con-
test on account of alleged treachery on the
part of Altgeld. The ex-governor was not
even present at the convention today.
1t was wellknOWn, however that the
Altgeld influence was to dominate the
gathering. The slate included Carter Har-
rison. jr., for mayor.
A long wrangle took place in the COM
mittee on resolutions. The Aitged ad-
herents were evidently in control both in
the committee and the convention but
nevertheless a vigorous fight was made on
the financial plank. The platform as pre-
sented to the committee made no direct
reference to the free coinage of silver but
ascribed the prevailing business depression
TO the present monetary system, which 1t
condemned. and ended by lauding VIM j.
Bryan and Ex-Governor Altgeld. Munich
Pal reform was advocated. The document
committed the party to franchise compen-
sat1on, the anti-department store move
ment and also advocated civil service re-
form.

SKATING on STHTS.
A New and Exciting Combination of
Sports.
From the Golden Rule.


| From the Golden Rule.
Modern ingenuity will not leave unim-
proved an article SO tempting as the skate.
A very obvious betterment obvious after
some one else has thought of iD is to COM
| bine skates and stills.
One of the most remarkable innovations
to be tried this year is an exaggerated Le-
velopment of the high Dutch skate. which,
1t will be remembered. had for its claim to
excellence the fact that the increased
height of the foot rest, or clog, heightened
| the leg by SO much. and 80. of course. in
creased the length of the stroke and in
creased 1t just at the point where 1t was
| most effective. namely, at the end This
stands to reason; for a stone Is easier
to roll down hill, it is easier to push
moving body to greater momentum
than to move e stationary one.
This IS the idea of the new skate, which
consists of a skate blade with support of
steel rising from the toe and the heel, until
they are Joined together. and from that
point extending upward In single rod.
having a foot rest like a pair of stills. The
rigid rod is continued up to the knee OF the
skater, and is secured to the leg by light
straps, the foot being strapped onto the rest
just the same as foot would be to
skate clog.
The skate blades are nearly double the
length of an ordinary blade. and II is esti-
mated that the length of each stroke will
be increased nearly three times. and ;hat
the speed of the skater will be increased
until the present records are cut down
nearly one-half.
1t is claimed that after the first effect of
the unusual strain on the ankle Is worn
off. the new device Is not more tiring than
the old one and that a beginner with a new
idea skate can, il he be a fair skater, pick
1t up almost Immediately. 1t is well known
that a man on stilts will outpace a man
walking. and 80 there Is every reason to

From Chicago Interior

FROM thlcago Interior.
A nervous young minister visiting a re

experience. The old lady a. whose house
he stayed, in showing him to his room
said: 1T amt anybody ia put in this
room. This room is full of sacred associa-

band died I'm that bed with his head on
those pillows. and poor Mr.. jerks died Sit

see him sitting there still. My own father
Gied layin' right on that lounge under the
window there. Poor pa, he was a Spiritual
ist. and he allus said he'd appear In this
room after he died, and sometimes ! am
foolish enough to look for him. If you
should see anything OF him tonight, you'd
better not tell me. It'd be a sign to me
that there was something in Spiritualism.
and I'd hate to think that. My son by my
first man fell dead of heart disease right
where you stand. He was a doctor, and
there's two whole skeletons In that closet
there belonged to him. and half-a-dozen
skulls in that long drawer. Ii you are up
