From the Richmond Dispatch.

of his mail and threw it into the waste bas-

What is that?" inquired his friend.
Post no bills was the reply.

AT THE CAPITOL.
Senate Galleries Crowded With the
visiting school Teachers.

The galleries of the Senate preser ted an
appearance this mornir & almost rivaiing
the occasion of an inauguration. They
were practically NOR cpolized by delegates
to the n. E. A. convention. Long before
the hour of meeting the galleries were
flied, nine-tenths of their occupants being
young ladies attired in summer costumes;
young school teachers, whose bright and
pretty faces were all expectation in their
eaeerneSs to see meeting of the Senate.
Before Il o'clock every gallery was filled.
and at each doorway there was a crowd.
The rules of the Senate were broken by the
opening of the nen's gallery to the ladies.

BIG DELEGATIONS ALL IN.
Attendance Upon the Educational
Convention ApprOximates 23.5OO.

The total number of delegates to the con-
vention is approximately 23,J00. The fig
ures given out at headquarters this morn
ing as being an estimate of the crowd early
today were 22.50o, and there were not more
than 1,5OO additional arrivals during the
day.
The reception committees at the depots
had an abundance of leisure time in which
to compare experiences. Especially was
this the case at the Baltimore and Ohio
where the young lady in charge told Star
reporter at noon that there had been less
than 100 delegates to arrive this morning
and the prospects were not bright for a
larger number during the afternoon. In
fact business was so duh at this depot that
1t was thought advisable to close the bu-
reau of Information at l O'clock today
There W ,re no large parties arriving and
the com, nittee reports that all the big dele
cations nave come in.
A ma Gritty of the arrivals today We're
over the Pennsylvania railroad. DR. Kim
ball had charge of the reception at this sta
ton. He and his assistants were hustling
them To their stopping places. The largest
crowds were on the o and 10 clock trains
respectively, from the north and west An
other big party is looked for 10 come in
late this afternoon from the south DR.
kimball raid the bureau of information at
the Pennsylvania station will close and the
reception committee conclude its work at Z
o'clock this evening. He thinks that all
delegates will then have arrived.
Busy at Headquarters.
There were very busy scenes at all state
headquarters this morning. Most of the
headquarters were opened last night and
complete preparations made to entertain
delegates. Registration, renewal of old
friendships and forming Of new ones were
the order of the day. School teachers are a
fraternal crowd and fraternity was mani
fest at all headquarters.
Among the more prominent arrivals this
morning were: Superintendent Van Cleve of
Troy. Ohio; Superintendent eastman of De-
catur, Ill: President Cook of the Illinois
State Normal Association, President Harper
of the University of Chicago, Dr. Palmer of
the New York State Normal School Asso-
citation and Mrs. Mary Wiley of the New
York City kindergarten Union.
Choice of Meeting Place.
There Is considerable interest among the
delegates. especially the westerners. in the
choice of a meeting place for next years
convention. Three cities are in the field as
candidates for the convention, and the dele
gates from each are hustling with charac-
teristic western push for the honor Salt
Lake City and Los Angeles are the most
prominent candidates. but Duluth is being
doomed in a quiet systematic manner that
directors than either of it's rivals. The
Utah capital is doing the most advertising
having big. snowy placards in every state
headquarters, besides an exhaustess loi
of literature.
The contest is developing into lively
fight, and Notwithstanding Utah's energetic
efforts, the choice today seems to be be.
tween Los Angeles and Duluth.
