 Cleveland, with a hurrah and a whoopYs Will that be the issue of the present democratic eomplications7
 It would not be surprising to the friends of the ex-President to see the St. Louis convention get into deadlock and solve the problem by naming MT. Cleveland as the standard bearer of the democracy in one of the greatest demonstrations ever seen in this country. Cleveland is in the air People discuss all other candidates, and the question comes down to, Well what do they represent? Whom do they representa- The conversation has often lately ended with the query. Whats the matter with running Cleveland again? Twice he has broken into the charmed circle and taken up his residence at the White House. ghy not again?"
 Would Cleveland take the nomina- tfon?'
 "Dld Fairbanks take the Vice Presiden- tial nomination in Chicago last weekg'
 How could Cleveland refuse the par tvs call ? Did he not in 1902 point out the way for harmony in the democratic par ty? Has he not recently discussed the question of building up the party and res- cuing it from the evils that have crept into it, and which imperil it's existence as party for years to come?'

Where the Ghosts Lurk.

"I don't think 1t would be possible to find a more phostly place than great theatre or auditorium when the crowd has departed," said a man about town, ..It matters not whether it be day or night, there Is nameless scurrying around In all parts of the building, ghost lv shadows lurk in the corners. every thing appears desolate and the loneli- ness is intesified by the cheerful murmur of many voices when the seats are full and a large audience is waiting for the performance to begin. Chairwomen and others who are accustomed to cleaning up assembly halls or theatres when they are empty soon get oyer this notign per haps but the novice is impressed by the silence and the loneliness.
 '.The seats appear to be whispering to each other, the chandeliers are shadowy in the half twilight, the boxes seem great staring eyes, in whose depths the stage william turks, and the curtain that a short time ago was aglow with light and life is pallid, garish piece of can- vas A timorous person can easily im- agine that a score of dangers lurk in the empty building. There are so many places for persons with evil intentions to hide that one can not be blamed for start ing when he comes upon an umbrella left behind by some forgetful patron. It is almost human, so close is the tie which binds 1t to the owner. and you pick it up gingerly as if the uncanny contrivanee of silk and steel were a corpse left in the gloom by stricken murderer
