Rival Jefferson Banqueters.

The two Jefferson day banquets on
April Is, one at New York and the 9th
er at Chicago, illustrated the existing
who in the past have been prominent
in the councils of the Democratic par
ty. At Chicago the principal speakers
were Mayor Dunno, w. J. Bryan, May
or Johnson of Cleveland and George
Fred Williams of Massachusetts, and
the burden of their talk was denuncia-
ton of monopolies in any and all forms,
while Mayor Dunne frankly advocated
the national ownership of interstate
utilities as the Democratic platform.
At New York Alton B. Parker, D.
Cady Herrick, Mayor Mcclellan and
others added their more conservative,
but less specific, views about what
should be done. Mayor Mcclellan made
the hit Of the occasion by owning up
the lesson of defeat and proclaiming
that public office should not be the sole
ambition Of Democracy.
Mayor Dunno Installed.
Without public demonstration or
ceremonial Edward f. Dunno was in
augurated as mayor of Chicago on April

mails, ETC., and they will not be mail
able after Sept 1 except at the regu-
lar rates Of postage.

Planet Mars Changing Color.
Professor Percival Lowell Of the
Flagstaff (Ariz.) observatory has no
tilted the Harvard officials that the col

the erythraen sea recently turned from
blue green to chocolate brown. Pro
fessor Pickering Of Harvard thinks
that this change is merely climatic.
The so called sea is not believed to be
in reality a water area, but a level ex-
tent Of vegetation. Winter is the pres

to nave been stolen.
This is the elimination of the sensn-

official with the disposition of some
stock. though 1t Is claimed that he was
merely acting as agent in selling with

how he had time to work up a private
enterprise while apparently performing
his duties.
