Chicago. June l7.-With delega.
tinns from the various states and
machine clubs, the incessant din Of
brass bands and exploding enthusiasm
IT Is evident that something out Of
the ordinary Is about to take place.
With all this evidence OF national
convention, yet there seems to have
been a gloom settled over the national
leaders.
There seems to be feeling In the
minds of the old time attendants at
conventions for the past forty years
that the multitude is not as great
and that there is lack of that wild
enthusiasm which has been the rule
In former conventions. There seems
to be such IA feeling that everything
is SO cut and dried affair that the
hotel managemens are threatening
legal proceedings against delegations
which have engaged suits, but at the
last moment have cancelled their
orders.
Many Of the leading men of the re-
publican party of the past. and it is
equally true that many of the old
leaders are conspicuous by their alb
sence. The presidential candidates
are at their headquarters with the
usual throngs moving from one to the
other. The Taft headquarters show
the most activity with the noisy cn.
thusiasm of the followers. The Knox
following make up in noise with its
two brass bands and shouting march.
ing clubs, for what it lacks in en-.
thusiasln.
The boosters are experiencing some
alarm over the possibility of the con.
vention at the last moment being
stampeded for Roosevelt. Without
doubt there will be strong effort
made in that direction. 1t IS openly
talked on the street and the hote
lohbies that many Of the state delega
tes are willing to break their In
structions and throw their strength
to the man who has placed Taft
where he now is possibility.
The Taft friends are anxious t(
close up the business OF the conven
tion by not later than tomorrow
night, but others claim that this car
not be done under twenty-four tt
forty eight hours later. The Taft con
tingent realize that herein lies tht
danger, as it will allow the thirc
termers time in which to perfec,
their plans and throw the convention
in an uproar by creating a stampede

refuses to accept, even after he has
been nominated Taft will be out of
the running and all the forces of the
convention will center upon Governor
Hughes of New York.

Ohio delegation, already prepared for
the acceptance OF the convention. but
its contents are known only in a gen.
eral way 1t is claimed that it was
drafted In accordar ce with the views
of the president ard Mr.. Taft and
would go before the convention In
substantially its present form. AS
there will be several strong reaction
aries on the platform committee,
there Is a grave possibility that the
platform as written will meet with
strong opposition.
Dalzell and Payne may insist that
the tariff plank be modified more in
keeping with their views. 1t Is
claimed that the financial plank will
pass muster, but the hard fight will
be on the anti-injunction plank,
urged by Mr.. Gompers. and other
labor leaders. While the labor leaders
are insisting that the plank rem ain.
as written by Roosevelt, hundreds of
kilograms are pouring in from manu-.
facturers and other employers of labor
opposing the measure.
A forecast OF the tariff plank Is,
that it will be almost word for word

Hope for Bishop Potter,

Cooperstown, N. With each sue ceeding hour, hope brightens for the recovery of Bishop Potter, who is se- riously i'll here from complication of stomach and liver troubles His phy- sicians Sunday night believed that his improved condition warrants a decid- ed hope for favorable outcome of the case.

reckon the elephant seal. This most remarkable creature, the giant among the seals, was at one time to be met with in vast herds along the whole length of the Pacific coast of America, from north to south, whence they passed to the South Shetlands, and turning northwards peopled the Falk- lands and south Georgia. They further colonized Tristan da Cunha in the south Atlantic, and spread thence into the Indian ocean, finding congenial homes in the Crozets, Kerguelen and Heard island Emigrants from the Pa cific coast of America in due time strayed to the Marquesas and other South Sea islands, and to the Mac quarie and other islands of New Zealand
 Then came the sealers, who. for the sake of hides and oil, pursued these harmless creatures during the eighteenth and early part of the nine teenth century with relentless energy and diabolical cruelty, the details of which We will spare our readers. One after another of these numerous and thickly-pcpulated colonies was wiped out till at last but a remnant is ali

decorations were even more pictur- esque, and the illumination scheme was the most brilliant Denver ever at tempted
 Fifteenth, Sixteenth and Seven teenth streets, three of the main thoroughfares in the city, were reve- latiOns in color. On Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets there are eight iron ornamental electric poles to a block, four on each side of the street. On these streets the poles were draped with red, white and blue bunting. Wires were stretched across the street from these poles and from each wire two American flags were suspended The flags hung over the street and were weighted" to prevent them from becoming tangled and torn by the wind.
 cn Seventeenth street the scheme was the same, except there were only six poles to each block, two at each corner and two at each alley.
 At each crossing two wires were strung diagonally across the intersec- tion, from which red, white and blue incandeseent lights hung. The busi- ness houses along the three streets were handsomely decorated with bunting and flags. Elaborate and cost ly electric display signs had been put in place on the buildings, and at night Fifteenth, Sixteenth and Seven teenth streets were blaze of light.
 Electric display signs are one of the main features of business life in Denver. Every merchant has an cleo tric sign, and as all of the streets that cross the three thoroughfares de- scribed are live business streets, the committee on illumination did not find it necessary to add much in the way of light to these avenues of trade. However, the business houses were handsomely decorated with bunting and flags, so the entire business sec tion of Denver was mass of color when the big convention opened.
 The people of Denver, in addition to decorating their city and providing a beautiful and commodious auditorium for the Democratic national conven- tion, seemed determined to convince every visitor that true western hos pitality is not thing of the past in this city. The real Denverite is hos pitable because hospitality is in the atmosphere in the wonderful Rocky mountain country.

INDIAN TRIBE OF MEXICO THAT
 CLINICS TO PRIMITIVE WAYS.
How a Comparatively Large Tribe of the State of Chihuahua Has Been Able to Maintain Racial
 Integrity.

Mexico has two primitive Indian tribes to deal with which have proved a troublesome factor in the national life. First of all there is the tribe of Yaquis in Sonora and western Chihua- hua, who are being dealt with so Se- verely at the present time that it is only a question of few years when the tribe will be entirely eXterminated, and the other tribe is that of the Tara meek and retiring disposition have kept retreating from civilization, and have had little to do with any outside their tribe. So they remain a com paratively large tribe scattered over an immense territory embracing most of the state of Chihuahua. They shun the stranger, and their one desire is to be undisturbed in the life which was passed by their ancestors.
 The Taramuari is short, well built, with good musculature and little fat; his chest is large, and his figure grace full. The face has all the character istics of the Indian, but the nostrils di C c u lliC JIOliIACuI HIS Shll lo fOly dark, and the black hair is allowed to hang down on his shoulders. He wears a cotton band about his head, and woolen breechclout about his waist. Evenings or cold days he uses his poncho, which is a blanket with a hole in the center through which he places his head, or blanket which he winds about his shoulders, leaving the legs uncovered. He has never used feathers for decoration, as have the Indians of the north, and instead of moccasins he wears sandals.
 It is seldom that one sees pure Taramuari in any of the larger cities, and only occasionally in the very small villages or settlements far away from the nearest Mexican. They set tie a little valley in the mountains sheltered from severe weather and strange people. The soil is rudely cul-

 Directly over the speakers plat form, against the wall of the building near the junction with the ceiling, was a large shield Is feet high. carrying six flags 12 feet long draped in artis- tic folds. In addition to this main shield there were four other shields over the platform, each ten feet high The six flags on these shields were eight feet long.
 Just below the main shield hung a mammoth portrait of George Washing ton IA by Is feet in dimensions Red, white and blue bunting was draped from the sides of the shield to the bottom of the portrait of the Father of His Country"
 Directly under the last shield, on each side of the Washington portrait, was suspended a portrait, one of Thomas Jefferson and the other of Andrew Jackson. On each side of these pictures large American flag was draped. These flags are 40 by 60 feet in dimensions. Beyond these pictures, at each end of the wall, and hanging above the gallery, was sus- pended pendant, ten feet in diame- ter, upon which bunting was draped Upon these pendants tiger was painted. The back of the platform was banked with palms. Twenty stuffed American eagles, with extend ed wings, were suspended over the platform, each bird carrying in his bill red, white and blue silk ribbons that were draped back to the wall.
 Balcony and Galleries Draped. In the auditorium the balcony ex- tends all the way around the huge building, but the galleries are limited to each end. The front of the balcony and the fronts of the galleries and boxes were draped with bunting, 55 900 yards being necessary to complete this part of the decorative scheme. At intervals of five feet shields, three feet high, were placed.
 Thousands of yards of bunting were used in draping the corridors of the building and the walls of the bal ccny and galleries. Delegates were supplied with small American flags to wave when their feelings reached a pitch that compelled an extraordin- ary demonstration.

Denver, July 7.-The Democratic national convention was formally called to order at noon by Thomas Taggart, chairman of the national com- mittee, in the spacious auditorium erected by the citizens of Denver for the use of the convention.
 Rt. Rev James J. Keane, arch bishop of Wyoming, one of the most eloquent and able prelates in Amer ica. made the opening prayer.
 Call for Convention Read.
 After the delegates and visitors had settled in their seats, Urey Wood son of Kentucky, secretary of the na- tional committee, read the call for the convention, and brief period of de lay followed The committee on rules then made it's report, and the officers of the convention were announced They are as follows:

If one is seen, an alarm is given, and the entire population disap- pears. The unwary traveller would al most believe the town had been de- serted or wiped out by disease, were it not for the smoldering fires and oth- CT evidences of recent occupation. The traveller may help himself to such food as he may require, leaving some money for what he has taken to show that he only wished to make an hon. est trade.

 The women, though slightly small CT than the men, are strong and ac- tive. They cook, cultivate the soil, weave and lcok after the children. Their costume is also very abbrevi- ated, consisting of sort of drupery, though some can produce a rude sort of skirt for special occasions. The home life is quiet and happy, and the women are treated better than one would expect them to be. The chill dren run about naked until 12 years of age, when they adopt the costume of their elders.
 Up to the present time they have been at peace with the government. Now as civilization advances, the set tier is disturbing their accustomed solitude. Recently encroachments have been made on some of their lands, and delegates have been sent to see the governor about it. It is to be hoped that they will be allowed to remain in peaceful possession of their lands. as, if pushed too far, they may put aside their quiet ways and be- come a powerful foe to the govern ment,

discovered gradually. For ages it was used chiefly as cattle feed. Later the leaves were used as a vegetable, and the roots were roasted as a sub stitute for coffee. About the middle of the eighteenth century German chemist named Marggraf found that the roots contained considerable proportion of sugar, but it was not till 1901 that the first beet sugar fac tory was built, in Silesia, with the aid of King Frederick William III.
