BY OLIVER p. NEWMAN.

CHICAGO, June li,-Of course,
Congressman Mckinley is a figure OF
fairly large Importance at Chicago.
So is Boss Bill Barnes OF New
York. Joe" Dixon, manager for
Roosevelt, has assumed altitudinous
proportions in the last few months.
And there are scores OF others. But
when William jennings Bryan hit
town they dwindled-in power TO at
tract attention-to the size of ward
politicians.
Bryan, sis always the case wher-
ever he goes, is the star attraction.
The regular Republican leaders are
the soubrettes in the show.

drifts in and out among the conven-
ton crowds with a smile foot wide,
radiating good stories, good nature
and hand-shakes. and picking up at

one OF his best stories;
"A man in New York the other day

WHERE SEDAN CHAIR is USED
on May Day In KAutsford,
England.

The news that there Is woman still
living who rode in a Sedan chair Is
reminder Of the fact that there is one
town in England where a Sedan chair
is still used. 1t is at Knutsford, In
Cheshire-the Crawford" of Mrs.
Gaskell. Every May day Knutsford
arrays itself in gala attire. Sports are
held on the village green, the May
queen is elected and crowned, and
in order that no aspect OF antiquity
should be missing-the Sedan chair Is
produced.
Whatever may have been absolutely
the latest date at which Sedan chair
was used, the chair, at any rate, had
longer life than most forms Of public
conveyance For it appeared in Eng
land as early as 1881, and in London
fifty years later, when Sir Francis Dun
comb obtained the sole privilege of
letting and hiring them. Thus the
Sedan chair was in use for roughly
three centuries, and how many hand

m SEARCH OF BLUE ROSE
Modern Hortieulturist Has Very High
Ambitions, Says England's Pre-
mler Gardener.

To find a blue rosel That is the
great ambition of the modern garden
er, according to Sir Harry veitch.
England's premier gardener, who was
recently knighted by the king, and the
honor was well deserved, for no
one in the world has worked more in
defatigably for the development of
horticulture, and no one has made
more important discoveries. Indeed,
in the course of his fifty years of
business the gardening knight has in
troduced into this country many hun
dreds of plants.
For four generations his family has
been associated with the romance Of
flowers-the late Mr. James Veitch
was described as "the first nursery
man of his day"-and it was the
Veitchs who began the policy Of ran
sacking the world, especially the
Equatorial world, for orchids and
studied the reproduction and cross fer
tilization of foliage plants. Early in
life Sir Harry made 1t his aim to be-
come sort of universal provider in
the gardening world, and for years he
has had travellers in all parts Of the
globe searching for rare plants.
Curiously enough, he considers that
China is one of the most wonderful
fields for work of this sort, and he
mentions the fact that one of his trav-
elers has lately come back from the
celestial land after a three years trip,
in the course of which he got as far as
Thibet and had to struggle for life
with four bandits to preserve his spe-
cimens. The risk these travellers run
for unknown flowers are often very
great, and sometimes expeditions
prove very disappointing. ut is fas.
cinating work, however," says Sir
Harry, "and has often led flower
searchers into corners of the world
which have never been trodden before
by white men,"

Prehistorio Dinosaurs Found.

What is believed to be an important
find of hitherto undiscovered species
and genera of prehistoric land reptiles
has just been made. Twelve fossils
or skeletons Of dinosaurs, among them
two complete brontosaurs-the largest
animals that have ever lived-were
unearthed from the side Of cliff nine
miles north Of Jansen, Utah, in what
was, in distant ages, a river; as the
cobbles, mussel shells, and sand en-
vironlng the bones showed. Besides
these specimens Of the extinct bronto-
saurus fossil, remains Of several stego-
saurus specimens were also brought
to light. These, Mr.. Hartley M. Phelps
tells us, are very rare. The stegosau-
rus was the most grotesQque animal
that ever existed. The brontosaurus
often attained length q 80 feet. but
1t had a small head. It's neck and tail
were short. Like the stegosaurus, 1t
lived by eating succulent herbs, 1t
had powerful legs, 10 feet or so in
length. The diplodocus measured 70
feet long, had an immense body, pow.
erful legs, and an enormously long tail
and long neck, but a small head. 1t
lived in swamps and ate waterweeds
Its remains have only been found on
the slopes of the Rocky mountains.
