NO LACK OF PUBLIC
 SPIRIT ]! DISPLAYED ].
 IN BEACH FAMILY
Though Councils Order Cant be Enforced, They Order
 New Walks Laid
We'll Known Residents of North End Placed in False Light
 by UnfOunded Reports

Fred ! F. Beach, the we'll known pattern maker and his mother. Mrs. Jennie C.. Beach, one of the best known of the older families of the North End, have been subjected to unjust criticism because of an tun- founded report that they have plan ned to leave their North Main street properties without sidewalks.
 MT. Beach and his mother have been represented as refusing to carry out the orders of the common coun- cil. Quite the contrary is true. While the Common Council is, not in posi- ing of walk on the west side of Main street, MT. Beach and his mother have ordered walks for not only that part of the street, but also for prop erty on the east side of the street. for which the council had not made any order.
 , Owing to the development of tlu the Beach and Mrs. Beach both of whom are extensive property owners, have been put to much expense in the lay- ing of sewers, and other improve ments incidental to the development of the section, from which as yet they have received little or no return. But they have never displayed any lack of public spirit.
 The situation which gave rise to the unfounded report is that the Board of Apportionment refused to appropriate a contingent fund for the first district which is ordinarily at the disposal of the director to use for laying walks and similar work for which the city may collect from the property owner. In the absence of such a fund the director can't do work which individuals may neglect or refuse to do on the councils order.
 MT. Reach and his mother knew the director couldn't force the work this year, but with characteristic en- terprise they did not wait for. the Common Councils further action but went ahead with placing the contracts for the work which will be begun very SOOn

LAST CONVENTION. OF ITS KIND ! IS
 THAT [ IN. BALTIMORE
Pitiable to See Able Orators Checked by Bedlam of
 Tongues
fBy Our Staff correspondent.)

Ry Our Staff Correspondent)
 Baltimore, June 27.-This is the last Convention of it's kind which will ever be held by the Democratic Party. From the first it has not been a de- liberate body because of the lack of order-a veritable bedlam incident to the large gallery following the pro ceedings. Most of this spirit which has so characterized this assembly has emanated, not from the delegates, not from the press benches but from the throng who pack the Armory to wit ness this Convention in about the same frame of mind as a Roman mob at a Gladiatorial Combat
 Those who hoped that this Demo- cratic Convention would proceed with dignity and despatch to the comple- ton of it's responsible task are dis gusted at the way things are going. On every side one hears the sugges- tion that hereafter National Conven- tiQns should be held in small halls, large enough to accommodate in com fort the delegates, a few alternates, and actual working members of the press; and small enough to make it imperative to bar out the crowd, who instead of making these Conventions sdignihed, .deliberated assemblies have lowered them to the level of the base bali hIeacher and the football sta diurn.
 # It is too bad, actually pftiable. to see so many able orators brave the gen eral babble and hedlam in vain. Of all who have spoken to date, only four {Bryan, Johnston, Gore and Baker) have really weathered the storm to 8 degree which would permit one to say that they have received a respectful hearing.
 Many insist that Bryan in the su- preIne and splendid effort of last Tuesday was not the Bryan Of old. In explanation Of this it must be ad- mitted that MT. Bryan was subjected continually to interruption, that tend- cd to destroy all the force of his well rounded periods. Bryan may, not have been the Bryan Of old because he did not have even half a chance to display his wonderful oratorical pow CTS. Some say. these interruptions were all part of we'll formed plan on the part of the Nebraskan's oppon& ents to prevent him from stampeding the Convention If 90, the echeme worked-Bryah's speech was an 71nan- swerable bit of logic and rhetoric, punctuated with hoOts, misses and cat calls for and against Parker Is it any wonder men say it fell rather fiat? The fact is that under the cir cumstances itS effect was marvellous.
 The first day of the Convention, Tuesday, shuwed the eclipse of Bryan and the rise of Clark. The second day, sWednesday was characterized by the rise of Bryan and Wilson once more and the decline of Clark.

might be all bunk after all.
In Cook county the voters had
a chance to indicate their choice

declared that majority of their

The independence league was not
strong enough to win, but it Sc
cured enough votes to beat the
Democrats in several state and

When Bryan made his last run
for the presidency, Hearst, the
man who now scores JudSon Har-

bofters, was candidate for vice
president on the Independence

to that ticket. Perhaps that was

THE MAN IN THE MOON.

The man in the moon was smiling last
night
As he always does when the sky is
bright,
And he laughed as he looked down on
the town
And saw the man and the maiden in
brown.
And he stopped his ears. and he turned
his head,
And heard not word that either one
said,
And he did not see the man put his arm
ABOUT the fair girl, and sound an alarm.
For the man in the moon is a jolly old
And for public opinion he cares not a
rap,
For he loves every maiden and lover I'm
told,
Fol, his heart is still young, although
he is old.
So the years they will come with their
sorrows and joys,
And girls will be girls, and boys will be
boys,
And the man in the moon will look down
with delight,
% And smile on the lovers on every clear
night.
