Then comes 11 period when the world has nothing to offer. His life has been useless, it grows weary of itself, and goe out nf its own accord.

The fact that Philadelphia is the third city In the country in the matter of population strikes us ns being less important than the fact that Us people nre prosperous nnd happy and that it Is a first -clash town to live in.

Cumviings Has Proved Acme of Efficiency in Arrang ing Details and California Weather Proves to Be Irreproachable By CLINTON Copvrloht. tHO. by fvin Francisco, f'nllf.. .Time .-. A national convention in comfort, that is what the Democrats hnve at San Prnn cjsco. Tho (onifort is of various kinds, rirst. there is the climate you sleep under u blanket in Snu Francisco nnd debate whether or not to wear nn over coat in tho daytime. It is something to escape the .sweltering hent of Chicago where 14,000 i eoplo oozed nwny under tho thin loof of the Coliseum. Then thoio is the look of crowding. Han Frnucisoo it n much smaller city thnu Chicago, hut it is swallowing up n nn tlonul convention and its crowds much icoie easily than its Great Luke rival. This is be-aiiM' Chicago for convention purposes consists of three hotels nud about ns many blocks on .Miciiigau uve nue, while tho convention is distt United over San Frnuciscn with its many modern hotels ull nbout the center of the city. Now thero is the comfort if good food. San Frnncisco is that rarest ot Americnn cities, one with many excel lent uniill lostnurnnts. It is almost Kuropcaii in this respect. Chicago is not. In Chicago during convention time nt the leading hotels you pny n large price for ii view of much silver and for ll small quantliy ot not very 1'iiiuic foods; a fortnight's search failed to dis close unythlng but n few ordinary rcs tnurnnts. Evidently Chlcngoans do not know bow .o cnt. Prices Moderate At tho Snn Francisco restaurants pi iocs do not seem lo luivo oeen nu vnnce.d to HuhN" the pockets of the convention's crowds. At the leading hotels hero ou get u brenl.fnst 1011 sisting of fruit, that is to snv, lor oj iiinplc, half n melon or a dNi of ber ries, bacon nnd eggs, n good -sized pot of ooffeo and rolls for ninety cents:, the same food would have cost !?1.i.i or is'J in Chicago. Food prlciN generally nro lower than in New W k or ash ington. It mny have cost the delegates something in milroad fuies to get here, but it will cost them less to stnv than nt Chicago, for not onl nro loud prices less but rooms in hotels or .ho con vention cost about half what they did '"ll'igbtX'ro justi,o should he done to Homer S.

Usually a party collec s whi.t it can from the hotel nnd restaurant men nf n convention city nnd then turns the delegates- nnd the press over to the hotel nnd rcBttiuriint men to bo robbed. Mr. Cumnilngs did not. Urst ho made u reservation for tho nntional com mittee of hII tlie hotel rooms available and suitably located in Sun Francisco. Then he cnused these 100ms to be nllo cntcd to tho delegntc and to the news paper representatives, seeing that they got the first choice of all the rooms, that there was uo overcrowding, nnd insisting thnt no more than a reason ..

There is to be no rushing of the convention by crowds, such ns has often taken place nt Chi cago. A stockade has been built nbout tho Auditorium here, to keep tho crowds ut n distance. Of course, n splendid building like tho Auditorium, witli n high board stockade nround it, would not look very well, but the Ran Fran ciscans, with their instinct for the proprieties, hnve met that difficulty. They have covered tlie stockudo with branches from some shrub so that it looks like a tnll green hedge instead of a rough-board stockade. No one can get inside this stockade hedge who is not entitled to enter the convention. Inside tho hall the chairman controls the convention nnd the galleries by a s.vstem of telephones by which he mny reach sergeants-at-arms stationed in all parts of tho hall, especially in the galleries. If anybody makes trouble the chairman, bv telephone, may direct the attention of the nearest sergeant-nt-arms lo him. The now telephone system fnr amplifying the huimiti voice hangs over the convention platform. It is adjusted to the vocal power of ouch speaker who takes the rostrum. By it even the feeblest voices may be made to resound through the great hall. This device was first successfully used in the Itepublicnn convention nt Chi cago.
