The Coliseum is an octagon, con iderably narrowed at one end by a jagonal side wall. The greatest ngth of the building is from north | south, and its narrowest dimension rom east to west has been railed off or the platform and press sections he platform is forty feet wide, and mediately back of the' speakers’ tand and the tables for tellers and lerks, a platform extension rises to he rear of the upper balcony. This xtension contains seats for 512 per ons. These scats were distributed y the national committee, and the embers of the committee and their Immediate parties are 1o occupy most f them. Around the arena floor on three ides are the hoxes, which are re rved for specially invited guests barty leaders of prominence, diplo nats, etc. That part of the public which is ot fortunate enough to have plat- lorm box seats is to be accommodated n the arena balcony, which rises im- ediately from the boxes, and in the balcony, which corresponds to the econd gallery in most pubilc halls. The total number of seats available or the public therefore is 5,894, and he distribution of part of these is llotted to the St ‘.r)uu committee hich raised the $100,000 convention und. On the west side of the Coliseum, back of the speakers’ platform, are the vork rooms for the press associations nd the telegraph companies, As this pace, as originally plamwd, proved 00 narrow to accommodaie the press ssociations, an eight foot passage way through this section was aban oned, and by order of the mayor an lley in the rear of the Coliseum was vacted, and covered with and awning his serves as a passageway. A pas ageway under the platform leads from the press sections on the arena floor to the work and telegraph rooms in the rear On the north side of the building the Washington avenue side—is a large emergency hospital; on the south side are the rooms of the dem acratic national committee, and on the east—or Jefferson avenue—side is the room of the sergeant-at-arms and the convention postoffice Walls Painted White. The decorations of the Coliseum were designed by Edward C. Dillman of St. Louis. In order to obtain as much daylight as possible, the walls of the Coliseum have been painted white. To get the full benefit of this reflection 1t was necessary to ex clude decorations from the walls, The decorations, accordingly, have bheen placed around the front of the bal Persons in Big Octagonal Build- | - PRIESTS AT FRONT Campaign by French Anti-Clerical Element Brings Work to of an army to group of stretcher-hearers and t atholic ck teenth street | given their lives on ne field of battle I'eachers of the Edward Rosewater | has not yet heen counted, for hesides school are very proud of this bright |the chaplams there are several thou | mercial Attache TAHA dow remair altar,and 1tk tantd t 1l struck chaplain and his & Fragments of the priest in the } floor Public Notice. b ,{',}W,”,/“: t y.w”f” the ¢ or the chaplain well as for the MANY FALL ON BATTLE FIELDS| o, the chiplain as well as fof ih ch e of every-day existence at the Reysel ot Kol dupagiaad aven:) His place is wherever there | May 27 in by the |is fighting.
