} The World’s Fair at St. Louis is now in the midst of its splendid sea- son. Colossal, complete, cosmopoli- tan, it commands the attention of the world as no other enterprise of the present year. From all nations there are pilgrims coming to this shrine, and from all our states and territories there is a constantly growing throng of visitors. United States Senators, Governors of States, men eminent in science, art, and letters—all express unqualified admiration for the Exposi- tion and free acquiescence in the oft- repeated statement that this is by far the greatest and best universal expo- sition ever held. During July a well-known magazine and newspaper writer from New York, Mr. Addison Steele, spent a week at the World’s Fair, inspecting the grounds, buildings and various attrac- tions-as thoroughly as was possible im that limited period. Returning home, Mr. Steele published in Brooklyn Life the following appreciative com- ments on the Exposition: In the expressive language of the cay, St. Louis “has the goods.” I had expected much of the Louisiana Pur- chase Exposition, for I had kept in touch with the making of it from its very inception, five years ago; but after nearly a week of journeying through this new wonderland I must confess that in every essential par- ticular it is far beyond my expecta- tions. The biggest and best it was meant to be and the biggest and best WORLD’S FAIR FAR BEYOND EXPECTATIONS Verdict of a New York Writer Who Spent .a Week at the Exposition at St. Louis in July. Apert focrclfesrcelifornlifredfrmel fore frrmlipesmrdpocmedtpeomedypooeh ent parts do justice to their nobility of architecture and genetal grander, Then again in the ground plans and bird’s-eye sketches—the only possible manner of showing it—the tan-shaped arrangement of this group looked stiff and unsatisfying. Far from that, it is quite as remarkable in its way as the famous Court of Honor of the Colum- bian Exposition. In one respect it is even more notable, for instead of two grand vistas it offers a dozen. ~ The main vista is, of course, the one look- ing up the Plaza of St. Louis—whose crowning feature is the great Lou ana Purchase Monument—and acro: the Grand Basin to the Cascade Gar- j dens. On the right are the Varied In- dustries and Electricity buildings and on the left Manufacturers and Edu- cation, these—with Transportation and Machinery still further to the right and Liberal Arts and Mines beyond at the left—making up the body of the fan. For its handle the fan has the Cascade Gardens—rising in a grand terrace to a height of sixty-five feet above the floor level of the buildings mentioned and crowned by the great Festival Hall, the Terrace of States end the East and West Pavilions—and the Fine ‘Arts building directly behind. * * * The Pike has in the Tyrolean Alps the finest concession that I have ever seen. There is a great square with many quaint buildings, a little village street, and above the snow-clad moun- tains—which look very real as the infinite variety, and as a rule the full money’s worth is given. The enor- mous Jerusalem and Boer War con- cessions are not on the Pike. s+ 8 It is a case of dine at the German Pavilion and die at the exposition. In a beautiful Moderne Kunst building adjoining Das Deutsche Haus the best fcod and the highest prices on the grounds are to be found, the table @hote lunch and dinner costing two and three dollars, respectively. There 1s also a la carte service. Everything | considered, the prices are not exces- sive, and at least one meal should be taken there for the experience. An- other should be taken at the Tyrolean Alps, either outdoors or in the gor- geous dining-room in the mountain- side. The best French restaurant is at Paris, on the, Pike. Lower in prices and in every. way admirable are the two restaurants conducted by Mrs. Rorer in the pavilions of Cascade Gardens. The east one has wait- resses and no beer and the west one waiters and beer. For a bit of lunch Germany, France and England all offer delicious pastry in the Agricul- tural building. These are not free ads, but time-saving tips for the trav- eler. There are no end of restaurants to fit all purses on the grounds. I tried nine of them and nowhere found the prices more than they ought to be. As a matter of fact, for neither food tor lodging no one need pay any more at St. Louis than he feels that he can LOUISIANA PURCHASE MONUMENT AND PALACE OF VARIED INDUSTRIES. it is. The exposition, rumors notwith- standing, is quite finished. Re ’ One of the greatest, and certainly one of the most agreeable, of my many surprises was the extreme beauty of the main group of buildings. For the simple reason that the camera does not exist which could take in the vast picture as the eye ‘sees it, the early views of the group—a bit here and a bit there—gave a scant idea.of | the scheme as a whole. Nor did the early views of the ten individual dings which make up its compon- evening falls. The best scenic rail- rpad yet devised affords several fine glimpses of the Alps and there is a very graphic exposition of the Ober- ammergau passion play in the little church. The Cliff Dwellers’ conces- sion also looks very realistic at night- fall. It is elaborate in arrangement and the courting, snake and other dances by the Southwestern Indians make it another of the Pike shows | which should be taken in by all. In Seville there is an amusing marionette theater and some genuine Spanish dancing. For the rest the Pike offers afford, and yet be well fed and housed, it he will use ordinary common sense in making a selection out of the abundance offered. see Hot? Yes, but on the two hottest days of the summer at St. Louis I suffered no more from the heat than in New York before leaving and after j returning. Every day of the seven there was a breeze at the fair grounds and it was always possible to find a shady spot. The nights were cool and comfortable. ADDISON STEELE. aA eee eee eee eee eer); O Ores HAS FAD FOR PHOTOGRAPHS. Thousands of Negatives Made For Millionaire August Belmont. Among rich Americans perhaps none is so fond of being photographed as August Belmont, James R. Keene being a close second. One New York photographer, whose*patrons are most ty wealthy men, has» made thousands of negatives for Mr. Belmont in the last few years. One of the largest single orders for prints from old nega- tives ever received by this photog- rapher came from Mr. Belmont himself soon after the death of his wife. It included a good print from every nega- tive in which Mrs. Belmont appeared, The photographer never guessed how many photographs he had taken for Belmont till then; he found that they numbered nearly a thousand. Why Birds e Long. Why do birds live so much longer than mammals, which are often a hun- dred times their size? Possibly, among other things, because they have beaks instead of teeth. All carnivorous beasts become weak and liable to star- vation, as their teeth drop out or break. Neither are the herbivorous animals in much better case. old horses would probably die of starva- tion if wild, for their teeth would fail them; indeed, in some stony countries old horses have to be killed because | their teeth are worn away by cropping grass close to the rock. Rodents con- stantly die from injuries to teeth. But a bird’s beak neither wears out nor drops off, and as it constantly swal- lows fresh grit to aid in grinding food in the gizzard that needs no repairing either. How the Waiter Lost a Tip. At one of the Kansas City hotels where the colored waiters give espe- cially good service, but always expect adequate remuneration for the same from the guests, a waiter was espe- cially officious the other day in serv- ing a man from whom he expected a liberal tip. When the meal had been served and he was standing off at one side, edgerly looking for an opportu- nity to be of service, he said to the guest: “Didn’t yo’ have a brothah heah last veek, sah?” “No,” said the one addressed, “I be- lieve not.” “Well,” continued the waiter, “theh was a gem’man heah at mah table what looked ve’y much like you, and he was so well pledsed with the serv- fee that he gave me 50 cents when he jeft.” The guest had by this time finished his meal, and as he arose he said to the expectant servitor: “Come to think of it, Sam, that was my brother that was here, and I guess he paid you for the whole family. | He may be back again in a week or two.” —Kansas City Journal. Church and School for Indians. Mother Katherine Drexel of Phila- delphia, founder and head of the Or- der of the Blessed Sacrament. com- posed of nuns who devote their lives to the uplifting of the Indian and ne- gro, has offered $500,000 of her own private fortune with which to build a chureh aod school for the Indians of the Winnebago, Neb., reservation. The only condition is that the Indians consent, and this Father Schell of Homer, Neb., has obtained. SET THEM ON EACH OTHER. Belligerent Callers Fooled by Quick- Witted Newspaper Man. Representative Brownlow of Ten- nessee tells that oncé he was running a country paper during campaign times and was printing “fighting” language every week. One day, just after the paper was out, a big man, armed with a club, walked into the sanctum and fiercely inquired if the editor was in. The frightened Brown- Jow had wit enough to answer that he was not, but that he would go out and hunt him tp. He started for the street and at the foot of ‘the stairs met another irate fellow, who asked: “Will I find the editor of this dirty sheet upstairs?” “Yes,” said Brown- low, “he’s up there at his desk just itching fora fight.” The second man went up and Brownlow disappeared. Which whipped the other is not re- jated—and Brownlow didn’t go back during the day to find out. Ancient Phases Corrupted. Ancient Picts in England were called by the Celtic word “pehta” or fighters. This was Latinized into Pic- ti. So, too, Barbary of the ancient maps is a monument to the miscalling of the Berber tribe by the Greek word signifying “barbarian.” Even the leg- end of the victory of Guy of Warwick over the dun cow is assailed by ruth- less etymologists, who insist upon its derivation from his conquest over the “Dena gau,” or Danish settlement, at the champion’s gates, The Celtic words ‘alt maen” are responsible for many “old man” crags upon sea coasts and among mountains, | however, “high rock.” - HAPPIER IN HIS NEW HOME. Materialized Spirit Gave Consolation to His Widow. “Spiritualism,” said Gov. Aycock of North Carolina, “is a marvelous thing. 1 used to know a widow who thought she would look into it a little. She visited a medium, and the man agreed for $5 to give her some, conversation with her dead husband. “He put the lights out and fell into & trance, and suddenly a dim, pale shape appeared in the furthest, black- est corner of the room. “Are you my husband? Are you John?” the widow whispered, tremu- lously. ““T am John,’ a bass voice answered. “For a moment, awestricken, the widow was silent. Then she said: “Do you forgive me for my ill-treat- ment of you in life?’ “‘T forgive all,’ replied the voice. “‘Are you happier than you were when you were living?’ “Much happier.’ “‘Have you no desire earth?’ “None whatever.’ “Where are you, John?’ “In hades,’ said the spirit.”—Cleve- land Leader. to return to Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that Contain Mercury, 8 mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces.

In tremendously big letters the ad- vertisement of a Western Mining com- pany is painted in red, white and green on the side of a Warren street sky- scraper. The directors of the company probably paid the painter a big sum for his artistic endeavor, but unless he s00n rectifies one of his mistakes they will be justified in discontinuing his wages. What the man undertook to say in his aerial advertisement was that the plant was: fitted with the larg- est smelter in the world.

The office boy put the waste basket down. “T would like,” said he, with one eye on the baseball schedule, “to go to a funeral to-day, Mr. Cranke.” “You won’t though,” replied cold-hearted boss. “I know it,” said the office boy, “but I would like to, just the same.” “Whose funeral,” asked Mr. Cranke. “Yours,” replied the office boy.

Sunday school was making an appeal for a collection for a Shut-in society, and said: “Can any boy or girl tell me of a shut-in person mentioned in the Bible? Ah, I see several. hands raised.

Why, that’s too much to pay even for a ball gown.” “Of course it is, papa,’ but see—” “There’s no use discussing it. I can’t afford to throw money away.” “But you don’t understand, papa. Ten dollars a yard sounds like a lot, because you don’t know what I want. | You haven’t studied the fashions.
