Californians should dili- gently read Winston Churchill’s “The Crisis” before coming here, as many of the historic landmarks of St. Louis are mentioned in it and the people one meets are likely to ask the first thipg, “Have vou read ‘The Crisis’?’ They will point out the various features men- tioned in the book, for these are fa- miliar to St. Louisans. HISTORICAL PLACES. ‘Here and there are lJandmarks flavor- ed with the romance of those days more than a century ago when the trading station of St. Louis was the outpost of civilization. There are the silent “Father of Waters,” sepulcher of | its discoverer, the Eads bridge span- ning it and the great breweries—one the largest in the world. In the white sippi, the caves d other objects prominent in Mark Twain literature are to be seen. There are daily steamer excursions, 25 | cents the round trip, that give one a good view of the scenery along the big stream and a sight of the angry Mis- souri as it hurls its boiling yellow aters into the quiet parent river. The biggest brewery in the world, in South St. Louis, on the Mississippi bank, is day to visitors, and guides are always on hand to take parties | through free of charge, as at the San Francisco mint. There are trolley rides to beautiful ths — and the plazzas of the structure furnish a cool resting place. The San Francisco buflding in the model ity is directly opposite the Lindell boulevard —Popularly known as the Olive-street entrance, the principal entrance to the grounds. Here there Is an exhibit illustrating the commerce, art, literature, general progress and import- ance of the Pacific Coast metropolis—not all that the magnificence of this commerclal gate- way demands, but very creditable, considering the short time given to prepare for the erec- tion of the structure and the securing of the <hibit.

LOUIS, Aug. 16.—Five hundred Californians from the vicinity of Los Angeles and other parts of Southern California arrived at the World's Fair to-day and swarmed into the Califor- nia building and the California exhibits in the palaces of agriculture and horti- culture. ARE PREPARING FOR VISITORS Committee of Prominent Citizens Is Arranging for Entertainment of Knights WILL AID LOCAL ORDER Excursions to the Fruit, Wine and Mining Sections of State Are Contemplated The executive committee of the prominent citizens’ committee organ- ized to assist in the entertainment of the visiting Knights Templar during conclave week held an important meeting in the office of Mayor Schmitz vesterday afternoon. Though no de inite plan was agreed upow, this be- ing lett for the decision of the general committee, which meets this arter- {noon in Maple Hall, Palace Hotel, at 8 o'clock, the way was cleared for in- telligent work, the full scope >f the plans of the local lodges of the order being laid before the meeting. | There were present at the meeting I Mayor Schmitz. who occupied E. Beck, J. P. Currier, F. H. Goodman, Alexan lliam McMurr: Sbarboro, 1. J | Admiral Whiting, S, {de St. Paul-Seitz, who acted as sec }!ary. After calling the meeting to o | der Mayor Schmitz brietly outlined the { purpose of the meeting—to aid in the entertainment of the visiting Knights and above all to bring to their atien- rces of Californis ORDER'S PL. Grand Commander Pierce arrived at this point and upon request of the Mayor outlined the plans of the locai Knights for the reception and enter- | tainment of the visitors. He said that | rooms for all the visitors had been ob- i tained and headquarters would be es- | tablished and bureaus of information | provided that would insure lack of | confusion so far as the reception and assignment to quarters was concerned, but what his order especially desired |was that the committee take up the question of booming California. | T. H. Goodman informed the com- | mitte that a series of excursions had been arranged, but perhaps there was | room for suggestion for more and big- !ger ones than had been provided for. | One point, however, he wished to call to the attention of the committee was that the original plan of the Knights lto illuminate Union Square had been | abandoned and he suggested that this | be taken up at once by the committee. | Pierce informed the committee that the reason for the abandonment of this plan was not for lack of money at | the time the plan was conceived, but because the light companies had stat- the AR ed that they were unable to supply the i current. CURRENT NOW AVAILABLE. { He had been informed, however, that the companies are now in a po- \ sition to supply the current, but so far as the local order is concerned it is too late. The money originally set aside for this purpose has been ex- tpended in other channels, so if the square is to be illuminated as intend- ed the funds must come from bther quarters. This question will be taken up at the meeting of the general com- mittee to-day. At the suggestion of F. W. Dohr- mann, Messrs. Currier, Dohrmann, Jennings, Sbarboro and Truman were appointed a committee of five to con- fer with the entertainment committee of the local Knights that the citizens’ committee may obtain information as to just where it can be of most ser. vice. It is the general opinion the committee will decide to increase the number of excursions so as to take in the fruit and wine districts of the State and even go as far as the mining counties of the Sierra Nevada, the ining industry being of special in- to the Easterners. After deciding to request all of the ‘ citizens of the city to decorate their homes in honor of the conclave the committee adjourned to report its views of the situation to the general committee this af FEATURES OF THE CONCLAVE. Visitors Will Be Entertained During Their Entire y Here. The local order’s entertainment committee, of which R. B. Moore is chairman, is most active in preparing entertainment for the visitors, so as te keep them occupied and fully enter- tained from the time they arrive in | San Francisco until they depart. The entertainment is to be quite out of the ordinary, as the committee is anx- ious to show the visitors the features peculiar to the Pacific Coast. The best iroop of Chinese perform- ers, brought especially for the occa- sion from China, will give perform- ances every night at the Grand Opera- house; daily excursions on the bay, free to visiting Knights Templar and | their families; concerts in the public parks and entertainments at the vari- ous headquarters, by attr: ly, if ever seen in the E , Such as the natives of China, Japan, Sandwich Islands and the South Sea Islands, will be features. 3 Many commanderies are scheduied the station will take one to the busi- |t0 arrive in San Francisco on Monday | | evening, September 5, and Tuesday morning, September 6, the day of the parade. tee is apprehensive that some of those cemmanderies will reach cisco too late to be in the parade. It will be difficult for the railroad com. panies to handle such an unusually large amount of traffic, the largest in i the history of California, and many of the special trains will be late in arriv- ing.
