People who are interested in art are
just beginning to learn that it is a good
plan to visit the Exposition art gallery
in the morning, when they can enjoy
the sight of the rare canvases without
being jostled by crowd which often
rather shocks the ears of true artist
with altogether too plebiean expressions.
AS rule, the lover of art prefers
comparative solitude, where, with one
or two congenial spirits, the various
merits and dement's of the huge col
lection can be studied in quiet and lit

lery has quite large number of de-
voices each morning. In spite of the
reply of the old lady to the excuse of
younger one, But, dear, you have all

the good old days of yore, or
did people have less on hand to do that

the curiO room show. For instance,

not long ago when women in this very
land of enlightenment were spending
their days in pulling over the very ap-
propriately named crazy quilts. Look,
too, at that chest key hanging upon the
wall. It's made of ten pieces of iron, all
carefully welded together with copper.
1T looks as if anything under its care
would be perfectly safe, however, if for
no other reason than that it must have
been such bothering nuisance to I'M

force of their intellect upon it for day
and not succeed in solving the problem.
There are hundreds of odd things in the
curiO collection, and no visitor to the
art gallery should fail to spend an hour
or so in the room.
Yesterday was W. c. L. U. day, and
early in the afternoon ladies bedecked
with the white ribbon attended in large
numbers and took in the sights. They
found much to interest them, and it is
very likely that the Exposition will be
the theme for many speech upon the
return of the visitors to their homes.

the principals in little f1irtations. In
the art gallery they were pleased
with many things, but various resolu-
tons of condemnation were seen formed
vpon their lips when passing before
some of the studies of nature I'M

bers about their display in the gallery,
and OH the whole were pleasant lot of
ladies, whose presence made the old
building seem hOmelike.
In the evening the attendance was
again large one. in fact, the big show
never fails to draw well i'll the even
ings, as it is a pleasant place to pass
away the time, aside from being COM
paratively inexpensive. There has not
yet been night when the seats about
the band stand were not well filled,
which goes to prove that Mr.. Reeves

Pompeii again fell in the evening to a
large audience, and the display of fire
works was sufficiently large to please
all who attended. There remains but
one more performance of this brilliant

to make this closing night the greatest
one of all, and from the time the first
rocket ascends to the bursting of the
last shower of bombs there will be one
grand mass of flame color and flying
sparks, set off by huge mechanical set
pieces. 1t may be years before any
thing of the kind occurs again in the
Northwest, and people should take this
last opportunity of seeing the most
brilliant pYrotecnlc display that has
ever been brought to the West.

Next week will be devoted exclusively to
music as far as entertainment is concerned.
Special programmes will be given each day
by Reeves band. The work of this most eX-
cellent musical organization has been some
what interfered with by the "Pompeil'' per-
formances each evening, and their admirers
will be given an opportunity next week to
hear them at their best.
Doc the trotting dog, closes his engage

derful canine, who has seemingly human in
telligence, has made many friends during
his two weeks stay in Minneapolis, both at
the Exposition and the lobby of the hotel
where his master boarded. Doc is valua-

netted his owner exactly S., 100.
Yesterday a card labeled ISOLDE was at

gallery which has been admired by so many

indeed striking, and the work is probably the
