ST.. Lou1s. oSt ), lSVs-The death Of

reavement by the people Of St. Louis.
He was doubtless one of the greatest
bandmasters Of the world. No other
musical director has ever tried to take
with him on tour band of the size
he had at the exposition. There are
l0l men in it, every one Of them nu-
sicians who command large salaries
The band will remain with the expo
sition till the close Of the season, di-
rected By Sergeant Charles W. Freud
envoll, who has been leading with
Gilmore for sixteen years The organ
ization has been such a financial as
well as musical success that it will
probably not break up, and the chances
are that 1t win supply the exposition
music next year, as contracted FOR by
the late Col. Gilmore.
The great week Of the fall festivities
draws near. The city is crowded with
visitors, and the scenes on the streets
on the nights of the illumination are
most interesting Every Thursday here

rows of lights, and the beautiful

fair, the biggest thing of the kind in
the West, will open Oct. 3 and last till
the end of that week. The Thursday

hundred thousand people go out to the

The seven principal theatres of the
city have suspended their free lists,

bic among the companies to get booked
in ST Louis for the last week in Sept,
and the first one in Oct, and they are
willing to offer the theatres high
premiums for the privilege. None but
the very best of companies can afford
TO pay the theatres the rates they de-

New nodel Coz velret street coat..

New Model Tor velvet street Coats
Among the styles for cool-weather
wraps is the model which shows a
short front with wide revers, much
like the very popular Eton jacket of
the summer, but instead OF the short,
unseamed back which does not reach
the waist line there are long directoire
coat-tails that fall to the skirt hem A
black velvet wrap made in this fashion
is good investment, for it has an ele-
giant effect with comparatively little
outlay, as the short open fronts can be
made of one single breadth of velvet,
provided it is wide, and black velvet
goes well with every sort and color of
skirt. Ribbed vests are also used for
these coats-plain or in the popular
shadow effects produced by the under
weaving of a contrasting color.
