The merchant looked around, and
discovered that he was IN an express
office. He will look at the illumina-
tipns the next time from a window.
The city authorities have for the first
time volunteered to add little 10 the
fall attractions. Coming into st. Louis
from the West, every train passes un-
der seven big iron bridges across the
Mil Creek Valley. Hereafter all these
bridges will be illuminated with coli
ured lights az night, and visitors Will
thus receive a brilliant welcome be-
fore they get Off the cars. Then, from
the depot all the way mp % their ho-
tells. they will pass between the lines
Of the street Examinations. which flash
out before the first evening train gets
to the city.
The bicycle dealers Of the city say
that over five thousand pconle hero
ride wheels. Two thousand of these
are active wheelmcn, that Is, they ride
every day. and are constantly doing
something 10 increase the number Of
cyclists. They are arranging now for
a street parade during September. The
wheels will be hung with lanterns and
many Of them win carry floats with
various devices. There has been only
one other illuminated street parade OF
whcclmcn In the country. That was
here, several years ago, and II ex-
cited the widest interest because OF It's
novelty and pi, 'uresqucncss. The
route of the parade is TO be over the
smooth streets In the residence part
OF the city, and the whcelmcn will all
dismount opposite the Exposition
building.
The theatrical season In the city
opened last week, and each OF the
seven houses, 10 say nothing Of the
dime museums, Is drawing well. The
/ new German theater has begun It's
hrst season. This thcater was COM
pletcd during the summer, and Is OPP
positc the Exposition building. II Is
endowed by the wealthy German res
idcnts Of the city and has stock com
pany playing. During the season, the
pest Herman actors, ms they finish
their engagements in New York, will
be brought here TO play. Except New
york. there Is no such provision for
tho encouragement OF the German
drama elsewhere I'm the United States.
