THE NEW PIPE ORGAN ARRIVES

st. Johns Episcopal Church Now Has One
of the Best in the State.
The new pipe organ for st. Johns
Episcopal Church was received from
the factory yesterday, and is being
placed in the eastern alcove OF the
church, next to chancel, under the skill
full direction of A. Hillgreen, an expert
mechanic, who came from the manufac.
tory to place the organ.
This grand instrument, which ia one
of the latest modern achievements in
organ building, was made by the Carl
Barckhoff Church Organ Company, of
Salem, Ohio, and cost about $4,000
There is an organ similar to this at the
Worlds Fair and one also in the Con-
servatory of Music at Cincinnati 1t is
superior to any organ in Virginia with,
perhaps, the exception OF one or two at
Norfolk. which it equals.
1t is q two-manuel instrument with
eigth stops in the great organ, nine in
the veil and two in the pedal; has
three couplers operated by pneumatic
pistons, is furnished with foot piano
pedals and contains 1,050 pipes. The
bellows will be arranged to be run with
either water or electricity as a motive
power or it can be operated by hand.
The case is OF highly polished antique
oak and the front pipes are decorated
in raised figures and gold, making it
not only one of the best, but one of the
most beautiful instruments in the
country.
Although it will not be entirely fin
ished Mr. Hillgreen thinks it can be
used next Sunday The choir of St.
Johns has recently been strengthened
and in a short time will give a public
recital.

THE WORLDS FAIR.

President II. N. Higinbotham has
issued the following statement con-
corning the fair:
To the Public: Because of many
Misrepresentation and misstate-
ments relative to exposition man
agement and affairs being in eircu-
lation through the press and otherwise,
both IN this country and abroad, and
in reply to many letters of inquiry or
complaint touching the same matters,
il seems advisable that some official
statement regarding them should be
made to the public. Therefore re-
spectfully ask that the widest publicity
be given to the following facts:

arose from the fact that hygeia water can also

3. Ample provisions for seating will be made
without charge.
4. About l,50) toilet rooms and closets will

number in proportion to the estimated at
tend lnce as his been provided in any ex-
position In addition to these there will also
be nearly an equal number OF lavatories and
toilet rooms OF costly and handsome char
acter as exhibits for the use of which charge
OF five cents will be made.
5. The admission fee OF fifty cents will en-.
title the visitor to and enter al the exposi-
tion buildings, inspect the exhibits, and, in
short, TO see everything within the exposition

Currew StilI Rugs.

In some of the New England towns
and villages it is still customary to
ring church or factory bell at 9
O'Clock at night, and no further back
than war times it was a general prac-
tice in cities of over $4,000 people.
This custom perpetuates the curfew
(couvre feu, cover fire) of William
the conqueror's time, when church
bells were rung to notify the people
that it was time to bank the fires and
put out the lights. There is q strong
New England element in Brooklyn,
and it may be owing to this fact that
the practice has been maintained in
the neighboring city of ringing the
city hall bell at 9 o'clock every
night. 1t is a good thing on some ac-
counts because 1T enables the resi-
dents of the city to set their clocks
and watches.

Cheret is an artist in his way, which
is the bill posters way. He introduced
to the Parisians the artistic poster full
of color and of exquisite drawing. and
it became success at once. This tri-
umph is due to his excellent taste.
Realizing the destination of his works,
he has always forced the note of his
color, that it might tell against the
distraction of busting crowd. With
in the narrow limits of room his reds
and yellows, his blues and pinks, might
appear strident; but he has mastered
the craft of open-air decoration, and
his "loudest" design appears merely
gay when it is properly placed. AS he
is conscious of his effects, 80 also he
understands the limits of TYPOGRAPHY
and his drawings are always perfectly
adapted for reproduction. He
has portrayed the impish Perriot, the
merry harlequin, the gayly-shod colum-
bine with extraordinary spirit and
harmony. His yellow ladies', with
their fans, their cymbals, or their nose
gays, are perpetual fascination. How

Cairo. They came to occupy the
Egyptian city which for year had
been in course of construction at the
fair grounds. A street in Calo is
faithfully reproduced IN every particu-
lar, including the theater and hotel.
The Egyptians are 14S in number,
thirty-two OF them being women, who
have thirteen children to look after.
The mazZeen priest, who will climb up
into the minaret and cry out the first
Mohammcdan prayer ever heard in
America, is patriarchal looking man,
with loose flowing robes and long
whisl1ers. His name is Ali Ali Arab.
Accompanying the party is still an
other notable character-Khadel NADIA
the famous conjUror of Egypt, who
swallows swords as long as rake ham
die and makes flowers and plants
spring from bare floors. During the
voyage to America n tall Egyptian
swordsman of the name of Saycd Meh-
rem Effendi fell violently in love with
Miss Biul FL Nour, and if their plans
are carried out they will be married by
the old priest in a f ew days.
The men wear flowing coats of blue
or red or yellow silk, thrown back at
the chest to display vestings of the
hues of the rainbow. Some of the men
are musicians composing an Egyptian
band. They have instruments like
drums, flutes, clarinets, tom-tOms and
mandolins Others are dancers. They
are easily distinguish because
of their garments, which are looser
and brighter of hue than the
robes of their companions. A
few are magicians clothed in bright
