chicago. May -Montana's famous
..#4 silver statue of Justice" was un-
...d in the Mines and Mining building
to-day II is the statue for which Miss
s.l Rchan, the actress, sat as the model.
.unveilingo of the statue was the feature
o-rle afternoon at the White city. While
tf.. crowd was assem- bling the Cincinnati
hand played national airs The opening
address was made by Mai. Martin Magin-
,f, of Montana, who spoke in glowing
terms of the brilliant future before that
state. When he had finished Mrs.
Richards, wifeOf the governorof Montana,
stepped forward little from the crowd
and taking up a small sill1en cord, gaveit
a Gentle pull. The stars and stripes,
which had embodied the statue, fell away,
exposing it for the first time to
the public gaze. The crowd cheered
wildly, while the band played
America When the applause had died
away j. NJ. Quinn, editor of the Butte
Miner. made the closing address At
the close Of the exercises the Montana
commissioners entertained their friends
and a large number of exposition officials
and representatives of foreign nations at
luncheon. The total weight of the statue
is 800 pounds, and it rests on a pedestal
of solid gold taken from the Spotted
Horse mines. In hight the statue stands
feet inches; with the pedestal it is -
feet high. Miss Rehan had been expected
bvthe crowd, but she was safe downtown,
where she chose to remain rather than be
the target for the curious Miss Rehan
told Mai. Bickford of Montana that she
would reserve her trip to the fair for
"less PERSONAL time, and come some day
to see herself in silver.
A REMARKABLE ORCHESTRA.
A Javanese orchestra is thing to be
wondered at. Nothing like it can be seen
in the Midway plaisance, says the Chi
Cago Record. it consists of twenty-four
pieces, and the names by which some of
them are called would tax the powers of
loquaciOus American commercial trav-
err for a music instrument house. Here
are some of them: Dienglonglentik, bO-
udnggedch, sarongpekinlentik and ken
Ongpaninga
The peculiar thing about the orchestra
is that it has only one wind instrument
ana one string instrument. The string
instrument is a 2-stringed violin and is
played by the leader, who sits in the cen
ter Of the first stage. The violin sits up
right in a frame and is played like cello.
The wind instrument is a small bamboo
pipe, which makes a sound not unlike a
flute The other pieces are gongs and
metal and wood Xenophones. The gongs
range from huge copper disks, four feet
in diameter, down to- brass affairs the
size of a saucer They are placed on blue
and gilt frames and are struck with soft
hammers
After running the gauntlet of barbara
dsCord that passes for music in most of
the plaisance theaters it is a pleasure to
hear the harmony of the Javauese band
with its suggestion of soft chimes. The
deep-tOned gongs, the purlfng notes of the
Instruments that carry the upper notes,
produce a combination of unexpected
sweetness. Even the ardent worshiper
of WagnerrWould enjoy the grave-faced
musicians and their productions. The
first pie2eon the rehearsal programme bore
an upronounceable title and a strange re
sgmblance to the German masters die
Walkuren Ii has been played in Java for
nearly 400 years, and is one of the best
compositions by native composers.
THE KARMA OF THEosoPHY.
The thoosophists are always talking of
Karma. If you drop in at one of their
mcctingsg-or visit the Chicago headquar-
ters in the day time, youare given a leahet
headed, "Karma as a Cure for Trouble
When you read about Karma you find that
it is stateof mind, writes Augusta Pres
Cott of the Pittsburg Dispatch. Karma
teaches you that your lOtin life is as good
as YOU deserve. Karma tells you that
when you were alive in life, previous to
this one, You were not as good as you
should have been, and consequently you
are suffering for it now. But karma also
tells YOU that if you are very good and
bear Your discomforts bravely, and even
happily YOU will have everything in the
next world which you lack in this.
Fancy yourself having conversation
with Karma hero in Chicago. If you are
Ike the average tourist who is here to
ENJOY the fair on average means, Karma
would say to you:
Never mind if the cars are crowded so that
You cannot get a seat. You probably made
others stand when you were alive in the pre-
Vous life, and this is as good as you deserve.
Or Karma would say:
BE happy with the sandwich you are eating
Tor your lunch 1t has no butter upon 1t, that
Is true. 1t is no larger than a souvenir dol
lar. IL cost you 40 cents. and the plate upon
which you are eating it was 10 cents extra.
But never mind that Be happy! When you
We're alive before you were no doubt very dis
agreeable to hungry people, and the world
IaI 9and wen Is yonr reward But ne CAIN
thoke 1t dOwni In the next life you shall
nave Vienna bread, giltedged butter tine
emma and cup OF crystal water. Drink mud
now ANA be happy tasting the crystal water IN
your mind 5 eye for the present.
With these precepts laid down before
You, you can not help seeing that theosO-
ply has its merits and that Karma is a
very comfortable thing to have in the
house.
PANG MAKES MASH
In the Chinese theater in Midway
piaisance is a ruby-faced Chinaman.
Pang-the name of the Chinaman chrome
Is Pang-brought his complexion wite
nm. He is lady for the time being and
ne wears a wig parted in the middle to
snow he is lady. His pig tail is cOiled
out of sight behind the wig. He furthers
lhe Illusion by putting roses behind his
ears and going through his lines in an
upper-case falsetto. In China they abol-
lshed actresses by law some years ago.
In Justice to the pseudo lady it must be
Sdld that Pang is the prettiest Chinaman
When he dons his complexion that ever

Heinen, waiter in the German beer gar
u'n. Carl has but recently arrived in
inns country. To him Pang was fair
angel OF the gentler sex, and as for the
complexion he was safe that it was writ
with natures own cunning hand Carl
VISITED the theater a week ago. He has
VISITED it likewise ever since. In China
