is still in the city and attended the con-
gress of physicians. MRS. Waggoner and
Bessie are also said to be here and
nicely located. Mrs. Holley, Mrs. Will

the beauties and wonders of the fair.
They are domiciled at the Woman's and
at the Family dormitory and recommend
it to others who may come. Col.
Thompson and Mrs. Charley Thompson
are also here. The colonel still enjoys
the good things Of earth, but sometimes
suggests: Don't let's go, l am too old

late Donald Macduf of Tonnagreur,
Pertty.Shire, Scotland. Mr.. Cameron

to Europe, Miss Efie Stewart, who came
direct from a brilliant season with the
Carl Rosa Opera company, of London,
to fulfill a Worlds Fair date at the
Trocadero, following which she returns
to the same organization for next winter.
Miss Stewart is a native of Cleveland,
Ohio, who for the past FIVE years has
sung in oratorio, concert and opera in
Europe, and has built for herself a repu-
tation quite out of the ordinary in the
musical field.

The marvellous Won Bulow band has
won a popular victory wei the best
