A BUSINESS VIEW.

The string orchestra played a waltz
after which James b. Phelan spoke as
follows:
Il was ono of the Californians in Chi
caao who were dragooned into starting the
California Exposition. Tho view that San
Francisco ought to do something In the
spirit of self-assertion and aggression Is
taken by the Californian when away.
That may not be the business view, but
it seems the correct one. We know how
much fool who has beeu sent to roam ex.
cells fool who has been kept at home.
The exhibits are ready to come. All that
is asked is that means to house them shall
be supplied"
MIR. Phelan said that the fair would be
Of general benefit. but it would be particu-
larly profitable to the great transportation
companies. the gas and the water COM
panies, and other big corporations. When
he declared that these corporations shonld
be at once told their duty in the premises
and that they should Immediately subscribe

great

reminded him of the saying that "None
but the brave deserve the fair" He said
that there were 100000 people on this
coast and u. coo, 600 in Mexico. From them
large attendance will be drawn to the
fair. Besides, the Central American States
are beginning 10 be stirred bv interest in
the Mid winter Exposition. People from
China and Japan and other Oriental coun-
tries will come this way.
There will be enough people to attend

no mosquitoes. no sweltering heat or other
unpleasant things here. A finer meal can
be had here than in any other place in the
country for the money, and a man can get
drink here when heswants to. Mr..
Wheeler said he had been talking during
the day to millionaire, who objected to
aiding the fair because of the men who
were running it,
The meeting ended with music.
The music at the two meetings were
under the direction of f. E. Schmitz, the
genial secretary of the Musicians Union.
Inside the hall there were thirty musicians,
while at the overflow there were nearly q
hundred.

even the expectations Of the fair managers.
They had engaged Metropolitan Hall for
the gathering. thinking that it might at
ford enough room. but the capacity Of the
Mechanics Pavilion would not have been
too much. The throng began gathering
early. and by o'clock the hall was full.
The aisles were densely packed. The gal
lery was a solid chunk of humanity back
to the uttermost wall. Those people who
arrived later than o'clock found it i'm
possible to push in. so thickly were men
clustered together at the top of the stair
case. Many hundreds of women entered
early and obtained seats, and many were
among those who went away before the
meeting began because of the lack of room.
The hall was prettily decorated. The
organ was concealed by an immense Amer
lean flag. Bear flags. with pictures Of
bruin and inscriptions of "Calif0rnia Re-
public" thereon, great stripes of tri-color
bunting and numerous American flags
were used in adjoining the stage. The
speakers stand and that which held the
water-pItcher were draped completely in
flags. From the secretary's desk hung
colored plan showing the location of the
proposed fair buildings. The entire horse
shoe Of the gallery was adorned with
bright bunting.
The audience surged up to the stage and
the approaches to the platform were
blocked by the time the meeting began.
The behavior of the crowd showed that it
WAS deeply interested in the purpose for
which the gathering was called. All the
expressions OF hopefnlness that the fair
would be successfully started were ap-
plauded earnestly. and the speeches were
listened to with such intense interest that
every word could be heard to the farthest
end Of the hall.
The stage was occupied by well-known
business men. many of whom had to stand
because there were not enough seats nor
chair space for all. Mrs. Foltz was distin-
guished as the only lady on the platform.

Mitchell and the Mayors secretary en-
tered. and were RECEIVED with applause.
The Mayor seated himself in the central
chair of honor.
When the orchestra concluded its grand
overture the Mayor advanced and said he
was pleased to see such large attendance
on such an occasion. The object OF the
mass-meeting was to listen to a series Of
eloquent speakers who would point out
the advantages of the forthcoming Mid
winter Fair. He would beg TO remind his
audience that they would have to listen to
great many loud speakers that night be-
fore they got through [laughterJ, and in
view OF that fact he would draw his re-
marks to a close.

WoMAN's WINNING VOICE.

Mrs. Clara 5. FOltZ was tho next speaker.
She said:
Gentlemen and ladies: Ny beautiful
sister has just played Home. Sweet
Home We cannot have homes without
business. nor business without people. nor
people without the big show. What can
woman do? She can work. She can do
here what she has done In Chicago and

a new White City in Golden Gate Park,
whose very architecture will tell of the
spirit and industry of our people. Hitler
women will come. bringing the product of
their labor from tho pappoose's basket to
paint ings, fancy work. quilting. brio. brac
and other works of art. Women of every
grade of talent will come forward with
their services. They will join to make the
Midwinter Exposition triumph. United
effort never fails. So let the people Of the
coast unite and let everybody contribute
what he has.
Every county should have its organi-
zation and so should every precinct. We
will have to pull together. The exposition
will attract the attention OF the civilized
world. Then people elsewhere will not
look at you as if you carried pistol In

BARNES ELOQUENT PLEA.

The Mayor remained standing during
the recital of the names, and afterward in
troduced w. Fl. l.. Barnes.
General Barnes said the audience Of the
evening was assembled under extraordi-
nary circum stances. The project of the
Midwinter Fair had only been suggested a
month before by some one who had wit
messed the collection Of the marvels of sci
ence and art in Chicago. 1t had appeared
as impossible rs it would be to suggest
that the stars at night should be stayed in
their course. From a single thought the
idea of the fair bad swelled rs a river rises

Oscar Lewis spoke not az an orator out
as laboring man. He said:
s"The rumor should not go abroad that
men were wanted here to work on the
Midwinter Fair. The laborers OF San
Francisco should do the work.

Craige Sharp Jr. spoke at considerable
length on the benefits to be derived by the
laboring m en- ard the property-ownersfr from
the Midwinter FAIR. The meeting closed
with a few remarks by Mr.. Raab.

CALIFORNIA; OPPORTUNITY.

A march was performed by the musicians
before r. Il. Mitchell was introduced. He
said. after referring to the eloquent voices of
the speakers Of the evening, that the voice
OF the people, too, had been heard. The
people and the press are united for
success. he contrastcd the vigor and go
aheadativeness of early days in this city
with its recent apathy. Men like Ralston
and William T. Coleman made themselves
felt in this community. The speaker said
that men Of that stamp are wanted here
now. he believed that California was
about to dress herself in royal raiment,
worthy of her place among the States.

MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS.

The History OF Music Illustrated by q
Rare Collection.
An important group of exhibits in
the department of liberal arts COM
prises music and musical instruments.
The design of the musical exhibit is to
illustrate the history and theory of
music, showing crude and curious in
struments which have led up to the
present development. There are por-
traits of great musicians, and priceless
musical scores of the past. In musical
instruments there are specimens of
those used in the earliest times. Self
vibrating instruments include tam
borines, cymbals, castanets, bells,
chimes, xylophones and music boxes
In stringed instruments there are lutes,
guitars, banjos, mandolins, harps,
zithers, dulcimers, and most interest
ing collection of the violin family, run
ming the gamut from viol and violon-
cello to the bass viol. In keyboard in
struments there is very large ex-
hibit of modern pianos, square, up
right and grand. Side by side with
this exhibit are shown the predecessors
of the piano, including the clavichord,
manichord and harpischord. Then
there is every variety of wind instru-
ment, from the flute and fageolet,
through the range of bugles, cornets
and horns, up to the organ family. in
cluding the largest pipe organs, which
are placed as exhibits in music hall and
choral hall.

Water and MILK.

Two cultured Detroit girls were at a
country house for month, kept by an
honest old farmer, and just after sup
per they sat down to talk over their
pleasant surroundings.
Just think" said one, what lovely
milk that was Nice and rich, and SO
much better than that blue stuff we
get in town.
Its too good to last, I'm afraid, .
responded the older one.

they went slowly and sadly into the
house expecting to find blue milk for
breakfast.-Detroit Free Press.

IN their leisurely fashion they finally
accomplished it, and are now quite
comfortable and contented in their
little dove-cotes of houses.
Nearly as odd as the houses of the
diminutive Javanese are the huts of the
F1]ians, close by on the opposite side of
the Plaisance. Strongly resembling
scooped-out straw stacks of an ancient
date, they nevertheless afford the in
habitants ample protection from all
kinds OF weather. This is all that is
required of them, as the highest con-
ception of comfort of which these peo-
pie are capable is full stomach and a
place to crawl into and sleep.
We might go on and enumerate the
different styles of architecture in vogue
among the civilized nations, but lack
OF space will not permit. Suffice it to
say that there is hardly characteristic
architecture in the world that is not
represented in our great White City.
And not only the buildings are shown,
but the ininutest details of everyday
life are faithfully portrayed, so that a
few hours spent among the villages of
the fair will afford about as much
knowledge of the different countries as
would a complete tour of the world.

THE WORK OF sAvAoEs.
Many Queer Things In tho Australian m
hibIt,

Interesting, though largely ''photo-
graphic" is the Australian collective
exhibit in the Anthropological building.
Having joined forces with the British
South Sea island possessions, many GU
rious native implements are shown In
laid bowls, modelled in curious design,
combs, idols, hair. pins, paddles and in
laid wooden spears, with one thousand
other odds and ends, and photographs
bewildering make up the collection.
Although chiefly the work of Gamma
balistic tribes, some beautiful bits of
decorative wood and pearl show the
artistic in the savage; and, what is
more, the Illawarra tribe from New
South Wales has an artist whose paint
ings are on exhibition and highly
valued. His name was Mickey" and
he was the shining light of the tribe.
Mickey" wasn't always an artist For
many years he fought and battled with
opposing tribes, but from exposure
rheumatism set into his joints and he
was unable to walk. He lay around his
hut unable to move, and realizing that
his days were nearly over he gave up
all hope of ever again throwing the
friendly boomerang in warfare, and de-
cided to make a name for himself and
to prove to the world that he was not
an ordinary savage.
So he drew pictures of fishes in the
water, boats sailing, and trees-in fact,
made pictures of his own native heath.
Viewed from an artists standpoint
they are. not in harmony with the mod
ern French ideas, but as savage ex-
preston of art are interesting and show
great knowledge of form. mickey" is
dead now, but he has accomplished his
ideal and we know he rests in the
realm of the great. Mr.. Bowman, the
superintendent of the exhibit, says he
would speak to no one while at work,
but kept away from the tribe, and
when his picture was finished would
call the chiofs and have grand dance.
Mickey" was also "Duk- Duk," and
of course on that account was much re-
spected by the cannibals all over the
islands.
The Duk-Duk is secret society on
the island of Tareyn and is strictly
tabu So strict are the rules of the Or
ganization that should an uninitiated
boy or woman chance upon the island
he or she would be instantly killed or
beaten and tortured to death The be-
lief of the islanders is that the Duk-
Duk are devils, and as they carry bones
around their neck which when shaken
make great rattle, the superstition is
that the Duk-Duk's bones are not in
the body, but outside, and they shake
In the wind. Should a Duk- Duk visit
another island sure death would befall
the chief of the island visited. The
system of Duk- Duk has lodges all over
the island, and Mr.. Bowman says that
they are organized purely for the pur-
pose OF promoting cannibalism and
preventing the white man from civil.
izlng and instructing them.
