The great Pittsburgh Exposition, viii
inaugurate the Fifth Annual Exhibition
amid the booming of cannon, music Of
bands and general enthusiasm on Wednes-
day, September Sth, at 2. NJ.
The opening of the Exposition and the
festivities attending it is q recognized
feature with the citizens of Pittsburgh
and surrounding cities. The attractions
provided by the management have always
been of the best obtainable, and this
season extraordinary efforts have been
made to surpass all former attractions.
The magnificent band Of Ellis Brooks,
Of New York, will be on hand at the
opening, and Black Patti, the famous
colored singer, will begin an engagement
at the same time, remaining for the first
ten days. She viii be followed by the
great Salchi, probably the greatest dra-
matte cOntraltO in the world. Then
comes the unrivaled GilmOre's Band,
which has beyond question, played to
larger and more appreciative audiences
than any other military band IN the
country. This superb organization viii
remain for four weeks, and, it Is safe to
say, will meet with special favor, from the
hundreds of thousands of people who
visit the Exposition.
Madame Amalia Materna, the un-
equaled German singer, who has no rival
and who was chosen by Wagner himself
to interpret his matehless compositions
at Bayreuth and elsewhere, has been Sc
cured AT great expense, for the entertain
ment of the patrons of the Exposition.
Miss Lillian Blauyelt from the Royal
Opera House, BRUSSELS, and late Prima
Donna of the DamrOsch Orchestra of
New York, viii give a series of twelve
concerts. This beautiful and accom-
pllshed artist cannot fail TO please all
lovers of music.
SignOr Campanini, the incompatible
tenor, whose fame is world wide, who
has for years been singing with Adelina
Patti, has been secured for one week.
Ii Is apparent 70 everyone who has the
slightest knowledge of music, that il Is
impossible 20 present attractions of
higher order While these artists have
always demanded and received immense
salaries, the Exposition las made II pos
sible for them TO be heard al regular
Exposition prices, and no change viii be
made in this respect The Exposition
management believes that the increased
attendance at the concerts, will enable II
to stand the increased expense incurred.
The season of Fall Festivities win open
under the most favorable auspices, and
while thousands of our people may not
be able 10 visit Chicago and the Worlds
Fair, owing 10 the great expense, they
may feel assured that visit to the Pitts
bureh Exposition viii afford them no end
Of pleasure. As usual the railroads viii
make special rates to patrons who may
wish to visit Pittsburgh and its magnificent
Exposition, and take in the many good
things provided for their pleasure and
enjoyment Tho entire Exposition viii
be a series Of surprises, new music, new
exhibits, and novelty everywhere.

that ont of the 5000 list $3.50 volumes
have been received. These looks were
all sent to the Library school at Albany
and there made ready for exhibition
at the exposition This matter of
preparation was a difficult one. The
idea was TO catalogue them prop
erly, as would be done in = complete
running library. There are, however,
many systems of cataloguing books,
and the problem of which system 70
adopt presented itself. It was finally
decided to use oaly the decimal and
the expansive systems, as being the
more popular. Realizing that many
thousands of people who would be in
terested in this feature OF the fair
would be unable TO attend the fair. the
committee resolved upon the publiea-
tion OF 10000 catalogues containing the
complete 5000 list.
THESE catalogues are TO be mailed
wherever the possibility Of a new IL
brary can be heard of, and il viii be so
managed that any committee can Sc
lect such books as they desire, feeling
sure that they cannot go astray in
choosing from it. There are a certain
number of works on history; so many
on travel, and many OF art and science,
and so on. and the published catalogue
and numbers win only have TO be fol-
lowed. thus doing all the difficult work
committee ordinarily finds in this con-
nectiOn. The idea is an admirable one,
and has been carried out to perfec-
tion.
The $500 volumes received are all
on exhibition at the fair properly
shelved. numbered and classified. Ac-
eording to arrangements made with the
publishers. the books viii all be given
to the Library school. Albany, together
with the contribution from individual

One of the strongest arguments in
favor Of holding a worlds fair
at all in any part of the globe IL
its grand educational advantages
In all the oratory delivered by those
in favor Of the Sunday opening %
the Columbian exposition of 1898 the
most foreible and in fact about the
only eogent argument was that the
fair, being such gigantic school and
offering such superb advantages in the
way of education, should be throw--
open 10 the masses as freely as pos
sible.
It only seems natural that, with this
grand idea so prominent, an educa-
tional exhibit would form very i'm
portant part of the Columbian exposi-
ton. Such an exhibit there is, located
In the northwest corner Of the Govern
ment building. The space occupied is
not extensive, nor has it been given
such position as its importance de
serves, and yet the number of visitors
and the general Interest it attracts are
surprising.
The bureau of education at Wash

the aid of a committee from the
