The weather during the past week has

SUCCESS TOLD IN FIGURES.
Attendance at n. National Export ExposL
tion on the Way Toward
Million and a Half

Philadelphia, Nov. THE growing
popularity Of the National Export eX-
position Is best attested by the increas-
ing attendance. The daily average OF
the numleI of persons who have Passeh
in at the tLrnstiles has steadily gained.
in spite of the fact that as the expOsi-
tion progressed the weather became
less favorable for excursions to the
great show. That meteorological cOndi-
tions have not seriously interfered with
the success of the enterprise Is no
doubt attributable to the fact that the
visitor who has braved the elements to
reach the exposition finds in the build
ings a warmth and cheerfulness from
which depressing exterior conditions do
not detract. Once within the home OF
the great show the visitor Is fOrgetful
of the obstacles encountered in reach
ing it. and as all who have gone away
pleased (few could have departed other
wise) have constituted an agency for
fastening visits by acQuaintances. the
growth in admissions is readily eX-
planned. Then. too. those who have
found fascination in the attractions at
the exposition, and yielded to the de-
sire for repeated visits, must be taken
into consideration in accounting for
the upward tendency of the figures
showing the daily attendance.
The record of admissions for the Al
secular days of the exposition, from
Sept. IA to Oct. 81, inclusive, offers
some interesting comparisons as show
ing the growing success of the enter
prise. The total admissions for the II
days were 1886. daily average of
1S,893h. This average, however, was
exceeded by that for October, which
was slightly more than 20,7S4.
The admissions for the last Is days
of September were 234,236. an average
of 1856. For the first 15 days Of OctO-
Der these figures climbed to 2S7 ,S6S for
admissions and 1871 as the average.
The greatest gain, however, was shown
during the last IL days of October, when
252,5 persons, an average of 22.951
each day, were within the exposition
gates. Taking the average for the lat
ter period as basis for the first five
date approximate within 100, 900 of l.
days OF November, the admissions to
100000. Carrying out the same basis OF
calculation for the remainder of the ex-
position period, the grand total Tor SO
days will not fall far short of n million
and half. about the population of
Philadelphia.
The largest attendance for any one
day was that of Saturday last, the ad-
missions numbering 1859. the great
rush occurring in the evening. when In
etefy- aisle were moving throngs of
persons, whilst the auditorium was
packed to the doors.

SHlNPlASTER TICKET CALLED IN
Exposition Management Has Slight Brush

Philadelphia. Nov. I'm the effort

Gently in danger of arrest by the secret
service officers of the government. A
ticket of this kind has been called for
by manufacturers, merchants and 9TH
ers, who would purchase them in guam
titles and distribute them among
friends or patrons. Under the present
arrangements tickets are good only on
the day of issue, and are of no use for
such distribution.
To prevent the counterfeiting Of the
new ticket the work was put into the
hands Of an engraver. who produced a
finely engraved ticket. printed on bank
note paper, on one side of which was 4
vignette of Franklin and on the other
n vignette of the late DR.. William Pep

position. Both front and back of the

corresponding to the present 80 cent
and 25 cent tickets. Both were about
the size OF the old government frac-
tional currency "shinplaster. used
after the civil war.
Special Agent McManus. OF the
treasury department. as soon as the
tickets were put on sale. served notice
that they were contrary to law and
must be withdrawn. The matter was
referred to the law officer of the treas
ury department. who held that they
were a violation of law, as they were a
stimulation Of the old paper currency.
1t was argued on behalf of the exposi-
tion that tickets of substantially
the same style were issued for the
Chicago exposition and the Midwinter
exposition at San Francisco. In answer
to this the treasury officials said
that in those cases the tickets had
been issued by the thousands before
being discovered. and 1t was deemed
inadvisable to attempt to stop them.
The exposition officials at once pro-
cured a new design. fully as difficult to
counterfeit, and to which the treasury
onicials could not object. which have
