Another week will witness the close of
the Pittsburg Exposition for the season
OF 1889. 1t has been a season Of continued
triumph thus far and the indications are
| that the closing week will witness even
greater enthusiasm and public interest
! than has ever been manifested at the big
I hutumnal show. Good music and worthy
attractions in the line Of exhibits are the
elements Of success OF an enterprise OF
! this character and these the Pittsbnrg Ex-
position has had in abundance this season.
With bands like those of Sousa and God
frey and the celebrated Damrosch orches-
ira, the patrons Of the Pittsburg show
have enjoyed feast OF music such as
they never heard before. The season
closes with Frederick n. Innes and his
celebrated concert band OF 80 musicians,
who come here from st. Louis, where
they were greeted daily by thousands Of
people at the Exposition in that city.

miral Dewey Will visit the Pittsburg Ex-
position the fore part OF the week on his

senator will probably accompany him to

old friends and the companions Of his
youth up in Vermont. Definite informa-
ton concerning his prospective visit to
the Exposition will be furnished later on.
Should Admiral Dewey accept the invita-
tion extended him the management will
make elaborate preparations for his recep-
ton at the Exposition.

16 to % This machine Is the wonder of
the age and there have. perhaps, been
more inquiries about 1t at the Exposition
than about any other invention or me-
chanical contrivance ever placed on exhl-
bition.
Other features OF the big Exposition
during the closing week will be the cele-
brated Cabaret de la Mort" or as trans
lated, The House of the Dead, which

transforming of a human form Of flesh
and blood into a skeleton and then bring
