MUSIC AT The EXPOSITION.
The Worlds Leading Bands In Afternoon
and Evening Coacsrts, Which Are
Free to All.

Philadelphia, Oct. 31.-Music of q
high order 10 promised for the free
entertainment Of visitors to the Ma
tional Export exposition. Concerts by
the worlds leading bands are given
afternoon and evening in the great
auditorium. Half hour intermissions
afford the visitor time for sight seeing
or lunching in the exposition restau-
rant or in either of three cafes on the
Esplanade. Admission to the auditor
ium Is free to all Corners. The spacious
music hall seats more than 5000 per-
sons, and evenings 1t is frequently
packed to the DOORS This week Sousa
and his band constitute the musical
attraction.
Sousa, the march king, is term ap-
piled to the great bandmaster because
OF the numerous marches which he has
composed, and which are now being
played by almost every band of note in
this country. 1t is no small honor
when bandmaster of established fame
includes In his repertoire compositions
by rival leader. But scarcely a pro-
gram Is carried out att great concert
that Sousa's compositions are not
among them. There is something abb
solutely magnetic in the method
whereby John Philip Sousa conducts
his band. His men are as If In one ac-
cord from the instant Sousa lifts his
baton. And from the moment he steps
on the platform until he lets drop his
arm 80 perfect is the discipline of
SousaHs band that not a single indi-
vidual among his players realizes hi,
own personality.
For next week the Banda Rosa,
which has been heard again and again
In all the large cities OF the United
States has been secured. Beginning
Nov. IL the superb Innes band will
begin an engagement to run for the
remainder of the exposition period.
1t has become a fad for Philadel-
phians and nearby residents to, visit the
exposition for the enjoyment of the
music, and after the afternoon and
evening concert dinner parties are the
fashion in tie exposition restaurant.
Few persons who come to Philadelphia
on shopping tours miss the oppor-
tunity to spend all the time at their
disposal at the exposition.

RICHNESS OF THE PHILIPPINES
Extension of Foreign Trade Assured Under
American Enterprise.

Philadelphia, Oct 31.-A great deal
of information of value respecting for
eign countries was impaired through
the medium of the International Com
mercial Congress at the National Ex
port exposition. Graphic word pictures
OF nations great and small were paint
ed by men direct from countries be-
yond the seas, and not little was said
about the Philippines. Interesting in
this line was the statement of John
Barrett, United States minister to
Siam, who during the course of a
speech said:
"Of the Philippines l can say that,
after travelling extensively through
them, they are the richest country in
proportion to area, in all Asia. Under
American enterprise this foreign trade
of $32,000,0 900 should be extended in
ten years to 100000 900 or $3.50 1000, 000
All foreign houses doing business in
Manila are preparing to increase their
capital and enlarge operations. With
great staple products of hemp, sugar,
tobacco, copra, rice, together with cof-
fee, spices, fruits, grains and valuable
woods, as we'll as mineral resources
of considerable value developed to
their present extent under the depress-
ing and retarding conditions of former
years, it is difficult to state what limit
can be placed on their development
with American capital and industry
The people, moreover, take kindly to
foreign products, and will buy in in
creased quantity and value as they are
given greater opportunity to sell their
own products. Railway construction
alone in the Philippines is needed,
which would involve the safe invest
ment of $50.000,000. At least 1900
miles should be built within the next
ten years."

HuMoRs OF The CONGRESS.
Many Languages Spoken in the Great Inter
national Trades Gathering.


Philadelphia, Oct. S1.-The Interna-
tional Commercial Congress, whose
sessions are held in connection with
the National Export exposition, af-
fords an interesting study. Though the
assemblage is comparatively small, the
subjects under discussion are as varied
and of such world wide Importance
that the listener Is at once impressed
with the Importance of the occasion
and the almost solemnity of the scene.
There is an air of dignity in the ses-
siOns-that is. there is vein of i'm
portance running through the delibera-
tions, though at times the sessions may
be stormy, of an excitable nature or
even humorous.
No iron clad rule was established as
to the language to be used by this fam
GUS gathering, but it was generally I'M
derstood that English would be pre-
ferred. This is contrary to the usage
followed at most international gather
ings, French being the language OF
diplomacy and courtesy. But. as
British delegate remarked, English is
the language of business.
And so it is that the sessions of this
great congress have been carried on in
the Saxon tongue. The Hindoo dele
gate has presented his ideas in that
language; the German envoy has told
his desires in English; the Frenchman
argued tariff changes In tongue he
did not know, and the Spaniard, the
last of all men to attempt English, has
reached the realms of poetry and elo-
quence in words that must have sound
ed strangely to himself This refers,
of course, to the prepared speeches and
papers, prepared days and weeks, or
maybe months, in advance of the OPEN
ing session.
The fun came-to those who were
spectators, and not the participants
when some questions came up for dis
cussion that was not on the regular
program. Take, as an instance, the
subject of an Isthmian canal. in which
all the world. and as consequence all
the delegates, are interested. The
American advocate of Panama or
Nicaraguan route presented his case.
He said something Nicaragua del
agate did not agree with, and the lat
ter, In rapid and beautiful, but forceful
Spanish, replied. The French dele
gate did not understand English, but
the Spanish argument gave him cue,
and in his own tongue, or that of Cas-
tile, he joined in the discussion. Then
the German delegate from Samoa, who
could neither speak English nor Span
ish, but knew French, laid his view be-
fore the congress. These were trying
times for the chairman, who perhaps
was not acquainted with all modern
languages. and his position was in
many instances anything but enviable.
The deliberations of the congress
were carried on in accordance with
parliamentary rules, and at times re-
called the sessions of the United States
senate or the upper body of the more
dignified state legislatures.

ELEPHANT ON A LARK
One of the Hagenback Animals at the Elk
position Subject For Temperance
Missionary Work.

Missionary Work.
Philadelphia, Oct. 31.--A very funny
incident occurred one evening last
week at the Hagenback wild animal
congress, on the National Export ex-
position Esplanade, where trained dem
liens of the jungle are seen in exhibit
lions daily, and it is worth relating, as
1t shows the wonderful sagacity of the
elephant.
Jolly" the famous trick elephant
that is particularly noted for his clev-
erness, was complacently standing in
his quarters about O'Clock, when one
of the laborers who had evidently
taken too much" staggered by, and
as he got just the other side of the
elephant his load got little too heavy.
and down he went Apparently "Jol
ly" was taking in the whole procedure,
for pretty soon, when the laborer was
sound asleep, Jolly cautiously felt
over with his trunk and went
through" the victim. Alas! there was
a bottle nearly full. With the instinct
worthy of Kentuckian, the elephant
tipped 1t up and swallowed the con-
tents. After little, one of the attend
ants was attracted by the most gro
tesque actions and hilarious noises,
which came from "Jelly's" compart-
ment. He watched him for while
and saw that he was evidently trying
to put his head between his hind legs,
and finally, after a great deal of rock
ing, swaying and trumpeting Jolly"
lay down and slept When the time
came for his performance he positively
refused to move, until some one sug-
gested that he be given drink, anu
when this was done he went out His
whole demeanor seemed tc say. What
a head l have" 1t is possibly not
generally known that Jolly" is the
elephant that his royal highness, the
Prince of Wales, rode when on tiger
hunt in India. and Jolly" Is as proud
of the fact as the prince himself.

In the afternoon he returned, saying
he was dissatisfied with the knife. He

Big Insurance on Little Woman

Philadelphia, Oct. 31-Chiquita, the
smallest woman in the world, made
application yesterday for 100000 in
surance on her life. The application
was made to the Mutual Life Insurance
company, of New York, through agents
Edward A. Reilly and R. C. Hill, of the
Philadelphia Office. Though so dimin-
utive in stature, Chiquita is perfectly
formed and proportioned, weight,
height, age and all corresponding as
correctly as in a full size person, and
there seems to be no reason why she
would not be as safe a risk as any
one. Her nearest birthday is 80, her
height rs inches and her weight II
pounds. The thousands of friends that
Chiquita has made since she has been
at the National Export exposition will
be pleased to have her secure the poll
cy applied for, which is on the endow-
ment plan, and the annual premium
$4,000 per year.

lily seek their prey, but the Hagenback
aggregation beats the average The
lions roar loudly and jump over each
other, the leopards leap as high as the
cage will permit, the panthers cry with
increasing energy, the elephant bel
lows, the sogs yelp and howl and bark
and the monkeys add their shrill notes
to the bedlam of sounds, and pande-
monium reigns. 1t is the moment
when these trained animals forget
their training, and all the savage in
stincts of their wild natures are
aroused Hunger, which will cause
man to forget his manners, show his
animal instincts. and when severe
enough make of him a savage, and
even cannibal, loosens in these beasts
their widest instincts and shows them
in all the mad restlessness of their fe-
rocious natures. So long as the trucks,
heaped with great pieces of horse flesh,
are in sight this widest of wild scenes
continues. and not until the meat has
been forked into the cages is silence
restored and the commotion ended.

ing six feet in his stockings, weighing
sos pounds, and 80 years of age, and
Chiquita, the smallest woman in the
world, 26 inches high, weight IT pounds
and entering her 30th year. Yet both
are intelligent, pleasing personages
with interesting personalities and man
ners natural and easy.
Mr.. Grimes is member of the Tioga
Wheelmen, and is himself an expert
wheelman, though the heaviest bicy-
Gle rider in the world. Beside this
giant Chiquita seems but an atom. a
sprite from Fairyland. Even with her
hair dressed high on the top of her
head, her extreme height brings her
only to level with his knee.
These two extremes met for the first
time at the National Export exposition.
There alone can they be seen. After
it is over their paths diverge, aud it is
not probable they will ever be thrown
together again. Mr. Grimes has charge
of bicycle exhibit in the Main exposi-
ton building. while Chiquita, under
the Hagenback management, gives
daily receptions at her pretty exhibit
ton hall on the Esplanade. 1t is worth
going a long way to see the giant and
the living doll strolling together along
the Midway of the exposition.

What does it profit woman if she gain

and school teachers, eager, ambitious, and

They eat insufficient food, and at irregular
hours, they allow irregularity of the wo.

result is that they become chonic invalids

for such as these, marked by the feet of
thousaeds. 1t is the use of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery for diseases of

cure so certainly follows the use of these
remedies that out of hundreds of thousands

WI Ting Fang said: THE Chinese

three districts in the Canton province.
You never see a Chinaman here from
the north or central part of China.
No men from Shanghai, for instance,
except in the diplomatic corps These
two provinces have only a population
of about one million, so that even
should all come, which is manifestly
absurd, it would not be very serious.

on the Exposition Esplanade.

Philadelphia, Oct 31.-Various esti-
mates have been made as to the cost Of

line the National Export exposition

the rounds of all the pleasure resorts
one is required to part with compare
