neighbor took out the dead man watch
and found that it was still running, and
that il indicated five minutes 10 ten. In

nothing about She admitted going to
Wright's house She then broke down
and sobbed violently, and the prosecut
ing attorney excused her.

Electricity and electrical appliances
are TO receive such attention as to
make this one feature of the Pan

tacular uses OF electricity In illuminat-

light and telephone. The wonderful
labor saving qualities of electricity
have revolutionized the production of
many articles of merchandise within
the past decade. This phase of en-
ployment of the electric fluid will form
most pleasant study for those who
are interested In the newest of the
sciences. and such study as will only

thus afforded viii be a notable feature
of the Exposition. Prominent among
the organizations engaged is Sousa's
Band, which is known wherever there
are lovers of music and whose sue
cess in the rendition of military music
has been remarkable.
The most notable achievement in the
history of international events was per-
haps the triumphal tour made by Sou
ga and his band through Europe, ex-
tending from April to September. 1890.
II was % years since an American
band had been heard on the European

ton.

Band has been engaged TO give con-
certs during the Exposition.
Fanciuillfs Seventy-first Regiment
Band of New York has been engaged
for series of concerts during the sea-
son. This band has also a great repu-
tation for its rendition of military mu-
sic. and it followed Sousa's Band in the
concerts at Manhattan Beach.
Canada win be represented by sever
al bands. among them the famous Thir-
teenth Regiment Band of Hamilton,
which is the crack band music organi-
cation of lower Canada.
The Elgin Band of Elgin. Ills, which
stands very high in that state, has also
been engaged.
Another well known band is the Car
Isle Indian Band. which made great
hit in Washington and New York City.

tillery of Boston made their recent not
able tour In Europe. they were accom-
panied by the Salem (Mass) Cadet

success of the tour. This band will al
so be heard at the Pan-American Expo
sition.

cred by many the best in Chicago, will
