BANDS FOR PAN-AMERICAN.
Their Music Will BE a Great Feature
of the Exposition Mt Buffalo.


Arrangements have already been
made for the appearance at-the Pam
American Exposition Of some OF the
most famous bands Of the American
Continent. Throughout the season,
from May to Nov. 1, concerts will be
given daily in various parts Of the E1-
position grounds by these bands, and
the variety Of musical entertainment
thus afforded will be q 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
sa and his band through Europe, e1'
tending from April to September, 1900.
1t was 22 years since an American
band had been heard on the European
Continent, and so emphatic was the
success of the American conductor and
composer that the tour became series
of ovations throughout France, Ger
many, Belgium and Holland. 1t was
the official band at the Paris Exposi..
ton.
The Mexican Government Mounted
Band has been engaged to give con-
certs during the Exposition.
Fanciuilli's Seventy-frst Regiment
Band Of New York has been engaged
for series Of concerts during the sea-
son. This band has also great repu-
tation for its rendition Of military mu-
sic, and it followed Sousa's Band In the
concerts at Manhattan Beach.
Canada will be represented by sever
al bands, among them the famous Thir-
teenth Regiment Band Of Hamilton,
which is the crack band music organi-
zation 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 a great
hit in Washington and New York City.
When the Ancient and Honorable Ar
tillery of Boston made their recent not
able tour In Europe, they were accom-
panied by the Salem (Iass) Cadet
Band, which contributed much to the
success Of the tour This band will al
so be heard at the PAM American Expo
sition.
The Brooks Chicago Marine Band, E.
B. Brooks conductor, which Is consld-
cred by many the best In Chicago, will
be heard.
Another band engaged is the Ithaca
Band Of Ithaca, \. Y, which Is backed

lures of the Exposition.
Horticulture, vlticulture and foricul-
ture are linked together in one great
class. In the midst Of country of
orchards and vineyards the Pan-Amer-
lean Exposition will have abundant
material close Mt hand and Of the finest
quality from which to make an exhibit
worthy of the great event. The eXten-
sive floral decorations Of the grounds
constitute rich display in Horticulture,
and several acres, including hundreds
of beds, are devoted to the exhibits
made by leading florists Of the country.
Flowers in profusion will welcome the
earliest visitors and breathe out their
fragrance and display their incompara,
BILE beauty the season through. Thou
sands Of trees and shrubs flourish
throughout the grounds. Double rows
of thrifty trees surround the principal
buildings. Foliage and flowers there
will be In great profusion. In the hor-
ticultural establishment Of the grounds
the Pan-American will far surpass the
efforts of all former expositlons.
In the handsome and commodious
Horticultural Building all the popular
fruits of the different countries repre-.
sented In the Pan-American EXposi'
ton will be displayed. With suitable
refrlgerating room upon the grounds, 1t
will be possible for the management to
make a daily fresh display of fruit,
Throughout the term Of the Exposi'
tion, when certain fruits are at their
best, special displays will be made of
certain varieties. The exhibit from
southern California will be particularly
large, and New York and other states
will be represented befittingly. Bottled
productions will also have place here
the wine growers Of the Chautauqua
central New York and Hudson river re-
glons having applied for space for ex'
tensIye exhibits. The opportunity fol
q timely display Of choice native fruits
will be improved. Dried and preserved
fruits will be exhibited here. Articles
and appliances used In horticulture
will also be shown in this division.
The exhibits of nursery stock, includ
ing orchard and ornamental trees
shrubs and evergreens, will be unques
tionably among the finest, If not the
finest, ever made. The most prominent
nurserymen in the country have inter
ested themselves and will aim to outdc
any former show Of the kind. No less
interest is taken by the leading florists
who are arranging exceptionally fine
displays. Many large beds Of flowers
were planted some months ago, and
they will aid In beautifying the scene
from the early days Of the Exposition.

WHEN TWO MAKE ONE.
The Twins, the Confident Mother and
the Astute Conductor.

The Twins, the Confident Mother and
the Astute Conductor.
"Fares," demanded the Jefferson ave-
nue. car conductor.
The tall, thin woman handed out 8
cents for herself and two youngsters.
"Three cents more, please" reminded
the conductor.
"They are twins" she explained,
land only equal to one child"
The conductor scratched his head
and tried to remember his instructions.
Evidently he recollected nothing gov
erning twins; but, being something Of
philosopher, he pondered and said:
Twins are out of the ordinary, there
fore singular. Perhaps you're right,
and yet you spoke Of the twins as
they That's plural" and he gazed
around triumphantly.
The fat man nodded. He was bach
elor and detested children.
NO" spoke up the comical man; "she
is right. They have only one birthday
between them. If they equaled two
children, they would have two birth
days"
II guess that's So" acquiesced the
conductor. Anyway I'll look 1t up"
"They take up two Seats" growled
the fat man.
The conductor paused AMI forgot to
hand back 5 cents change. Say" at
last he broke out, whats their

"Wilbur and Marie" replied the
mother pertly, failing to see the Delvet
trap she was walking into.
Huh! Boy and girl, eh? Well, I'll
have to have another fare. You can
figure on boy twins equaling one boy,
but half boy and half girl don't add

She paid.

man in admiration. "He ought to be

Perhaps nothing has been more talk
ed about than the color scheme Of the
Pan-American. 1t Mas a daring thing
to attempt to array in colors the ex-
tensive buildings Of this Exposition, for
scarcely any precedent existed for such
an undertaking, and to attempt 1t and
fail would be disastrous indeed. It
was out Of the question to duplicate the
White City at Chicago. Something abb
solutely new must be devised for the
Pan-American at Buffalo. Happily the
Spanish renaissance architecture fur
nished the hint for the solution of this
problem, and now that it has been
solved and the color scheme Is seen to
be so well adapted to the purposes OF

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvoR MEETING

Conference of Importance--Rev. MT.
 Eberman Spoke.
 The Christian Endeavor leaders of the city had an important conference in the United church chapel last night. They had as their especial guest Rev. Clarence E. Eberman field secretary of the United Society of Christian Endeav- or. From until o'clock only pastors of the several churches including Rev. George Foster Prentiss, of Davenport church, Rev. Dr. Watson L. Phillips, of the Church of the Redeemer, Rev. W. J. Mutch, of Howard avenue Congrega- tional church. Rev. Dr. F. A. M. Brown, of the First Presbyterian church, Rev. l Alexander F. Irvine, of the Second Con- gregational church, Rev. Andrew Peter son, of the Swedish Congrega tional church, and a few of the workers were present. At this meeting matters of | interest, as to the different ways of &C., complishing the one common purpose, were discussed. Rev. MT. Eberman gave a short talk which will be of valu- able assistance.
 The general meeting was held at o'clock, and it was very well attended and full of interest. After prayer and singing Rev. George Foster Prentiss who is president of the city society, in- troduced Rev. Dr. Eberman, who made the principal address of the evening. His subject was "The New Mission of Christian Endeavor." He spoke at some length and gave many new and original ideas for the furtherance of the work of the Christian Endeavorers, not alone in this city, but everywhere. Dr. Eberman has been in the ministry for a number of years, and during a por- tion of the time has been identified with one of the principal churches in Pennsylvania. Since 1898 he has been president of the Pennsylvania Christian Endeavor society.
 He was appointed to his present po- sition the early part of this year and has since then been singularly success ful, being eminently fitted for the duties of field secretary.
 MT Eberman was one of the speak CTS at the state convention of Chris | tian Endeavor at Danbury last week, l coming from his campaign in Canada. He speaks in six of the principal cities of Connecticut during this week, and | will then start on a western tour, and | it will be long time before the people | of New Haven will have the opportuni- | ty to hear him again.

HISTORICAL RELICS.
Old English Mlllstones Brought to
 Light in Old Saybrook

Old English Millstones Brought to
 Light in Old saybrook.
 One of Connecticuts most interesting historical relics of the early settlement
 of the state, says the Hartford Courant.
 has recently been brought to light in Saybrook after lying unnoticed for
 nearly one hundred years. It consists
 of the old English stones used in Lion
 Gardeners windmill, which was erect
 ed about 1636 and stood for one hun
 dred and seventy-f1ve years These
 stones were worked out by hand and
 brought to this country as ballast. | They are five feet in diameter and the l upper stone eight inches thick, the low CT one being seven inches thick. It I has been estimated that they weigh about two tons apiece.
 No record can be found of the ap- pearance of the mill but it was prob ably after the pattern of the old Dutch mindmills, having four enormous fans, great leverage being required to move stones of this size. Tradition has it that on several occasions when the mill was in operation attacks were made upon it by Indians and a strong garri- son was always required to defend it.
 The stones are cut out of solid gran ite and are sharp and In good cutting condition. A remarkable feature Is the state of the two iron bands surrounding the upper stone. Although they have been exposed to the weather for yearsN they are In an excellent state of preser- vation and aside from little surface rust are as good as new. The work of placing these hands upon the stones reached such a high degree of perfec- tion that no one has been able to ascer- tain where the ends of the band were welded together The old mill was erected on what Is now the main thor oughfare to Saybrook Point and about three quarters of mile from the site of the old fort The stones have been mounted about five feet in front of the original foundation, on which the mill was built and the following inscription placed behind them:
 These old English stones are the last relic of Lion Gardners windmill, which | he built on this spot about 1636-7, and | which stood for one hundred and sev- | enty-tlve years.
