The talk OF the town these days at
the new Pittsburg Exposition are the
many novel and highly interesting at
fractions, foremost among these being
the Cinematograph with its marvellous
Mckinley pictures in life-like motion.
In the one President Mckinley is ad-
dressing the crowd at the PaD~Ameri-
can Exposition in Buffalo twenty-four
hours before he was shot down by the
assassin. Having escorted Mrs. Nc
kinlcy to her seat at his left, he adjusts
his eye-glasses, bows graciousy TO the
officials behind him, and to the throngs
Immediately before him, then arises to
make his address Every movement Is
SO realistic that the Impression Of the
whole is one never to be forgotten.
Pathetic in the extreme is the second
picture representing scenes from the
funeral at Can On. In one Of these
scenes the hower-covered casket is be-
ing borne down the church steps to the
funeral car on the shoulders of eight
sturdy sailors. Immediately following
are President Roosevelt, Secretaries
i. Gage and Root, Attorney General
Knox and many other high government
officials, whose faces are so clear and
distinct that they are at once recog-
nized.
Immensely interesting to out-of-
town visitors are two automatic brick
making machines in Mechanical Hall,
the one driven by machinery, the other
operated by hand. In one OF these tho
bricks are made from cement and sand
and are given any color desired. Not
far away from this machinery stands an
automobile that is absolutely unique be-
cause power is applied to all four wheels
instead OF to two, as has been the case
up to date.
Beautiful Jim Key, the educated
horse, is performing more marvellous
feats this year than ever. He spells,
counts, reads, manipulates the cash reg
lister, and does many other astonishing
things. The owner OF this rare animal
has just refused an offer OF SEQ 10000.
Especially attracting. to young and
old is the Chil1ren's Theatre and won
derland, with It's twelve life-sized fig
ures; the $4,000 Roller Coaster, the
flying animals and the mystifying
Crystal Maze,
Some superb electrical effects are be-
ing introduced this year into the pano-
ramic DAY in the Alps" Intensely

derstorm which breaks over the little
Alpine village, the flashes OF lightning
and the beautiful night scenes.
The musical attraction for this week
is the wonderful Banda Rosa, Italy's
most famous musical organization. Eu-
geno Sorrentiuo, noted as composer,
is its conductor, and the programs he is
offering are among the choicest ever
heard at the Exposition. A unique
feature OF this band is its soloists, who
are Heard at every performance.
Railroads have made unusual prepa-
rations for trips to the new Pittsburg
Exposition. all running regular excur-
sions every Thursday during the season,
and special ones on Tuesdays and Sat-
urdays on certain roads, In every case
the cost is only one fare for the round
trip. As there are only three weeks OF
the present season remaining, Subur-
banites will do well to take the first op-
portunity to visit what is acknowledged
to be the most magnificent Exposition
ever held in the United States
