A THRILLING INCIDENT.
At the Pan-American Exposition in
Buffalo.

Buffalo, n. Y, July PA dramotic
incident which took place at the Pan
American exposition recently reveals
an attractive phase of the character
of the cosmopolitan crowds that daily
enter the Rainbow City"
The time was Independence day. The
scene was the beautiful Stadium, the
vast amphitheater with it's tier above
tier of seats crowded with people. The
whole shrouded in semi darkness pierre
ed only by the yellow rays of full
moon.
In the center of the Stadium arena,
and cast in bold relief by the powerful
light of two search lamps, stood Sousa,
and his wonderful band. With soft ca
dence and then with glorious volume
came floating from the bandstand an
air from Carmen. The musicians SEEM
ed inspired. The audience was in that
hush of suspense that comes before the
widest applause.
Suddenly music was heard in the
darkness at the east of the Stadium.
Sousa stopped his band as though puz-
bled, and the searchlight revealed the
Royal Bavarian Infantry band, from
Alt-Nurnberg on the Midway, march
ing toward the stand and playing a
rollicking German air. The audience
broke INTO lOud applause. QUICK 10
grasp the situation, Sousa directed his
men to play Die Wacht am Rhein,"
the German national anthem. The au-
dience signalled it's approval with loud
continuous cheering. Hardly had the
American band concluded when the
Bavarians, led by the famous Herr ia
cob Peuppus, struck up America and
the thousands of men in the dark cir
Giles around, rose as one man to cheer
wildly and continuously while the
searchlights flashed quickly, back and
forth, from one to the other. Sousa's
band then Joined in with that of Herr
Peuppus, and together they finished the
American national hymn At the con-
clusion the Bavarians marched away
again in the darkness, playing Sousa's
Stars and Stripes Forever" and as
they marched under the entrance, Sou
sa returned with "Auld Lang Syne.'
Women were hysterical and men
hoarse before the roar of applause
which seemed to last fully five min
utes, had ceased. The incident added
not a little to the already we'll estab-
lished popularity of the Royal Bavar-
ian Infantry Band among the exposi-
tion crowds.

Once Minister-PhysicaI Labor
Saved Him From Mind Wreck.
From the New York Tribunl

From the New York Tribune.
Theodore J. Shaffer. the directing
head of the steel strike, was graduated
from rolling mill into the Western
University of Pennsylvania, and in
time into the Wesleyan Theological
Seminary. That led him into the min
istry, and by stages back into a roll
ing mill again. where he was called to
become president of the Amalgamated
Association. President Shaffer is one
of those unfortunately brilliant men
whose physical resources are made
quate to maintain the drafts made upon
it by his active and versatile mental
ity.
After laboring day and night as
boy and youth in the rolling mills to
acquire an education, he was met with
the professional judgment of one ply
stefan after another that he must lay
aside intellectual labor and return to
physical tasks If he hoped to preserve
his health. Over-activity was his
fault. He reluctantly followed the
advice of his physicians and left the
pulpit to return to the mills of the
Leechburg Sheet Company.
Between fifty and fifty-fve years Of
age, tall, slender and graceful, Theo-
dore Shaffer, has been compelled to
forego intellectual labor, except that
thrust upon him at intervals as presi-
dent of the Amalgamated Association
AS a boy he used the housings of the
rolls in the mills where he worked for
his blackboard, There he gained his
rudimentary education. He took up
alone the study of Latin and Greek,
/ Sanscrit, the modern languages, liter
allure and the usual preparatory
| branches.
In the strength of the thirties he be-
