The New Pittsburg Exposition.


In the big buildings OF the New
Pittsburg Exposition everything
is hustle and activity these days
in anticipation Of the grand open
ing scheduled for the night of
Wednesday, September, 3, when
the great Sousa and his fam
Gus band will be heard in an
inaugural concert of popular and
novel selections. Mr.. Sousa's ap-
pearance on this occasion will be
doubly interesting to his ever
widening circle of admirers, as
since his concerts here last year,
he has been decorated by King
Edward VII. with the Victorian
medal, an honor accorded to only
four other musicians, and in addi-
ton has been fairly deluged with
honors of every sort by the en-
thusiasts of England and Scot
land, who early this year fairly
went mad over the work of his
superb organization.
Music hall is being beautifully
redecorated in white and pink for
this inaugural concert, and indi,
catlonse are that John Philip
oousa will be given such an ova-
ton as never before was accorded
bandmaster and composer. Let
no one be kept away from the
opening on Wednesday, Septem-
Der 3, for fear Of crowding, as the
Exposition buildings and grounds
can take care of fully $4,000
people.
In the line of exhibits this sea-
son surprise will follow surprise,
both in the main building and in
Mechanical Hall. So urgent has
been the demand for exhibitors
space, that for the first time in the
soclety'S history every available
foot has been disposed Of, the net
result being the appearance of
torty-two new and highly inter-
estlng displays. Notable among
these will be the most elaborate
showing ever made anywhere of
fine cut glassware; a superb cleo
trical exhibit; a complete model
of the "Deutschland," the swift
est ocean liner afoat; and that
wonder of the engineering world,
the Observation-Disclosures.
The special attractions will be
i'll new, not an old face being
seen. Foremost among these will
Sc the Eruption Of Mt. Pelee"
md OBSTRUCTION of St. Pierre; ;"
next in order, Darkness and
Dawn" then the Laughing Gal
Iery;" the Dancing Marion
ettes;' the puzzling Haunted
Swing" and, Of course, those in
dispensable favorites, the "To-
boggan Slide" the "Merry-Go-
Round" and the "Cinemato-
graph"
With the finest of music OBJ
tainable anywhere; with displays
away beyond anything hitherto
attempted; with attractions COM
oletely changed, and with the
most lavish provision for the
'Omfort and convenience of its
lientele, the Exposition manage
nent looks forward to a total at
,endance of not less than 100000
persons, thus breaking every

REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMEN WOULD
BE POWERLESS TO HELP US.

Louisiana Republicans contend
that it would be better to send
Republican congressman from the
sugar districts Of Louisiana, be-
cause they would have voice in
the caucus of the Republican party
in shaping Legislation
and thus be in a better position to
safeguard the sugar interest.
That argument assumes that the
Republicans will have majority
of the next house but what as
surance have we that such will be
the easel The "signs of the time
all point to a Democratic majority
in which case a Republican con.
grcesmen from Louisiana would
not only be of no assistance to Tho
sugar interest, but a source of EN-
barassment and of injury to it.
Let us, however, concede, fo1
the sake of argument, that th'
Republicans will control the mex
house, and that the unexpected
happens, aud one or two Republi
