intensely interested in the mechanical
motive force of this greatest OF exposi-
tions, and well they may be. One OF
the most striking features is the power
plant. Never before at an exposition
has there. been even half as much
power developed as supplied from the
various prime movers in the Palace OF
Machinery. In a large boiler house
standing west Of the Machinery build
ing, filled with the latest and best pro-
ductions of skilled boiler manufactures
steam is generated to supply 10000
horsepower to the various engines in
the Machinery Building: In addition
to this about 10000 horsepower is re-
ceived by electric cable from power sta
tions in the city of st. Louis. But the
greatest interest fs"fn tine engines them

a grocery store or meat market in the
vicinity where he desires to stop. The
grocers and butchers know nearly all

IN Butte, Mont, there Is a--gambling
house where the patronage OF ladies
is the special feature Of the manage
ment, and where all kinds of women
play the good old gamasOf faro, perfectly
at home and without fear of sinterrup-
ton. The entrance is from an alleyneas
Broadway, and the house is luxuriously
furnished. Carpets are laid on the
floors, softened lights shine over the
players, courteous attendants deal and
shuttle the cards and payAbets or take
winnings without the slightest sugges-
tion of the incongruity or the situatiou,

st. Louis.-Early visitors to the Louis
lana Purchase exposition have found
, st. Louis an exposition so nearly COM
plete that they have in no way missed
the few minor details that were untin-
ished on the opening day, and which
have since been completed. In fact in
an exposition of such proportions as
this it would be impossible to discover
a thousand little details that might lack
completion.
Weather conditions were against the
exposition management. for few days
preceding the opening. Now every
thing is favorable, and the great fair
is entirely complete, a completeness, we
must repeat, that is so enormous that
it is. all but, impossible to comprehend
what it has meant to the builders. The
last vestige of scaffolding that for q
few days surrounded some of the less inn
portant buildings has been torn away;
the last wagon load of refuse hauled
from the grounds; every flower and
shrub the landscape gardeners included
In their scheme of decoration growing
under the benign influence of spring
sun, and the exposition stands forth a
completed giant, beautiful in concep-
tion, wonderful in execution, stupendous
in size, by far the masterpiece of the
worlds expositions.
. Stupendous size does not half express
1t. This worlds fair has many sur
prises for the visitor, but its immense
size is the greatest astonisher of all.
Amazement at the extent of the fair is
heard from every visitor.
IT has been interesting to watch the
visitors these first days of the fair. In
terestipg to see what would appeal to
then strongest, but after one has studied
the mass of humanity in their quest for
