Two Million Dollars
for Worlds Fair Music
By GUY T. VISKNISKKI.

st. Louis has measured her arts as
she has her Worlds Fair site, build
ings and exhibits-by the rule of big
gest- and so something over two mill
lions of dollars have been spent by
the exposition authorities in an en-
deavor to surpass the musical fea-
lures of all former expositions. This
month will prove whether this at
tempt has been successful, for it will
witness the inauguration of the lead
ing features.
The contracts for musical perform
ances alone aggregate 100000. Festi-
val hall, erected as headquarters for
recitals. and with a seating capacity
of $500. cost a round million. The
largest organ ever built. with 145
stops and 10000 pipes, which stands
in festival hall, represents an expendi-
ture of several tens of thousands of
dollars. The numerous band stands
for open-air concerts scattered
throughout the grounds on the plaza
of st. Louis and elsewhere cons .med
many pretty penny in their coAstruc-
ton; and the prizes offered IN mu-
steal contests of various dies options
aggregate half a hundred thousand
dollars.
The use of millions of money has
secured the exposition several strik-
ing musical features, not the least of
which is engagements wiea some of
the leading military bands of the
world for daily concerts.
The Garde Republicaine, the most
famous band of its kind in the world,
comes from Paris, Sept. 8, for a four
weeks stay as a mark of favor of
the French government. This will be
the first time that 1t will have played
in foreign exposition, and it will be
the bands initial appearance in
America. The Grenadier Guards
Band of England, which will be in
charge of titled officer of the Guards,
comes Aug. 20 for a siX-weeks' stay,
King Edward giving his permission
after weeks of negotiation. Won Blon's
famous Berlin band, the Philharmonic,
completes the trio of foreign bands,
its engagement lasting the eight weeks
beginning Oct. 3.
Won Blons band was chosen after
Emperor William had refused permits
sion to two of his crack military bands
to play in America; and the most ia
nous of Russian military bands-the
Chevalier Guards-which the Gear had
permitted to enter into contract with
the exposition authorities, had to with
drew at the last moment, owing to the
outbreak of the war with Japan. STILL
the three bands that will come over
together with Americas leading kim
dred organizations, the two bands at
tached to the Philippine Scouts and the
Philippine Constabulary, and the Mex
lean band, will represent the greatest
aggregation of military bands ever as
sembled at any exposition, and, as in
the case of the Garde Republicaine
will include many never before heard
in this country.
No little diplomacy and time were
required to secure consent of the vari-
Gus governments to the appearance of
their pet organizations at the EXPOSE

A SYRIAN LUNCHEON.

Every one likes novelty in cuisine,
and Syrian or Turkish luncheon is
quite worth trying. A luncheon strict
ly Syrian always starts off with little
glasses of arrac, liqueur imported
from Russia, and greatly resembling
white RUM This is followed by a rel
ish called maza, not entirely unknown
to the American table. The maZa is
made with raw lamb minced and mix
ed with cucumbers and tomatoes, with
a dash of white pepper. To the soup,
which is like any vegetable or chicken
soup, spoonful of koshk, which is
fermented milk thickened with flour,
is added. The koshk is bought al
ready prepared, and is used much as
the continentals use cheese. The dried,
roasted peas are also added to the
soup, Just as the latter is served. If
they are put in before they lose their
crispness and delicacy. With the Sy-
rians all vegetables are stuffed--on-
ions, potatoes, squash, egg plant and
tomatoes-and very delicious they are.
The stuffing is made with the inside
of the vegetable, chopped meat, brown
ed i'm a pan with butter goat butter),
boiled rice, pinecone nuts and few
of the dried peas, which are called
kummus. 1t is then replaced in the
vegetable shell and baked until brown.
Pistachio nuts, baklawa and nalwa,
delicious sweetmeats similar to mac
caroon. only. more delicate, with a bar
of curious construction called tahiny
form the dessert for both luncheon and
dinner. A root which we know in this
country as soap root, and used for
washing delicate fabrics, and is also
used by the Syrians in the crude form
for the same purpose, is boiled. dried
and ground into powder, which makes
the most exquisite ground work for
sweetmeats or desserts.

ART EXHIBIT AT DE SOTO.


Interesting Display of Pictures
visited by Many.
The first annual art exhibit of the
Newspaper Illustrators Association
opened at the De Soto yesterday morn
ing, where it will continue for three
days. Hundreds of pictures of all de-
scriptions are displayed and all are
arranged in such a manner that they
are shown off to the best advantage.
Many visited the room in which the
display Is placed.
A feature of the display is the num-
Der of Savannah men represented.
One that attracted unusual comment
was a picture of Mayor Herman Myers.
About this picture is a touch of BUSH
ness briskness, dash. and progressive
ness that has marked the present adj
ministration and many were the COM
ments heard concerning It. The May
or Is shown with his coat thrown
lightly back, his hands In his trous-
ers pockets, and his whole manner is
pictured as that of an alert. up-to-
date business man and official.
The picture of Mr.. Horace p. Smart,
who is drawn as a typical globe-tro
ter, also attracted considerable atten-
ton. Mr.. Smart Is pictured as a man
whose only regret Is that this world
IS so small that IL is so easily seen
and he seems only to be wishing for
another globe about which to jour
ney. The picture OF other Savannah
ians are typical and the subjects Of
much comment.
The scenes and the pictures of past
events. both real and fictitious. are
excellent and were highly praised,
though naturally the greatest inter-
est to Savannahlans lay In the por-
traitures OF Savannahians. especially
those Of greater prominence. Groups
OF admirinR observers were before
these pictures during the day.

speak, may be formed and toxic effects
ensue. It Is therefore, interesting to
consider what amounts of the ordinary
alcoholic drinks contain this pernlissi-
bic allowance of alcohol-say, one and
half fluid ounces--which is assumed
to be the extreme limit of the oXidiz-
ing power OF the body.
Taking brandy and whisky to contain
so per cent. by volume of alcohol, three
fluid ounces or six tablespoonfuls of
these spirits would contain the maxi
mum allowable daily dose. This would
be the equivalent of about two glasses
of brandy or whisky and water per
diem, each containing three tablespoon
fuls of spirit and a half pint of water,
to exceed which would be to risk n
toxic result. Port and sherry with
their average of 20 per cent. of alco
hol, would contain the permissible
amount OF alcohol in seven ounces, or
little over two wlneglassfuls, assum-
Ing each to contain about three fluid
ounces. The limited quantity Of white
wines, claret or champagne, with 10
per cent. of alcohol. would be fifteen
fluid ounces while one and half fluid
ounces of alcohol represent about thir-
ty fluid ounces or a pint and half
of table beer.
The question, is however. complicat-
ed in the case of wines and beer. be-
cause these contain nutritive matters
In addition. Apart from the fact that
to avoid injury to health the amount OF
alcohol consumed per diem should be
limited strictly to one and half nuid
ounces, 1t cannot be regarded for
practical purposes as a food In the
sense of a true reoarative. II Is at
best producer Of heat and energy,
and then frequently at the expense
OF healthy cellular activity, while its
cost from the point of view of actual
food value has been calculated to be
eight times more than that Of bread.

"Jack H0rner" Pie, Feature of the

Performance.
The surprise party of The Young
Woman's Christian Association was
given last night at the association hall
on Abercorn street. An entertaining
programme had been arranged, the fea-
ture of which was "Jack Horner"
pie.
The pie was a clever imitation of the
genuine article and from the crust
protruded about a hundred colored rib
bons. Each member drew one of the
ribbons from the pie and attached
thereto was a Christmas present for
the drawer.
Mrs. Graham addressed the members
on Organization of Club Work in the
Association" and the subject was ably
handled. A number of games We're
played during the evening. and the
young ladies thoroughly enjoyed them
selves in Going to Jerusalem to at
tend 1.-THE Donkey Party" Finch and
ping-pong We're also played.
The refreshments were served by the
demonstrators of the National Biscuit
Company and the menu consisted of
fruit salads, cheese waters, cakes,
candy, hot chocolate and SHREDDED wheat
biscuit ice cream. The rooms of the
hall were prettly decorated with smi-
lax and mistletoe. which hung from the
pictures and chandeliers.
