sacre. as magnificent in his studied indif-
ference as a marble statue.
Following the Indians in their saudy
holiday attire came the apish pygmies
in no attire at all, laughing and chatter
ing constantly and initiating every I'M
usual gesture they saw. Many OF the
women carried babies in their arms.
When the parade entered the Plaza ST.
Louis the Filipino Scouts were giving an
exhibition drill. In a trice they lost their
spectators, as the people thronged upon
the savage parade so closely that II al
most stopped the advance.

dian School. and with a line an eighth Of
a mile IN length proceeded slowly down
the Olympian Way into Louisiana Way.

gave interesting exhibitions OF tn.- ma
tional dances.
About fifteen different races participated
In the exhibition, including Indians from
British Columbia. the United States and
Mexico, ~Patagonian giants, South African

IGORRoTEs ARE PROSPEROUS.
Finances Increased by Gifts From
Visitors to the Fair.

Bamboo t~restles festooned with cattle
skulls, spanning the pathways in the Igor
rote Village in the Philippine section. have
been a source of interest to visitors in the
village. In response to queries. Governor
Hunt explained the significance OF this
srewsome method Of decorating by stating
that they indicated the prosperity Of the
village.
In their native lam human skulls are
used instead of the skulls of animals to
show to the world that the village Is in a
prosperous state and a 1ourishing- condi-
ton. with plenty OF none and food. Since
coming to the Worlds Fair the finances of
the lgOrrotes have been considerably in
creased by gifts and money received from
visitors who witness the dances.
Governor Hunt Is kept busy exchanging
small coins for bills. so that the natives
may not be inconyenienced by having a
large bulk to carry back to their island
home. Governor Hunt Is the banker for
the natives; who have implicit confidence
in him. Through an interpreter, Chief
Antonio stated, when advised to place the
money in a bank: We want no bank but

full to us"

LIEUTENANT C. SIDNEY HAIGHT.
Military aid to President Francis, WHIT
has resigned.
the chairman of the National Commission
and explained the matter to him. after
which he departed with the understanding
that it was all "a satisfactory.
Lieutenant Haights connection with
the Worlds Fair dates from last spring,
when he was detailed to duty at the
Worlds Fair by the War Department
just prior to the opening. He served for
a time as military secretary to the Com
Inittee on Ceremonies, and did valuable
service in connection with the elaborate
ceremonies of opening day.
When Colonel Cupp, secretary of the
Committee on Ceremonies, died recently
a question arose as TO the appointment of
his successor.
Lieutenant Haight was at first proposed
for the position. but the selection eventual
" went to Allen Cockrell, the present sec
rotary. The position of military aid 10

sands of members of military and semi
military organizations on the Worlds Fair
site.
GOES TO PACIFIC COAST.
Lieutenant Haight's regiment has been
ordered to duty on the Pacific coast. He
said yesterday that he could not tell just
when he woulc join II, as he is awaiting
the order from the War Department re-
lieving him. He stated that he had packed
his grips in anticipation of the order.
The position of military aid is considered
a plum by army officers And there is much
speculation in Exposition army circles as
to the successor to Lieutenant Haight.
The resignation of the latter caused much
regret among those who knew him and of
the efficient work he has done in the posi-
ton of military aid. Among those most
prominently mentioned for the position Is
Major Andrew G.. Hammond, assistant
commandant of the Jefferson Guards, who
is already familiar with the duties of the
Office.
Secretary Stevens stated yesterday that
the Exposition Company in requesting the
detail of an officer for the position would
not name any particular person. leaving
that entirely TO the choice of the War
Department. He could not say who prob
ably would be selected for the post.
