transmitted by cable throughout the
grounds to the electric railways, the
machinery in operation in the exposi-
tion buildings, the pumps supplying
water to the cascades and fountains,
the refrigerating plant and for other
purposes. The total horsepower used
at Chicago did not exceed 10000 and at
the Pan-American not over 5000, in
comparison with the 10000 to $4,000
here
Electricity had only five and one
half acres at Chicago, while at st. Louis
nine acres are given to the same de-
partment, besides a large display of
electrical generators in the Palace. of
Machinery.
No one should be deferred from visit
ing the worlds fair because of the fear
that living expenses in st. Louis are too
high. If anyone has this notion 1t is
high time that it be dispelled. There Is
absolutely no doubt of the fact that one
can find excellent living accommodate
tions in st. Louis now at rates not ex-
ceeding the charges this same month in
New York, Chicago or any other great
American city.
No one need pay more than one dollar
day for good room. That is an aver
age rate, though many accommodations
of excellent character may be had for
less There are many unrented rooms
| at five dollars week, advertised every
day in the newspapers. Hundreds of
restaurants serve meals or give short
| order service at the same rates
that prevailed before the exposition
| opened.
1t is suggested that the stranger in
st. Louis, who wishes to find reasonable
clearinghouse rates make inquiry at
a grocery store or meat market in the
vicinity where he desires to stop. The
grocers and butchers know nearly all
the boarding houses in their neighbor-
hoods, and they are quite willing to
oblige the stranger by directing him to

Columbus, o., June 1.-THE prose-
cution rested its case in the national
guard court-martial yesterday Wit
nesses for the defence are not under
examination. The admission of Maj.
Kirkpatrick's testimony before the
board of inquiry was the decisive vic
tory so far gained by the prosecution.
In this testimony Kirkpatrick admit

have prevented the lynching by TAX

less have been necessary for him to
have fired into the mob. Upon this

more of their stay inside the grounds
but few get further than the point from
which they catch their first view of this
grand picture.
1T almost takes my breath away"
exclaimed one woman near whom was
standing as she caught her first glimpse
of the beauty of the cascades and the
magnificence of the grand exposition
palaces. Such is the general verdict.
For beauty, for magnificence, for extent,
st. Louis has beat the world.
There is another feature. or rather
collection of features, which seemingly
appeals to every visitor, and with good
reason, and that is "The Pike" The
fair management do not wish to appeal
to the public with a side-show. They
built an exposition which should stand
forth to the world on its merits as an
educator, as a monument to the worlds
progress, but realizing that an amuse-
ment feature was necessary they set to
work to provide the biggest and best in
this line that has ever been known. That
they have succeeded in this is evident
to every visitor who travels THE Pike"
Nor is this great amusement feature
lacking in educational interest. Here
one may study the architectural fancies
of the world; here he may study the
nations of the world, their methods OF
life. their surroundings, their customs.

maux in their snow and ice bound homes

THE WONDERS OF THE
WORLD AT ST. LOUIS
They Are to Be Found in the Great Palaces and Along
"The Pike"

st. Louis EARLY visitors to the Louis.
lana Purchase exposition have found
at st. Louis an exposition so nearly COM
plete that they have in no way missed
the few minor details that were unfin-
ished on the opening day, and which
have since been completed. In fact in
an exposition of such proportions es
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
1t is all but impossible to comprehend
what it has meant to the builders. The
last vestige of scaffolding that for a
few days surrounded some of the less i'm
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
it. 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.
1t has been interesting to watch the
visitors these first days of the fair In
teresting to see what would appeal to
then strongest, but after one has studied
the mass of humanity in their quest fo1
the wonders it Is hard to select any one
feature that could be designated as q
general favorite with all. OF course al
visitors are enthusiastic over the general
picture, the grand en- semble, which has

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 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 is in the engines them
selves rather than in the large capacity
of the exhibit, for among them is a
giant turbine or rotary engine develop
ing 5000 horsepower, besides others of
a similar type of smaller capacity. This
is the first display of turbine engines
at large exposition. as its develop
ment is a very recent achievement OF
mechanical engineering and invention
At the Chicago Exposition the larg-
est gas engine developed only ten
horsepower; the visitor to st. Louis
may see gas engine with the capacity
OF 300 times larger than the Chicago
engine. The 5000 horsepower gas en-
gine is the largest engine of its char
acter ever built. Many other gas en-
gines of various types developing from
1000 to 1,750 horsepower complete thi
feature of the exhibit, and there arr
many of the more familiar reciprocal
ing engines of the latest pattern ant
highest efficiency.
OF the total number of prime mover
In the Palace Of Machinery about one
half are comprised in what is known a

half being exhibitors engines. Nearl,

WOMEN "BUcK THE TIGER"
How the Dealers in a Montana Gam
bling Resort Get the Work
ing Girls Wages.

In Butte, Mont, there is 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 game of faro, perfectly
at home and without fear of Interrupt
ton. The entrance is from an alley near
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 pay bets or take
winnings without the slightest sugges-
ton of the incongruity of the situation,
says the Denver Republican.
Here many fashionably gowned wom-
en- of Butte's elite come in parties or in
pairs with escorts, to quietly venture sill
yer or goldpieces coined from copper by
their husbands, who busy themselves in
Butte's continuous political war.
Women of the business world keep
track of the game, and both dealer and
player usually maintain rigid silence.
Money is passed out for chips with the
simple word, five" or ten, ,"and con-
versation is economical to a minimum.
And there are schemes to inveigle the
unsuspecting that only the initiated un-
derstand Many women of the middle
classes are among the most regular pa
irons of the place. A waiter girl was re-
Gently observed playing her weeks
wages with phenomenal luck With SIS
she had won $50 and had cashed in her
chips with charming GOODNESS prepared
to go home winner" The dealer paid
her without comment. He counted out
the money-two twenty-dollar bills, one
ten, one five, four dollars in silver, two
half-dollars. She picked up the money,
put the bills in her purse and laid a
half dollar on the ace. 1t lost. She laid
down a dollar. 1t won. Another few
moments and she had lost the silver. Re-
| luctantly she drew out five-dollar note
and began to play again. In a few deals
she was playing heavily again. In half
an hour she was broke. 1t was simple
trick which has won the bank many mill
lions of dollars after the player cashed
in-the manner of payment. One is re-
luctant to break a bill, but silver is con-
venient to lay down on card, and most
gamblers will do it. Before they know il
they are again drawn in to the game.
They sometimes win, it is true, for the
games are on the square, but one cannot
win always, and the chance on second
round is in favor of the tiger"
