Vocal and Band Music
At Exposition

San Francisco, August 2.-Splen-
did music by world-famed artists is
one of the big features of the mid
summer and autumn season at the
Panama-Pacfic International Exposi-
tion at San Francisco. The daily
program contains band concerts by
internationally known organizations,
organ recitals by many of the worlds
masters, and choruses of unexcelled
merit.
Popular music at popular prices is
one of the greatest drawing cards at
the exposition. Not that grand opera
and ponderous compositions have
been sighted, but the exposition
realizes that the masses want music
that can be understood by an un-
trained ear-something tingling and
enjoyable without the expenditure of
too much brain work in the effort
to absorb it. At no theatre or opera
house in American can the same
high class music be heard for any
thing like the price in vogue at the
fair. Ten cents secures admission
to the majority of the organ recitals
and the band concerts 60 with the
admission ticket. The prices al
special concerts and musical festi-
walls range slightly higher in price.
Festival hall, where most of the
musical activities take place, is
magnificent auditorium in the hear
Of the gardens, and it cost nearly
half million dollars. 1t contains one
of the largest pipe organs in thu
world, magnificent instrument
with wonderful tone. Famous mas
ters will give recitals on this orgar
each day until December 4.
Edward Lemare of London, recog
nized as the worlds foremost organ
ist, will give 100 recitals beginnint
August 25 and ending December 4
Others who will give recitals dali,
during that period include William
]. Gomph of Buffalo, Charles Gallo
way OF st. Louis, Daniel Philippi Of
New York, j. Warren Andrews ol
New York, T. Tertius Noble OF New
York, P. D. D. Comey Of Boston, w
Lynwood Farnum of Boston, Arthur
S. Hyde OF New York and Frank s.
Adams OF Boston.
'lThe famous Philippine. Constabu-
larry Band is ON the schedule for
daily concerts throughout the expo
sition year. Sousa's band is now en-
tertaining thousands daily and the
great Boston Band Of S5 players has
been giving daily concerts. othel
organizations which are to be heard
daily include Cassasa's Exposition

Blitz, City Electrician Strickland's
bulldog, suffered an untimely death
today, being run over by an automo-
bile and receiving injuries which ne
cessitated his being shot. Blitz has
been a familiar sight around the
Plaza for many weeks and will be
much missed both by his master and
by the host of friends which his
happy facility for making friends
had secured him.

'clonlb'' fer climbed" When a noun
taineer becomes suddenly insane 1t is
said that hes tux a franzy SPELL and
this rustic pronunciation is said to have
the authority of Sir Philip Sidney. A
suggestion of Shakespearean usage Is
found, also, in the mountaineer's use OF
the supe-lative. He speaks OF the "ta!..-
INCEST girl, the "single-footinSest
horses. the 'smilingest" person. and the
'lastingest' or the fastest wood.
Sound logic if not literary authority ex-
lists for his use of AIRY and nary
which are said 10 be convenient and eu-
phonious contractions of the poetic "e'er
a" and "ne'er a and for the use of
"farder" and "furder'' for farther and
further which have the same justifica-
ton for their existence from an etynnolo-
gioal point OF view as murder which
used to be written as "rnurther." Hit,
which the mountaineer uses for the pro-
noun 'it" is the original Anglo-Saxoa
form of the word.
Other examples are cited of the use of
common words in uncommon shades OF
meaning as nice for "scbe-.' to be
ambitious for 20 be angry ivy" for
laurel" flower pot'' for bouquet"
"lilies' for roses" worried" or 'wor-
rited' for tired" death for a tenn

This does not mean that the absolute
number Of stars decreases with increase
of distance. but that the ratio of their
rumber to the volume of space occupied
decreases in the proportion shown, so
that at a distance of $50 parsecs there
are only Is per cent. as many stars as
there should be il there had been no fall
ing off in relative density.
Various counts and estimates Of the ac-
tual numbers included within various
limiting distances have been made, and
these show that the total number Of stars
in the visible universe is Vulnerable and
probably does not exceed thousand
millions at an outside estimate.
The fact that fairly definite shape OF
outline has been found for the visible
universe is in itself a proof that it is no.
unlimited in extent. We are virtually
certain that it expands around US In
such a manner as to assume roughly the
form of a nat. irregular disk. the more
distant parts or edges of which lie in the
plane Of the Milky way. 1t is thus ike
a floating island of stars in the ocean OF
space.
Space itself may be infinite, although
what we call the universe is not. AS TO
other unverses existing beyond the lin
its OF ours and invisible to us, that is
purely speculation. which appears more
or less probable according to the man
rer in which ones mind approaches il.
But, at any rate, there Is no positive
evidence Of the existence Of such outer
star systems. From time to time one
hears suggestions that this or that nebu-
la is an outside universe" dtnly shining
to US from its millions Of crowded star
across Unreasonable tracts Of interven-
ing space. But 1t is far more probable
that no nebula or other object visible iii
the mightiest telescope is unconnected
with the universe to which our sun and
our earth belong.
AS to the continuance of the Creator 8
work in forming new suns and new
planets, Of that there can be no question.
This work Is, in truth. visibly going on
before US in the heavens. There il the
utmost variety Of ages among the stars.
just as there is among the human beings
In a crowd. II our lives were Heightened
so that a year would be but as second
to US we should see the stars around US
disappearing and new ones sprnging IN
to existence, as we see flowers fading ana
fresh ones blooming in the garden.
To return for a moment to the question
Of the inf1nitude Of space. it is well
known that the human mind cannot con-
ceive limit to space. for the instant you
attempt to fix or imagine such limit
your imagination flies beyond it. You
| have got to think of an outside as well
as of an inside.
And II you fly to another imagined
boundary instantly another outside ex-
panse stretches away before you! 1t is.
then. perfectly legitimate to suppose that
while the visible universe is limited. the
invisible universe has no bounds. In
comparison with that. all that we see, or
can ever see. Is. truly, infinitely less than
as a grain Of sand TO a desert or drop
OF water to an ocean.--Garrett P. Ser

with his slants and curves. As the
contest progressed and the Phiiiies es-
caped from one predicament a1ter
another Alexander steadily Improved
while Shore began to show signs O.
the strain until the breaking climax
came in the eighth.
Errors Of Judgment
The loss Of the game cannot be placed
entirely upon the shoulders OF Shore
however. for Hoblitzells bad play In the
opening inning when he failed to con-
slider Alexanders speed and was caught
of first base with Hooper on third ana
Lewis at the bat, seemingly shut on a
splendid chance for a run. In the fourth
inning, Shore, Of course. had no one but
himself TO blame when he opened the
way for the first Of Phillies' runs by
fielding Cravath's sacrifice TO first In
stead Of throwing Paskert out at sec
ond. He had ample time 10 cut on the
latter at the midway where Barry was
all set for the ball. The most gisrins
error Of Judgment. however. vas that IN
the eighth session when Scott failed to
cover second on Barrys great one-hard
stop of Bancroft's drive. This failure
Of the infield to work together upset the
whole team.
Weakness Of Batting
Another notable feature Of the play
was the failure of both teams to hit the
ball hard and safe when men we're on
the bases. Time after time the batters
of both clubs put IN weak efforts when
a clean smash would have brought the
runner home.
This was particular" true with the
Red Sox with their nine men left on
bases in an equa, number Of innings.
That this was not entirely due to the
pulling delivery of Alexander was
demonstrated by. the solid hitting OF
the Boston batters at other and less
