St. Louis. —Early visitors to the Louis iana Purchase exposition have found at St. 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 as this it would be impossible to discover a thousand little details that might lack completion. Weather conditions were against the exposition management for a 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 a few days surrounded some of the less im 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 a 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 world's expositions. Stupendous size does not half express it. This world's 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 teresting to see what would appeal to then strongest, but after one hasstudied the mass of humanity in their quest for the wonders it is hard to select any one feature that could be designated as a general favorite with all. Of course all visitors are enthusiastic over the general pieture, the grand eu semble, which lias FESTIVAL HALL AND THE CASCADES. been created, and for the first hour or 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. "It almost takes roy breath away," exclaimed one woman near whom I 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. Kor 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 world's progress, but realizing that an amuse ment feature was necessary they sel 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; h< re he may study the nations of the world, their methods oi life, their surroundings, their customs. He sees realistic pictures of the Esqui maux in thei.- snow and icebound homes in one minute, and the next is tians ported to the jungles of tropical Africa. "The Pike" is not an aggregation of fat women and the skeleton men, in no sense a circus side-show, but a realistic picture of the world upor which five millions cf dollars has been spent. Six thousand performers from foreign countries, and busy artisans lroni erj remote corner of earth are engaged to reproduce the life of 25 different peoples. Fifteen hundred animals are required to lend reality to the varied scenes. Two shows in the list of 40 represent an out lay of $1,400,000. Twenty of them cost not less than SIOO,OOO apiece, and hardly an attraction less than $50,000. Some idea of what there is to be seen of Pike features may be had from a list of the educational amusement features which this section of the fair contains; Alaska and Esquimaux Village; An cient Home and Hawaiian Volcano; Bat tle Abbey; Bohemia; Crystal Palace; Cliff Dwellers; Chinese Village; Colorado Gold Mine; Creation; Coal Breaker; Cairo; Constantinople; Fire-Fighting Exhibition; Glass Weaving, Spinning; German Tyrolean Alps; Golden Chariot; Grant's Log Cabin; Galveston Flood; Haunted Castle; Hereafter; Hunting in the O/.arks; Infant Incubators; Indian Congress and Wild West; Irish Village; Japanese Village; Jerusalem; Jim Key (Educated Horse); Lincoln's Log Cabin; Moorish Palace; Model Playground; Miniature Railway; Magic Whirlpool; Morocco; Mysterious Asia; Naval Ex hibition; Old Plantation; Old St. Louis, Mo.; Old Cahokla Court House; Old Virginia Homestead; Observation Wheel; Palais Du Costume; Pottery; Weller; Paris and France; Scenic Kail way; South African Boer Exhibits; Streets of Seville; Statisticum; Sub marine Diving; New York to the North Pole; Trained and Wild Animals; Under and Over the Sea; Upper Mississippi Views; Water Chutes; Wireless Teleg raphy. What runs in all; what supplies the power that makes the countless wheels go round? The majority of visitors are intensely interested in the mechanical motive force of this ereatest. 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 j various prime movers in the Palace Of I Machinery. In a large boiler house I standing west of the Machinery build ing, filled with the latest and best pro- I ductions of skilled boiler manufactures, I steam is generated to supply 30,000 horse-power to the various engines in the Machinery building. In addition to this about 10,000 horse-power 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 tU,e large capacity of the exhibit, for among them is a 1 giant turbine or rotary engine develop ing 8,000 horse-power, besides others of j a similar type of smaller capacity. This ' is the first display of turbine engines j at a 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 | horse-power; the visitor to St. Louis may see a gas engine with the capacity | of 300 times larger than the Chicago ! engine. The 3,000 horse-power gas en j gine is the largest engine of its char ' acter ever built. Many other gas en gines of various types developing from ; 1,000 to 1,750 horse-power complete this ! feature of the exhibit, and there are : many of the more familiar reciprocat j ing engines of the latest pattern and I highest efficient y. Of the total number of prime movers in the Palace of Machinery about one half aie comprised in what is known as | the Exposition power plant, the other I half being exhibitors' engines. Nearly ! all these engines are connected with j electrical generators and the power is CAMERON COUNTY PRESS THURSDAY, JUNE i 5 1904. transmitted by cable throughout th# 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 horse-power used at Chicago did not exceed 12,000 and at the Pan-American not over 8,000, in comparison with the 40,000 to 50,000 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 deterred from visit ing the world's fair because of the fear that living expenses ill St. Louis are too high. If anyone has this notion it is high time that it be dispelled. There is absolutely no doubt of the fact that one can find excellent living accommoda 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 a day for a 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 Ave dollars a 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. It is suggested that, the stranger in St. Louis, who wishes to find reasonable boarding-house 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 a place to suit his purse and his tastes. The "want" columns of the daily news papers also contain columns of small advertisements for boarders or lodgers. WOMEN "BUCK THE TIGER." How the Dealers in a Montana Gam bling Resort Get the Work ing Girl's Wages. In Hutte, 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 game of faro, perfectly j at home and without fear of interrup- | tion. 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 j players, courteous attendants deal and j shuffle the cards and pay bets or take ! winnings without the slightest, surges- j tion 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 sil- ; ver 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 a rigid silence. Money is passed out for chips with the simple word, "five" or "ten,"and con- i versation is economized to a minimum, i And there are schemes to inveigle the j unsuspecting that only the initiated un- ' derstand. Many women of the middle ! classes are among the mo'-t regular pa- ! trons of the place. A waiter girl was re- | cently observed playing her week' 3 I wages with phenomenal luck. With sls she had won $(!0 and had cashed in her I chips with charming coolness prepared j togo home "winner." The dealer paid j 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 j half- dollar on the ace. It lost. She laid | down a dollar. It won. Another few j moments and she had lost the silver. Re luctantly she drew out a five-dollar note and began to play again. In a few deals she was playing heavily again. In half an hour she was broke. It was a simple trick which has won the bank many mil lions of dollars after the player cashed in—the manner of payment. One is re- I luctant to break a bill, but silver is con- ' venient to lay down on a card, and most 1 gabblers will do it. Before they know it I they are again drawn into the game. ' They sometimes win, it is true, for thn ' games are on the square, but one cannot win always, and the chance on a second round is in favor of the "tiger." Perils of "Self-Doctoring."

She carried it on her lap, and made room for a fierce-looking, big man with a newspaper. The child kicked its tiny feet in de light at the strange things it saw while ' riding along, and its shoes rubbed against the big man's trousers.
