THE FAIR BUILDINGS.
Why They nave All. with One Exception,
Bmb Paintrd White.
Much has been said and much writ
ten abont the proper color to le given
to the exterior of the great world's
fair edifices. Concerning this interest
ing question a writer in Scribner's
Magazine says:
txperience shows, even if reason
had cot already dictated the decision,
that the nearer they are kept to w hite
the better the architecture. Every
experiment which has been made to
produce ar-sthetie effects of texture
suggested by the usual treatment of
plaster objects has resulted in partial
or in total failure, and every time the
warm white of the staff has been med
dled with its glory has departed. Uut
the conditions imposed by the climate,
by the impossibility of securing a
homogeneous surface, and by the ex
posure and consequent discoloration of
a certain portion of the work, have
made it necessary to apply some sort
of paint to all the buildings. Ordinary
white lead and oil have been found to
give the best results, for the irregular
absorption of the staff and the weather
rapidly produce an agreeable, not too
monotonous effect, and the surface de
teriorates less rapidly after this treat
ment. The single notable exception
to this simple scale of color is found on
Transportation building, which hat

cago, to cover with polychromatic

ing is treated with bronze and other
metals, the great portal, commonly
called the "Golden Door,"isexec-elinsr-lv
rich and forgeous in effect, and the
intricate ornamentation of the archi
tectural relief decoration has an echo
iu the flat surfaces covered with rich
designs. , .

The great Tittcburgh Exposition, wiH
inaugurate the Fifth Annual Exhibition
amid the booming of cannon, music ol
bsuuls and general enthusiasm on Wednea
dav, September Kth, at 8 T. M.
The opening of the Exposition and th
festivities attending it is a recocuized
feature with the citizens of Pittsburgh
and surrounding cities. The attractions
provided bv the management have always
been of the best obtainable, and this
season extraonlinary efforts have been
made to surpass all former u-,ractionH.
The magnificent Jhand of Ellin Brooks,
of New York, will lie on hand at the
opening, and Black Tatti, the famous
colored singer, will U-gin an engagement
at the same time, remaining for the first
ten days. She will be followed by the
great Salehi, probably the gTeatol dra
matic contralto in the world. Then
comes the unrivaled Gilmore's Band,
which has beyond question, played to
larger and more appreciative audiences
than any other military band in the
country. This superb organization will
remain for four weeks, and, it is safe to
say, will meet with special favor.froru the
hundreds of thousands of people who
visit the Exposition.
Madame Amalia Matema, the un
equalcd German singer, who has no rival,
and who was chosen by Wagner himself
to interpret his matchless compositions
at Bayreuth and elsewhere, has been se
cured at great expense, for the entertain
ment of the iatmns of the Exposition.
Miss Lillian lllauvelt from the Iloyal
Opera H.wtse, Bru-ssells, and late Trima
IVjiinii of the Dainrosih Orchestra of
New York, will give a series of twelve
concerts. This beautiful and accom
plished artist cannot fail to please all
lovers of music.
Signor Cuinpanini, the incomparable
tenor, whose fame is world wide, who
l a' fir years lieen simr'uig with Adclina
l'a'ti, has In-cn secured for one week.
It U apiKirent to everyone w!k has the
slightest knowledge of "music, that it is
iniiossib!e to present attractions of a
higher order. While these artists have
always demanded and received immense
salaries, the Kxjxtsition ha made it pos
sible f.ir them to 1 heard at regular
Kx0-tition prices, and no chansre will be
made iu this re-pect. The Exposition
manat.'cuient believes that the increased
atteudanoe at the concerts, will enable it
to stand the increased expense incurred.
The season of Fall Festivities will open
under the most favorable auspices, and
while thousands of our people may not
1 able to visit Chicaco and the World's
Fair, owing to the great expense, they
may feel ateured that a visit to the Titti
burgh Exposition will aff ml them no end
of pleasure. As usual the railroads will
make special rates to patrons who may
wish to visit Pittslxirgh and its magnificent
Kxfiosition, and take in the many good
thinss provided for their pleasure and
enjoyment. Tho entire Exposition will
lie a series of surprises, new music, new
exhibits, and novelty everywhere.

Special tVorld Fair Letter. 1
One of the strongest arguments in
favor of holding a world's fair
at all in any part of the globe
its grand educational advantages.
In all the oratory delivered by thosj
In favor of the Sunday opening oi
the Columbian exposition of lv.c; tho
most forcible and in fact about the
anly cogent argument was that the
fair, being such a gigantic school and
affering such superb advantages in tho
way of education, should be throw..
Dpen to the masses as freely as pos
sible. It only seems natural that, with this
grand idea so prominent, an educa
tional exhibit would form a very im
portant part of the Columbian exposi
tion. Such an exhibit there is, located
in the northwest corner of the Govern
ment building. The space occupied is
rjot extensive, nor has it been given
uch a position as its importance de
ierves, and yet the number of visitors
tnd the general interest it attracts are
furprising.
The bureau of education at Wash
ington early began the work of organ
ization and the commissioner, through
the aid of a committee from the
American Library association, has
been enabled to inaugurate an ex
hibit broad in its scope of usefulness
and of decided general interest. The
committee appointed was: Mary S.
Cutler, of the Library school at Al
bany; FranU P. Hill, public library,
Newark, N. J.; Charles Alex. Nelson.
Newberry library, Chicago: Weston
Flint, bureau of education, Washing
ton; Charles A. Cutter, Boston athe
naeum; Fr.nl. II. llild, Chicago public
library, and Hannah P. James, Ostcr
bont library. Wilkes Barre, Pa. The
entire exhibit is under the direction of
C. Wellman Park, of Troy, N.Y.,and of
Miss Mary S. Cutler, vice director of
the Library school.
The exhibit in general terms com
prises everything of an educational
character that could be supplied by
the bureau of education and such
other material as could le collected
from public libraries and from the
various publishers throughout the
country. One extremely interesting
exhibit is tinder the head of archi-
I.IEKAP.V EXHIBIT IX
tectnrah It consists, of large, clear
photographic views of all the priacijKil
existing and proposed libraries in this
and other countries.
The object of this department is two
fold. It calls attention to the archi
tectural importance and significance
of libraries and suggests to communi
ties and individuals the erection of li
brary buildings. It also shows the de
velopment and present state of library
science by giving plans and interior
views of many apartments in noted li
braries and educational institutions.
In the arrangement of the material
on exhibition there are numerous
plans shown as in operation in different
libraries. There are systems of hang
ing maps and charts, shelving and
cataloguing books and, in fact, all the
best and most improved ways of con
ducting a public library; the exhibit is
in reality a library in complete work
ing order.
An opportunity has been given in
ventors to show improved devices and
many have taken advantage of tho
chance. Among them is a revolving
system of indexing titles which at
tracts great attention. The system
lontemplates the indexing of 40,000
books and the average time needed to
find any book listed is forty-two sec
onds. Under the idea of inventions
might perhaps be mentioned what is
called the traveling library. This is
a neat cabinet containing 100 well se
sclectcd volumes sent from the Library
school at Albany to small towns
where no libraries have leen insti
tuted. When the utility of the book
has been exhausted in one place, the
cabinet is shipped to another town and
is thus kept in constant use. Thou
sands of these traveling libraries are
now out in the country and the scheme
is becoming vastly popular.
The plan of the "home library" is
also shown as an exhibit. This is a
Boston idea and is extensively used in
that city, though the advantages be
coming known other cities are adopt
ing it. This is also a cabinet, contain
ing twenty-five books which are placed
in the homes of the poorer class of
children and left there for a given
length of tlmo
Naturally, however, the comparative
exhibit is what mostly interests librar
ians. This consists of a full collection
of printed blanks, forms, photogra phs,
etc. classified, mounted and bound to
gether with tabulated results of expe
rience in various departments of libra
ry administration and with samples
of appliances, furniture, fittings, me
chanical and labor-fxving devices and
tools. A deep interest was shown in
the matter by librarians throughout
the coun try, and prompt responses were
made to the request on the part of
the committee to furnish what they
could.
But by far the more important fea
ture of this exhibit as being the most
far-reaching in its possible usefulness
is that inaugurated especially under
the auspices of the American Library
association. The difiiculty experienced
by new library committees the world
over in the start of a new library ia
well recognized. The idea of this im
portant feature is to aid such commit
tees. The association committee set
about their labor in a sensible and
practical manner. Circulars, outlin
ing the general plan, were sent to
librarians all over the eountry asking
cooperation. They were asked to sub
rait a list of boohs on certain subjects
from which a committee could not pos
sibly make a mistake in selecting one
or all.
In this way a list of 5.000 has leen
chosen. When the selections of the li
brarians had all come in the commit
tee revised and made their selections.
In turn the list they made was given
to an expert committee of three and
brought down to the specified number
of 5.D0O volumes. Then began another
brunch of the work that of obtaining
the btks from the publishers. Tin
general impression prevails ia the
minds of tho committee that the for
eign publishers did not fully under

thr-t out of the 5.000 list volumes
have brcn received. Thesu looks were
all sent to the Library Lthool at Albany
and there made ready for exhibition
at the exposition. This matter of
preparation was a difficult one. The
idea was to catalogue them prop
erly, as would be done in a completo
running library. There are, however,
many systems of cataloguing books
and the problem of which system to
adopt presented itself. It was finally
decided to use only the decimul and
the expansive systems, as beiug tho
more popular. Ilealiiing that many
thousands of people who would be In
terested in this feature of tle fair
would be unable to attend the fair, the
committee revolved upon the publica
tion of iJ.wW catalogues containing tho
complete ..(KH) list-
These citilorucs are to be mailed

brary can le heard of, und it will be so
rsanarred that any committee can se
lect such books as they desire, feelinrr
mre that they cannot go astray in
choosing from it. There arc. a certain
number of works on history; i-o many
on travel, and many of art and science,
and so on. and the published catalogue
and numbers will only have to le fol
lowed, thus doing all the difficult work
a committee ordinarily finds in this con
nection. The idea is an admirable one,
and had been carried out to perfec
tion. The 3.s00 volumes received are all
on exhibition at the fair properly
shelved, numbered and classified. Ac
cording to arrangements made with tho
publishers, the books will ail be given
to the Library school, Albany, together
with the contribution from individual
libraries. J. J. Fcllxb.
Work of Mohammedan Women.
A very beautiful case of Madras era
broideries has been installed in the
Woman's building. Apart from their
leauty interest attaches to the em
broideries from the fact that tVy are
the work of Mohammedan women of
Guntur, India, and are brought here
by the mission to be sold for the ben
efit of those women. They consist of
some fine specimens of gold and silver
embroidery on plush and serge. The
exhibit was installed by Bev. George
School, of Baltimore, secretary of the
board of foreign missions, whose
daughter. Miss Maud School, will be
in charge.

EXPOSITION ORGAN.
The ImmrnH Instrument in World' Fair
Fentivat Hall.
The organ occupies a space 2S feet in
height, 25 feet in depth and 84 feet in
width. It was built by a Detroit firm
upon specifications prepared by Clar
ence Eddy. The eleetrie key is used iu
all of the four manuals and the
'couplers'' are all electric. Four elec
tric motors furnish the wind, and
everywhere possible electricity is
brought into service.
The organ has 1H5 "stops" and 3.001
pipes, and is regarded as one of the
best exponents nf modern organ build
ing. The four manuals are Arranged
in the usual manner. The electric fluid
is controlled by the slightest pressure.
The operation of the couplers docs not
visibly affect the keys, so that there is
nothing to interfere with the finger
ing. The couplers are operated by a
row of ivory tablets over the fourth
manual or upper keyboard. They are
pneumatic and are so poised that a mo
tion of one-fourth inch will operate
them.

The "echo" organ is played from the
solo keyloard. The larger part of the
organ is inclosed in swell boxes, neces
sitating three swell pedals.
The wind pressure varies from 3V to
T inches ami the organ ha six ditTer
ent pressures.
An important characteristic of the
organ isthe large numberof diapasons,
the foundation stops. The solo stops
include, besides those ordinarily found
in large organs, several which are not
generally included. The whole tonal
structure is based upon a Si-foot dia
pason. The wood for this "stop" was
brought from Oregon, the reeds in the
solo organ came from Paris, but the
other reeds were made in this country.
A summary of the specifications is as
follows;
