with great brightness , Its rays were evenly
tempered , adding Just enough warmth to the
atmosphere to make sightseeing n pleasure
Instead of a tank.
The exposition gates opened at the usual
morning hour , but during the forenoon , the
attendance ! was light However , after thn
Sunday dinner had been given tlmo to di

grounds , and from then on until after night

Music was the feature of the day and be
tween concerts , people spent their time
looking at the exhibits In the buildings , all
of whlrh were open and In condition for In
spection. In the Colonial , Fine Aria and
Government buildings during the latter
part of the afternoon there were times when
the aisles were slightly congested , so great
were the crowds.
At 3 o'clock Godfrey's band gave a sacred
concert In the auditorium. The Indian band
played In front of the Government building
at 0 , and at 7 o'clock Godfrey's band g.ivo u
concert on the Plaza. All of the concerts
were well attended and were enjoyed.
In the evening , of course , people visited
the Midway , and for a couple of hours they
patronized the attractions thuro In goodly
numbers , lingering along tno street and
around the Lagoon until well along toward
midnight.
The Exposition people are looking forward
to today with fond anticipations , as It brings
ono of the attractions which they hope will
prove to bo a strong drawing card. The at
traction will comprise the Indians from Pine
Rldgo , who will arrive this morning , and Im
mediately go Into camp. Today there will
also arrive a distinguished party of visitors ,
the members of the Alaskan boundary com
mission , who are on their way homo from
their work. This party will spend the after
noon on the grounds , the guests of the ex

"Pony" Moore writes from San Francisco
as follows regarding the Filipinos who are
to "bo an attraction at the exposition :
"Tho Filipino ahow will soon bo on Its
way to Omaha. Wo liavo thirty-five people
and they Include among their number all
kinds of actors. Wo have a Filipino woman
iwho does a magical act that Is on a par
with the magician who was at the Chinese
village last summer. She in a beauty. Ono
of the wen Is a great acrobat. Another Is a
liarp soloist Two are expert Spanish
dancers. They do this dance with the wild
abandon that marks Its genuineness. The
native Filipino dance Is a queer and hitherto
unknown dance In this country. Almost the
entire lot are .musicians and play beautifully
on mandolins , bandolines , guitars- and other
instruments. I never heard sweeter music.
The natives are handsome specimens of their
race. Intelligent and very apt. Some are
from the Interior and others from Manila.

All the Midway people did business yester
day In fact It was ono of the best days of
the season. There were many ( people upon
the street and the majority of them were
spenders.
At llagcnback's five performances to
crowded houses were given during the aft
ernoon , and double the number at night.
There was a big bill , but the black maned
Nubian lions were the star attraction. These
brutca were put In only a couple ot days
ace and are as ugly as can bo found any
where In the country. They are only par
tially trained , which fact makes It dangerous
for the trainer to go Into the ring with
them.
"Speaking of high diving , " remarked the
high diver at the High Diving carnival , "It
Is something of a dangerous occupation , but
then thcro Is some enjoyment about It. The
sensation of dropping 100 feet Is something
that cannot he described. The serious side
of tl'o whole business Is to realize that if
jou don't happen to strike the water Just
right you arc gone. It a man strikes too flat ,
the wind Is knocked out of him and thu
chances are that he Is dead. Again , if a man
happens to strike too much on one side it
means a broken'arm or n leg. "
At the Old Plantation they bad a real
camp meeting without the by-play , where
the tough usually comes In , flourishes a
razor , breaks up the gathering and tuins
the meeting Into n dance. Thr > camp meetIng -
Ing was the greatest show that ever r-ame
down the pike. All the colored people
played their parts like veterans and the
preacher delivered an address , that while It
was devout enough , was a sldcspllttcr ns
a Joke.
Few people who see the fire dance In ,
Darkness and Dawn fall to appreciate It.
In the llttlo theater a young woman dances ,
clothed In over 500 yards of gauzy material ,
which , while being whirled about her form ,
gives her the appearance of standing In a
great sea of flames. Of course the rollectlon
comes from colored lights shining through
glass , yet the Illusion Is perfect.
At the Streets ot Cairo the morning was

evening there was the regular performances
of the streets , everything moving with snap
and hang. During the past few days Colonel
Nlncl has added a number of new features
to his show , including additional dances In
the theater and acrobatic fetes In the streets.
In the deep sea diving tank a large num
ber of fish have been added to the attraction
and notwithstanding the fact that these finny
creatures have met Captain Sorcho numerous
times , every tlmo he goes beneath the sur

The newsboys of Omaha enjoyed their an
nual outing Sunday afternoon and evening at
Anheuser-Busch park. Every vender of
newspapers who could possibly by hook or
crook get out thcro was present early and
stayed laic , and there was fun on tap from
the moment they got Into the gale until
the valves of the park closed for the last
time , late at night. U was a picnic In
which youthful enthusiasm was never for a
moment absent. Everything was done with
a briskness and a businesslike manner ,
characteristic of the boys who cry the pa
pers on the street each morning and even-
Ing.
Ing.Mogy
Mogy , the king of the nowabojs , was
there and ho came early and was the last
to leave. Ho was everywhere on the grounds ,
seeing lo It that no boy , however little ,
went away without having all he could cat
nnd drink , Sandwiches were provided In
abundance and there were other good things
to cat and lemonade and pop flowed like
water The boys were furnished with tick
ets that entitled them to everything 'free '
I and the capacity of some of the lads tvni
a , wonder to the older generation , who bar
forgotten what it was to ho a toy.
Sam Morris was there at a refreshment
booth and he dispensed the liquid refresh
ments to all comers with a lavish hand , niu
his popularity was assuredly ono of the
chief features of the picnic.
There were games , races , pie nnd water
melon-eating contests , dancing contests am
many other amusements. An orchestra fur
nished lively music and the newsboys , with
their best Girls , enjoyed many a whirl on
the dancing platform before they went home
The watermelon and pie contests affordei
much amusement to the onlookers , as the
lads who entered made away with the eat
ables In such a surprisingly short tlmo am
In such quantities as to make the spcctatoss
think they were hollow from the mouth to
the feet.
There was a good crowd present and II
was an orderly one. Two blucoats pa
trolled tne grounds , but they simply wnlkec
about and were not called upon lo exercise
any aulhorlty. Afler the boys had exhaustei
every other amusement and their exuber
ance was still unchecked they took the
benches In the garden and placing their
ends upon the tables they used them for the
purpose of "shooting the chutes , " as they
termed it.
A regular program had been mapped oul
for the amusement of all and It was carriei
out without Interruption with the exception
of the pleasing interpolation of dancing
numbers. A game of ball between the News
boy's nine and the Chicago Kids was also
a part of the fun. The score was 20 to 1-
In favor of the Newsboys. Milder ani
Hardy were the battery for the victors am
Mazzle and Glover for the losers. Mogy
was umpire.

Moran. a well known and popular baker of
Petersburg. Va. "We ave given It to our
children when troubled with bad coughs ,
also whooping cough , and It has always
given perfect satisfaction. It was recom-

cough medicine for children , ns it con
tained no opium or other harmful drugs. "

Uncle Sam's official flag will fly officially
for the first time from the new postoffico
building this morning. A flag has been
bhow n from the staff for several weeks past
but It was a private flag and not recognized
toy the government. The removal from the
old postofllco to the new was made Satur
day night In good shape , and yesterday the
office force was busily engaged In setting
things to rights While handicapped on ac
count of the lack of furniture , the malls
will be handled with as little delay as pos
sible.
Yesterday noon was the first time the
office was open to the public , and the dis
continuation of the Sunday delivery service
in the business portion of the city addet
considerably to the number who called at
the office for mall. Many favorable com
ments on the beauty of the new building
were heard , and the people appeared pleased
to see the postofflce moved into commodious
quarters of Its own.
The building has a frontage on Twenty-
fourth street of ninety leet , and on M street
of seventy feet. , From the curb line to the
top of the balustrade Is forty-seven feet
and the golden t > all at the top of the flag
staff is seventy-eight feet above the side
walk. The lobby , floored and wainscoted
with marble , Is forty-eight feet in length
and twelve feet in width. At the north end
of the lobby is the money order office , a
room eighteen feet square , while at the
south end Is an ornamental vestibule with
doors opening onto M street. The post
master's room Is 16x20 feet , at the south end
of the lobby. A work room behind the
screen , 48x48 feet , gives plenty of room for
the handling of mall matter , while alcoves
on the north and south ends of the work
room add considerable floor space. In the
money order department the work room Is
10x20 feet.
The height of the first story is nineteen
feet , whire that of the second Is twelve feet.
This second floor , to be usea by the Bureau
of Animal Industry , has been cut up Into
eight rooms of an average size of 18x22 feet.
A handsome revolving door admits Ihe
public from Twenty-fourth street , while two
largo solid oak doors open from the vesti
bule on the south to M street. The Interior
finish is of oak , highly polished. Every
thing In the building Is of the beet material
and the workmanship Is unexcelled.
Fire CliIffM * Union.
One day last week the file chiefs of the
city held a meeting at the Exchange build
ing and perfected on organization which
Is known na the Tire Chief's association.
The packing houses and the stock yards
company each maintain a flro department
Independent ot the city department , nnd
it was for the purpose of bringing the
chiefs closer together that the association
was formed. Fred M. Smith , chlet of the
South Omaha fire department , was chosen
president , and Charles J. Collins , local su
perintendent of the Omaha Water company ,
was selected ns secretary. The object of
the association Is to facilitate the response
to alarms nnd to thoroughly understand the
signals blown on the packing house whistles.
Under the existing arrangement the pack
ing houses and the stock yards will nave ,
the same system of signals which can read
ily be understood. Until this organization
was perfected each concern had its own
signals , and this frequently resulted in
confusion ,
When there is a fire at a packing house
now , the alarm will bo sounded on the
whistle , but the flro departments at the
other pocking houses nnd at the stock yards
will not turn out until a second alarm Is
sounded , Then all ot the departments will
turn out , and make the run. The city de
partment will not turn out on whistle
alarms , but will wait for the regular box
call.
Another good feature of the organization
U the arrangement for transportation of
firemen. Supposing that there is a flre nt
Swift's or Hammond's , ono of the stock
yards snitch engines will be sent to Cud-
ohy's to bring the firemen stationed at that
; > lant to the scone. On the other hand , If
3udahy needs help , an engine will carry
Swift's nnd Hammond's men to the fire ,
This will do away with the making of long
runs by the men , and they will be much
setter prepared for service when arriving
at the blaze.
Regular trips will be made once a month
by the flre chiefs to all the packing houses
o note any alterations or changes in the
ocation of slalrs. trap doors or doorways.
In this way it In hoped to thorouhgly ac
quaint the flro chiefs with the interior con
struction ot all the plants. Much better
service can be given under this new sys-
em than under the old way , where every
Ira compauy worked independently of the
other.
