THE GREATEST WORLDS FAIR
ATTENDED BY 7,000,000
DAILY ADMISSIONS AT WORLD’S
FAIR AVERAGE 100,000.
Number of People at St. Louis Exposi
tion During First Two Weeks of
August Totals More Than En
tire Month of May.
St. Louis, Aug. IS.—From all direc
tions the tide of travel now points to
the World’s Fair, and the constantly
increasing number of admissions en
courages the Exposition management
to believe that the attendance figures
will be up to their most hopeful esti
mate before the gates are closed on
December 1.
Sufficient evidence of the growing
popularity of the World's Fair is pre
sented in the statement that the at
tendance for June was more than
double that for May. and that the num
ber of admissions in July was nearly
a quarter of a million in excess of the
figures for the month preceeding. On
August 2 the number of admissions
needed only a few to equal that for the
first full week of the Exposition, and
the attendance for the first week of
ENTRANCE TO AUSTRIA BUILDING.
l
August was nearly as great as for the
entire month of May. 1
With 100,000 well pleased visitors
going out every day as advance agents
for the crowds that are to come, and i
with the effective denial of unfavor- ,
able reports send broadcast about the
‘.weather conditions and hotel accom- (
modations, the World’s P"air is now ]
receiving proper attention. The in- i
creased attendance has stimulated the <
life of the Exposition and the World’s
Fair has reached its full height of ,
glory and splendor. <

WEEK IN ST. LOUIS.
HOW TO SPEND SIX DAYS TO
BEST ADVANTAGE.
Suggestions Offered by Chicago Even
ing Post Writer Will Save Time,
Money and Regrets—Gives In
teresting Itinerary.
A writer in tne umeago evening
Post, “L. M. McC.,” offers the follow
ing suggestions on spending a week at
the World's Fair to best advantage.
He says:
Rooms at $1.25 and $1.50 a day, with
breakfast, are abundant. When land
ing at the union station, if undecided
about location, go at once to the bureau
of information in the station, where
lists of rooming-houses and small
hotels may be had. Choose a place
near the grounds if possible. If in
■walking distance so much the better,
as one may be independent of crowded
cars and save car fares.
It is best to have breakfast at the
boarding-house or near by, and depend
on the restaurants of the Exposition
for luncheon and dinner. I have yet
to hear of a case of extortion, and the
restaurants in the grounds are inter
esting if one chooses wisely.
Just a word about clothes. The wise
woman will wear a light-weight walk
ing suit, with dark waist—as pretty as
she choose in neckwear—and the man
tvill have a light-weight coat and get
rid of a heavy vest. White shirtwaists
ire a joy to womankind, but by mid
lay they lose their freshness and at
light they are distressing. A silk shirt
waist suit is not warm and just the
hing.
MONDAY—Oet a bird’s eye view.
Make it an outdoor day. Take a map
if the grounds and get your bearings,
rake the Intramural train at Station
, or at Station 17, the terminus, and
•ide all the way around, keeping both
■yes wide open for points of interest
loted on the map. Leaving the Intra
nural after the round trip, walk to
ward the Grand Basin and Cascade
fountains, identifying the buildings
ilong the way, drinking in the beauty,
esting near the music pavilion to hear
me or two numbers, studying the
Louisiana monument and finally climb
ng the Colonnade of States.
Statuary has greeted one on every
:ide. The artists’ names are conspi
■uous and no time is lost in taking this
walk leisurely. From the Colonnade
if States, with a map in hand, one
nay pick out the large buildings and
;et enduring impressions of the grand
er of the Exposition as a whole.
A return walk may be made to the
ight past the German buildiDg to the
Sunken garden and the imposing Gov
rnment building. But by all means !
tay out of doors one day. Take sup
icr out of doors and linger around the ]
Jrand Basin while the lights are being :
urned on. Choose a place near a band
tand and after dark take to the Pike
,nd keep out of doors. I
TUESDAY—If one is a lover of art
evote the early hours to the galleries,
’ake the Intramural to Art Palace sta
ion. Make up your mind that you i
an’t see it all and spend this morning
n the east pavilion—Sweden, Ger- j
nany, Holland, Canada, Austria. At
loon go out of doors and turn to the
eft. Take lunch on some pleasant
orch along the way—a cup of tea in
apan or Ceylon. Follow the water
/ays to the Music pavilion and flower
>eds and the Peace monument. If
our tastes so incline, walk through
lachinery and Transportation build
ngs and perhaps the Electricity build
Spend the evening on the Pike.
WEDNESDAY—Enter the grounds
it the Administration entrance, or
,ia the Intramural. Visit the Aus
rian house for art and arts craft,
he finest display of its kind on the
irounds; Holland house, a reproduc
;ion of an old Dutch house, with a
'opy of Rembrandt's “Night Watch;”
Sweden, a modest establishment of a
Hunting club; Great Britain, with its
•>ld English garden and trimmed shrub
bery, and rooms illustrating different
periods of English furnishing; Bel
gium, China, Cuba, Brazil, Nicaragua,
Slam and Mexico and the extremely in
teresting exhibit of Belgium. France
lies just across the way—a reproduc
tion of the Grand Trianon and the
Garden of Versai’1' 1 the 1 i;11
Italian temple crov.: . litop. He e
in a group is enough to occupy all
day. The United States life-saving ex
hibit, the Ferris wheel, the Forestry
and Fish and Game buildings are in
the same locality.
THURSDAY—Go direct to the Fine
Arts Palace and see Great Britain and
the Unim States pavilion. When
weary leave the Art Palace, walk to
the right, lunch at one of the out-of
door cafes, if you can afford it, in
Germany. Then visit the Palace of
Charlottenburg and spend the rest of
the day in the Education, Mines and
Government buildings. Spend the eve
ning on the Pike or in the illuminated
Palace of Fine Arts.
FRIDAY—Enter the Varied Indus
tries building and pass by degrees
CROWD AT UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT BUILDING.
through the Manufactures and Liberal
Arts buildings, and the rest c: the
day on the Terrace of the States.
SATURDAY—Make a final visit to
the Art Palace, West pavilion, France
and Sculpture court.. Take the Intra
mural to the Horticulture and Agri
cultural buildings. Jerusalem, the Boer
camp or the Philippines. The Indian
schools are extremely interesting and
well worth while. Of course when
near the Illinois building one should
register.
Personal taste naturally governs the
sightseeing and some not caring to
grasp the whole would map out just
the things of most interest to them.
FILIPINOS AHE MANY
1,300 ISLANDERS INCLUDED IN
WORLD'S FAIR, EXHIBIT.
William H. Taft, the present secretar
of war, was civil governor of the Phil
ippine Islands, he conceived the ides
that the World’s Fair at St. Louis, al
most in the center of the United
States, would offer an excellent oppor
tunity to show to the American peo
ple the wonderful resources of the
archipelago and the character of the
inhabitants. Gov. Tafi outlined a plan
for a Filipino display at St. Louis,
which has been carried out faithfully.
The Philippine Exposition is per
haps the most striking feature of the
World’s Fair. It covers a tract of 17 j
acres. There are 1,330 natives. The j
buildings number about 113, not count- ■
ing the numerous huts in the five
native villages. Because the Philip
pine display is rather isolated from
:he rest of the Fair, the average visitor
is generally amazed when he crosses
he Bridge of Spain over Arrow Head
ake, goes through the grim looking j
mtrance of the Walled City, and be
tolds the elaborate features spread out
jefore him. The cost of the Philip
tine Exposition approximates $1,600,
>00. All of this expense except $200,
100 is born by the insular government,
tnd the Filipinos are glad to contri
mte this amount to indicate the won
'ROUP OP TYPICAL COCOPA IN
DIAN'S.
Prful worth of this country and to
;et in touch with the progressive idea.
' his Philippine Exposition is a place
>f contrasts. The man who goes into
t t horoughly is amazed at the patriot
si . culture and skill of the best rep
re utatives, and at the depravity,
su; > rstition and ignorance of the sav
age tribes. Some have said this ex
position has taught that the word
'Filipino” is misleading, that there is
no standard type in the Philippines,
that the displays of fierce Moros,
naked Igorrotes, pompous Bagobos,
and monkey-like Negritos, dissipate
the idea that the Philippines are popu
lated byT a homogeneous people. This
is true in a sense, but it must be re
membered that the Igorrotes number
200.000, the Bagobos 5,000, the Negritos
23.000, and the Moros 200,000 out of a
tot population of 7,635,426. The re
mrii.ing 6,000,000 are for the most part
people with keen intellects and cul
ture, eager to grasp at any idea that
might advance them, and have accom
plished wonders with their limited
means.
As you leave the Walled City a rep
resentation of the fortifications built
by the Spaniards 300 or 400 years ago
to repel Dutch and Chinese invaders,
you face a plaza plastered with a lux
urious growth of flowers and sur
rounded by a picturesque group of
buildings. On one side is the Observa
tory, an odd-looking structure with
two spires on each side shooting sky
ward. a pattern of an observatory at
Manila. In its rear is a circular walk
within which a relief map has been
built by Father Jose Algue, a Jesuit
priest, showing in an entertaining way
the 3,014 isles and islets of the archi
pelago.
On the opposite of the plaza is the
Agricultural building, within which is
shown farm implements, mavelous na
tive houses, hemp of all kind, rice, to
bacco, coffee, copra and all other pro
ducts of the field. There you will see
long streams of hemp in fineness and
sheen not unlike the locks of some
peroxide blonde.
Nearby is a hall where stereopti
ean views are given of scenes in the
islands, and to the northeast is the
Fish and Game building, an impres
sive structure of the graceful palma
brava, thatched with nipa, its lower
end stretching over the waters of the
lake, giving the appearance of an
American boat houst
On the other side of the plaza is the
Educational building, modeled after
the Manila cathedral. Here are sam
ples of the industrial work, essays and
other things done in the Americanized
schools of the country'. There are more
than 200,000 pupils in the primary
classes of the schools in the Philip
pines alone. More English has been
taught in the three years of American
occupation than during 400 years of
the Spanish regime.
But to see the work of education
actually in progress, the visitor should
step over across a second plaza to a
snng nipa cottage, within which Miss
Pilar Zamora, a graduate of the Manila
Normal school, gives lessons daily to
about 50 little natives recruited from
the various villages. This second plaza
is bordered by the Commerce building,
the Government building, a reproduc
tion of the Ayuntamiento or capitol
building in Manila, the Educational
building, the Ethnology building, and
a decidedly foreign-looking structure,
called the Manila house, with a court,
overarching roof and windows made
from the shells of mollusk^
