will doubtless be the order of the season
to the great dissatisfaction of large
proportion of the natives The authori-
ties declining to act on the various pro-
tests received against liquor selling on

No. 81 positively closes the buildings
against the public from May Sth till the
opening. This was rendered positively |
necessary by the curious crowd who Sc
riously interfered with the work. Even
now to the uninitiated observer the main
building is one great Babel of noise and
confusion in reality, however, the work
is progressing orderly and rapidly. Since
my last, much has been done toward the
completion of the big international vii
lage which the main building contains.
The entrance to the Chinese pavilion is
completed, and is fine specimen of what

that Baltimore enthusiast has a plan
for Illuminating the city and grounds on
the evening of that browning festival
by means of big calcium lights suspend
ed by balloons at sufficient altitude.
The idea may not be very practical, but
the effect would be fine if it could be
produced. The brilliant white light,
lowering above the cradle of freedom,
might well be taken for the star of new
and higher destiny of our country in the
century to come. There is no copyright
on the fOregOing) Just how the moon
would take this usurpation of her pecu-
liar functions is quite another matter.
The Emperor and Empress of Brazil
