PRAISE FOR THE WORLDS FAIR.
The British Attorney General Expects II
To BE q Great Success.


To BE q Great Success.
LONDON, Nov 19.-At the opening of
the l3sth session of the Society OF Arts
Attorney General Webster said that the
society would insure that England would
be- worthily represented at the Chicago
Worlds fair. America would not be
worthy of her great traditions il she cid
not accept the challenge to equal and
surpass the European exhibitions of the
past. In selecting Chicago for the place
for the fair America had exercised a wise
discretion. Rivalry as to the site had
long vanished, and the speaker was conf
dent that all Americans would unite to
make the fair the greatest in the worlds
history.
Wants of Western Miiiionaires.
A wealthy class was rapidly growing in
the western cities, who were only begin
ming to acquire ideas of luxury and re-
fnement, and must depend largely for
their education in that respect on coun-
tries Of the older world. The Chicago fair
would be great educator in that respect.
The remarks of the attorney general were
listened to with great interest by the dis.
tihguished audience.

May Explain the Brazil Troubles

LONDON, Nov. ia dispatch from
Montevideo says that the clergy are active
ly agitating in Brazil in favor of the
restoration of Dom Pedro. The clergy
are greatly dissatisfied with the Fonseca
government for having abolished the con-
nection between church and state, and
although the government still pays sal
aries to the existing functionaries of the
church, yet they are not sure that even
this sustenance will long continue. Be
sides, since the separation of church and
state, other sects have come to the front
much more boldly than during the impe-
rial regime.

German Day Promises to be the
Greatest Festival San Antonio.
Will Have During the Year.

Although the event is five months,
ahead, much of the important business
connected with the celebration has been
thoroughly done. Capt Schramm has
been indefatigable in his work, pushing
every detail of the business.
Last evening at business meeting of
the gentlemen in charge OF the affairs of
the celebration, the contract was approx
ed for the 16 floats to be built especially
for this occasion.
Capt. Schramm then displayed the de-
signs for the IL floats, and for richness
and artistic design we can safely say that

mains to be solved. But there is scarce
ly any doubt about the fact that it can be
raised.
The programme may embrace the tab
leauX OF the sinking of the continent of
Atlantis, If enough money is subscribed to
secure the magnificent scenery
which Capt. s. says can be had
for $1,000. This programme could be
heightened to second day and thus give
the thousands who will come to our city,
chance to remain longer and be enter
tanned.
The German Day is sure thing, let it
be made the greatest occasion of the year
by liberal subscriptions.
