might say the people who are already
here, for not only have the foreign
commissioners been in Chicago i'm
many eases for over n year. but the
workmen representing the various
governments have been hammering,
tinl<ering and hustling, each in their
native and peculiar way, for many
months.
Of all the foreign commissioners Mt
the fair his eNcellency from Brazil has
cut the most dashing figure. Marshal
Joe Simeao de Oliveira came to Chi
cago over seven months ago with a
big staff. He took rooms at the Met
ropole and began at once to make an
impression. His entertainments were
lavish. The moguls of Chicago, of
the fair management-thcy are identi-
cal-and members of other commits
sions have been dined and wined with
out stint. l believe Brazil put some
thing like $4,000 in Chicago bank
for the marshal to cut Il swath with.
Since then the new and ambitious
South American republic has added
$4,000 more to the allowance. Per-
haps there is something left, per-
haps not; but the marshal has eclipsed
everything else in sight
An indication of Brazil's determina-
ton to win the affections of North
Americans is furnished by the fact
that this was almost the only commits

DISCIPLE OF A NEW FAITH.
Mrs. Alice Bernard Talks About
Christian Science

IN Aok4oh OClbhC6s
Probably few people in Savannah have
any knowledge of what is known as
Christian science. Mrs. Alice Bernard
of No. 100 Liberty street, has been in Sa-
vannah nearly year as its representa-
tive. 1t is less than twelve years ago
that Christianity and science were con
sidered irreconcilable, and the knowledge
of this healing power, which is the pur-
pose of Christian science, was confined to
its discoverer, Mrs Mary B. G. Eddy.
and few devout students. whom she had
instructed in the revelation that had
come to her.
Speaking of the growth of Christian
science Mrs. Bernard says there are
not less than twenty-four chartered in
situations or seminaries for instruction in
the doctrines of Christ, according to what
is termed its science. Churches are
scattered throughout the leading towns
and cities. and these churches and insti-
tutions are founded upon the doctrine
that all right mindedncss is the sure basis
of healing, that all diseases equally the
product of a superinducing mental state.
Hence, to change the concious mental
state Of the patient will inevitably re-
store the sick to health
