A COMFORTING FACT.
Is the Art Instinct that Presaged the Fairs
Value.

1t is very comforting fact that the art
instinct in this country presaged the value
the great exposition would have to the
| American public and prepared to per-
petuate it in faithfully executed pictures.
| This work was concientiously done, aud in
Sleeps Worlds Fair Photographed" our
portfolios are instinct with a wealth OF
outline and detail that is marvellous.
| 1t can be truthfully SAID that the work is
one which amply satisfies the minds of the
most critical in all its parts. The views are
done in that splendid way that have made
the Sleeps famous the world over, and the
hibits is all that the most eXacting can
ask. No Photographic work that may be
put forth for the acceptance of the Amer
lean people will have anything like the
merit of this splendid volume OF more
than 500 pages and nearly 260 views taken
by the best experts with the camera in the
world. 1t will be issued by the EAGLE in
parts in the same manner as 1.-The Sights
and Scenes of the World" that has been
running for the past three weeks.
It has the further merit of being officially
Endorsed by the Worlds Fair manage
ment as the best and only authorized series
of photographic views in existence. This
is buttressed By the opinions of newspap-
ers in all parts of the country, whose ed
itors uuhestatingly yield it the palm in
every respect. Some of them single out
special views as works that are phe Iome-
naily fne specimens OF the Photographic
art, and recommend the book to their
readers as the very best memorial volume
of the fair that has been brought to their
attention.
The Philadelphia Item" considers it
ian immensely valuable and important
souvenir of the greatest exposition the
world ever held" and the Milwaukee Sun
comedies that every detail of the work is
of the best" The Saginaw, tMcb.) Even
ing News thinks it us by far the best book
pertaining to the Columbian exposition"
Senator Teller, of Colorado, thinks 1T
is certainly beautiful souvenir of the fair
and a splendid specimen of the art pre-
sentative" Senator Daniels, of Virginia,
prizes his volume very highly" and says
"the book is a work Of art while Cover
nor MacCorkle, of West Virginia, deems
the volume worthy a place in every fist
class library" Ex-President Harrison
has copy of this splendid book, and so
have Thomas A. Edison, the electrical
wizard. Secretary Gresham, and many
other men of prominence and who know a
good thing in art when they see it.
This is high praise, for the country is alb
solutely flooded with Photographic souve-
Mrs of the exposition. and newspaper peo-
pie have had cart loads OF them dumped
upon their tables for inspection. The
"Acadian Record" of Halifax. y. s, calls
it "a book no. only for the present, but
for the generations TO come" The True
American in speaking OF it says: 1--WE
are doing our readers and the public a
service by calling their attention TO it." A
voice from the Mississippi river from the
Office of the Davenport, lows, Demo
GRAFT" exclaims: Months OF reading will
nos give so intelligent an idea OF the beauty
and ysstuess OF the worlds fair as this
book
