TIrE PURCHASING or THE STE AMER FL CID AND
or HoTCHKIss GUNS LOOKS LIKE HELP
For TIE BELEAGrERED nRNZIIIAN

FOR THE BELEAGrERED BRAZILIAN
Although for nearly week rumors In regard TO
the purchase OF arms and ammunition for the use
of the contending parties in Brazil have been cur
rent In this city real confirmation of them has
yet been obtained. Nevertheless. 1t Is practically
certain that large sales OF arms have been made
by the Hotchkiss Gun Company through Charles
r. Flint & CO., to either peixoto Me!lo. The
Pratt q Whitney Company. OF Hartford Conn,
makers OF Hotchkiss guns have recently shipped
all their stock to New-Yorls. probably to Flint x
CO. That the buyers do not mean TO content
themselves with arms alone is made probable by
the sale OF the Morgan Line steamship III cd to
Flint a. CO.. il IS believed There Is also a mys-
terous Brazilian admiral. Cordovlc Maurtz. who
has been staying at the Brunswick Hotel, IN inns

\. v. LE FEVRE, D. D. 5.

The unanimity with which the lead.
ing papers of the country have enthus-
iastically praised that enterprise known
as "The Chicogo Spectatorium," of
Chicago, would seem to indicate that it
is indeed a long way beyond anything
of that kind ever seen. The Chicago
Herald summed it up in line by saying,
"People will one day talk of it as the
most fascinating feature OF the Fair"
The Inter. Ocean says: "All were ready
to agree that this Spectatorio would be
to art what the Eiffel Tower was to en-.
cheering The Times in line related:
"There was promise of the most start
ling novelty the world ever saw" Trib.
une in alluding to it spoke of it as
natural effect" and called the things
seen wonders. The Chicago Erening
Post characterized it as a wonderful
creation which in many minds would
rival the Worlds Fair itself. The Globe
said that the model even surpassed
many spectacular plays given on large
stage and called the enterprise "a mar
velous thing" and said, "the production
would be the most advanced realization
of realism combined with a perfection
of the ideal" The Illinois Staats Zeituag
said "It will, without doubt, be one
of the grandest sights which was ever
given to the public" The Louisville
Courier Journal alludes to it as "a re.
markable combination of science and
art at Chicago, whose splendor will
eclipse anything you ever before wit
nessed," and the Commercial Gazette, of
Louisville calls it "a wonderful work of
creative genius; feature that will rival
the Worlds Fair itself, surprising the
most splendid achievements OF the
modern stage" The Detroit Free Press
said it would be "one of the most prom.
inent attractions OF the West and its
object is to make an alliance between
nature and art"
