Show The CliiBe Cur. The war in the east may Interfere with the holding of the so called Chinese Chi-nese world's fair which has been announced an-nounced to take place this year. It is not a -world's fair in the ordinary sense of the word, since all exhibits are to be furnished by China itself, but if half the reports sent out are true it has been planned to exceed all other fairs by whatever name called. The expense is estimated at $200,000,000, and it is announced an-nounced in honor of the sixty-first anniversary anni-versary of the birth of the empress dow. ager. Apart from the main exhibition at Peking, there are to be celebrations In every town of the empira. It seems to be rather a national festival than a display of arts, manufacturers and agriculture, agri-culture, though, this part of the "fair" is planned on an enormous scale. Phil tdelpbia Lodger. |
