Dispatches indicate an advance in the price of coffee at Rio Janerio. the centennial exposition. Sale of “Conce**ion.” Speaking of the sale of concessions ou the Centennial grounds, we take the following from a list in the Her ald: For instance, one man has offered $50,000 for the privilege** of sweeping * out the Exhibition buildings, guaran teeing to pay all bis help and to keep the fifty odd acres of flooring in the building perfectly cleaned. One can not but admire the ingenuity and bus. iness foresight of this man, as a little calculation will show that by a small charge to each exhibitor for keeping his space clean, and by being peT*mi(t. ed to retain money ar.d valuables found in bis sweepings, this enterpris* ing individual might make a very good thing out of the concession, notwith standing the high price. This propo sition!-- . -i. y t b.-eii auv pled by the committee, who Ge e some doubt as to the propriety of allowing it. ANOTHER. Neither can wo help wondering at the ingenuity and apparent, reckless ness of the man who has paid $12,-000 for the txclu -ive privilege of hiring out rolling, or Bath, chairs to visitors to the exhibition at fifty cents an hour. He has also agreed to pay S4O on each chair over 300 whioh he employs. It is estimated that 150 more than this will be $6,000, making SIB,OOO for this privilege alone. “ice cold soda“ 'Another muu, with every confidence that we shall have a. hot summer, has given $30,000 for’tho right to dispense soda water during the six months of the fnr. He will also pay twenty cents on every gallon sold, which roy. alty will reach, it is thought, $32,000, so that the soda wated man will have to pav to the Centennial fund about $62,000. PUBLIC COMFORT DEPARTMENT* The sum of $20,000 has been paid for the privilege of forming and con trolling the Department of Public Comfort, The company is required to put up a building 100 feet, to cost not less than SIO,OOO. This is to be used for waiting • rooms for visitors and as reading and writing rooms for ladies and gentlemen, and no charge will be allowed The Company will also have offices and messengers in many portions of the buildings and grounds, and will be allowed to charge moderately for the care of packages, parcels travellers luggage, umbrellas, canes, etc., for which they will give checks, and to sell newspapers and periodicals, but not exclusive of the rights of other newsmen. There will be messengers and a system of tele graph to be used by the Public Com* fort Department, which will be of great service to visitors. For instance a party of travelers entering tire exhi bition at one entrance may give ord* ers to have their luggage and tickets ready for them at another gate at a certain hour, or they may telegraph to have their luggage sent to a cert ain hour, or they may telegraph to have their luggage sent to a. certain point to meet them. All these re quirements the Public Comfort De partment will atteud to with many other little services, such as giving information as to localities and objects of interest. It will be a most useful adjunct to the great fair it properly con ucted- A HOTEL CONCESSION. The Globe Hotel is a large struct* ure erected just outside of the princi* pal enlrruce to the grounds, for Cen tennial accommodations. It contains 1,800 rooms, cau lodge and feed 3,000 people, and is said to be largest hotel m the world. About one,half the ground on which it stands belongs to the city, and is now controlled by the Centennial Commission. The con cession to build thereon was obtained for $10,500 —a comparatively small sum. HESTAriIANTS. There will be six restaurants within the Exhibition grounds, all in special buildings to be erected by the owners of the concession, which cost $6,000 for each establishment. These struc tures will be of the handsomest des ign and construstion, none of them to cost less thanslo,ooo, and as high as $50,000. The names of the res* tanrents are as follows; —P. Sudrean, of New York, French restaurant; E. Mercer, of Atlanta, Ga, “The South,** a palatial club house, and the head quarters of Southern visitors; L. Goy ard, Les Trois Freres Proveneaux, the famous P ris'an restaurant, R. J. Dauber, of Philadelphia, a German restaurant on a large and complete scale; Tobiason <fc Heilbrum, the Amer ican Restaurant, the building to cost $50,000.

A peanut man has offered 81,000 better to peddle his p’epian fruit, but the committee thought, when the weight}- question was* considered, that all the world scrunching peanuts at once would make too many shells, and the application was rejected and the applicant is dejected. ROYALTIES. Besides the concessions above named, the list of w hich can be Vouch ed for as correct, there will be an in come from royalties. Ten cents per gallon will be charged upon all malt liquors brought into the grounds dur ing the continuance of the exhibiiion for restaurants or elsewhere. The revenue from this, it is estimated, will be at least $50,000. EDGE HOUSE. (Formerly JReeves' Hotel.) I HAVE removed to this large and commodious .
