The church was built in the year 1353. • This clturc41 has 2t5 altars and is the most magnificent in Lima. both internally and externally. The altars are extremely rh and of modern construction. - Conneeted with this church there is a very curious historical episode. The first site assigned to the father of the order, Fernando de la Cruz, for the Franciscan convent, was outside the city and very small. The friars applied to the viceroy, the Marquis de Canete, for a more suit- able place, and he offered to give them whatever ground they could incline to one night. Acting on this promise, the monks collected• the necessary materials, and in the short time allowed they raised four fences, one of which completely stopped up a street, now called Celle Aparicio, and thus inclosed a whole "manzana," or plot of ground 100 yards square, containing an orchard and a large pond.. The municipality c,f Lima pro- tested against this act as an encroach- meat on its rights and demanded that the street should be restored, but the e1c•el'OY had the ground in question values and paid for the same out of his own purse. —Lima Letter in Chicago [record. k THE TIMES announces the fol- lowing clubbing offers for 1900-1901 : Times till end of 190I, - Tinies and Weekly Globe, with picture, "The Can- adians at ,the Battle of F.lardeberg," till Jan.
