HOW PARIS is GOVERNED.
Authority Of the Mayor and the Cit,
High Officials.

Authority Of the Mayor and the City
High Ohicials.
Let me commend the simplicity of
the organization of French municipal
government. The people elect coun-
Gil, varying in numbers according to
population upon q scale fixed by gen.
eral law. In all but the large places
the council is elected upon y general
ticket. The important cities are usu-
ally divided into sections, or large
wards, to each of which several coun-
cllorsar assigned, and the ward chooses
its councillors upon . general ticket.
The councillors hold office for four
years, and all retire together-being. OF
course, eligible for reelection. The
English and American system OF par
tial renewal annually or biennially is
contrary to French habits and ideas.
The council names the mayor,
and also his executive assist
ants, from its own membership. The
mayor is the presiding officer of the
council, as we'll as the executive head of
the municipality. His adjuncts, or
executive assistants, are designated by
their fellow councillors. In large places
these number ten to twelve, and they
have no executive duties except such as
are specifically assigned to them by the
mayor. The council holds four ordi-
nary sessions every year, each Of which
may last for fifteen days, while the one
in which the annual budget is discussed
may last for six weeks. But the mayor
may call extra sessions at any time, and
he is obliged to convene the body upon
request of majority of the councillors.
The council appoints consultative CON-
mittees which meet ad libitum between
sessions, with the mayor az nominal
chairman of each, while one Of his ad-
juncts is more usually the actual chair
man. The mayor has the appointing
power. and names the minor officials
of the commune, subject in some cases,
however, to the approval of the prefect
of the department.. With the advice OF
the council. and under the surveillance
of the departmental authorities, the
mayor executes the business OF the
commune. The council has large
authority in the levying OF taxes, au-
thorization of public works, provision
for education, etc., but in most OF these
things its decisions must be approved by
the higher authorities. - DR.. Albert
Shaw, In Century.

The much talked OF barbecue at
Rsed's Lake under the management OF
Caterer ssetland occurred yesterday
afternoon. In response 10 the announce
ment so generally made through the
papers and BY posters, the people de-
serted the city and went 10 the lake.
In spite OF the fact that the street ear
company had added several trains, and
applied all the electric power At their
command, il WAS found Impossible 10
carry the throng out as quickly as they
desired 10 20. Every car was loaded To
suifocation. but there Was not much
complaint heard, As the visitors At the
lake Sundays have come To realize that
they must stand up If they desire to go,
at least good share of them must do
so. The preliminary details had all
been perfected SO that Mr.. SHETLAND
found no difficulty in accommodating
without delay ali who came to the
feast.
A multitude congregatsd about the
gate and patiently awaited the serving
of the first clam bake. As they passed
through the gates of the old ball park,
the aroma OF roast beef. carried OH the
wings of gentle breeze, greeted their
nostrils. The appetlzlng incense caused
them 10 hasten TO seats at the long
tables, which were heavily laden with
dehcac.es innumerable. Everything
showed the artistic touch OF first
class culinary department. The CLAIMS
were perfection and the roast beef
tender as a spring chicken with the
springs" extracted. Besides the CLAIMS
and beef there were several varieties OF
Wild game, fruit, sweet potatoes, and
in fact, . larger bill of fare than can
now be remembered. The manner In
which those who partook of the elabor-
ate banquet dipped in, could not fail
to convince one that all were highly
pleased with the spread. During the
whole of the afternoon an orchestra
dlscoursed sweet, enlivening music,
which had tendency to promote the
enjoyment of eating in the open air.
The tables were reset three or four
times, although they were capable
of seating 400 al time. There was suffi-
cient for all, as bOuntlful supply had
been provided. In point of excellence
the barbecue was an unparelled sue
cess. Financially, however, it is doubt
ful wheather II netted the business men
At the lake anything or not. A large
quantity of roast beef and mutton was
eft on hand and this will be distributed
among the charitable homes III the city.
