Medieval Paris Reproduced.

The plans for "Old Paris" were made
by the eminent artist Robida, who has
here undertaken, with the aid of many
old documents, the most picturesque
edifices of the French Capital of times
gone by. aia
BY means of an embankmentsextend
ing out into the Seine, the space avail
able was enlarged to a grand total Of
5000 square meters. The panoramic
view of the scheme shows the general
effect, and among the actual recon
structions contemplated we may cite
the Porte st. Michael, the birthplace of
Moliere; the Bureau of Information of
Theophrasto Renando, founder of the
first French journal; the Place du Pre-
aux -Cleros; and the Tower of the
Louvre, the Grand Chatelet, the Rue
des vielles Ecoles, etc, etc. In word,
it is proposed to recall, in it's popular,
commercial, or Industrial aspect, the
life of Parisians during the seventeenth
century, in the setting and costumes of
that time-Jacques Boyer in the En-
gineering Magazine.

Life With a Pistol.

REDDING, July 23.-A suicide under
peculiar conditions occurred in the
suburbs of Redding this morning.

shop, met an old acquaintance, chatted
for half an hour, hung up his overcoat
and said he would get breakfast ana

a search for him proved fruitless. 1t

a mile below Redding. At daylight
Major Jones found Pfarr dead by the
roadside with pistol in his hand and

The Air Bath.

The benefits to be derived from an oc-
casional air bath for the skin are, un-
doubtedly, great. 1t is natural for
the sun and air to obtain free access
to the skin, but in civilized life it is
seldom that they have a chance to do
so In many cases, it has been noted
that uncivilized tribes. who have been
accustomed to going about in a state
of absolute or partial nudity, have de-
generated physically after being taught
to wear civilized clothes, and in some
cases have died off from lung diseases

to stop, but too late to prevent the
accident.
No one was dangerously injured.

LATE ROBERT INGERsoLL.
Many People Take Last Look
Upon the Remains.


NEW YORK, July 23.-The body of
Robert G. Ingersoll lay in an impro-
vised bier in the bedroom in which he
died at the home of Watson H. Brown,
his son-in-law. in Dobb's Ferry. To-
day many men of all sorts and condi-
tions, but mostly humble toilers, made
the pilgrimage to Dobb's Ferry in the
hope that they might be permitted to
gaze once more on the noted agnostic
In no instance was the request refused
No arrangements whatever have yet
been made concerning the funeral. Mrs.
Ingersoll and her daughters. Mrs.
Brown and Miss Maude Ingersoli, are
still too much overcome with sorrow
to consider the matter. ''They cannot
tear themselves from the beloved dead"
said Mr. Farrell tonight. "They have
not left the chamber since he passed
away, except to go into an adjoining
room when visitors who wished to see
him called. They cannot reconcile,
themselves to the idea that they must
part with him, and all illusions to the
removal Of the body only causes dis
tressing outbursts of grief. It may be
a few days before they are calm enough
to discuss the steps that necessarily
soon must be taken for the removal Of
the body"
Mr.. Farrell expressed the conviction
that the body will be cremated. If it is
not it will be buried in Sleepy Hollow
Cemetery, at Tarrytown, where Wash.
ington Irving rests. If any funeral SER
vices are held, it is expected that John
Clark Ridpath will deliver the eulogy
At the request Of the family, George

Christian era, and it was covered for
nineteen centuries. by the encroaching
sand.
Ostia is sixteen miles from Rome, at
the mouth of the Tiber, and dates back
to the time of the Emperor ANGUS
