PARIS IS PREPARING FOR
THE AMERICAN STOMACH
RESTAURANTS DE IIXE WILL BE PLACARDED so THAT LUXURY Low
ING AMERICANS CAN TELL THEM AT A GLANCE.

Paris, Aug. 15.-It is pathetic to thor
ough going Englishmen. with no taste for
sham, and to Americans with money, to
see the efforts that are being made by the
monarchy of Spain to preserve an APP
p~earance' at the Paris exposition.
''Thoroughbred' is the word you would
apply to the Spanish officials every time
They can dine ON a crust and mix water
with their wine two of water to one Of
wine. without showing it in their nan
ners. An Englishman envies the man
who can sit down in a popular" restau-
rant. and, after dining on a bowl of CUP
and black bread, stalk forth with the air
of a prince.
That may be a little overdrawn, for the
spanish representatives in Paris seem 10
be supplied With money enough, but it
gives you an idea of the pinched way
in which they are doing things for the
coming exposition. Brazil has come out
f'at-footed and declares that it cannot
afford to be represented. But Spain is
rich! The French authorities have very
generously awarded Spain a deal of space
more thar she can fill probably. but
mark my words-that which she does
not fill she will conceal. and we shall
have Spain the grand dame as usual!
The Spanish pavilion, though not elab
orately executed. is very admirable. 1t
is the Spanish renaissance. pure and
masterful. The designer is Jose UrioSto
y Velada, who is the royal architect Of
the city of Madrid. Uriosto builds new
palaces, when new ones are needed for
the workings of the city: he constructs
additions to the royal dwellings,. he de-
signs the police houses and does every
thing that comes under tho jurisdiction
of the city fathers of Spar. He is said
to be pom a salary and to have received
nothing extra for his exposition design
but the truth of this will probably never
be known The plan of he Spanish
royal pavilion was brought to Paris by
the Marquis of Villalobar. who submitted
1T. according to requirements, TO the
French commissioner general who, hav-
Ing approved. dismissed the marquis
with permission to return to Madrid. The
Duke of Sesto has charge of the Spanish
exhibits and all applications for space
must be made to him.
1t is singular, and pathetic. too. to note
that the designs for warships If all de-
scTiptions have been submitted to the
Duke of Sesto with applications for space
in which to exhibit the models of the
same which properly come under the
head of inventions. If Spain could en-
large this miniature navy, until it We're
Iife-size. she would have a mighty war
fleet without the expenditure of the
money which Senior Dupuy de LONE is
trying to raise for the purpose.
