A NEW MARK TWAIN STORY.
Accounts for the standardization of
q Carefully PrennreI In1erXic1X.

There is a certain editor in New York,
relates the Saturday Evening Post, with
whom the power of the daily press is such
a hobby that he raised the salary of a sub
editor who suggested a Sunday special"
on Famous Graduates Of the Reporters
Room" and at once assigned his best
dressed reporter to interview leading au-
thors along this line. 1t happened that
Mark Twain was in New York, and the
editor counted on him as a striking ex-
ample of the literary value of newspaper
training. The reporter was ordered to spare
no space for the interview. Yet when the
article appeared Mr.. Clemens name was
conspicuously absent. 1t was this way:
Mr.. Clemens received the reporter with
his customary urbanity, though he shrugged
his shoulders when he learned what paper
the young mar represented. As usual, Mr..
Clemens was a most elusive man to pin
down in an interview, but at last the re-
porter gathered his wits and asked the
question which he meant should point his
article.
"Mr. Twain" he asked, "to what one
thing most of all do you owe your marvel
Gus success in literature?" He had counted
on my newspaper training as the answer.
The famous humorist half shut his eyes,
thought a few moments in silence, and then
said decisively:
TO the fact that when / was young and
very ambitious ! lost my job"
May | ask what was your job, Mr..
Twain" exclaimed the puzzled reporter.
Certainly, sir; certainly" replied Mr..
Clemens with great suavity. Il was a re-
porter

high, will rise majestic on the banks of the
Seine a little below the Alma bridge. Its
site now is utterly bare except for the pleas
ant fiuttering of American flags. Whatever
may have been the feeling of France toward
America at the time of the Spanish-Amer-
lean war, and whatever may be the general
sentiment Of the people of France toward
the people of America now, France has GER
tainly shown the greatest desire to be agree
able to our commissioner and generous to
our exhibitors. Notwithstanding differing
reports concerning the amount Of space al
lotted to America by the Paris managers, the
fact remains that America has been given
a larger floor area than any other one ex-
hibiting nation, and when the space on
which our pavilion will stand was dedicated
in the presence of Commissioner Peck and
his staff the Frenchman in charge turned
CCurteously to the commissioner and said:
Gentlemen, you are on American soil, you
need not cross the ocean to be in your ma
tive land. France welcomes the presence of
this small piece OF American territory as it
ever has and ever will welcome the citizens
OF your country"
The American Exhibits.
The American pavilion will have a floor
area of 75X90 feet. There will be four
stories and aside from the Offices OF the
commissioner general and his stan of twelve
commissioners for 1900 the building will be
practically a home for visiting Americans.
There will be reading rooms, resting rooms,
smoking rooms, toilet rooms, a bureau for
guides endorsed by the commissioner, a
branch OF the New York Chamber OF Com
merce, facilities for exchanging money and
offices of American express companies. Even
with all these things there will be space left
TO be utilized. II is probable that this will
be divided into rooms for separate states
and groups of states, in which one of the
pleasantest features will be complete files of
home papers,
! asked Commissioner Woodward what he
thought would be the finest American ex-
hibit.
Probably machinery and electricity" he
replied. II expect America TO take more
space in those sections than in any other.
In one field, which was at the beginning es-
s~entially French, We have made marked in
roads. Our exhibit of American automo-
biles Will be extremely fine.
Another and very gratifying exhibit viii
be that which our painters will make. Our
share OF the art section will unquestionably
be a revelation to France, There is some

ships are carrying as many passengers as
they will hold. During the latter part OF
May, all Of June, and thus far this month,
almost every steamship coming to Europe
from America had every berth full. The
actual carrying capacity of the regular lines
sailing from New York. Philadelphia and
Boston for three months would be about
$500 first cabin. The same boats will
carry about $1,000 second cabin passengers.
This will make a grand total of 102, 700 per-
sons. 1t is probable that by the charter OF
boats which during the ordinary season do
not ply regularly on these lines an addi-
tional carrying capacity of about 10, 900 will
be secured. These figures are not far from
accurate. They have been kindly furnished
90 me by Edwin II. Low of New York and
London, who knows as much as any one
man about steamships and ocean travel.
1t is improbable that there will be any
large increase in the rates of passage. The
steamship lines, Of course, would be ex-
tremely glad If it were possible for them
to charge more than usual, but they will
probably be held down to the ordinary rates
by the competition of the specially char
tered ships. All the companies are looking
forward to a particularly large second cabin
patronage. There will be thousands OF
people coming across the ocean for the ex-
position who ordinarily can not afford the
money for travel. These people are likely
TO be economical in their expenditure for
passage, saving their money to spend at the
exposition.
1t is fair to estimate that the average price
paid for a first cabin passage will be $40.
Rates will range from $50 for inside state
rooms on the slow ships to $65 for the very
cheapest rooms on the fast boats. On the
big liners there will be no rate under sos
for first cabin and very few berths will be
for sale at that price. From it the passage
prices will run up to 5000 for a single per-
son in the best staterooms and as high as
$3.50 for those few luxurious passengers who
are willing to pay for the privilege of being
alone In the finest cabins. Second cabin
passages will run about as it does now, from
$40 to $40.
Living Expenses.
Now as to the matter of expense after
reaching Paris.
There will be, as there always Is, a choice
of three modes of living in the French
capital. One will be in hotels. of course.
One win be zen pension" OF In boarding
houses. The third will be in "chambres
meubles' or furnished rooms, taking meals
outside. The Partisan hotel varies as widely
In its price as do the New York hotels.
In the grand new Palace hotel, which has
recently been erected on the Champs Elysee
and is the most beautiful hostelry in the
world, rates now range from $3.50 to $40
per room per day. This, of course, does not
Include meals. The cost of meals at the
Palace is about 81 for breakfast. $3.50 for

| spoken, of the Hotel Du Rhin Ia hosiery
into which one can not gain admittance
without strong letters of introductory, and
| others. American and English people have
already begun to make arrangements. In
| at least one pension nearly every room has
been disposed of for the exposition year.
| An interesting enterprise which Is under way
was devised by an American artist. He Is
| arranging to charter entire one of the small
Partisan hotels for the whole exposition
season, and the low rates which will result
will be available only to working artists and
writer's.
With these figures at hand 1t will not be
difficult to form an estimate of about what
the lowest cost of a comfortable trip to the
Paris exposition and maintenance while here
will cost. Take the lowest first cabin figures
$50 each way-that gives 800 for steamer
tickets. to which must be added $40 for tips
and expenses on the steamer, making IN All
Sl20 for transportation over and back on a
ten-day boat. In Paris, as / have already
explained, about the cheapest way OF living
respectfully would be in a furnished room,
taking meals outside. In this way IL francs
a day, or about $3.50 can be made to cover
the cost of maintenance. Tickets to the eX-
position will cost 5 francs. or 81 each

Portable. Paris, gay and beautiful at It's
worst. will be at its best and Will be gayer
and more beautiful than ever. The expo
sition will neither begin nor end with the
exposition grounds. This will TO a large
extent be due to the fact that, unlike our
Worlds fair at Chicago. the grounds of the
great Paris show are located almost in the
heart Of the most beautiful part OF the city.
The same French government which VIII
call out Is 900 men to protect its president
when he goes to the races will not hesitate
to appropriate large sums for the decoration
of the city. outside of the exposition grounds.
l had a talk with an artist who was present
with me at the queens jubilee in London
In 1897. The English street decorations
along the route of the parade were then said
TO have been the most beautiful and eX-
pensiye the world had ever seen. This ar
tn. who Is now engaged in preparing some
of the designs for the French decorations,
tells me that there will be thirty miles OF
Sreets more beautifully decorated han any
were in London, and that the decorations
will not be for a day, but planned to remain
in good condition for the entire summer.

been constructed of solid stone, without any
of the subterfuges usually resorted to in eX-
position buildings, and are planned to re-
main permanent after the Paris show of 1900
has passed into one of the memories of the
great French capital. From the same vast
subterranean tract In which the Catacombs
grin gloomily horrid beneath the city, the
stone for these buildings has been excavated
in tremendous blocks, soft and almost as
workable as clay. Before the exposure to
the air hardens 1t this pleasant sandstone
can be easily carved into those delightful
designs of which the French scufptors are
so thoroughly the masters. You can saw
this stone with cross-cut saws as they saw
logs in the forests of Michigan. You can chip
1t with axes as the American carpenter chips
his timber with his adze. 1t is scarcely less
easy TO handle than wood is and has the

ings are being constructed shines and gilt.
tiers blindingly from the white dust of this
strange stone.
Famous xan Bridge.
These buildings form a group by them
selves and between them will be the be-
ginning OF the exposition's great avenue.
From them it will reach to the Alexander
bridge, a magnificent structure of iron and
carved stone, more than twice as wide as
any other bridge in Paris. This bridge Is
the very climax of the Russian frenzy
which oppressed Paris two years ago. when
the car paid his respects to the French
capital. Its ironwork and it's stonework
are full of designs and symbols indicating
the fact that 1t was planned in honor of the
ear. France Is somewhat uncertain in its
foreign relations with the balance Of the
world and what IL would do with this
marvellous bridge in case the cordiality now
existing between herself and Russia should
suddenly cease is an interesting matter for
speculation.
Not far above it a great embankment has
been built out into the Seine. which will
carry one of the most interesting groups of
buildings in the entire exposition. These
will represent old Paris. Succeed and
brown-beamed, high peaked and quaint, they
will show the visitor Of next year a glimpse
OF the Paris which Hugo and Dumas
wrote about, the Paris where every man
needed to go armed TO avoid assassination,
the Paris In which the nations rulers were
changed as easily as the Partisan of today
changes his coat, the Paris where intrigue
