'sOLD PARIS" AT THE FAIR.
Ree0nstraetion Of the City of the sew
enteenth Century an Inter
esting Feature.

One Of the most interesting Of the
private enterprises at the exposition in
Paris in 1900 will be the reconstruction
Of 'Old Paris" Already the turrets,
gables and scaffolding reveal the gen.
eral ensemble Of the several historical
Quarters and buildings Of the Paris
Of the seventeenth and eighteenth cen
turtles.
The idea is to reproduce streets Of the
time Of Louis XIII. and XIV. and TO
people them with the costumes and
dresses Of the period. The "Old Paris"
will be built on piles and will extend on
the Seine from the Alma bridge to the
Jena bridge on a surface, part concrete
and part wood, Of 10000 square feet,
with a frontage on the river Of $50 feet.
The part OF the "old Paris" imme-
diately owe the Seine will be supported
by 900 piles at a height Of 10 feet above
high water mark. The principal en-
trance will be of the Alma bridge. 1t
will be q reproduction OF the old St.
Michael gate. Past the st. Michael gate
the traveller will come 10 n square, the
famous Pre-aux-Clercs, the meeting
place Of the duellsts of the time OF Louis
VIII. OF the Pre-aux-Clercs to the left
will be the monastery OF Chartreuse du
Luxembourg, founded by St. Louis and
destroyed during the revolution. I'm
mediately opposite will be the three
steepled ediAce Of the Parloir-aux-
Bourgeois, the city hall Of the middle
age, and "A little farther ON is a tower
OF the old Louvre.
From each side Of the Pre-aux-Clercs
a street will lead to a second square.
where the Cluny cloister will be found.
together with the Pilon Of st. German
des Pres and various other picturesque,
old-time edifces. In one Of these,
called the poets Garrett" a theater
will be built, where old-time plays will
be acted.
The two streets will be known as the
Rue des Ramparts and the Rue des
Vieilles-Ecoles, The last named will
contain a number of famous houses.
among others the paper hanging shop
OF ~Poquelin, where Moliere was born;
the house of Nicolas Flannel, that Of
I~heophraste Renandot, and that OF the
Euenne. A third square, the Place ST.
pulien, will have on one side the little
church Of st. Julien des Menetiers and
on the other the old and beautiful
chamber of accounts, built in the six
tenth century and burned in the
eighteenth. Behind the chamber of ac-
counts will be the Grand Cour de Paris.
on which will face some famous private
residences of old Paris, such ms the
Hotel des Ursius, the Hotel CoKgny and
the famous Pont au Change, DESTROYED
by fire in 1921, and the prison OF the
Grand Chatelet, where they will serve
beer and Sandwiches, instead Of wafer
and black bread.

Our Railroad Meeting.

Mayhem Progress.
On July 18th there was a railroad
meeting held in Chiles' hall, of the
citizens of MAYHEM aud vicinity. The
meeting was called TO order, aud John
W. White was elected chairman, and
rhos. I. Pickett secretary. The chair
man introduced Mr.. Geo. Wilson, OF
Lexington, who stated the object of the
meeting, which was to see il the people
here would interest themselves enough
to assist in helping to encourage a
north and south railroad, which he is
trying to get through south from Lex
ington. Lexington will raise 500 900,
and by using this amount and giving
first mortgage bonds on the road, 1t
can be built. 1t was not the original
Intention to ask MAYHEM for any
money or help, but that steel rails and
railroad material has advanced to such
a degree that they were compelled to
ask MAYHEM to assist in the enterprise.
Mayhem is asked TO help in getting the
right Of way from parties through whose
land the road will run, that is, from a
point on the old Gulf road near the
Tol Graves farm to MAYHEM. The
parties will be asked for fifty feet of
right Of way. The parties interested in
the old Gulf road bed, he thinks, will
quit claim their interest when the
matter is brought to their attention. |
lie also stated that it would be desira-
BILE for MAYHEM to raise enough money
to defray the expenses of having the
route surveyed.
The time has come when east and
west roads are no longer built; from
now on they will be north and south
roads II we can get that road through
10 Joplin and then connect with the
Fort Scott Il Memphis We would have
an outlet to Port Arthur. The road
would 90 over as fertile a country as
there is, to say nothing about the
minerals The road would be a paying
road from its beginning. Mayview
being in the geographical center Of La
iayette county, and beautifully situated
on the mounds, would make one of the
most attractive towns in the county.
After Mr.. Wilson's talk the chairman
made a lew remarks on the subject, and
Thought the matter feasible, and would
De a good thing for MAYHEM, and
hoped the people would take hold and
help The road forward; II you cannot
help forward the move do not discour-
age 1t by your talk; always help a good
thing along.
"A motion was made and carried that
a committee OF three be appointed BY
the chairman to go over the route of the
proposed road and take a survey of the
line and make a report on same. Said
committee being d. L. Herr, Jas. W.
Warren and &. II. Radius.
By motion the chairman was also
authorized to appoint a committee of
three as a finance committee, to solicit
subscriptions to defray expenses. j.. r..
rlattenburg, DIR. r. G. Day and DIR. F.
W. DALEY were appointed. The route
committee were instructed to make
survey and report Oh Saturday, August
D. at which time there will be another
meeting, and 1t is hoped that all inter
es'ed will turn out and let us have a
large and enthusiastic meeting.
