MAN FOR THE PLACE.
NJ. Picard, Commissioner General
+, Of the Paris Exposition.
Evolved the Magnificent Plans of the
Grand Fair in Less Than Four
Hours and Thereby Killed
q Pet German Project.

In Alfred Picard, commissioner gen.
eral of the exposition, whose nomina-
tion to a grand cross of the Legion of
Honor was announced by President
Loubet few days ago, is practically
the organizer of the Paris exposition.
By his outward appearance one might
take him for Don Quixote. A figure
with lanky limbs, a cast of counte-
narce overloaded with an air of
gloom, a nose of characteristic promi-
nence, piercing eyes and mustache of
heroical dimensions, these make him
seem living knight of La Mancha, ever
fitting at windmills. Never was
greater contrast between natural as
pect and reality. NJ. Picard is, in fact,
the king of Method, . a practical man
above all things-the very personifica-
ton of the French genius of lucidity,
order, harmony.
From his youth up NJ. Picard has
given free play to his taste for serious
matters. Mathematician, engineer.
economist, administrator, lawyer, he
has been all these by turns and stimuli
taneously. He has built bridges, eX-
cavated mines, arranged statistics,
managed railways and led the discus
sions of council of state in its con-
sultations over the plans for a worlds
fair.
NJ. Picard was born in Lorraine.
When II he made his way to Paris, en-
tered the Ecole Polytechnique. and just
before the outbreak of the Franco
German war passed out of its classes,
with distinction won by the qualities
which have through life brought him
his success-hard work, patience and
regularity.
Returning to Metz, he was shut up
with the garrison in the citadel and
suffered the privations of the siege:

M. ALFRED PICARD.

role not to bear arms against the ene-
ny, he effected an escape in an in
genious manner. He was one day clank-
ing his sword dolorously along the Metz
pavement, when he caught sight OF
himself in a window. 1.-The face of a
corpse." he muttered, but an idea was
suggested to his mind Running to a
friend, he exclaimed: "You must de-
clare that I am in the last stages Of
consumption, and urge that l should
be sent home to my friends to die" The
German surgeons, deceived by the
youths cadaverous appearance, grant
ed the request, and the slim consump-
tive passed through the besiegcrs' lines
unuuestioned. He at once struck for
Switzerland, joined the army of the
Loire and served in it's ranks until the
end of the war.
After the war he pursued his profes-
sion of civil engineer with astonishing
success. One post after another was
filled by him with credit until tech
nical appointment was given him in
the office of public works. 1t fell to his
duties at the end of the exposition of
1880 to liquidate it's finances. The task
took him two years of unceasing labor,
but it's accomplishment set stamp on
his reputation.
His association with the present ex-
position came about in this way: One
morning in the summer of 1892 he re-
ceived a summons from NJ. Jules Roche,
the minister. Germany had shown a
desire to arrange great exhibition for
1900, but France had determined to be
first in the field and keep that year
for herself.
'It is now ten o'clock" said the min
lister, after he had announced the cab
inet's decision to NJ. Picard; "can you
give US at two o'clock first scheme?'
At the time appointed NJ. Picard was
ready with his plan, which he handed
to the prime minister. and on the NOR
row the decree appeared in the Official
Gazette. NJ. Picard was appointed
commissioner general of the exposition
of 1900.

The bicyclists in the states who here

The record trip of the Arctic cycling
season was made in February by Nor
ris Levy, between Dawson City and
Circle City. The distance between the
two points is 365 miles. Levy made it
in three days and four hours, or at a
gait of better than 100 miles day.
Among those starting over the Daw-

tanned his captaincy in March, 1885.
That he should have been appointed to
the command of British division in
the field at an age when most officers
are junior majors is probably unprece-
dented, at anv rate in the last 40
years.
But in several respects Sir Leslie
Rundle may claim to have done un-
precedented service. He has eight cam
paigns to his credit-thc Zulu and
Transvaal campaigns in the South Af-
rican war of 1S79Sl, the Egyptian ex-
petition of 1882, the Nile cNptditi ION of
1SS4-S5, the operations of the t!aniier
field force in the Soudan in l6S5-$6-S7-
S0-o1, the Dongola expedition of 1896,
the Nile expedition of 1885, and lie ad-
vance on khartoum in 1S9S. Gen. Rum
die was employed with The Egyptian
army from 1854 until last year. when
he was given the command OF the
southeastern district, which he has
since left to act temporarily as deputy
adiutant general to the forces. Dur
ing his period of employment with the
Egyptian army he acted repeatedly as
Lord Kitchener's chief of staif-it was
in this capacity that he was present at
the battle of Omdurman-and he was
successfully governor of the Red sea
littoral, of the frontier and of the Don
COLA province. 1t is interesting to re-
call the fact that in the last Transvaal
campaign Gen, then Lieut., Rundle
was wounded in the defense of Potsch-
efStrOom.

There is an amusing English definl-

title insists upon having Esq added TO
his name when letters are addressed to

The west end Londoper of social

practice. Summer and winter, in rain
or shine, he wears high silk hat ia
the streets of London and carries 1t
into the rawing room when he pays
an afternoon call. 1t is only when he
takes train for the provinces or ior
