Deadly Heat Wave.

THE deadly heat wave which swept
over the country last week caused thirty
three deaths in New York City, and peo-
pie fed from cities as from a scoucge.
At Chicago six persons died from heat
Saturday, and deaths occurred at Louis
vile and other cities.
At Sandusky, o., heat crazed man
ran into a wire fence, and a Chicago
man tried to kill his wife with butcher
mafa. At Toledo Minnie Muener drank
carbolic acid, and Mrs. J. Gardner at
tempted to drown herself while crazed
by heat. Ferdinand Thurman drowned
himself at Toledo.
Washington, D. c., was the hottest
city in the country, the mercury regis
tering 101 degrees. In this city it
climbed to ninety-eight, but the rain
Sunday and yesterday brought relief
from the terrible heat.

Correspondence From France
PARIS, FRANCE,
July %, 1900.

One of the most interesting places to
the sightseer in Paris is the superb Notre
Dame cathedral, one of the most noted
churches in the world. Notre Dame
was founded i'll 1163 on the site of a
church Of the fourth century, and has
frequently been restored. The interior
of the churchis exceedingly grand and in
many respects is unsurpassed by any
church in Europe. The Nave consists
OF double aisles crossed by a transept,
and the vaulting between the rows of
ssventy-five massive pillars is 10 feet.
The church is especially rich in carving
and statuary, the carving representing
the 'Last Judgment" and Burial of
the Virgin" being very fine. Various
inches contain statues of the Kings Of
France and the Archbishops of Paris.
The altar where Joan dare prayed is
pointed out to visitors. Notre Dame
will hold twenty thousand people. The
great bell, mentioned by Victor Hugo,
weighs sixteen tons, the clapper weigh
ing sixteen hundred weight. In the
treasury of Notre Dame are kept
the sacred relics, which include
fragments of the Savior's crown of
thorns, piece of the cross and nail
from it. These are not shown except on
great fete days. The cathedral is open
to visitors all day. Another noted edi-
flee is the Madeline, or Church of st.
Mary Magdalene, which was begun in
the seventeenth century and finally
completed in 1912, at total cost of
$4,000, 900. This superb church is of
classic architecture, the original design
being after the Pantheon This church
is also very rich in carving and great
paintings. The carving over the front,
representing the "Last Judgment" is
wonderfully impressive, and the bronze
door are adorned with groups illustrat-
ing the ten commandments. The
church is open to visitors after one
O'Clock every afternoon.

foyer is used for promenading by the
fashionable people, and it presents a
most brilliant scene. Paris society has
deserted the city on account of the
heat, but there are enough visitors in
the city to make a handsome display of
dresses at the opera. Admission to the
opera is gained by small sheets Of paper
five by four inches-instead of tick
cts, which are passed by the ticket in
spector to an attendant who refers you
to maid, who finally shows you to
your place" instead of ''seat" The
door Of the loge is then locked until the
act is over.
While in the United States building
yesterday we met Col S. P. Gross, of
Lexington, KY, who is running an
American cafe at the U. S. building in
the Exposition, assisted by ex-Mayor
j. H. Davidson, of Lexington. They
are having great success and Col.
Gross tells me he is making money
from the enterprise. Monday night he
served an elegant banquet to the Amer
can athletes, who were so successful in
the field contests last week. Thursday
night he serves an elegant banquet given
to Gen. Horace Porter, Senator Depew
and Exposition Commissioner Peck,
Col. Gross spreads several banquets
each week. He has the only soda
fountain on the Exposition grounds.
And speaking of soda water recalls the
Statement that there is not a soda
fountain in London, and not half a
dozen in Paris. Here is a tip for some
hustling American to make a fortune.

which is spanned by a dozen or more
fine bridges. The bouIevards are
broad and lined with trees, and are
brilliantly Illuminated every night. The
Avenue Champs de EIysees is famous
the world over for its beauty, and the
Boulevard d'Italie for its gay
throng. The Avenue de POpera is
another superb thoroughfare, lined with
elegant shops, leading to the Grand
Opera House. On this avenue are CON
ceived and shown the styles which are
copied by all Of the civilized world. The
shops are magnificent, though they are
not so extensive as the Wannamaker
stores in New York and Philadelphia,
Marshall Fields at Chicago, or Shiliito's
at Cincinnati. ] visited the famous
Bon Marche department store yesterday,
and although it is an extensive estab-
lishment, there are stores in New York,
Chicago and Philadelphia which sur
pass 1t in many respects. The prices in
the leading shops are high, though the
most attractive novelties are shown.
The French women, whom have seen
in the shops and ON the streets, are
strikingly handsome and stylish
They are of medium height
and build, and have beautiful dark eyes
with a twinkle of mischief in them, and
a large per cent of them dress in ex-
cellent style and have lot of vivacity
which gives them additional attractive
ness. The best dressed women in the
shopping streets affect gowns of soft
clnging materials of cream or white, or
the ever popular silk waist with
plain skirt. The most striking
street garment have noticed on Ave-
nue. de POpera was a coat which hung
full, back and front, from the neck, and
covered the dress. The coat was made
of the finest broadcloth, almost a lilac
iu color, with collar and cuff bands of
same shade. 1t was warm for the coat
but the wearer didn't seem to mind the
weather.

Monday night we were fortunate
enough of engage lOge in the Grand
Opera House, and heard the opera
''Le Cid'' sung in superblstyle by a fine
cast, headed by the famous NM. Alvarez,
who stands second only to Jean deReszqe
in Paris. The opera was lavishly
staged and included brilliant ballet.
1t was really worth the price of seat
just to see the splendor of the opera
house, which is easily the finest in the
world. It was constructed at a cost of
over five million dollars. Nearly five
hundred houses, valued at two million,
were destroyed to provide a site for
it, which is almost in the center of the
city. The grand stairway of white
marble is famed the world over, and the
foyer or promenade hall 175 feet long,
forty-two feet wide and the ceiling is
fifty-nine feet high. The paintings by
famous artists represent the MUSES.,
music, dancing, Mount Parnassus and
the ancient poets. Between acts this

Lake Kivu. which is some $50 miles
west of Victoria, Nyanza, is very deep,
and contains neither crocodile o hip
pos, but there are enormous numbers
of large offers, and the typical bird is
the demoiselle crane. The whole sur
rounding country is packed with small
hills, which appear to have been
sprinkled out with a pepper pot till
not a single n more could find room
The hills are covered with magnificent
pasture, which affords grazing for the
lage herds Of cattle owned by the
Watsui. The people are known col
lectively as the Wakuanda. and So
cieyt is divided into two classes, the
Watsui being the a%ristocrats. They are
presumably the descendants of the
great a of Calais, that penetrated
in remote ages as far as Tanganyika;
they are a purely pastoral folk breed
ing a long-horned cattle, with which
they live, p%referring even slavery to
separation from their beloved beasts.

The southeast trades are almost as
sure in their operation as is the recur-
renee of day and night, says the Spec
tator. The homeward bound sailing
ship, once having been swept round
the Cape of Good Hope in spite of ad-
verse winds by the irresistible Agul-
has current, usually finds awaiting her
a southerly wind. Sailors refuse to call
it the first of the trades, considering
that any wind blowing without the
tropics has no claim to be called a
trade" This fancy matters little.
The great thing is that these helpful
breezes await the homeward bounder
close down to the southern limit Of
his passage, await him with arms
outspread in welcome, and coincident-
ly with the pleasant turning of his
ships head homeward, permit the
yards to be squared, and the course to
be set as desired. And the ship-ltke

with the sea wearing one vast many
dimpled smile, and the stainless blue
above quivering in light uninterrupted
by the passage of a single cloud, the
white-winged ship sweeps serenely on,
All around in the paling blue of the
sky near the horizon float the sleepy
fleecy cumuli peculiar to the trades"
without perceptible motion or change
of form. When day steps abruptly into
night, and the myriad glories OF the
sunless hours reveal themselves shyly
to an unheeding ocean, the silent ship
still passes ghostlike upon her placid
way, the %steadfast wind rounding her
canvas into the softest of curves, with
out a wrinkle or a shake.

Snotchin9 Empires

Trifles frequently change the course
Of history. Many Of the outlying pos
sessions Of the British Empire were
acquired by chance; almost, certainly
by taking advantage of trivial things.
Three hundred years ago the Dutch
held the monopoly of all trade to
Asia and India. Suddenly, in 1899,
they raised the price of pepper from
three to six shillings a pound. This
was than Englishmen could
stand. The worthy merchants of Lon
don met together to protest against
the "un-Christian price Of pepper"
They did more than protest, for they
determined to get their w pepper
from India rather than yield to the
Dutchman's demands. They formed a
company called 1.-THE Governor and
Company Of the Merchants of London
Trading to the East Indies" and SUBJ
scribed a capital of $3.50, 900. On the
last day Of 16O0-nearly three centur-
les ago-Queen Elizabeth granted
them a royal charter. They opened a
trade with India and got their pepper
at a christian price," And they got
more than pepper, for it was this
company that gained a footing for the
English in India, drove out the French
and established British rule over that
vast peninsula and one-ffth of the hui
man race. 1t was only after the mu-
tiny, in 1858, that the company ceas-
ed to rule India, and the Queen assum-
ed the reins Of government. Thus, for
an extra twopence an ounce on pepper,
a handful of merchants laid the foun-
dalton for the British Indian Empire.
More than one bit of the British EN-
pire has been secured to Britons by
the closest of SLAVES.

The British flag was hoisted In
Australia-then a barren continent,
inhabited by the most degraded Of
mankind-only three weeks before q
French vessel arrived to make 1t a
possession of France. BY a narrow
squeak New England was secured to
the Anglo-Saxon race. Seventy years
ago English missionaries and a few
settlers went to New Zealand. The
French began to look enviously on the
two fertile islands. The British gov
eminent was begged to annex them.
They took no steps whatever to fore
stall the French and to protect the
English already there. Private enter
prise stepped in. A New Zealand COM,
pany was formed by the Earl of DUR
ham AID Edward Gibbon Wakefield.
Tho company shipped off a cargo OF
settlers to New Zealand. The voyage
took nine months then, and, seeing
the people were in earnest, the gov-
eminent tardily decided to annex the
land. In May, 1910, a party landed
from a man-of-war and hoisted the
Union Jack, proclaiming the islands
British territory. They were just in
time. Three days later a French ship
dropped anchor in one Of the natural
harbors. Great was their rage on see
ing the English flag flying, for they
had come to hoist the %tricolor. Tho
French missionaries, in full canonl-
calls, protested to the British officers.
but they were forestalled. 1t was to
that lucky chance the New Zealand of
today, with it's $4,000 white settlers,
forming the most advanced and ideal
community in the world, owes its eH.
istence.
