tile has monument to mark the site of
that famous political prison. The Place
de la Concorde marks one of the most
tragic spots in Paris. 1t was there that
Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette
and two thousand others were
guillotined during the Reign of
Terror. An obelisk seventy-six feet
high stands on the site of the guillotine
and around it are eight statues to repre-
sent the chief cities of France. Foreign
armies have eamped on this place three
times. The Place, which is grandly
illuminated at night, is the scene of a
graud fete Oh every July 18th to cele-
brate the fall of the Bastile. The Ven
dome Column, which adorns another
prominent Place, was erected by Napo-
leon to commemorate his victories over
Russians and Austrians 1t is 142 feet
high, and is built Of masonry, cuirassed
with plates Of bronze, bearing reliefs
representing scenes Of Napoleon's cam
paigns. The plates were made by melt
ing 1920 guns captured from the Rus
SLAMS and Austrians. The Communists
destroyed the Vendome Column in 1871
but it restored. A bronze statue of
Joan of Arc, astride her horse, and bar
headed, carrying a flag, stands in the
Rue de Rivoli, near the Tuileries. The
other Places have historic memories.

Correspondence From France
PARIs, FRANCE. July 81, 1900

PARIS, FRANCE, July 81, 1900.
The phrase "Gay Paree'' has not
been exaggerated. tits impossible 10 be
lonesome i'll Paris unless one wants to
be, oris financially embarrassed. There
are fifty-eight theatres, offering attrac-
tions ranging from grand opera to low
farces and melodrama. For those who
like faster pace there are concert halls
and resorts where masque and fancy
balls are given every Sunday and Mon
day, and every night at other places
At these resorts the tourist can see Gay
Paree in all that the term implies. The
QUARTER Latin is rather dull at present
on account Of it being vacation time
with the students, who give life to that
section Of Paris so well described by du
Maurier in Trilby." The observing
visitor can see much Of the life and
habits of the French people by frequent
ing the cafes, which are found on every
block. The Partisan spends nearly an
hour every day at his favorite cafe tax
ing a meal, smoking his cigarette, or
drinking a bottle of wine as he gossips
with his friends or watches the passing
throng He always chooses a sidewalk
table in Summer Another pleasant
amusement is a drive along the splendid
boulevards of Paris, the prettiest in the
world The cab and carriage fares in
Paris are most reasonable when COM
pared to New York prices. The cabby
will cheat you every time, however, if
you do not know the rates. There are
French, English and American guides
at every turn, willing to show parties
the sights Of Paris-and get a COM
mission everywhere the sightseer spends
a franc. Kentuckians have been i'm
pressed with the excitable nature of the
Frenchmen. When two or more
converse together they talk and gesticu-
late so rapidly that you are sure they
are going to fight but the expected
trouble proves to be only a conversa-
tional conflict. I saw a Frenchman
highly insulted the other night just
because another Frenchman called him
pig" One meets Americans at every
turn. While buying a place - for the
opera the other day / met a Boston girl,
who came to my assistance IN speaking
French, and it was a peculiar coinc;-
dence that she was the first person l
met at the opera that night. Every
American visitor comedies Paris to be
a beautiful charming and interesting
city, but he does not hesitate to say that
America is the grandest and best place
on earth.

The assassin of King Humbert will
be chained to the bottom of a funnel
shaped iron cell, constructed under
the ground, where he will never see the
light Of day, speak to any one, receive any
medical treatment, and be fed on scanty
rations of bread and water for ten years.
After this, if he survives, he is to do
hard labor the rest Of his natural life.

Americans have but little trouble
making their wants known, as English is
spoken at all of the hotels and most of
the shops. Especial attention is given to
English speaking patrons in the shops
and care is taken to give the correct
change when purchase is made. The
shops in Paris are elegant, though they
are much smaller than most American
stores. The exclusive styles in mems
and women clothes which one expects
to find are shown in the more preten-
tious subsequently, on the Avenue
de POpera, where the establishment of
Worth, the famous designer and modiste,
is located. Worth's exhibit at the Elk
position is probably the most exquisite
collection of costumes ever placed on
display. In way of jewelry the French
seem to be slightly ahead of American
goldsmiths, though they have made but
small progress when their work is com
pared with the jewelry worn by Kings
two hundred years ago.

Whatever difficulties American tour
lists may have with the French
language in Paris they never have the
slightest trouble in getting something
to drink. At everyone of the thousands
of cafes wine and beer can be bought,
and the fact that ''beer'' sounds almost
the same in French and German as it
does in Engli&h make it easy for them,
but they can rarely ever get anything
cool. The English and French do not
use One-tenth as much ice as Americans
a queer custom noticed in France is tn e
system-or lack Of ystem-in number
ing the houses. On one side of lead
ing street one would find No. 25 and in
stead of finding No. 26 on the opposite
side, he is likely to find No. 49, The
system is too much for the traveller who
is accustomed to the modern way.
Another strange thing is the absence Of
electric or water fans in the Paris
hotels and cafes
