AT THE PETIT TRIANoN.
Charming Frivolities of Marie An
toinette's Court Revived for, Charity

For single day this month, says the
Paris Messenger" the charming frivoli-
ties and the dainty graces of the Court of
Marie Antoinette will be revived for the
sake of charity. The scene will be the
park of the Petit Trianon, where the
doomed Queen and her ladies in waiting,
many of whom were destined to share
her fate, played at being shepherdesses
and dairymaids, while the storm of the
Revolution was gathering, ready to break
over Paris. There will be a pathos in
such a revival, which all the brilliance
o fthe promised fashionable fete will
hardly suffice to dispel from the minds
OF spectators. A melancholy influence
clings about the place. The garden, with
its quantity designed paths and beds and
its air of artificial picturesqueness, the
dairy, buttery, and the toy farmhouse,
itself a perfection of daintily simple
architecture, even the park benches, of
a quite plain shape, the elegance of
which no modern maker of country seats
seems able to equal, all Marie Antoi-
nette's s'hameau" has remained exactly
as it was when the Queen and her ladies
played at rural simplicity there, with
pathetic if heartless, unconcern for all
unpleasantly serious things.
The farmhouse, which has been left
closed and untouched since the time of
the royal dairymaid, and the quantity
laid out grounds deserted by the general
ity of sightseers at Versailles, and only
visited by few who have learned to APP
preciate the charm of the place, particu-
larly in the early spring, will be reopened.
They will be, for one afternoon, the
scene of hustle and activity. The best
known beauties of aristocratic Partisan
society will be the milkmaids and farm
girls, dressed in the elegantly rustic style
designed by Marie Antoinette herself. At
The promised fete, which is to be a most
exclusive affair, invitations being strictly
limited, high prices will naturally be
charged for entrance fees, while it may
he expected that milk fresh from the
cow. and supposed to have been drawn

cheap at 20 francs cup, and new laid

as fhe fete is already announced as be-
ing destined to be quite the most fash
;onable affair of the season, the privileged
who get invitations will be only too ready

10 OUlDUlLD CHEOPS
ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION PYRAMID TO
BE BIGGER THAN EGYPT'S.

Immense Hollow Structure That May
Be a Feature of the Coming Big
Fair-Many Unique Features and
Uses Suggested.
St. Louis is to have in 1903 great ex-
position to commemorate the centennial
of the purchase of the Louisiana terrific
ry by the United States. Not content
with the ordinary features of such shows,
the Mound City is. planning to have, in
addition, a number of novel and splendid
attractions. Among these proposed nov
elites is a great pyramid.
ST. Louis pyramid, if erected, will be
the greatest structure of its kind on
earth, not even excepting the Egyptian
pyramids The pyramid of Cheops at
Ghizeh, Egypt, the oldest and largest in
the world, was considered by the an
cients the greatest of the worlds seven
wonders. 1t is well worth the admira-
ton Of moderns. If transplanted from
the banks of the Nile to the Mississippi,
however, it would be topped by the pro-,
posed ST. Louis structure, though by base
measurement the Egyptian pyramid is
the greater.
Cheops' pyramid is 755 feet square and
451 feet high st. Louis pyramid is to
be 500 feet square at the base and is to
rise to a height of 500 feet, or three
times the height of the tallest existing
St. Louis church spire. Its base will
cover space equal to nearly four city
blocks. If erected on a commanding
site, as it undoubtedly will be, the pyra-
mid will be visible for a great distance
and will command wide view.
Only in size and exterior appearance is
the st. Louis pyramid to resemble those
of Egypt. The. pyramid Of Cheops is
only a solid mass of stone, containing
merely a small burial chamber for the
king who had it built. The st. Louis
pyramid is to serve a number of useful
purposes besides enabling to obtain splen-
did views of the Father of Waters and
the surrounding country Its interior is
to be arched into an immense circular
amphitheater 800 feet in diameter and
rising in a vast dome 800 feet in height.
The pyramid, though seemingly solid,
will thus be merely a shell, sufficiently
strong, however, to allay any fears of
collapse.
Some idea of the size of the interior Of
this immense structure can be gained by
imagining a space vast enough to con-
tain a modern skyscraper, with room
enough around it for sidewalks and
broad streets. All this immensity is to
be inclosed within four walls, starting

DIDN'T BURN OUT MOTHER
Man Neighbors Wanted to Lynch
Was Acquitted.

Especial to ''The Jersey City News.O
FREEHOLD, July 27, 19O1.-Charles
Herbert was acquitted of arson last
night, and the folk who not long ago
strung him up tree in a mad deter
mination to lynch him are glad they did
not carry out their purpose. The States
evidence yesterday was entirely circum-
stantial and tended to show he could
have started the fires. When the de-
fence opened Mr.. Van Wrinkle called the
defendant. He said that on the day of
the first fire, January 27. he worked in
Smiths grocery store. He denied hav-
ing any conversation with Charles Van
Brunt, except to say his mother was too
old to live alone. He was awakened in
his home at the first fire by the bells
ringing. He went to the fire and helped
carry goods out of his mothers house.
and other houses nearby.
He admitted telling Charles Stryker he
had smelled smoke in the rooms before
the second fire. Herbert also admitted
telling Frank Smith he did not think it
safe for his mother to live alone in
the Sheppard building, as she was old,
and there had been so many fires it was
dangerous for her.
on the afternoon of the night of the
second fire, but said his mother was there
all the time and he had two of his chill
dren with him.
He went home, got his supper and at
o'clock lay down for a nap. He knew
nothing more until H. S. Terhune awoke
him and told him to come down town
with him. Mr.. Van Winkle fought hard
to have Herbert tell of the attempt to
lynch him, but the Court refused to admit
that testimony.
Mrs. Herbert corroborated her sons
story about helping to carry out the goods
at the first fire and visiting her with his
children on the afternoon preceding the
second fire.
Mrs. Charles Herbert swore her husband
had been in bed for several hours before
the first fire, and that on the night of the
second fire he had been sleeping an hour
and half before Henry S. Terhune came
and awakened him. Several witnesses tes-
titled to Herbert's good reputation.

RUSH IN CHANCERY.
Trenton Office Has Had an
Unprecedented Season.
Especial to .'The Jersey city Newe."l

Especial to 'HThe Jersey City News."]
TRENTON, July 27, 1901.--When it be-
gan to grow hot about a month ago
it was noticed in the office of the Clerk
of Chancery that business kept up in a
most surprising volume, but the clerical
force thought that it was only a freak
ish squirt and that the usual dull times
of summer would soon be around. 1t
did not need clerk in the chancery office
to tell you that lawyers did but little
work in summer, for everybody seemed to
think that these bright gentlemen were
all at the seashore or up in the noun
tains thinking of everything else but bills,
petitions, orders, commissions, answers,
crossbills, accountings, DEGREES, fore
closures, masters reports, divorces, and
the thousand, more or less, other things
dealt in in large quantities in the cham
Gerry office.
The rush of work did not let up with
the increase of heat, and the clerks be-
gan to think that there ought to be two
or three offices of the kind or else that
the people ought to settle most of their
cases out of court. They were all in
favor of a peace conference that would
forever Danish litigation, except just
enough to keep things going along nicely.
AS much business is being transacted
today as at any time during the busiest
month in the winter, and on some days
the mail has been heavier than it has ever
been known before.
Alfred La Fetra, the docket clerk, who
has been in the office for many years,
said that he could not account for the
midsummer rush, unless it indicated an
increased amount of litigation among the
people, thus compelling the lawyers
throughout the State to stay home and
rake in the dollars while they may.
The clerical force of the office is not
behind, however for its members say
that they are able to take care of all
that will come, and that if the lawyers
can work hard with the thermometer
around the century mark, they can, and
that the record for the office for prompt
attention to business should not suffer.

Size to hos - exposition. high aoove
the colossal rotunda of the amphitheater
and near the apex of the pyramid is to
be an observation chamber, with open
ings on the four sides of the structure
From this chamber, which will be more
than $50 feet higher than the Ferris
wheel of the Chicago exposition, the yis-
itor will get birdseye view of the expo
sition, with the Mississippi river, the
city of st. Louis and the states of Mis-
souri, and INinois in the background
The view alone will amply repay the as
cent of the great pyramid.
Not the least interesting of the many
features of this unique structure will be
the means of ascent. The observation
chamber and the intermediate galleries
are to be reached by an inclined spiral
railway, constructed to resemble the fa-
nous knowing sidewalk" of the Paris
exposition of last year. 1t is proposed
to build by the side of this railway car
riage drive and footpath. Three modes
of ascent will thus be offered, the grade
being so slight that vehicles may ascend
or descend without danger, and the climb
on foot will be undertaken with little
danger of fatigue.
Ample provisions for lighting the
structure are to be made, its shape rem
dering that problem easy of solution.
Sunlight will be admitted through aper-
lures in the walls and into the amphithea-
ter from the dome. At night the pyra-
mid will be lighted brilliantly by electric
ity, affording a fine display.
The cost Of the pyramid is estimated
at about 81 ,0000 According to the
promoters of the nlan, this will be real
ized by charging admission, selling space,
etc. Being built of stone and cement,

remain a permanent addition to st. Lou

pyramid by popular subscription. and eff
forts are also being made to interest cap

"Athletics are making her rough" Still
another objects:-"Her education makes

there is chorus Of voices declaring;-
"she won't make good wife"
Why can't the college girl be let alone
to work out her own salvation? While
