Plague Spot - Was Sacked

Paris.-The famous prison Of st.

marks Of Paris. is about to be pulled
down, ana what for some years has
been moral and physical plague spot
VIII give way to fine, open squares
aud commodious dwellings. Romantic
and tragic memories cling about the
old structure. ST. Lazare. as its name
indicates, was at FIRST a lepcrs' hospi-
tai built at the end of the eleventh
century on the site of n basilica dedi-
Gated to st. Laurent It sprung rap.
Idly into fame, for kings used frc-
quently to visit, 1t in token of humil-
ty and faiths.
In 1882, lcprosy having practically
disappeared in France. the hospital
was handed over to st. Vincent de
Paul. who established there a number
of priests of his mission known as
the congregation of ST. Lazare. st.
Vincent himself died at st. Lazarc,
and his cell is still shown TO visitors
with two stones worn hollow by the
knees Of the saint st. Vincent's sue
cessors neglected the work commenc.
ed by him and the house was turned
into sort of reformatory for insub.
ordinate priests and upruly sprigs
OF nobility for whom their parents
had secured "lettres de cachot."
The Lazarists having stored large
quantities Of provisions in view of n
possible famine the mob of Paris
sacked the establishment on July 10,
1883. the eve of tho storming of the
Dastille, and released 40 prisoners.
During the terror many "ci.devants"
were confined there before being tried
by the revolutionary tribunal 1t was
from st. Lazare that Andre Chenier
was led to the guillotine After the
revolution the surrounding lands were
sold and built upon, st. Lazare itself
remaining prison. but only women
were confined there.
Many celebrated female offenders
have been lodged at St. Lazarc wl:ile
awaiting trial, among them the fam
Gus Nine. Humbert.
From the hospital which adjoins the
prison long subterranean passage
leads TO the plain of ST. Denis and in
1871 number OF federals escaped
from Parts through this tunnel.
OF recent years the prison has been
used solely for the confinement of
the pitiful outcasts OF society who
are gathered in from the streets and
bouleyards of Paris.

,affair Is not much OF u surprise u
! us In Ohio replied Governor Her
rick. with q quizzical smile. 1--WE
don't regard It SO much as evi-
denc& of his love for the colorcd
man. but rather as his availing him
self Of an opportunity to oppose a
Republican administration. You
know of the man who is always 'agin
the government We'll, Senator For
aker may not be 'agin the govern
mcnt but he ha;, maintained an un-
broken record of being 'agin Repub-
lican administrations, whether state
or national. This opposition seems to
be temperamental and constitutional
in his case. Therefore we take It less
seriously. perhaps. than any other
people are inclined to take It.
"As we recall history I'm Ohio,
Senator Foraker has been opposed to
every prominent Republican who
seemed to be in his way or whom he
conceived TO be inimical to his in
terests. For instance, among those
he has opposed, we can recall Sher.
man, Mckinley, Hanna, Nash, Her.
rick. refer to myself as governor
TAFT. Burton and Dick, until Dicks
surrender. As for national adminis-
trations. he opposed Harrison ana
Mckinley. while the country Is thor
Ioughly Informed as to his attitude
toward the Roosevelt adnlinistra-
ton.
I'm fact, as ! now recall It. the
senator has been out Of sympathy
with Republican administrations,
both state and national, for the last
twelve years. AS said before, ir It
were not for these facts. we might
take bis championship of the colorcd
brother as against President Roos-
,evelt more seriously"
