ST PETERSBURG, April 81, 1907.
No ecclesiastic of the Russian Church
ever has enjoyed such worldwide fame as
Father John of Kronstadt. In his native
land he has the reputation of a saint and
a mira cle-worker. and the attention of the
English-speakng public has been drawn to
him by constant references in print to his
remarkable career. His writings, in a
bulky volume, published under the title of
MY Life in Christ" are often to be seen
in the libraries of American and English
clergymen, and his biography, written by
Scotch divine. has had wide circulation.
A man with such reputation could hard
ly fail to have enemies. Bitter attacks
have been made on him by the Russian
press, and his lack of worldly wisdom I'M

opponents. He has been accused of trad

Special Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence OF The Star.
PARIS, April 81. 1907
The war of American cities on the sign
board nuisance has it's echo in the gay
French capital Ten years ago Partisan
pictorial posters were so moderate in size
and so superlatively artistic that the anna
teurs of all the world collected them. Great
artists did at least one poster each, to show
their hand.
Today in Paris you will look in vain for
the old artistic posters. Size and vulgarity
are alleged TO be better advertisers. Far
worse than in America. however, Paris is
going down, while America goes up. We
are abating an old nuisance Paris is Just
acquiring 1t; and the loud, vulgar sign
boards are but one phase of general vul-
garizing tendency, whose worst side Is
architectural.
The latest and worst example is the
breaking of the skyline of the Etoile. The
most noble pubic place of Paris is being
INTELLECTUALLY degraded. When visiting
sovereigns are driven In they will behold
Napoleon's Arc de Tr:omphe dwarfed by
the eccentric cupolas of a great modern
hotel.
Springing Up Everywhere.
Similar degradations OF the beauty and
repose that made Partisan charm are
sprlnglng up all over the French capital;
but the attack on the Etoile is SO striking
that Parisians of all classes are aroused;
and the hotels architect will almost GER
tainly be compelled not only to cut of the
two cupolas. but possibly two stories of his
giant building.
