ASHES Of zoLA, The NOVELIST.
TO BE INFERRED THERE.
Tardy Honors to Be Paid to the
Memory Of the Noted French
Writer by His coun-
trymen.

The removal next month Of the re-
mains Of Zola, the novelist. to an hon
ored place III the Pantheon at Paris
is a striking illustration of how IN
few years the public attitude towards
a man and mans memory can
change. When zola died less than
six years ago, he was secure In his
fame as one of the three greatest Iiv-
Ing writer's. the other two being Toll
stoi and Ibsen. The outcome of the
Dreyfus case had shown convinclngly
that Zola had been on the side Of
right, and had been a truer French
man than his traducers IN striving to
undo the wrong committed to the VIC
tim Of Devils island, but even then
his funeral was the occasion for dis
orders that approached dangerously
near to being riots.
Wheh It was suggested that Drey-
fus, who owed his life to the inter.
ference Of Zola at that critical in
slant when all France had about be-
come convinced Of his guilt, should
speak at the funeral, there was a
storm Of protest, and it was not until
Nine. Zola appealed for the privilege
Of being allowed to bury her dead
quietly and without pomp that the
funeral was permitted to proceed.
The decision to remove the asaes
Of Zola from his present resting place
In the zola lot to the Pantheon was
made IN 1905. It might have been ae-
complished sooner except that Nine.
zola was never in full sympathy with
the project She has always contended,
perhaps little bitterly, that no fur
ther honors are necessary to tae fame
Of her husband. The work he did Id
literature and the heroic fight for
Dreyfus are held by her to be greater
monuments to his reputation than any
possible action on the part Of his con
temporaries.
But the nation wants Zola IN the
Pantheon. Perhaps little pricking Of
the conscience, an echo Of the recent
remarkable reaction in public senti-
ment eyinced when Dreyfus restored
to rank was wildly applauded BY the
very people who formerly hissed him,
has extended to the memory Of his
only friend Of power In the dark days.
March II was the first date set for
the removal Of the body to the Pan
theon, then there was a postponement
till April 2. Then 1t was found that
the Pantheon could not be made ready
that early and the date was set fol-
June

Of France assisting, the body will be
