American and English people have already begun to make arrangements. In nt least ono pension nearly every room hna been disposed of for the exposition year. An Interesting enterprise which is under way was devised by an American artist. Ho Is arranging to chatter entlro one of the smufl Parisian hotels for the whole exposition season , and the low rntea which will result will bo available only to working artists and writers , With thcso figures nt hand It will not be dinicult to form nn entlmato of about what the lowest cost of u comfortable trip to thn Paris exposition and maintenance while hero will cost , Take the lowest llrst cabin figures J50 each way that gives $100 for steamer tickets , to vvhlsh must bo added $20 for tips and expenses on the steamer , making In titl $120 for transportation over and back on a ton-day boat. In Paris , as I have already explained , nbaut the cheapest way of living respectably would be in n furnished room , The rhamps il > sec. for Instance , from \ huh the main entrance to the grounds will op"ii , will b"c flanked by decorated col- i mns. eimo sculptured , name covered with hunting nnd some decorated with cut nov- crs , which will be renewed dally. It had been originally planned to erect n series of overhanging decorations along tliU avcnuo from Hie I'inco do la Concorde to the Arch de Trlomphe , but thla scheme was re jected because It would have Interfered with the magnificent \lslas which now make the Champs t'ljsco the most beautiful avenue In the world The Boulevard des Itallcns will be lined with elaborate decorations and all the squares nnd Innumerable circles In Paris will show their bunting nnd put on their gala dress At night beautiful dcolgns and col ored lights will take the place of the vari colored nags nnd Paris will become a literal fair ) land. Out on the Avenue Rapp nro the splendid offices of the American rommlfsloncr. When I was there recently Commissioner Pock was away , but smooth-fared , pleasant-man nered Commissioner Woodward told mo that I OLD PARIS A FAITHFUL REPRODUCTION OF THU ANCIENT CITY. chips nre carrying as many passengers as they will hold. During the latter part of May , ail of June , and thus far this month , almost every steamship coming to Europe from America had every beith full. The nctual carrying capacity of the regular lines Billing from Now York , Philadelphia and Boston for three months would bo about 75,700 nrst cabin. The same "boats will carry about 27,000 second cabin passengers. This will make a grand total of 102,700 poi- Bons. It Is probable that by the charter of boata which during the ordinary season do not ply regularly on those lines an addi tional carrying capacity of about 10,000 will bo secured. These figures are not far from accurate. They have been kindly furnished to mo by Retain H. Low of New York and London , -who knows as much as any one man about steamships and ocean travel. H IB Improbable that there will bo any Urge Increase In the rates of passage. The steamship lines , of course , would bo ex tremely glad If It Avero possible for them tn charge moro than usual , but they will probably bo held donn to the ordinary rates by the competition of the specially char tered ships. All the companies arc looking forward to a particularly largo second cabin pitronuge. There will bo thousands o people coming across the ocean for the ex position who ordinarily can not afford the money for travel. These people are likely to bo economical In their expenditure for passage , Having their money to spend at the ciposttlon. It Is fair to estimate that the average price pftld for a first cabin passage will be $110. Kates will range from $30 for Inside state- looms on the slow shirs to $65 for the -\-3iy cheapest rooms on tba fast boats. On the big Jinera th o will be no rate under $ t55 for drat cabin and very few berths will be for sale at that price. From It the passage prices will run up to $200 for a single per son In the best staterooms and as lilgb as $450 for those few luxurious passengers who ore willing to pay for the p'rivllego of being alone In the tlnest cabins. Second cabin passages will run about as It does now , from $40 to $70. $ Now as to the matter of expense after reaching Paris. There will bo , ns there nlwajs Is , a choice of three modes of living In the Trench capital. One will bo In hotels , of course. Ono will bo "on pension" or In boarding lioutes. The third will bo In "chambrts doubles" or furnished rooms , taking meals outaldo. The Pailslan hotel varies ns widely In Its price as do the Now York hotels. In the grand now Palace hotel , which has recently been erected on the Champs Klysea and Is the most beautiful hostelry In the world , rates now range fiom $2.50 to $10 per room per day. This , of course , docs not Include meals. The cobt of meals at the I'alaco is about $1 foibreakfast. . $1.50 for RETURNING YOUTH. " I nm seventy years young , " snid Oliver Wendel Holmes when they asked his age , True enough. He was young because h i s h c n r t w n s young ; hia step was firm ; hib eye was bright ; his laugh was clear nnd merry ; his " " " * appetite vvns nbovc all so was his can be hired aa low as 3 francs a day nnd from that prlco the visiting American can go as much higher ns ho pleases. These are the prices of the ordinary sea son. Add to them 15 per cent and jou will have nn Idea of about what mill bo charged during the exposition jear. Some of the more Important Parisian hotels have already rented every room they have for the entire period of the exposition. This Is true of the Palace hotel , of which I have already the plans for the American p-ulllon had that day been approved by the special fire de partment which had been organized for the exposition. Ho showed mo the design for the facade , but was not at liberty to permit its publication Just then. It will bo remi niscent of the Administration building at the World's ifalr In Chicago and will be quite the tlnest building erected by any visiting nation. Its elaborate white front , sur mounted by a tiemendous dome 180 feet high , will rise majestic on the banks of the Solno a little below tbo Alma bridge. Its site now Is utterly bare except for the pleas ant Muttering of Amcrlsan Hags. Whatever may have been the feeling of Franco toward America at the time ot the Spanish-Amer ican war , and whatever may be the general sentiment of the pecplo of France toward the people of America now , Franco has cer tainly shown the greatest dcslro to bo agreeable - able to our commissioners and generous to our exhibitors. Notwithstanding differing reports concerning the amount of space al lotted to America by the Paris managers , the fact remains that America has been given a larger floor area than any other ono ex hibiting nation , and when the fapaco on which our pavilion will stand was dedicated in the presence of Commissioner Peck nnd his staff tbo Frenchman In charge turned courteously to tl'o commissioner and Bald- "Gentlemen , jou arc on American soil , > ou need not cross the ocean to bo In > our na tive land. France welcomes the piesence of this small pleco of American territory as it over has and ever will welcome the citizens of your countrj. " Tinmcrlriiii I2xlillil < N , The American pavilion will have n floor area of 75\90 feet. Tbeio will bo four stories and aside from the offices of the commissioner general and his btaft of twelve commissioners for 1900 the building will be practically a homo for visiting Americans. There will too reading rooms , resting rooms , smoking rooms , toilet rooms , a bureau for gulden endorsed by the commissioner , a branch of the New York Chamber of Com merce , facilities for exchanging money nnd olHces of American express companies. Hven with all these things there will bo space left to bo utilized It Is probable that this will be divided Into rooms for separate states and groups of states , In which ono of the pleasantest features will be complete flies of homo papers , I asked Commissioner Woodward what he thought would bo the linen American ex hibit. "Probably machinery and electricity , " ho replied. "I expect America to take more fepaco in thoje sections than In any other. In one Held , -which was at the beginning es sentially French , vvp have made marked Iri roads. Our exhibit of American automo bile * will be extremely fine. "Another and very gratifying exhibit | ll bo < hat which our/painters will make. Our share of the art section will unquestionably be a revelation 4o France.

Corn Is little known over , here , and the Frenchman who alwavs llkci good I things to eat will open his eyes nnd smack hits llpa when ho tastes our American corn inufTlni "Nearly nil the slates are planning for special exhibits. Wo are also trjlng to secure some annexes to our national exhibit , ono In which to show tbo workings of our Agricultural department , and another ono with a t > plcal western log cabin , espechlly Imported for a forest and fisheries exhibi tion. Wo feel that wo have something to show concerning our merchant marine , and are also trjlng to annex n building In which to glvo an Idea of our chemical Industries. Still another plan which wo have In mind Is the erection of n great American printing press. Europeans understand little about American Journalism and almost nothing of Its mechanical marvels. There Is not a paper In Paris , for Instance , which can print moro than 10,000 four-pigo copies In an hour on any ono of Its printing presses. In America there are presses In existence which will deliver , cut , folded , pasted nnd counted , 48,000 sixteen-page newspapers , printed In flvo colors , every shty minutes. This would bo equal to 152,000 ot the French four-page papers'every hour. " The American government and the various state governments will officially spend moro than $3,000,000 on the exposition. The federal - oral appropriation amounts to $1,200,000 , and In addition to that almost every one of the states has appropriated a sum. These stoto appropriations range between $10,000 and $120,000. niillilhiK Hi" "IK Show. The man who said that every street In Paris seemed to bo called the "Rue Darrco" ( closed street ) spoke wisclj. The French capital is literally torn asunder and turned upside down by the approaching exposition. It Is pleasant for an American -who knows aught of our World's fair of 1804 to contem plate the exposition grounds In Paris. Tliey will not compare -with the great World's fair grounds in Chicago. This may bo wholly because of the circumscribed apace and It may bo because the French do not under stand as well ns wo do how to fay out the site for such a great show. There will be no such grand whole at Paris In 1000 as there was In Chicago six jcars ago. Some of the buildings will bo fine , two particularly the great and little palaces which will glare superbly and almost virgin -\vhlto on the Champs Eljsee after they are finished will be finer than anj thing that Chicago had. This Is not because of their impressive de sign , nor because of their tremendous sire , but because of the fact that they have - Sg lfV * j-fcgf * & & > "SBSia .

Paris , gay and beautiful at its vvon > t , will be at Its best and will bo saver and more beautiful than ever. The expo sition will neither begin nor end with the exposition grounds. This will [ o a largo extent bo duo to the fact that , unlike our World's fair at Chicago , the grounds of the great Paris show are located almost In the icart of the mo&t beautiful part of the city. Tbo same French government which will call out 15,000 men to protect Its president when he goes to the races will not hesitate o appropriate large sums for the decoration of the clty.outBldc- the exposition grounds. had a talk with an artist who was present with me at the quoen'6 Jubilee In London n 1897 , The English street decorations along the route of the parade were then tald o have been the most beautiful and ex- innslvo the world had ever seen. This ar- 11 , who ia now engaged In preparing bonw of the design * for the French decorations. ells mo that there ivlll bo thirty miles of greets moro beau'lfully dccwtfl .ban anv vcro In London , and that the decorations will not t > e for a day , tut planned to remain n good condition for the entire summer.

From the same vast subterranean tract In which the Catacombs grin gloomily horrid beneath the city , the stone for these buildings has been excavated In tremendous blocks , soft and almost as workable ns clay. Bofoio the exposure to the air hardens It this pleasant sandstone can bo easily carved Into those delightful designs ot which the French sculptors arose so thoroughly the masters. You can saw this stone with cross-cut saws as they saw logs In the forests.of Michigan.You can chip It with axes as the American carpenter chips his timber with his ndze , It Is scarcely less easy to handle than wood Is nnd has the whiteness and beauty of marble after It has been placed In position. The wbolo tremendous deus enclosure in which these great build ings am being constructed shines and gilt * ters bllndlngly from the white dust of thla strange stone. FIIIIIOIIN Alexander HrlilK < ' > The-so buildings form a group by them selves nnd between them will be the be ginning of the exposition's great avenue. Fiom them It will reach to the Alexander bridge , n magnificent structure of Iron and carved stone , more than twice as wide as any other bridge in Paris , This bridge 4a the very climax of tbo Rueslan frenzy which oppressed Paris two years ago , when the czar paid his respects to the French capital. Its Ironwork nnd Its stonework arc full of designs and symbols Indicating the fact that It was planned In honor of the czar France li somewhat uncertain In i's ' foreign relations with the balance of the world and what it would do vvlth Hilt , marvelous bridge in case the cordiality now existing between herself and Russia should suddenly ceatio Is an Interesting matter for bpeculntlon. Not far above It a great embankment hag been built out Into the Seine , which will carry ono of the mcflt Interesting groups of buildings In the entire exposition. These will represent old Paris. Stuccoed and browii'buamed , high-peaked and quaint , they will bhow the visitor of next year a gllmpso of the Puild which Hugo nnd Duinnt wrote abut , the Paris where every man needed to go armed to avoid asjatalnallon , the Paria In which the nation's rulers were changed as easily at > the Parisian of today changes Ills coat , the Paris where Intrigue and plotting and coniplrlng only gave to such gorgcoua fetes a we never sec today \cross the brhUc. with the slide * ! dome of the Hotel des Invalldcs ns Its climax , the great avenue continues between buildings which wilt doubtless bo beautiful when the time comes , but wblch at this stage look unmistakably cheap and tawdry. Flapping muslin , partially applied stucco , Raping windows dews all the ninny details of temperaty strut-lures show now unpleasantly. Hut amazing as It seemi to the visitor , the com mittee In charge- has formally announced to the American commission that these buildings will bo the firet to be ready for occupancy , nnd that exhibitors may plan on beginning to move In by Kio latter pnit of next month. The Paris exposition will.

What will bear an exaggerated rc- semblnneo to the wild hilarity of Chicago's Midway will also bo located In this neigh borhood. llniidllnpr the Crifnili , The most elaborate prepiratlons are being made by the Parisian authorities for handling ling- the crowds. All electric underground railway Is In course of construction , and indeed nearly completed. It will consist of a tunnel lined with white tile , nnd will , of course , because of Its modem motive power , i > o entirely fico from smoke nnd other dis agreeable featmcs This , in connection with the already existing street car lines nnd omnlbui routes , will furnish ample street transportation. The Parisian cab sjslcm Is well nigh perfect , also , nnd will be gioitly Improved ono way nnd another for the expo sition > ear. The late Is fixed. A trip , longer or short , In a Pails cab costs 30 cents. The late by the hour la 40 cents. Ono of the Important problems which con fronts the authorities concerns the handling of street trafllc by the police. During the Inst exposition the work of the gendarmes was extremely Incompetent and unsatis factory. Stiect blockades and accidents were very common. The work ot the London police In controlling the enormous trafllc which passes through the narrow streets of the English metropolis Is almost Ideal , and a squad of gendarmes -was sent over from hero to study the calm , impassive- methods ot the Biltlsh bobby. But the study availed little. Within a week after the Frenchmen had returned to Pails they had gone back to their old excitable wavs , which In times In any way approaching emergency become almost frenzied. Next jear It Is probable that better ivvoik "will " bo done by the French police. A certain propoitlon of the gen darmes heio havt already had their swordi taken away and have substituted for them little white billies like the day clubs canted by the force in New York City. Under the direction of their chief these men are. al ready being taught the secict of controlling trafilc and stringent prosecutions are teach ing the ebullient Fiench cabmen the ad- visibility of not only obeying the verbal orders of the gendarmerie , but ithcir slight est gesture as well. Taken all In all , it Is doubtful If any one visiting the Paris exposition from America will bo disappointed. Even at this stage of Us preparation it Is easy to sco that itwill bo a great and marvelous show. EDWARD MARSHALL A bottle of Cook's Imperial Extra Drv Champagne with your dinner makes it com plete.

There is a ceitain editor in New York relates the Saturday Evening Post , with whom the power of the daily press Is such a hobby that ho raised the salary of a sub editor who suggested a "Sunday special" on "Famous Gindtintcb of the Repoitors' Room , " and at once assigned his best rticssed reporter tf > Interview leading au thors along this line. It happened that Mark Twain wa.s In New York , nnd the editor counted on him as a striking ex ample of the literary value of newapapei training , The reporter was ordeied to spare no space for the interview.
