Americans, unfamiliar with Pnrb, cannot form any adequate conception of tho Importatico of f' Is qjo.it on here, where thousands of mo'.or earn tear madly through every park, every st-eet and rvrry road. During tho last two years the news paper) havo recorded fanllilea every c a glo day. It must bo .laid. It was frequently tho riders themselves who wero kllleJ by overturning at sharp curves, smashing against another automobile or hitting a wall at tho end of a steep dcc'lne. Oftener, though, tho automobile ploughed through a funeral procession, entered some 3hop or upset an omnibus, killing people In no way concerned In the new sport. All the Kronen aristocracy and 'meet of the editors of the I Paris dallies being rhaufours, the counts j have been lenient, the plea being that they must not hinder a great nnd developing in dustry. It was the peasantry who rebelled hist. Then Hughes I.eroux, a well-Known uovel 1st, after seeing his wife? and child marly overrun on the Bols do Loulogno, wrote n long article to tho Figaro, giving fair warn ing that, in view of the absurd Impotence of tho police and the 'enli;y of tho courts, ho would make an example and shoot nuy chaufcur endangering .him.

(Copyright, 1900, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, April 21. (New York World Ca blegram Special Telegram.) Mrs. Evan gcllno Claire O'Neill, wlfo of Henry O'Neill, Chicago's broken "bnrley king," whose ox trnvagnnco led to her husband's failure in business, is contriving to engago n great deal of attention In Paris these days. Fre quently sho leads a troupe of ragged bog garts into a fashionable pastry shop to gorge tbomselvea with expensive dainties. Sho drives tho guards frantic and goto threat ened with nrrcst,for Insisting upon her right to sit on the railing of the Eiffel tower platform with her legs dangling outsido. Her latest prank consisted of a display of advertising in an American nowspapor hero of u gigantic ealo of costly lace clothes. Her namo and her address, 40 Rue Tocquevlllo, being given, tho wholo American colony went out of curiosity to Inspect the offer ings. Tho women unanimously report they never saw such an extravagant display of fashlonablo garments as given by Mrs. O'Neill. Any prlco offered was accepted. Thcro wero exactly 315 gowns, American and French; elxty-two Independent skirts nnd 165 hats. Silk blouses, all Intricately patterned, embroidered and laced wero too numerous to count. Alt tho garments wero piled pcllmell In tho mlddlo of a large par lor sovon feut high. Everything was very fresh. Now York fashlonablo American womon, who wore with friends, affected dis dain, but returned later to make heavy pur chases ot things which could bo altered to fit thorn. Mrs. O'Neill, who reached Europe via Montreal seems to bo rolling In wealth. Ilor reason for such a wbolcsalo sacrlllco was that sho was tired of the sight of theso clothes and wished to order others. NOT DEAD ENOUGH TO BURY EmlinrrnmiliiMr .MlxtuWr nt n Turin lloa liltnl Tiirnx (Int Well for the Aliened Corpxe. (Copyright, 1000, hy Press Publishing Co.) PARIS. April 21. (Now York World Ca blegram Special Telegram.) A funny hap pening is now diverting Paris. Captain Laval, soveral weeks ugo, entered tho mili tary hospital. On Thursday some distant relatives received an olllclal notice ot bis death. This notice said tho b dy would be delivered for Interment on Friday at 10 a. m., but if It was not called for It would be burled at tho expenso of the stato. Luval'B friends hastened to mako prepara tions for elaborato funeral services. All Laval's friends wore notified of tho day and hour of tho burial. Though Captain Laval's regiment was in Algeria, a largo number of ofllcers were present when tho tlmo enmo to start. In tho funeral proces sion was also n military plckot sent by tho governor of Paris. Tho numerous attendanco waited patiently for two hours for the Btart. Inquiries then brought tho Information that tho body had mysteriously disappeared. Laval's relatives, who had been searching in every room, finally came out on the porch to dismiss tho party, expressing at the same tlmo their indignant conviction that Captain Laval had been dissected to nothingness against their wishes. Just as cvorybody had hurried to leive tho hospital court the missing corpse was discovered Inquiring from his stupefied friends who was being burled. It seems that some clerical error was responsible for the wholo mess, a death notlco being served instead of a rclcaso warrant tiled on the register. Any wny, Iaval had left the hospital, completely cured, early tho same morning that 600 people were gather ing to escort him to tho cemetery. Ho happened to return shortly after to Inquire about some forgotten effo:ts. After ex planations had 'been exchanged Laval's hrother ofllcors compelled him to sit down to tho most Invlsh dinner he Is likely to enjoy before bis death and final doparture.

Tv emphasize bis corporation alllllatlons ami bis utter disregard of public sentiment, but a few weeks ago, while drawing his salary as senator, he appeared In the supreme court of this state as the paid attorney of the Standard Oil company, the most gigantic trust that ever cursed the public and debauched Its public servants. With a record of broken pledges, most solemnly made to tho voters of the state, his supercilious disre gard of public opinion, he now thrusts himself forward as the. dictator of the party In this state. Already his emissaries and every recipient of his patronage, either In possession or In prospective, are at work to con trol the nomination anil fasten his leadership on the party. Such leadership would mean nothing less than that tho old gang that In the past disgraced the party In the state and overwhelmed It with disaster Is again In the saddle.

DIVISION OF TIME FOR WORK AND PLAY Alternation of OeenpHt ton and He luxation In Kixciillnl In the Maintenance of tlir Cere brill Kiiullllirluni. (Copyright, 1900, by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON, April 21. (New York World Cablegram Special Telegram.) Sir James Crlchton Drowne, M. D., vice president of tho Royal Institution, ono of tho highest English authorities on mental and nervous diseases, and author of soveral works on those Hubjects, in reply to r question, "How is life to be divided between work nnd play so that It may bo mado brightest and long est preserved?" writes: "Tho man who gives himself up wholly to play Is an lnobrlate, requiring reforma tory treatment, and even that may not save him from premature decay. Tho man who devotes himself exclusively to work Is a glutton, who damages his constitution nnd curtails his working days. Hut how is tho moderate man to lay out his tlmo between work and play to the best advan tage? Tboro Is, thero can be, no general rulo In such a matter. If, however, some general indication be Insisted on, I should say tho trades unionists havo come as near tho mark as may bo, with eight houru to work, eight hours to play and eight hours to sleep, if piny bo takon to mean all con scious existence not devoted to bread win ning, eight hours Is not excessive In a handicraftsman, but if it connote activo amusement, then n much smaller doso Is sufllclent.

The brain, as we know now, dors not act as a whole simultaneously in all its parts. Rest during the continuance ot consciousness Is as essential as sleep to tho Integrity of the nervo cello. Whsn rest la withheld and activity pushed too far, then fatigue oil an km aro induced in them. The cells too long kept Incandescent become shrunken. Tho fatigued brain cell can bo anatomically dlstlugulshed from one fresh and vigorous. Tho fatigued cel. speedily re covers Itself when allowed repose, tho strain of activity being shifted eleewhere, but It seems tho Inordinate and too frequently re peated Induction of tho fatigue stnto leads to the premature establishment of these changes In tho colls, to-wit: Granular de generation and pigmentation that are in cidental to old age. Exccsslvo addiction, therefore, to work of any ono kind by over taxing and exhausting tho nerve cells in ono corebral nrea tends to net up early senile changes In them, which may spread from them throughout, while It Is harmful In an other way by withholding from tho cells of other arms tho oxerclso necessary to their healthy metabolism. The grand rulo for tho adjustment of work and play would seem that they should be so balanced as to call Into regulnr play all the different systems of brolnwork. "In regard to the relative development of theso In each particular case no experienced physician should have much dllllculty In ad vising auy man as to tho naturo and dura tion of tho recreation which he should In dulge. In adult play there almost always Is an element of childishness, because it Is nlniowt Invariably u reversion to activities, conspicuous in childhood.

It Is lamentable to see stock brokers spending their evenings at cards, or lawyers, unless briofless ones, in gratuitous disputations. Tho division of life between work and play, so that the most may bo made of both, must be not merely diurnal. Sabbath hna been a llfo-savlng institution, and should be Jealously maintained. An oc casional day off takes the place of periodical bloodletting, and an annual holiday is as essential to parents as to children.

Their playtime la prodigious, but so long us they arc on the bench they havo to work their brains, genuinely work them, so their well-used brains remain exempt from rust nnd age In an altogether unusual way. On tho othor hand, I have seen several cases of mental failure of men still In tho prime of life, duo to their compulsory re tirement from public service when they had no other pursuits to turn to, or wero sick ened of perpetual play. j "JAMES CRICHTON I1ROWNE."

Opium Joints havo sprung up all over Paris during tho last two weeks. Somo of theso establishment aro modestly appointed; others nre sumptuous, showing that the moil behind them command cnpilal. Tho exposition Itself will be comparatively clean, thanks to the campaign against al lowing tbo obnoxious midway business. Outsido tho grounds, however, immense preparation haa been made to gratify tho viciously inclined. In this connection, It is Interesting to give n samplo of the rabid hatred of,ull foreigners which characterizes tho rationalists. Jules Lemnltre, tho fam ous academician and political leader, writ ing about this universal nctlvlty to pander to every low Instinct, says: "But, after all, It Is tho foreigners who will succumb most easily. Therefore, let us rejolro, for It will cost them money, which will remain here, nnd they will return to teach tho vices for which they reproach u to tho bar barians, whose boasted energy thus will bo sapped. In tho struggle among tho races for supremacy every weapon Is fair." Theso unworthy utterances from Biich a man cuuned a ripple. Lemnltre's friends disavow such talk. It Is said that he him self acknowledges ho made u mistake. The Krench Society for tho Preservation of Morals Is now moving to compel the police to take specially vlgoroua measures against vice during tho exposition. Agitation continues over the fact that God was never mentioned In the Inaugura tion speeches of President Loubet and Min ister of Commerce Mlllerand, whon iho ex position was officially opened.

Newspaper urtlcles now dally denounce tho president nnd his cabinet as a band of thclsts, which teems to bo true, us nonu of them ever attend church except on ofllclal occnslonH. Tho resentment of the Catholic party Is now thoroughly aroused and every priest lu every town nnd village Is harping upon tho subject. Experts claim that this willful falling to call God's blessing upon tho fair may havo tremendous political cou Hequonccs In tho near future.
