TBE BASTILLE,
This St?ry of Its Blee and of its Fall Told;
Pabis, July 14.?The republican gov
I ernment of France selected the anniver?
sary of the fall of the Bastille aa the great
national holiday. That fall occur?
red on July 14th, 1789. Today, conse?
quently, is something more than a mere
anniversary?it is the centenary of the
event. ?
Like the devil, the Bastille was not eo
black as it has been painted. But like
the proverbial dog it was doomed when
it got' a bad name. For a century ? aud a
half it had been looked upon by the
French people as the emblem of tyranny
and oppression. And the first sign that
the people gave of that mighty unheavui
which was to sweep away the last ves?
tiges of feudal despotism and pave the
way for a new government?of the peo?
ple, by the people and for the people?
was the capture and destruction of the
Bastille.
It was a surprising event, a' thunder?
bolt out of a sky that had seemed but
temporarily obscured. Few people read
the meaning of the portent. Among the
few-iwastheD'tc de Lioncourt.
"Sire," said he to Louis XVI, "that
signifies the ruin of the monarchy."
The Bastille 1 The word itself is harm?
less enough etymoiogically. It comes
from bastir (now batir), to build, meant
originally a building, then a fortified
building, and finally losing its general
meaning became restricted to the Castle
of St. Antoine, which, from being only
a bastille, came in due course to be called
the Bastille.
PORTE 8T. ANTOINE.
And what was the Castle of St., An?
toine ?
Centuries ago one of the gates which
allowed an entrance through the ancient
fortifications of Paris was known as the
Gate of St. Antoine. In the - reign of
King John, or even earlier it Was flank?
ed by two towers. In 1369 Charles V
ordered Hugues Aubriot to construct sis
new towers, which were completed in
1380, and the simple gate became a
strong fortress.' In the sixteenth'century
an enciente, flanked with bastions, was
added.
FROM A FORTRESS TO A PRISON.
Originally a fortress, it was neverthe?
less from a very early period used as a
State prison also, and eventually it be?
came more of a prison than of a fortress.
There is a popular legend '\at Dr. Guil
lofcin was the first to suffer on the bloody
I machine which he had invented. A le?
gend of the same sort insists that the first
! victim ahnt np in the Bastille was Anbriot
: him?elf. ' But not until the reign of Louis
X. Jl did it become recognized as a regu?
lar place of confinement, as the King's
private prison, in short. It was Eiche
lien who first, by his plan of wholesale
imprisonments, pnt the Bastille to what
from that time became_ its normal use.
Louis XIV, who believed that Pilot c'ett
i moi, carried out' what Sichelieu. had
begun. All forms of law were thrown
aside. A lettre de cachet?& slip of paper
signed by the Kipg and countersigned
by one of the Ministers?was enough to
f hurry the most distinguished citizen into
; the dungeons of the Bastille.
HOW ARRESTS WERE MADE.
To affect the arrest either force or
stratagem was often employed, for Beere-'
cy was above all things necessary in
matters of State. An officer touched the
shoulder of the offender with a white
ward, and ordered him, in the King's
name, to follow. Resistance was rarely
offered, for resistance waa in vain. Acor
I riage was in readiness, the prisoner was
hastily smuggled.into it, au. officer on
each side of him."
i Before entering the gateB of the Bas?
tille the first sentinel cried "Qui viveT1
The chief escort answered "Ordre du
Boil" Then an officer appeared to ex?
amine the lettre de cachet, then the gates
wera opened and the prisoner left the
world behind him.
He might belong to one of two classes.
The first were simply shut up as a mea?
sure of precaution or for "correction."
They were subject to investigation, and
the length of their incarceration depend?
ed on the King's pleasure. The second
class lay under some serious charge or
suspicion. , They also' might, if his
Majesty so willed, remain in prison in?
definitely Without trial or judgment, or
they might be brought to trial in the
ordinary courts or- before special tribu?
nals. If adjudged guilty they were no
longer imprisoned in the King's name,
but in the name of the commission, and
then their lot became pitiable. Torture
might be employed to extract a confes?
sion, but torture, after all, was not pecu?
liar to the Bastille nor to France. Indeed,
the treatment within the prison was
milder than was supposed. No instru?
ments of torture were found in the,prison
when it fell in the bands of the mob.
The small chambers under the founda?
tion of the tower which were said to be
oubliettes of a peculiarly horrible kind,
have been pronounced by Yiollet le Due
to have been nothing more than ice
houses. At the same time the Bastille,,
like most if not all prisons everywhere
until a late \date, contained loathsome
cells, which seem to have been UBed for
the punishment of the refractory.
For the prisoners who remained in
the King's name the Bastille was consid?
erably more comfortable- than most
prisons are now, and almost all of them,
even persons of no private means, -lived
after a fashion compared to which the
fare of a wealthy first-class misdemeauant
in our own days is severely Spartan.
Five courses were allowed at dinner, with
two bottles of wine, either Champagne
or Burgundy, and a third > bottle was
given to be drank during the day. Food
and wine weire paid for by the King.
When Marmontel was imprisoned in
1762 he was surprised, after making a
very fair dinner on the first day of his
imprisonment, to find another and more
sumptuous meal set before him. The
dinner he had eaten and relished had been
intended for his servant! No wonder
some, when free, petitioned,' like Dick
ens's Dutchman, to be taken back again;
while others, arranging with the gover?
nor to live on simpler fare, and to share
the consequent savings, often took away
a nice little sum when their term was
over, Then they had skittles, bil?
liards and tennis, just like gentlemen
outside.
"WAY PRISONERS WERE JAILED.
Many and curious were the reasons
which brought prisoners into the Bastille.
Young men of good family were impris?
oned for profiigracy, noblemen for fight?
ing duols, occasionally a husband who
suspected his wife of infidelity procured
a lettre de cachet on her behalf. A. gro?
cer cries out against the monopoly of
whale oil, he is sent to the. Bastille as a
summary lesson in political economy.
An architect's son disobeys his father
and refuses to enter the priesthood, be
is BaBtilled to give him time for reflect
tion, and so also is the envoy from the
Elector of Brandenburg for mentioning
to his master One of the many love affairs
of the Grand Monartjtle.
It was this high-handed lawlessness of
procedure rathe? than the internal regu?
lations of the Bastille that rendered it a
hissing and a byword among the Jacob?
ins. Indeed, the lawlessness and the
secrecy with which that lawlessness waB
administered resulted in the invention
of hideous, tales of cruelty that were
' either fabrications of exaggerations.
the capture of the bastille.
The Bastille helped to bring about tie
Revolution, and its destruction was the
first act of the revolutionists. But at
the time of its destruction the Bastille
had long ceased to be a State prison.
Seven victims only were found, four of
whom were common forgers. Nor, Jn
deed, Was the capture of the prison the
act of heroism which it has sometimes
been assumed to be.
On Sunday, July 12, 17?0, the signal
for civil war had been given. An insur?
gent mob at Palais Eoyal echoed back
Oamille Desmoaliing's cry. to arms. That
night the slums of the city emptied their
inhabitants to plunder churches and'
commit all sorts of excesses. At 9 a.m.
on the 13th of July the people seized
npon a depot of ai ms belonging to the
city. Everything was in tumult. The
bursting of the storm might be appre?
hended at any moment. The night
finished in the midst of chaos, tumult and
a general preparation for slaughter.
At break of day on the 14th the mob
invaded the Invalides in search of arms.
Treason assisted them, the gates were
thrown open, the muskets were seized.
At 3 o'clock that afternoon the Bastille
was besieged. The first attack was un?
successful. But the Bastille was| not the
the terrible place it had been in its early
days. It was insufficiently garrisoned
and one-half of that garrison was dis?
affected. ? The Governor, Da Launay,
sought to parly with the crowd. Finally
he agreed to capitulate on condition that
he and his .garrison should be spared.
But when the mob had received admit?
tance the Governor and some of this
officers and men were butchered and their
heads were paraded through the streets on
spikes.
: On the following day the towers of
the Bastille were razed and its dun?
geons filled with the copings of its battle?
ments.
the bastille.
But even then nobody dreamed what
was to be the outcome of this sudden
outburst of popular fury. Alme, de
Genlis, wishing that her pupils, the sons
of the Due d'Orleans, should see. all that
was going on, took them to witness the
pulling down of the Bastille. "It is
impossible to form an idea of it," sho
says; "the dreaded fortress was covered,
even to Its highest roofs and towers,
with men, women and children, all
working with unheard of ardor." That;
amazing number of voluntary laborers,,
their activity, their enthusiasm, the
pleasure of beholding the destruction of
that frightful monument of despotism
"made Paris frantic with joy on the eve
of the Reign of Terror."
Little did Mme. de Genlis dream of
what it portended. Little did she know
that the demolition of that ancient build?
ing meant death to the husband of her
youth; death to the father of the young
princes at her side; exile to them and
herself; honor, agony and death to al?
most all her friends. Little did she
dream that an awful social upheaval was
at hand; that chaos would be restored;
that the old order would be swept away.
And even if she had foreshadowed all
this, she could not have seen further,
she could not have looked beyond the
temporary interregnum to a new order
wider, better and nobler than the old,
which should spring up out of the chaos
to a new France, rejuvenated, purged of
the errors, the injustice, the crimes of
the past, a France in which the rights of
man would be respected, and liberty,
equality and fraternity be the watch-word
?the France of to-day.
And since all these results flowed from
the capture of the Bastille, it is well that
the France of to-day should celebrate
the anniversary of that event, bo small
apparently in itself, yet big with the fate
of the nation,
The Great Political Puzzle.
Just after the last Presidential election
was the Southern question and the Cabi?
net that would be chosen. The same
thing comes invariably after every politi?
cal fight. There are issues to be made
and the party in power and the party
that is not are at daggers' points, each
fighting for its own convictions. Now,
if the cure of malarial fever is the ques?
tion there is no need of a congressional
'fight or any long debate. The simple
method to be adopted is the taking of
Westmoreland's Calisaya Tonic, which
promptly removes all signs of malarial
poison. Sold by all druggists.

Tho Telephone.
He had never seen a telephone, and
his friend was showing him how it work
ed. It was in his office. He called up
his house, and his wife came to the tele?
phone. "My deaf, Mr. Jones is here, and
I have asked him to come up to dinner."
Then he tiifned to Mr, Jones and
said:
"Put your ear to that, and you'll hear
her answer."
He, did, and this was the answer :
"Now, John, I told you I would never
have that disagreeable wretch in my

"What was that?" spoke out Mr.
Jones.
Women are quick. A man would
have simply backed away from the tele?
phone and said no more. She took in
the situation in a second when she heard
the strange tones, and quick as a flash
came back the sweetest tind of a voice:
"Why, Mr. Jones, how do you do ? I
thought my husband meant another Mr.
Jones. Do come up to dinner. T sh..ll

Bather Heavy Joking.
President Cleveland was fond of a joke,
so much so that he' found himself com
Selled from time to time to repress hie
imposition in this regard. One of the
best incidents in this line occurred when
Congressman Lawler brought forward for
introduction, simply to pay respects, one
of his constituents, an odd character from
Chicago, ex-Alderman Pat Sands, who
accumulated a large fortune in the
plumbing line and* loaning money at
Shy lock rates of interest. The ex-alder?
man loved his hoard like a miser, and,
appreciating the situation, Mr. Lawler
called the President a side, saying: "I
want you to have a little fun with my
friend here. He is a Democrat and very
wealthy man, but holds on to it strongly.
Just ask him to lend you $100,000 and
observe the consequences." Mr. Cleve?
land at once "caught on," and when Mr.
Lawler presented Mr. Sands in glowing
rhetoric' as one of the most enterprising
and patriotic sons el' Chicago, the Presi?
dent grasped his hand warmly. After the
nsnal compliments, bad passed the Presi?
dent drew the ex-alderman aside and
said: "Alderman, I am delighted to meet
you, and I want yon to do me a great
favor 1"
' "A favor is it ?" innocently replied Mr.
Sands. 'Til be greatly honored, Mr.
President, if you'll only name it, and Pat
Sands is your man."
"Well," continued the President, in
the most confidential manner, "I can't
tell my private bnsinesB to everybody,
but as you are a good democrat, and a
friend of my friend Congressman Lawler,
I don't mind speaking freely to you.
You see I got married a few months ago,
and the expenses were very heavy, I
must, of course, keep up appearances,
being the first Democratic President
elected in a quarter of a century, and the
fact is I'm hard up just at present. My
salary is $50,000 a year, and it's all spent.
Now, I want you to loan me $100,000,
say for a couple of years, at seven per
cent., and help me ont of my trouble.
You can spare me that small amount
without missing it.
Totally unprepared for any such de?
mand, Pat Sands' jaws dropped asunder
and his eyes bulged out to the size of
a Bermuda onion. He essayed to- speak,
but in vain. He looked first one side
and then the other, and the scene became
so ludicrous that both the President and
Congressman Lawler could hardly con?
tain themselves. The effect was just
what Lawler expected, for the ex-alder?
man was greatly shocked: the veins of
his forehead protruded, and he seemed on
the verge of an apoplectic stroke at being
asked to give up ?100,000, even to the
President. Unable to longer stand the
pressure, the ex-alderman rushed forward
and, seizing Mr. Lawler by the coat tails,
he dragged him toward the door, crying:
"Lawler, let's get out of this! Great
God, man ! Did you ever hear the like
of that ? A hundred thousand dollars!
Why, if. would ruin me forever I"
Mr. Lawler allowed himself to be
dragged away, while President Cleveland,
although keenly enjoying the joke, was
evidently alarmed at the terrible effect it
had produced. The ex alderman never
stopped to take breath until he was out
of the white house grounds and safe on
Pennsylvania Avenue. Hurrying to
Willard's hotel he hastily packed his
gripBack, paid his bill, and made for the
railroad depot, notwithstanding the pro?
testations of Mr. Lawler who endeavored
vainly to explain that the whole affair
was a joke. Mr. Sands waB not-to be ap?
peased nor mollified, replying:
"I'm off for Chicago by the first train,
and don'tyou forget it. And I'll not
come to Washington again to pay ray
respects to all the Democratic Presidents
that ever lived. Why did you tell the
President that I was a rich and influen?
tial citizen ? I'd give ?5 in cash if you
had only told him I was after a watch?
man's place in the Chicago custom house
at $50 a month !"

The price refused by Pope Julius was
therefore about $125,000, and that, too,

it is now worth.

Sugar Piled High for a, Big Squeeze.
There is scarcely any room to doubt
that the Sugar Trust is preparing to make
a vigorous battle to snstoiu present prices
if not to force them still further up the
scale.
Previous to the first advance in prices
a year ago the storage of large quantities
of refined sugar was a thing unheard of.
The price of granulated sugar at retail
was then about six and a half cents per
pound; now the same article sells at ten
cents a pound.
The first large storage was made by
De Castro & Donner, of No. 117 Wall
street, and at the time attracted much
attention in Brooklyn, where.the sugar
was deposited with the Warehouse
Trust. When 1 called on the firm a n
asked the meaning of this new movement
the manager blandly denied that the firm
wa3 storing sugar, and when informed
that the barrels bore the brand of his
firm innocently said he supposed some
purchaser had stored the sugar. There
was no ?proepect of any advance. Oh,
dear, no ; quite the reverse. In spite of
these assurances a corner was made, and
in a few days refined sugar stood at seven
and a half cents, and kept on advancing
to ten cents, where it now stands.
For more than two months past the
trust bos been rtishing tbe storage of
sugar with the Warehouse Trust, and
to day there is scarcely a dry, clean,
available warehouse on the Brooklyn
water front that has not some refined su?
gar stored in it.
ENOUGH TO SWEETEN THE "WOULD.
Like the shrewd man that he is, E. B.
Bartlett, manager of the Warehonse
Trust, took first innings by filling his
own stores, then Watson's & Pierrepont's
stores came in for their share, and I
have every reason for believing that
to day there are at least two hundred
thousand barrels of refined sugar in the
warehouses between Fulton and Wall
street ferries.
Nor is this all. About five weeks ago
empty warehouses around the Atlantic
Basin came in for a share. Over forty
thousand barrels were stored in Findlay's
stores, north of the entrance to the basin,
and 5,000 barrels were stored in the Com?
mercial Wharf or Laimbeer's stores.
The latter were too damp and dirty for
the purpose and work there was discon?
tinued. Since then work has been carried
on at'Findlay's. The North stores are
practically filled and for the past week
large quantities of sugair have been put
into Findlay's stores, south of the entrance
to the basin'. Yesterday at times there
were not less than eight or ten lighters
discharging, some on the channel Bide and
others on the basin side,
A man who watched this storing care?
fully said to me last night that there
were over one hundred thousand barrels
of refined sugar in the basin then. The
work was being rushed with the utmost
vigor, as though the Sugar Trust was pre?
paring for some emergency.
LOOK OUT FOR A GRAND SQUEEZE.
There is very little donbt but that the
combine is preparing to squeeze the mar?
ket by still further advancing the price of
this necessary of life, and ib would be
nseless to attempt to deny that a very
bitter feeling is arising against the mag?
nates of the Sugar Trust. This bitterness
is more apparent in Brooklyn than in New
York, because the operations of the trust
are more exposed to public view. Sensi?
ble, steady men have said to me that an
attempt should be made to induce the
public to do without sugar until the com?
bination comes to its senses.
This storing of sugar will bring decided
pleasure to one body at least?the Ware?
house Trust. The storage fees will reach
a very handsome sum, and by the way.
the surplus could be profitably expended
on the wharves of the Atlantic Dock,
some of which are scarcely safe to walk
over, while on others weeds and grass
flourish to a height of eighteen inches.
From all that can now be learned at
least three hundred thousand barrels of
sugar are now locked up, the value of
which at present prices is something enor?
mous, and it is likely to be still more un?
less tbe trust scheme is foiled by the
wholesale and retail grocers and the pub?
lic? New York Herald.

CAUTION
W. L. Douglas' name and the price
are atamped on the bottom of all Shoes
advertised by him before leaving his

If your dealer does not keep the style or kind you want, or offers you shoes without
W. L. Douglas' name and price stamped on them, and says they are just as
good, do not be deceived thereby, but send direct to the .Factory for you can get
what you want by return mail, postage paid. Dealers make more profit on un?
known shws that are not wanranted by anybody; ther^ not be induced to
buy slides that have no reputation. Buy only those that have W, L. Douglas*

formed, as my shoes are made in a great variety of widths, sizes and half sizes, I
guarantee a fit, prompt delivery and perfect satisfaction or money refunded upon
return of the shoes in good condition. W. L. DOUGLAS, Brockton, BKut.
