Seabrook.) pecial to Herald and News. Paris, France,-Reverence is not the eynot of Parisian character, nor are he inhabitants of this city overwhelm d with respect for the treasures o' rt, history and religion, which it con ans. Possibly it is the same story o: amiliarity breeding contempt, but nc natter what the cause, some of the ffects are astonishing. A well-knowr ealer in elastic bandages, trusses anc urgical instruments has recently in lied in the show-window of his es ablishment on the Rue de Rivoli pagnificent bronze reproduction o: icheal Angelo's David; the legs ol hich he has encased in rubbe: ockings, guaranteed as a sure curt r varicose veins. The statue is fur er decorated with a body-bandag' esigned for use in case of broker bs, and other appliances that canna mentioned in an American famil2 ewspaper.

The same spirit manifested towart ings religious ceases to be amusing nd the length to which the sacrilegi at the administration has done n< rong. The separation of Church an< tate is still an oper. bleeding wound he whole subject is far too seriou! r a stranger to venture comments o: inions, and I am meitely recountini few plain facts which any travele: ay verify. That deep hositility exist: government circles not only towar< e Catholic church as a State institu n but toward the Christian religiol r se, is incontestible. One singl ase of the situation will serve t< lustrate this: two decades or more go, the church decided to erect 0] e summit of Montmartre, in th' orthern part of Paris, an immenst ilica, and the edifice stands toda: pranly completed, with the ex ception Of the campanile: it is one or the largest modern sti-uctures in the world. and from a distance is gran diose and imposing. but at close range is sometimes carried is abominable. There is scarcely a vaudeville. burles que or music hall that does not adver tise Jesus Christ among its come dians and present upon its stage a shameful caricature of the Saviour. In a like manner the leading bookstores make a feature of illustrated volumes known as "La Bible Comique." in which sacred subjects are treated in an obscene and blasphemous manner. The clergy declare that Clemenceau and his "Atheist" government are the cause of these and similar evils, while sup)orters of the administration say the church has retarded the nation's progress. and had to be abolished as a State institution. and. consequently. the style is- heavy and the ensemble lacking in coherence. However. fine points of architecture are beside the question. The parish is very proud of its achievement and its pride is shared by the church at large. A few years i.go. a number i o! adivoC-tites of ".fr'ee thought." men who were hand-in glove with the national governmient. obtained the grant of a small piece of land immediately in front of this church. and converted it into a small public square. on which they erected the statue of a young man being burn ed at the stake. The inscription is as follows: To The Memory Of The Chevalier La Barre. Tortured and Murdered At the Age of 19 Years By The Catholic Church Because He Had Failed To Kneel Before A Religious Procession. The parish and the clergy generally were filled with indignation. The sta tue, unquestionably a work of art. stood within the very shadow of their church door; their children could not attend divine service without being contaminated by it; no stranger, whether pilgrim or tourist, could enter the church without first noticing the monument and having his mind poii oned by the words thereon. They ap-1 pealed to the law. of course in vain, for the thing could never have been placed there without the express. spe cific permission of the government. In deed. its erection was a government act, the expenses of which were de frayed by a private society. The par ishioners posted placards, protesting against the deed, declaring that the inscription on the monument was' without foundation in fact, and that the Chevalier La Barre had i,een con demned and executed by a criminal court of justice. But the placards were torn down within a week, while the monument is designed to enure for centuries. Words cannot describe the bitter, bitter strife engendered by this and similar proceedings. Paris has scores of monuments, most of which have been erected within the past ten or fifteen years, dedicated to the mem ory of men whom the inscriptions say were martyrized by the church. That of Etienne Dolet, on the Place 31au bert, not far from Notre Dame, is one. of the best known examples. A cir cumstance, of the same genre, was the "empantheonization" of Emile Zola. The Pantheon, it will be remembered, was built by the architect Soufflot, during the reign of Louis XV, and was destined to replace the ancient church of the Abbey of St. Genevieve; build ed, then, on sacred ground. it was con secrated to the worship of God and to the memory of the patron saint of Paris, and its dome is still surmount ed by a cross. The revolutionists de cided tha,t the Pantheon should be de dicated to the great citizens of France. and traced upon its facade this in scription. "Aux Grand Hommes La P artie Reconnaissante." When the re mains of Rousseau and Voltaire were1 transported to the Pantheon, the! clergy felt that a holy shrine had~ been defiled. and when these two 1tombs were violated during the Res toration, the churchmen regarded it as a judgment from on high. Their first indignation, however, wvas nothing as compared to that which they felt when Zoa's body was placed in the crypt. Catholic journals, which have as yet by no means ceased to lift their voices Sin protest. charge that the deed was! done not to honor Zola, but -with the sole intent of insulting religion and morality. The family of Presicden t ISadi (Carnot has demanded that the administration restore to them the Sbody of their kinsman, which was rplaced in the Pantheon prior to that Sof Zola. The administration. on the rother hand maintains that all this Sprotest is but another example of Ca Itholic "bigotry and intolerance." This -last phrase tempts me to interpolate a word or two- regarding a trifling de Stail which may bear on the same Squestion. In Parisian argot. or slang, Sany aged lady. of devout habits and Spronounced Christian faith, is called a S"bigotte." The expression has passed Sinto such common usage that the word's original meaning has been lost. ut-amrinlistration newspapers at . -ie.
