mpresslons of a Former Newberry

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 neighboring windov
olds a life-size Venus de Milo, laceE

government circles not only towar<

ase of the situation will serve t<
lustrate this: two decades or more

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

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.
