14 2, = FOR OLD SOLDIERS Hotel des Idvalides Was Originally Built for Them. WILL BE PUT 70 OTHER USES SOON Napoleon’s Tomb and Its Archi- tecture Its Main Features. WELL KNOWN TO TOURISTS Byecial Correspndence of The Evening Star. PARIS, March 11, 1898. CROGNEU- gneu!” Only an old sol- dier or a general high up can swear like that in Franc>. It is not really so bad —just plain swear- ing, mumbled in the mouth—"Sacre Nom } de Dieu.” But when the old soldier pulls his grizzled mus- taches and rolls his eyes until they start from his head the swearing is quite lurid enough for the Frenchman who takes sweetened water for his intoxication. The old soldiers have reason to grumble. A littl: over two hundred years ago the “grand monarch”—Leuis XIV, the “Sun- King.” as his courtiers called him—built the great Hotel des invalides for them. It was only for the “‘invalided” ones—the old, with their breasts covered with medals and d-corations for past bravery, or the mu- tilated, one-armed or one-iegged, or, like “Silver-Bellied” General de Gallifet, with a metal plate instead of the natural covering of their wounded abdomens. Scidiers of this Kind have never been wanting to France, for she has always been the turbulent naticn, slapping her glove across the face of her neighbors, and then running them neatly through with her chivalric rapier—wherever she was al- lowed. Wh2n not allowed—but that is an- other story, of which the last act_so far is the trial of Zola. What can the world be coming to when France permits a mere man of letters—half Italian at that—to attack the army, “the supreme idol of the fatherland?” “Scrogneu-gneu:”” Before we criticise we must remember that the army is to the French people s«m2thing of which we commercial Ameri- cans can have no idea. The stories told to little children, the models put before young men and the heroes of maidens’ dreams— ali belong to the grand army, with officers and m2n handsomer in their slashed uni- forms and feathers, braver in battle, more generous and generally daredevilish and gallant than all the other soldiers of the werld, taken singly or combined. Even Prussia is not so thoroughly soak24 with the military blue. Since the explosion of the great revolution a century ago every femily in France in every generation has krown what military glory is like. No weud2r that the few old veterans left around the Invalides walk sadiy in these dcys when the republic is permitting law- yers and other word-tricksters to call the gcnerals te account. Put to Other Uses. It was a sign of the times when it was decid2d to change the destination of the Invalides. No more old soldiers are to be sent here to keep guard over the tomb of their demigod, Napoleon. Preparations are alr:ady making to give up the whole im- mense building to_the offices of the mili- tary goveraor of Paris. The veterans who are now here wiil be allowed to stay until they join the phantom army: but then it will be finish2d. Perhaps a few, as a reward of merit, will still be kept in the Museum of Artillery, which occupies a small portion of the build- ips, to show ound tourists, as do the Queen’s “Beef Eaters” in the Tower of Lon- den. Fut the special character of the In- valides is going. Visitors to Paris must hurry if they would see what is left of the clden time—that which furnished so fit a Setting to the tomb of the great conqueror who was more Italian than Zola, but who knew how to make himself the greatest Fero of the French. ‘The old soldiers are not consoled by being days the army is the whole nation, since every*able-bodied man has to ds bis years of military service, and that, corsequeatly, the hotel fer the invalides of is XIV's time is far too smali, besides i Lone of the accommodations which nineteenth century has taught even old soldiers to expect. The Situation. You ceme up to the Invalides from the left bank of the River Seine, across the long parade ground of the Esplanade, with its borders of trees. Here a good part of the exposition of 1900 Is to be placed, and a raliway is to cross its lower end, along the riverside. In the middie the new bridge of Alexander III is building, and the broad avenue which will be opened clear across to the Champs Elysees will have the gilded deme of the Invalides for a perspective. All round the terrace in front of the building passes a fosse wide enough not to be jumped over, but of no earthly use in modern warfare. It is dry, and green grass grows at the bottom. Alerg the stone em- bankment of its further side frown rows ef cannons which France captured from her enemies of other days. They would be abeut as practical as the fosse in our day, but they are highly ornamental. Among them are bronze pieces—long, large, decorated with all manner of orna- rmertal sculptures and inscriptions, like works of art, forming the “Triumphal Bat- tery.” Two were taken from Austria and eight from Prussia 100 years ago and more, and here are two captured from Russia within the memory of man. There are fine Algerian pieces, with Arabic inscriptions, and a Chinese cannon as fine as the Chinese percelain which was brought from the sack of the suramer palzce to the Louvre. On the two square gate houses across the €rawbridge zre carv in solid stone the fat, round face of Louis XIV, with his symme rical wig accurately parted and waved from the middle, in the midst of rays. The wicked Germans have given the rame of the royal wig to the peculiar ar- chitecture which the Sun King used in the Iregnificent buildings of Versailles and her at the Invalides. It is the “Perukenstil Solemn buildings they are, accurately part- ed in ‘he middle, with a massive gable at €ach end like the heavy curls over the ears, Napoleon's Tomb. With all its plainness and monotony it is @ truly royal architecture, and casual visi- tors do not get the proper enjoyment out of it. As the guide—he ‘s seldom one of -the eld soldiers, who are tuo dignified for visi- tors to ask—hurvies them inside the build- ing they do not stop to look at the unique facade. It is an immensely long, straight building ef four low stories, broken in the middie by a great arch rising above the portal ol the eaves. ‘This in itself is a lesson in the Louis XIV style of furniture. All the decoration is made up of symbols of the spirit which ne imprinted on the susceptibile minds of his people. The bundles of weapons and arms are agreeably surmounted with the radiant face of the sun king. “The state—that’s me!” said this monarch, and the whole out- side of this building showed he was right. But the moment we step inside the great quadrangular court, round which this sol- emn barracks of the Invalides Is built, we Gre iu another presence. On the further eide, in the middie, rises the front of the church of the place, with the beautiful gilt dome, the mesterpiece of Mansart, .which architects compare with the dome of St. Paul's in London msing proudly above it. In the central niche, where some hoiy statue should be, stands the only incarna- tion of France since the sun king went the ‘Way of all flesh. Without pomp of mythoi- ogy. in his plain coai and hat, with his hand thrust in his vest, stands the great Napoleon, whose tomb fs visited by all the world, just behind the high aitar. In the church itself hang the flags conquered by France in this century, for the older ones were burned to prevent the allied armies = them after Napoleon's first great defeat. This is the place best known to tourists, who look et the tablets set up to indicate the latest burials of the marshals of France —MacMahon, who got on so badly with the republic when he became its president, and Canrobert, who never cared to get on with it at all. Behind, in the crypt, open to the light of heaven, under the massive red granite tomb given by Russia, amid the flags from Austerlitz, lies the only man whose memory now comforts the French People. “Serogneu-gneu!” A tear rolls_down the grizzled mustaches of the old soldier, who knows that he shall not be replaced in the Invalid es. STERLING HEILIG. Won Two Battles in Her Socks. “An old Georgia lady, past ninety,” writes to the Atlanta Constitution: “I allers knowed thar would be another war be- fore I died. I allers had faith that I would live to see more fightin’. I say I had faith in it, and I have never ceased to knit sox for the soldier. I kept ‘em supplied endurin’ of the late war, and 1 have three hundred an’ thirty pair of war sox on hand at this writin’. Many and many a poor soldier died in the sox I made. But some few come home in ’em. General Lee wen two battles in sox I sent hira. What do you reckon the gov- ernment would give me a pair for ’em?” AUCTION SALES OF REAL ESTATE, &c.- Toda: James W.
