FRANCE PAYS TRIBUTE
MEMORY OF EMILE ZOLA
Despite the Curses of Clericals
and Cries of Ontraged In
tellectuals.
DEFENDER OF DREYFUS
HAD1M4NY ENEMIES
And These Would Prevent to Placing
ot-His Body in the Pantheon—Pro
phetic Utterances of the Great
Publicist.
Paris, June 3.—With pomp and
ceremony such as has marked the
apotheosis of no French literary man
since Voltaire, the government and
people of France will tomorrow pay a
last tribute to Emile Zola, socialist,
apostle of realism and defender of
Dreyfus. Despite the curses of the
clericals and the tearful cries of out
raged intelluctuals who covet for
themselves the place to be given Zola
In the Pantheon, the ceremony will
doubtless takfe place as scheduled.
The decision of parliament to thus
honor the author of "J'Accuse" has
aroused a veritable tempest. As in
the Case of the great Voltaire, the
people are divided In warring camps,
some indulging in the most heartless
abuse of the dead author, while the
majority are lost in the profoundest
adoration. To the clericals, the apo
theosis of Zola, the free-thinker. Is the
final step of the government in mak
ing France wholly "Infidel" and God
less,
Even Mme. Zola has opposed the
placing of the body of her husband In
the Pantheon. She declares that his
labors of forty years, his part In the
Dreyfus affair, and the insults of the
Reactionaries Tiave done more for his
fame than can the Pantheon. "I am
grateful to those who desire to do my
husband homage," Mme. Zola writes,
"but I do qot find the transfer of his
body to the Pantheon to be necessary
for his glory."
It is principally because Zola was
the leader and the accuser in the
Dreyfus affair that he Is now to be
gloriously burled beside Berthelot and
President Carnot and Victor Hugo,
beside Voltaire and Rousseau. And
beside bis letter "J'accuse'' routed
the general army staff mournful,
martial music Is to blow In. his honor
while long lines of soldiers defile be
fore hlg tomb.
The chief Interest of these official
ceremonies lies In the comparison of
what Is known now, on evidence, with
Zola's accusations, which, neeepport
ed ten years ago, broke down the legal
and judicial wall that prevented the
Dreyfus case being appealed.
' Thursday"morning. January 13. 1898,
the famous letter appeared in M.
Clemenceau's paper, L' Aurore.
Soon, very soon, the whole world
was alive to the fact that where there
had been only a question of the
judicial error of a particular French
court In the case of one particular
man, there was now a Dreyfus Affair.
With a single word Maurice Barres
has cleared the minds of the Parlia
mentary majority concerning the real
motives of their national homage to
Zola. "You have triumphed in the
Affair."
In the collected edition of Zola's
works the document known to the
wide world from its Imperious formula
"J'Accuse," appears only as "a letter
to M. Felix Faure, president of the re
public." Three years later Zola, who
could not forsee the near approach of
-sudden death, wrote a second letter,
which the yorlij scarcely noticed, "to
M. Loubet, President of the Republic,"
He expresed, with that violent elo
quence to which battle raised him, his
sore disappolnment at the apparent
ending of Case and Affair-Dreyfus
convicted a second time and accept
ing a pardon, and Zola himself am
nestied against his will, and new ac
cess to the courts, thus Beemingly
barred. These two essential docu
ments, by which alone, perhaps, Zola
has earned immortality, are some
what lost In their chronooglcal place
among his writings on the Dreyfus af
fair, all making up a single volume to
which his favorite words have been
given as a title: "La Vertie en Mar
che."
Zola did not live to see the definitive
rehabilitation of Dreyfus by the Court
of Cassation in 1906—and even then
there was much lacking to satisfy his
desires. But the- Incomplete publica
tion of the testimony given before
this tribunal, legally and judicially
supreme, Is sufficient to estimate the
support which ten years have brought
to his first accusations. - Of the con
sequence of his letter "J'accuse" In
French politics and society and re
ligion, it Is impossible to give any es
timate for they have started to rum
ble infinitely down the ages.
It Is difficult to realize now how lit
tle was known In general about the
Dreyfus case when Zola took up the
cudgels. The original trial, so far as
was known, had passed off regularly.
Anti-Semitic Influence was suspected
from the obvious fact that the notor
ious Libra Parole had information at
first hand from what was a secret tri
bunal legally.
Now, after ten years, after all the
work done by the Court of Cassation
to prove the absence from the start of
any case against Dreyfus, there has
still been no judicial clearing up of
what threatens to remain one of the
problems of history. And, which Is
worse, no legal responsibilities have
been fixed. ' •
Zola himself wrote bitterly to Presi
dent Loubet when amnesty had come
to "close forcibly" this first period of
the affair, which, so far as Zola and
hhs accusations are concerned, still
endures. "They promise us, as an In
demnity, the justice of history. It Is
a little like the Catholic paradise,
which helps to keep quiet on earth
wretched dupes choking with hanger.

Suffer, my friends, eat your dry bread,

of this world sleep In featherbeds and

als to walk In honor while we, the

when we are dead we shall have

In the Pantheon.
No Wonder He Fled.
A tall, solemn looking young man
entered the restaurant with a mild,
apologetic air and seated himself at a
vacant table near the middle of the
room. It was evident that he dreaded
to Intrude. He wanted to get as far
away from other people as possible.
He even blushed painfully when he
gave his order, and the most casual
observer could have told that he was
bashful.
brought to him a buxom looking wo
man with seven small children entered
the place. The head waiter swept the
field with his eye, pounced down upon
the table where the young man had
sought solitude, motioned to the moth
er, who clucked to the chickens, and
I a moment later they were all around
that one table.
That young man's face was a serial
story.
Other people entered the restaurant,
glanced at the group, smiled signifi
cantly and seated themselves.
"He doesn't look it, does he?" queried
a pleasant faced old lady in an audible
whisper.
"She looks at least ten years older
than be," murmured a girl at the next
table.
He flew to the hatrack, tossed a half
frown to the waiter and tried to go
through the door without opening It—

A Wasted Opporunity.
"Ole BiU" Foote and "Ole BUI" Eng
lish were political traveling compan
ions, and many stories were told of
their Joint Journeying.
The two hardy Democratic campaign
ers were doing southern California one
election time and got Into the country
at the back door of Los Angeles. One
night they reached a farmhouse where
they had expected to find lodgings.
The farmer had nothing but two arm
chairs. Foote and English pleaded tof
beds—cots, trundle beds, anything that
looked like a bed. Notblng doing.
The campaigners, like Napoleon or
Grant or like Washington at Valley
Forge, slept in their chairs.
When the first advance agents of
dawn scudded out of the west, the poli
ticians laboriously got out of their
chairs and went out for fresh air. They
met the old farmer milking the cow
with the crumpled horn.
"Do you know, gentlemen." he said
blandly and without contrition, "you
could have had a bed, after all? I was
expecting two Democratic orators here
last night and saved the beds for them,
but somehow or other they never show
ed up, dang 'em."—San Francisco Call.
The King Had Rights.
Once when Macrend.v was perform
ing at the theater at Mobile, Ala., his
manner at rehearsal displeased one of
the actors, a native American of pure
western type. This Claudius in "Ham
let" resolved to "get even" with the
star for many supposed offenses, and
In this way he carried out bis purpose.
When In the last scene Hamlet stab
bed the usurper he reeled forward and
after a.most spasmodic finish stretch
ed himself out precisely In tbs place
Hamlet required for bis own death.
Macready, much annoyed, whispered
fiercely:
"Die farther up the stage, sffc"
The monarch lay Insensible, upon
which In a still louder voice the Ham
let growled:
"Die farther up the stage, sir."
Hereupon the Claudius, sitting up,
observed:
''I believe I'm king here, and I'll die
where I please."
The tragedy concluded without more
ado.
Broka Up His Speech.
Judge Norton was solemn, stern and
dignified to excess. He was also ego
tistical and sensitive to ridicule. Judge
Nelson was n wit and careless of de
corum. He did uot like Judge Norton.
At a bar supper Judge Norton In an
elaborate speech, referring to the early
days of Wisconsin, described with trag
ic manner a thunderstorm which once
overtook him in riding the circuit The
scene was awful, "and," said tbe judge,
"I expected every moment the light
ning would strike the tree under which
I had taken shelter."
"Then," Interrupted Nelson, "why In
thunder didn't you get under another
tree?"—Philadelphia Ledger.

Bellberately struck her. She -made no

rapidly growing anger, he struck her
for the fourth*time she shrieked aloud,
and her bead flew off. She was only a
match.—Qphemlan Magazine.
