Tbo following powerfully gruphic descrip
. of tbe celebrated Paris morgue and
SCr . therein war written in July last by
Miss Lillian Lewis, during her sojourn in
P an and is now published for the first
time Miss Lewis is known as an accom
,Jbed literateur as well as aclever actress:
In a little one-story stone building, just
bsbini the church of Notre Dame, are ex
r> ei the unknown dead of Paris who have
beeu fished out of the near-by Seine, or
bee i foully dealt with, or bean killed by
one of the thousand accidents happening in
a great city. The building is, perhaps, 60
feet long and 25 feet high. It used to be a
r, or .L,„ of some old military barracks,
hit has been used for the city morgue
twenty-five vears. In the front of thu
building three doors open onto a busy
|Lf eet ‘ On entering the building you are
eoi fr’nted by a wooden screen 12 feet high
and 51 feet long. This screen serves to
keep the rays of the sun from shining
and rectly on the dead figures, and is also
useful at the time of a se national “find” in
keeping the crowd moving in a procession
from left to right or right to loft, as the
case may be, between it (tbe screen) an i the
heavy railing which protects the glass par
ti ion in front of the dead bodies.
This partition reaches from floor to ceil
in’ and from end to end of the room, and is
Ike a double w indow of ordinary thin win
dow glass. The inclosed dead room is kept
cool during ordinary warm weather by
of iron pipes filled with circulating
Ci , j wa ter. When the weather gets hot ice
is employed to keep the temperature down
much the same as in American morgues. A
mcmntic thermometer, suspended in the
middle of the room, faithfully regist rs the
degrees of heat and cold.
the bodies of the dead
ire on long iron slabs or cobs. These are
tiaced in a row back of the glass partition.
Apiece of sheet iron at the foot of the iron
liab prevents the feet of the cadaver from
touching the glass. The slab or cot is very
much inclined, and, with the extra aid of an
ir n headrest, brings tbe head at least a foot
hifher th in tbe feet, thus enabling a good
lull-length view of the body.
Until three years ago all persons brought
totbe morgue were exposed quite nude to
t*K waist. Since theu the practice has been
discontinued. Now the body is stripped of
ali the clothing, when brought to the
morgue, for examination by the physicians
and police, then placed, entirely naked, on
the irou slab aud the clothing put on top
of the corpse thus—the shirt is folded
and spread over the qfiest, body and
arras, the pantaloons folded and
placed upon the legs, then the vest and
coat are spread ia the proper places but all
pa too of the body; the feet are al ways bare,
with the shoes and stockings beside them ;
.the handkerchief, necktie, garters, suspend
■ e s, cane, whip, umbrella or any article of
■ dress is displayed to good advantage, with
■ tbe impose of furnishing some clew that
■ may lead to identifies: ion. The hat or cap,
■ be it silk, felt or straw, is put on the head;
■ if a w man, the bonnet or hat or shawl is
H put on her head.
H This practice is no doubt a good one in
H assi-biig identification, but it is uwful when
H employed as in a recent case I saw at the
■ l aris morgue. Picture to yourself a man
H4i years of uge + middle hight, blue-eyed,
H sparse-haired, a small, neatly-trimmed
H gray mustache, and well dressed. That is,
H the clothes which were spread on his re-
Hindus were of good material; the shirt
H sleeves and cuffs which lay beside his arm,
H Were of line linen and well laur.dried; oi
his head was a i.ew white straw hat with a
tu - ribbou band. This body bad been at
mirgue two weeks already on my first
|Hiisi:. The hands and finger nails and some
H tcihl" i" rti-.ns of the body were black and
H green, indicating an
H ADVANCED STATE OF PUTREFACTION.

WHEN ADELAIDE NEILSOX DIED
so suddenly in a Paris restaurant they took
her to the morgue. Bhe was uot placed on
exhibition, but kept ma little side room till
arrangements could be completed to send
her body to England. The proprietors of
the hotel st wh.ch she stopped in Paris
would not allow her corpse to be brought
to the hotel, and it was impossible for the
restaurant people to keep her there.
Back of the row of bodies in the dead
room are a lot of wire "figures,” such as
dressmakers use. On these are hung the
suits of the latest unidentified, who nave
only ju-t been buried. On the big wooden
screen three frames are hung—two contain
ph t .graphs < f the unclaimed. They ore all
numb-red, and allowed a certain length of
time in the frame, then they are taken out
ts make room for others. The other frame
is like a wooden box with a glass cover,
which is fastened with a lock. In the box
are a number of sheets of paper, on each of
these is pasted, with the morgue number of
the body, a piece of sock or stocking, a little
square of cloth from vest, coat or trousers;
any distinctive button, a tiny square from
the handkerchief, especially if it is marked
with a monogram or initial It seemed to me
that with
THE PUBLIC EXPOSURE OF THE BODIES
the photographs taken and displayed after
the body could be kept no longer, and the
samples of the clothes, that nothing was
left undone to get at who and what these
dead people wer *, and' how and why they
had found room here.
The Paris morgue is listed among the big
sights of the city in the papers. All my
life I had had tbe natural timidity and
shrinking from the sight and com
munication with a dead person, but
my experience in Paris has cured
me. While realizing thoroughly the awfui
ness of death in the abstract it can never
possess again for me a far awav intangible
horror and fear. The laughter'and jesting
and scoff and chaffing of the crowd on one
side of the glass pa tition could not mar or
disturb the silent dignity of the men and
women who lie so cold and still on the other
side. You half envy while pitying, for tbe
fitful fever is over for them and they have
solved life’s great mystery.

A MAN WHO DIDN’T STRIKE.
Sixty Years a Switchman on the Cen
tral—He Ones Defied Iwo Regiments.
Down at Stuyvesant, oi the Ceutral-
Hudscn road, there is stationed a switch
man who has been at his post ever since the
first traiu passed over the rails, and has
been in the company’s employ before that,
almost from the day when the first tie was
laid and the first spike was driven.
This man did not strike when Lee’s order
went over the wires on the evening of Aug.
8. He is not made of the sort of stuff of
which they are made that blindly followed
the beck and call of an autocratic leader.
Old Patrick Sweeny remained at the post
which he has faithfully guarded for nearly
sixty years now.
Although he is wholly illiterate, his men
tal powers have a natural vigor that is re
markable. Onco the company issued an
ordir directing that all switchmen who
could not read or write were to quit its
service. Pat got a boy in his shanty to
teach him how to read the numbers of the
engines so that he could report the time
and number of trains that passed his flag
shanty every day. Tho old man had ap
pearently passed the age when the mind
can yet be turned back and made to gras p
what it has outgrown, for he discharged
tbe boy, but his ear was still keen. Iu le-s
than a month ha had learned ti e numter
of every engine on the road by the sound of
its bell, and never made a single error in his
report. This is vouched for by people who
have known Sweeny half a century.
He does not know what fenr is, and a
story is told how he once defied two r gi
ments of soldiers because he knew what his
duty was and they did not. It was in April,
1862, during war times. Sweeny was at his
post on the road, which was then double
tracked north of Stuy vesaut, but had but
one track between that town and New York.
Fifteen carloads of soldiers on a special
train, bound for New York, reached Stuy
vesant early one morning, and Sweeuy, woo
was on the lookout, st ipped the train be
causa tiie traiu wbioh had immediately pre
ceded it carried no signal to give warning
that the special was b hind it. It was be
fore the days of block signals, and muca
depended on a remembrance of orders as to
how trains were to be run. The command
ant of the troops could not understand why
the train had come to a standstill. Leaping
from the traiu he began making inquiries,
aud found Sweeny standing at the switch,
which he had locked.
“What does this mean?” thundered the
officer. “Don’t you know these are federal
troops, under orders from Washington to
proceed to New York without delay? What
and > you mean by stopping this traiu without
orders!”
Sweeny pointed his thumb over his shoul
der in the direction of the single track.
“The train ahead carried no signal for
yez,” said he, “and there bees aii up traia
on its way.”
“Unlock that switch ins antly,” com
manded the officer, drawing his sword.
“Not a moment’s delay now. Unlock it!”
“I’ll not,” said Sweeny, and the words
were scarcely out of his mouth before a
dozen soldiers, in obedience to an order,
hustled the switchman into his shanty. One
thrust bis bayonet into the boards alongs.de
of Sweeny’s neck. The ot iers pinned him
in a similar manner under the arms. Half
a dozen others placed the muzzles of their
loaded muskets within a few inches of his
bead.
“Give up that key and let this train pro
ceed,” was the command, and while no
threat accompanied it the switchman knew
that the next order would be to pull the
triggers. He never flinched.
“Not wan foot does this train move,” he
said, without a tremor.
“I will give you one min ”
At that moment a shrill whistle was
heard, and before the officer could finish his
order the train from Albany came flying
along at the rate of forty miles an hoar.
Sweeny’s watchfulness had prevented a
terrible disaster. He knew well that the
first train should have displayed s gnal flags
to indicate that there was another foil >w
ing. Had he permitted the train carrying
the soldiers to proceed there would have
been a frightful collision at about Stock
port, where a curve through a rocky cut
snuts out all view two hundred yards
ahead. It didn’t take either the officers or
the men long to realize what a narrow
escape they had made and to appreciate the
bravery of the switchman who was ready
to give np his own life rather than permit
a thousand men to put theirs in danger.
Famous Sam Sloan was president of the
Central iu those days, and when he heard
of Sweeny’s courageous conduct he sent
him a check for a generous amount, and
summarily discharged the engineer and
crew of the train that had run through
without a signal. And, strange to say, no
strike was ordered because of their dis
charge, nor was President Sloan asked to
specify reasons.
