Fund for the Chicago Poor.

New YORK, November l4.-Sometime
after the Chicago fire a number of French
and German artists sent to this city a
collection Of paintings with directions to
dispose of them for the benefit of the suf-
fering poor Of Chicago. The sale netted
$4,000 which has been on deposit at in
terest with the Union Trust Company.
Mayor Medill having informed the oom-
mittee in charge that the money was not
needed, the committee is now consider
ing plans to place the fund. Several
plans are proposed, one being to found a
certain number of scholarships for art
students in Chicago. and another to in
vest portion of the funds the yearly in
terest on which shall be given in prizes
for the best specimens of art, and still
another is to make over the whole
amount to the Chicago Academy of Fine
Arts. One of these plans will probably
b" adopted before the end Of the year.
