Victor Hugo died yesterday afternoon at

Hugo was born in Besancon, February 26,
1902. The son of an officer whose dulles
called him out of France, he was carried in
childhood to Eibs, Corsica, Switzerland and
Italy. In 1909, he was taken to Paris; and
here for two years, under the exclusive su-
pervision of his mother snd the care Of an
old priest, he commsnced his classical stu
dies In company with an elder brother, Eu-
gene, and q young girl, who afterwsrd be-
cams his wife. In 1911, his father having
been made General and appointed Major.
domo of Joseph Bonaparte the new King o
Spain, Victor went to Madrid and entered
the Seminary OF MOBILES with view OF be-
coming one Of the pages of Joseph; but
subsequent events defeated this desigp.
In 1912 Madame Hugo returned to
Paris with her two sons, and had their clss-
sicsl education continued by the same cler-
gyman who had already instructed them.
On the fall Of the Empire separation took
place between the General and his wife, and
thenceforth the young man was placed en-
tirely under the control OF the former. He
entered private academy 10 prepare him

as an original aud forcible prose
writer, but already displayed that pre-
diltction for the horrible and monstrous
which characterizes most of his greater pro-
ductions. His second volu ue of "Odes ct
