Los ANGELES, Nov. 9-Wilfred Glover

VICTOR HUGO AS AN ARTIST.
His Interest in the Dramatic EX-
pressed in His Drawings.
ScTjper'S.

1t viii not be without interest to say
a word or TWO with regard to the draw
ings of Victor Hugo. We shall find some
excellent specimens hanging In the bill
lard room. Victor Hugo drew with pas
SionaIe enthusiasm, and this enthusiasm
passed from his brain into the least line
ne drew. He had besides this al instinct
for the dramatic: he found it everywhere;
in the tempest, in the calm, IN a tuft OF
grass as well as in the sidereal im
mensties. This perpetual consciousness
Of the dramatic in everything was 50
natural to him that, if he took a sheet
OF paper. a little black coffee, and the
end of a match he could, by looking into his
own imagination, that transformer Of
memory. draw in quick SUCCESSION, as If
from life, the dramatic pictures which
followed one another there. There is only
one other man who possessed to so great
a degree this faculty for creating the
fantastic and visionary; this was Gustaye
Dore. But the fantastic OF Dore is COLI
monplace and without dignity, whereas
that of Hugo is superb and original. And
why? Without doubt because Hugo was
transmitting his own particular Dreams
while Dore realized those OF all the
world.
There is TO scientific Skill in the vulgar
sense in Hugo's drawings, but a spon-
taneous creatiyeness, contemptuous of all
rule and OF everything ever seen before.
1t is the vigorous and pure expression OF
the idea predominating for the moment
in his mind, the only one, because Of its
very Intensity, and this spontaneity is
carried TO such a degree that almost all
these drawings seem to have been done
by the light OF flash Of lightning. Add
TO this thai this man, so adept with his
hands and persevering. brought an i'm
mense amount of concentration and skill
to bear upon his works, which gave them
the air of things materially rare. These
observations seem to me to explain why
Victor Hugo, in his manifestations as a
graphic artist, remains saninimitable master,
and of power equal to that which he dis
played in a literary direction.

MARRIAGE IN ABYSSINIA.
Some of the Curious Customs of
the Land of Menelik.
Family Story Paper.

There are two kinds Of marriages in
Abyssinia-civil and religious.
The religious marriage alone is indis-
soluble, however. There is no written
contract between the parties, and the
goods are in common.
In case OF divorce, in the civil mar
riage, everything is equally divided be-
tween husband and Wife.
Women bring no dowry to their hus-
bands-llusbands bring their wives.
Girls are married as early as eight years
OF age, at times
heenga gementlasts about three months,
and every time the young man goes to
see his bethrothcd he takes a present to
the family.
The girl is not allowed to appear, how
ever, during the visit
Sometimes, to be sure, tie two manage
to exchange a look and word by bribing
the servants.
Some days before the marriage eight
members of the two families dress them

dance IL front of every house in the place,
and receive gifts i'll return.
Should these gifts I OF come voluntarily,
they are taken by force.

knocks a the brides house.
"Who are you?' is asked from within,
'Such one" is answered.
"What do you want?''
Your daughter, my wife?'
I'VE do not know where it is. Look for

And then follows a mock chase--for it
is well known where the girl is-and the
girl is carried off by the "best man." who
thus becomes her, friend and protector in

Banquets are given at both families

ceremony the young couple are allowed to
enjoy each others company in undis-

LIVES LOST ON THE LAKES.
Sixty-Six Souls Went Down the Past
Season.
Chicago Chronicle.

Chicago Chronicle.
In navigating tile great lakes during the
season now closing siXty-six lives were lost.
Compared with previous years, this list is
much below the average. There have been
many storms, but owing in a large degree TO
good luck, vessels have escaped Another
cause for the lcssening OF disasters is the
improved construction of lake boats, all
vessels now coming out being built % ride
out tile severest storms known in this lati-
tude.
The season has been remarkably free
f1om disasters where large loss Of life
was involved. The most serious disaster
was the wreckIng of the schooner Wau-
kesha off Muskegon, November7 by which
six lives were sacrificed by tile disobe-
dence OF the crew, who let go the anchors
when their boat was riding out a gale on
a lee shore. Next in point of numbers was
the loss Of the schooner Mary d. yer,
May IT.
The schooner Sumatra foundered off
Milwaukee September 4, carrying down
four seamen. A boiler explosion on the
Rhoda Stewart off Alpena ended three
lives, and three were burned with the
City Of Kalamazoo November 30 July 9
the schooner Little Wissahckon was lost,
taking the captain and two OF his crew
with her. The loss on both the Aver and
the Little Wissahickon was due to the
faithfulness of captains who endeavored TO
save the craft, but instead lost their own
lives
Twenty-six sailors fell overheard, either
on the open la Ike or in harbors, and were
drowned. Six fell through open matches
and were killed. One diver was suffocat-
ed when at work on the steamer Cayuga
Miscellaneous causes make up the balance
OF the death list of sixty-Six.
But one passenger of the vast number
carried by lake steamers was lost. II win
never be known whether this passenger
fell overheard or committed suicide, but
it is believed to be case OF suicide
