Planning a Hull House for Paris

Planning a Hull House for Paris
From the Chicago NEWS.
The movement TO establish in Paris
an institution closely modelled after
Hull House. the famous social reform
center of Chicago, made great step
forward recently when the promoters
received the consent of the municipal
council to take over the land formerly
granted to the ~Universite Populaire.
This scheme, which aimed at the es-
adjustment of a great popular educa-
tional center, has not been successful.
and while at Wednesdays meeting the
municipal council merely transferred
the land for an Indefinite period to
those identified with the new move
ment, il is expected that the council
will make the grant perpetual and un
conditional. In many other directions
also the novel idea is great deal
further toward realization than it was
at its inception two months ago.
Trustees of the new Institution in
clude Ernest Lavisse, professor in the
Sorbonne and a member of the Acade-
my. and George Picot, member of the
Institute and director in the Comp
toir d'Escompfer. Jules Siegfried, who
recently visited Chicago, has been in
formed of the movement. and when he
returns will be invited to join the trus-
tees. The movement is assured of the
support of the Temps. the Journal des
Debats and the Figaro.

They RECALL AN OMEN

Buffalo, Sept. ia strange sto.y
was told by many OF the Buffalo p,n.
pie who stood waiting under the cleo.
trio lights at the corner near the Mil.
burn house. 1t was recalled again and
again during the night by one and an.
other. About six weeks ago there
was competition at the Exposition
grounds among several fireworks com.
panies. One OF the largest pieces
was fire portrait OF Vice President
Roosevelt. Under his portrait We're
the three words. Our Vice President

picture had hardly become SO distinr;
that the features were recognizable
when the first two words went out as
though they had been snufed. The
word President burned brighter AMI
brighter under the portrait until they
all faded
Many OF those who saw the thing
commented on it at the time. Most
spoke of II lightly as an omen that
Vice President Roosevelt would BE
elected President OF the United
States in 1901, but not few were
heard to say that they hoped that 1t
did not mean that any untoward thing
was to befall President Mckinley.
