This notification ought to be sufficient
to interest all. Contributions can be
sent to the secretary, Rev. Rogers

copal church, or to the agent of the
society, Mrs. w. B. Duggan.
The treasurer's report showed the

paid out was $154.74, leaving a cash ball
ance on hand of $15.43, with bills
amounting to over 5000 yet to be paid.
The receipts from boxes in Zeigler's

VICTOR HUGo's DAUGHTER.
Mile. Adele Hugo, an Old Woman
Still Living Near Paris.
From the Commercial Advertiser.


Many persons are under the impress
sion that Mile. Adele Hugo, daughter
of the great poet, whose centenary is
about to be observed with magnificence
in Paris, is dead and buried, after hav-
ing passed the greater part of her eX-
istence in a private asylum. 1t was
always known that Adele Hugo had
been crossed in love, and that her rea-
son became affected thereby. She was
placed in private asylum near VIM
cennes, and for years was lost sight of
by all except a few friends and rela-
tives.
a lady who writes for the Fronde
has been making diligent Investigations
and states that she has found Adele
Hugo alive, in good health, and in full
possession of all her faculties. The
poets daughter is living comfortably in
an establishment on the banks of the
Seine near Paris. The place must be
kept IL secret owing to the wishes of
the family. Anyhow, Adele Hugo, now
a fine, tall, gray-haired old lady of
sevenry-two years, is there attended by
a companion and maid. She takes
daily walks in the park of the establish
ment, occupies herself with scientific
studies, being especially interested in
astronomy, and occasionally goes to Il
theatre. where she sits in rallied box,
unseen by the people. These periodical
visits to the playhouse form Adele HUI
COS only concessions to the present age,
for she chiefly lives, we are told by
the lady investigator, in the past, and
never reads A newspaper. She is COM
pletely in the dark about the enormous
preparations being made at present for
the celebration of the centenary of her
fanou fathers birth.
Another writer, Nj. Octave UZanne,
notes today that it was Adele who col
lected her fathers table talk between
1852 and 1856, the first years of his exile.
The manuscript of this collection was
seen by NJ Uzanne in the establishment
of an autograph dealer near the British
Museum. He was prevented by the
poets family from publishing any frag-
ments of the talk ten years back but
row, on the approach of the centenary,
he communicates few extracts to the
Echo de Paris. Like Luther, Coleridge
and Bismarck, Hugo discussed many
things at table, and nearly everything
that he said was interesting. Some of
his conversation, as M. Uzanne appro-
priately points out, revealed his innate
vanity, and showed that he was ran
corous to those who failed to treat him
with due consideration.

Behind that apostrophe lies the story
| of the Joke which rich old Indiana
| farmer played on the directors of 8
great railroad company. The farmer In
question owned several thousand acres
of land in one body. When the railroad
was built it was found necessary to
cut through his land. The right of way
agents went to the old farmer and
asked him to set price on a strip rur-
| ming through his farm few hundred
feet wide.
He laughed at them and said his land
was not for sale at any price. He
didn't believe in railroads anyhow and
didn't want one running through his
property. They offered him huge
price for the land, for they had found
other property owners in the vicinity
reasonable and did not care to start
any condemnation suits unless 1t was
absolutely necessary. But the old far
ner would not listen to them. His in
come was twice as large as he cared
to spend, and he rather enjoyed the po-
sition of blocking all the efforts of a
great corporation.
The claim agents made up their
IHlIiuS tHdl lHey WOulu nave 10 start Il
suit and were about ready to bring it
when they were surprised to get let
ter from the old farmer.
IF you'll let me name the town you
are going to build on my land" he
said. I'll give you all the land you
need"
They accepted his terms with glee.
OF course, they expected that his vanity
would lead him to name the town af-
ter himself, and they were quite pre-
pared for that emergency. But he
fooled them. A written agreement was
t.rawn up and signed and the deeds
passed. Then they asked him for his
name. The old man grnned broadly.
well call it Helltown," he said.
They argued with him until they saw
it was useless. They could not back
out, for the papers had already been
signed. Then they decided they would
get even in another way. The elided
