VICTOR HUGO'S HOUSE
The Old Mansion Has Been Pre-
scented to the City of Paris.
IL Will De Maintained as n Memorial
to the Great French Author
Filled with Interesting
Curios.

Visitors to Paris, especially those of
literary proclivities, will hereafter find
q new point of special interest in the
mansion of Victor Hugo, which
through the generosity of the grand
children and near kin of the great
author, has been presented to the city
and will be accessible to the public as
a museum, to be maintained as a spe-
cial memorial to the man whose works
have been more popular the world over
than those of almost any other French
writer. Thus will France have a me-
mortal Of her gifted SOL and one who
suffered SO much in the u of lib
erty, similar to England's home of
Shakespeare at Standardization, and
to Germany's home of Goethe at Wei
mar, which the poet occupied for 40
years.
The historic Hugo mansion, on the
Place des Vosges, is the one in which
the poet spent some of the most ac-
tive years of HIS long and splendid
career in the world of letters. 1t is
nearly 20 years since deaths touch
stopped the vigorous brain and busy
hand of Victor Hugo, yet the condi-
ton of the mansion is much the same
as when he occupied it. In addition
to the furnishings of the house, which
are practically those which were in
use during the life of the poet, there
are many valuable souvenirs, of his
work, a library of 5000 volumes, and
a collection of the authors drawings
and wood carvings, besides gifts and
personal souvenirs, portraits in paint
ing, and sculpture, and much else of
an artistic and historic value. There
are also scattered about the spacious
rooms of the mansion many souvenirs
of Victor Hugo's friends, including
Lamartine, George Sands and the ell
der Dumas, consisting of inkwells,
pens and letters. The room where the
author died is exactly as it was at the
time of his demise, the furnishing of

Says a telegram from Copenhagen,
|, dated Feb. $: 1.-The intermittent agi-
| tation for separation of Sweden and
Norway has reaWakened In an acute
form with the retirement of King o.
car and the possibility of war is open
| ly discussed The present cause Of the
! dispute is the revival of the question
of establishing separate consulates
abroad, which originated in 1892. The
feeling in Norway is accentuated by
the serious damage which it is alleged
Norwegian commerce is suffering
from the present arrangement Of joint
consulates. Norway has been recently
considerably charging her ornaments,
and the policy of M. Stang, the minis
ter of defense, in fortifying the from
tier is regarded as giving color to the
rumors of. Norway's determination to
push matters to an extremity. The
liberals refuse to accept official deni-
ais concerning the gravity of the
situation and demand NJ Stang's
resignation"

has granted a site in the wide Eugen
square. Plans for new playhouse
