infer that Victor Hugo himself had such
museum In contemplation from the
earliest year Of his life. He seems to have
preserved and labeled every article that he
ever touched, and they all assembled
here except the manuscripts Of his plays
and novels, which are preserved in the
National Library.
Perhaps you have read an amusing skit
written by Mark Twain many years ago on
The Dying Words of Great Men, in which
he represents the heroes and statesmen of
the past carefully preparing their last
words and making manifold copies of
them for the press. Victor Hugo must have
had some such arrangement, judging by
the number and the character of the relics
that have been preserved. They have his
clothing from his childhood, the pen quilts
with which he wrote his different novels,
locks of his hair his teeth, casts of his face
and hands before and after his death. etc.
Paul Maurice his intimate friend, who
played Boswell to Hugo's Johnson seems to
have been always standing around to pick
up and stow away his cast-off clothing and
other articles used by him. His hero assist
ed him with assiduous care and an egotfsm

every one Of those pens and labeled them

Maurice followed him to the Island Of
Guernsey when he was banlshed from
France for writing book on Napoleon the
Little" Hugo lived there for several years.
where he wrote The Toilers Of the Sea-
and several other novels; and everything
that he had to do with was preserved.
His mother, his children. his grandchil-
dren. his secretaries, the women he boarded
with and his friends were all very careful
to preserve things for him. and they are all
here. The family is dying out. There are
two grandchildren. George Hugo, a rich
gentleman Of leisure who lives at Florence,
Italy. and Jeanne, rather rapid lady. who

In the opinion of John w. Gaifney the strike of the bricklayers and ma sons is as good ss settled and he sesa no reason why the men will not be- gin to 50 back to work next week. He declared that the masons and bricklayers had no grievance when they Nent out except that they were In sympathy with the carpenters. who have settled their differences with the bosses, and he thinks that in 8 few days many of the maSons will be back at their places.
 "Is there any chance of the ma sons' strike being settled during the next few days?" he was asked. 7 Why l think 1t Is as good as set- tied now" was the reply. "The men were out on sympathetic strike with the carpenters and as they have made peace see no reason why the ma sons will not come back. s
 When asked if the men would all be taken back he replied that he thought they would. "Of course there might be some contractors" he con- tinued. ":who have not any work and they would not be expected to take their former help. certainly would take back my ten men and would be glad to have my old hands as am sure would the other contractors.
 MT Gaifney seemed to think that there would be no hard feelings be- tween the men and the bosses and said that he sees no reason why the masons and contractors will not be pulling very smoothly in few days. He declared that there were some who might be working out of town who might not come back immedi- ately, but he thought they would be back if given time.

WANDERING AND DEMENTED.
Man Supposed to Belong to Beacon
 Falls in Need of Food.

Joe Nichnadoevics was found wan dering on the streets last evening by Officer Dunphy and he was brought to the station. The man apparently was demented, but this morning had enough sense to tell where he be- longed. He said that he lived in Beacon Falls with his brother, but was not being treated well there. so he walked to Waterbury. He seemed to be very much in need of food. and nourishment This morning some steak was brought into him at the station, but he would not eat. nor would he touch any bread because there was butter on 1t. He also re- fused to drink coffee. Although he talked as if he were of sound mind the authorities think that he should be looked after. Superintendent Morris of. the charity department knew the man needed assistance, but said that if he belongs in Beacon Falls he should not become charge to the city of Waterbury.
