New Tork uses Its school buildings
for lectures too. It was the first city
in the world to incorporate adult educa

of the department of education fojrthe
uplift of the city's people. The first
year lectures Were held In six school
houses itrthB-wngMted districts. - There
were no illustrations, the halls wera

flights of stairs. The. six lecture cert

This lecture department has been
Instrumental in widening the scope of
the school buildings' uses, and during
the 20 years of Its existence It has
witnessed a marvelous progress in New
York's vast educational work. It has
seen the Americanization of thousands
of incoming people and the establish
ment of kindergartens and the sending
of kindergartners as visitors In homes.
It has seen the education budget reach,

budget, and has seen each school house
become the great social center for a
group of busy, ambitious people.

CHOSE DEATH

Disconsolate Lover Chooses
Dreadful Fate When Girl
Spurns' Him.
(Hearst Newa by Longest Leased Wlra.)
Paris, Nov. 28. A remarkable Story
of lovo and tragedy comes from Laval,
a town of the department of Hayenne,
which has produced a profound impres-.
slon in all that vicinity. A great annual
festival was in progress attended by
multitudes of people from all the sur
rounding country. Among the various
spectacles exhibited on the fair grounds
was a menagerie, wnicn attracted im
mense crowd, of the visitors. .
The owner of the menagerie had a
daughter of singular beauty, with whom
a young man only 19 years old, became
h
violently in love, though - without any
perated
encouragement from the girl, who exas
perated young jean uroiner. w
continued disdain. . telling Mm at last
rlth her
that he was too young to think of such
a serious thing as love.
Then he threatened to deatrnv him
self if she refused to listen to hi. vows,
and she answered by contemptuously
turning ner shoulder. Jean Oroliler
went rrom this Interview fh despera
tion, and wa. not seen near the menag
erie until the following morning, when
ha was noticed loitering around the
tent.
Finally, when a keeper,, whose acT
qualntance he had made entered to feed
the animals, Jean went In with him and
followed him in hi. duties until, when
the keeper opened the door of a cage
containing two Hons, Jean pushed him
violently aside and leaped into the cage.
The Hons . at once sprang upon him
and tore him to piece, before help could
be had to prevent their feast. ,"ln B
moment the body, of the miserable boy
remained nothing more than a few hor
ribly torn and bloody, rags, which were
taken out for the Inspection and ver
dict cf the coroner.
