erfll,a Will.


 Verdi is credited with the intention of doing something both handsome and original with the fortune which he has accumulated during his lifetime. The news comes from Genoa that the great composer has been engaged during the past few days in putting into final shape his last wil and testament. Yer di has no son. and he recognizes no ob- ligation to enrich any distant relations that he may possess. He therefore di- rects that the ten million lire which he will leave behind him shall be em- pboyed in making happy those who helped him to earn them, namely, mu- sicians and lyric artistes. A magnifi- cent palace is to be built in his grounds. and this Is to form the home of any Italian musicians and singers who may find themselves in straitened circum- stances at the close of their career.
 The internal arrangements of this mansion are to be of the most comfort able and perfect description. The number of inmates provided for will be two hundred of both sexes. Their musical tastes are not to be forgotten. Throughout the establishment there will beat least fifty pianos and several organs There will be a large concert hall provided with stage, and large library will be at the disposal of the inhabitants It is reported that the plans for this benevolent project are already completed, and that Verdi cherishes the hope that he himself may yet be present at the inauguration. The work is, therefore, to be begun i'm mediately. "This will be my last work" are the words attributed to the composer when he had completed his will in the presence of the witnesses Westminster Gazette.

Bull Dogs are Trained in Germany to
 atch and Hold Criminals.

Bull Dogs are Trained in Germany to atch and Hold Criminals.
 How's that for new idea? But that is an idea they are developing in Ger many and believe it IS going to do great things. The object is not to have the dog jump on man and tear him to pieces; any uneducated dog can do that. But he is trained to knock the criminal down and keep him notion less until the dogs assistant can come up with the handcufts.
 The breed they use are bulldogs al- most exclusively, both on account of their tremendous laws and because a bulldog loves a fight as naturally as an Irishman does, They are very intelM- gent and when they have once seized the idea they hold on to it as they do to everything else. A bulldog never forgets anything, whether-it be a kind ness or an insult. or g college educa- ton, and is in this respect quite unlike the celebrated Thomas B. Macauley, who boasted he had forgotten more things than most people knew.
 V The training of dogs requires a cer- tain quack. with great kindness, pa tience and firmness. For although they are sparing of the whip, when dog deserves a whipping, he gets 1t, af- ter being made to understand why he Is punished.
 The first step in training is the plac- ing of a. mannikin behind the door and making the dog understand that this is . criminal he Is to seize. This lesson is not hard for him to learn, for bull dog would much rather jump on a man than not. Then the trainer catches the mannikin by the shoulders and lowers 1t slowly to the ground with the dog still hanging to the rags around the neck, When the dog begins to tear the figure the trainer strikes him with the whip to intimate to him that that is

CHEAP LODGING HOUSES.

A Peep Into Some of the Ones on the Bow e' j. ,- ery-The Guests. Persons passing freely along tie Bow cry can hardly have failed to observe the hanging signs of some of the lodg- ing houses. Rooms 20 and 25 cents, baths free" This is a familiar legend, and. to persons not familiar with the interiors thus recommended, 1t conjures up figure of penury clothed in rags. They see in fancy a passage as filthy as the board of health will permit, with rooms full of offensive odors and crowd ed with cots filled with vermin, and with lodges in no respect superior to their surroundings.
 Nothing, however, could be further from just conception of 8 cheap Bow cry lodging house as represented at least in the better grades of those de- sirable retreats for the impecunious As matter of fact they represent about the perfection of arrangement in SpdCCs S1Ao LllCJ oEC 4ulIC admirable examples of cleanliness. A man may pass entirely through house of the kind, filled to the roof with lodg- CTS, says a writer in the New Yoak Sun, without any disagreeable sensation, and unless he enters the general read ing room. or. office. he would hardly learn from his sense of sight alone that he himself and his attendants were not the exclusive occupants of the premises.
 Enter the front door and go up the stairway of g representative Bowery lodging house. The stairway is mar row, certainly, but the steps are care fully protected against wear by well burnished brass plates, and it Is kept scrupulously clean.

The French Mathematical Prodigy.

The French athematical Prodigy.
 Young Vernier. the mathematical prodigy from the provinces. of whose success in obtaining admission to the higher normal school without undergo ing an examination you were informed a few days ago, has arrived here, and is the object of much curiosity. This youth of eighteen has great opinion of. his genius. for, when .complimented on his wonderful proficiency, he camly remarked that mathematics were so badly taught in France that he had no trouble in convincing the real savants of the insanity" of the prevailing methods. He says that during his stay at the Lyons Lycee his master treated him as a visionary" but, he adds gen. erously, 'I forgive the poor man" Vernier attracted notice by entering into correspondence with several math- ematicians of note, who imagined that they were replying to an elderly savant like themselves, and were astounded when they ascertained that he was a school-boy. The minister of public in struction was informed of the existence of this Infant phenoinenon," and promptly admitted him to the higher normal school on his own responsibili-. ty. Young vernier does not intend to repose on his laurels. On the contra ry. he Is writing for the Academy of Science work which will be ready by the summer, and which, as he confi- dently puts 1t, will bring about "a rev oiution like that accomplished by La place and Newton" Fa attributes ev- cry mathenaatical discovery to, ''intui- tion," of which he evidently believes that he has a considerable stock at his command. It remains to be seen whether young vernier will succeed in carrying out his-threat of demolishing

not what he is expected to do, Finally he learns that he Is not to let go, but to hang on without tearing the victim. If any one moves the mannikin he has gripped ferocious growl warns all by islanders that all such nonsense had better stop at once. When he carries out his role he Is petted and earessed. for kindness plays quite as important a part as the whip in the school.
 As soon as 1t Is certain that Master Doggie has learned his lesson they let him loose on a living model. This ex- pertinent is never quite free from dan ger. so the man who feeds him is usu- ally chosen for the first experiment, as the dog will not be 80 likely to tear him although in all cases the model puts on n leather collar around his neck 10 guard against accident. Then these experiments are renewed on strangers. who naturally demand pretty good pay for their services. and who constitute a sort of board of regents. If the dog passes this examination he takes his degree and Is ready for work. The German government hopes to make use of these dogs in the service of the GUS toms to catch smugglers on the from tiers.
 Apropos of these dogs, am reminded of a story of a policeman In this coun- try in country town, who was always accompanied on his beat by his devoted dog. One day the policeman dIscov- cred two men In a case of assault and robbery. When they saw him coming they took to their heels. Of course he could not go two ways at once. 30 he called Nick's attention to one man while he made off after the other; he secured his man and, coming back. found the second man prostrate with Nick standing guard.

The Face of a Watch.


 We believe it was George Augustus Sala who once said he would think him. self safe in betting f1ve-pound note that not more than one person out of a score could tell correctly, off-hand, in what way the hour four Is represented on a watch or clock-dial. Most people, without looking, would say W, instead of HI. And why should it not be "? Well, here is the story. The first clock which kept anything like accurate time was constructed by certain Henry Wick, in 1870. It was made to the order of Charles V. of France, who was called 'The. Wise" Wise he certainly was in some respects. but he did not know everything, though he liked to pretend that he did. When Wick brought him his clock, he looked close ly at it's movements for some time. "Yes. it works very well," he said at length, "but you have got the figures on the dial wrong" "Surely not, your Majesty,p said Wick. "Yes. that four should be four ones" You are wrong, your Majesty" T am never wrong," thundered the king. "Take 1t away and correct the mistake" Wick did as commanded, and so to this day we have HI. when we should really have W. It is not generally known that watches may be used as compass- es, yet such is the. case. Point the hour hand to the sun, and the south is exactly halfway between the. hour and the figure XII on the watch. For in- stance, supposing that 1t is four o'clock. Point the hand indicating four to the sun, and II on the watch is exactly south. Suppose that it is eight o'clock: point the hand indicating eight to the sun, and the figure X on the watch is due south.-Ladies' Treasury.

 Services Yssterday Other Christmas
 Eyonts, '' Hl.
 The services at Trinity P. E. church yesterday morning were well attended. The church was very tastefully dec- orated with mistletoe, holly and ever green. The musical service was es- pecially excellent. Director Chese- wright was in charge. Rev. Dr. Har- wood preached the Christmas sermon. He spoke most eloquently of the ocoa- sion of which the day is an anniver- sary.
 AT ST. PAUL's CHURCH.
 At St. Paul's church yesterday morn- ing Rev. Dr. E. s. Lines preached a most interesting Christmas sermon, and special music was furnished by Profess sor Fowler's chorus choir and soloists. The church was handsomely decorated with evergreen. On Friday afternoon the Sunday school will hold their Christ mas tree in the parish house.
 AT ST. MARY's CHURCH.
 The services at St. Mary's church yesterday were very beautiful and impressive. The high mass at 5:30 in the morning was attended by very large number of people. The solemn high mass at 10 o'clock was also very we'll attended. At this mass Rev. Dr. Lilly preached very eloquent sermon, taking for his sermon the gospel of the day-St. Luke ii. IA. Dr. Lilly is very forceful, fluent and easy speaker. His sermon was very excellent specimen of noble thought in purest of diction. Miss Mary Sullivan sang solo, "Adeste Fidelis," at the vespers, which was very beautiful. Madame Evelyn Oertel as- sisted at the 10 o'clock mass in the church. She sang solo at the offer tory entitled ''Sancta Maria"
 THE FIRST MASS AT THE NEW CHAPEL.
 The mass at the new chapel was at- tended by very large number of peo- pie. Mass was said by Rev. Father Fowler. Professor Rice, organist at St. Marys church, kindly acted as choir master at this mass. He was assisted by the Misses Maria J. Ward and Nellie Crotty and MT. Frank O'Connell, all of whom were to be complimented for the excellent music. Father Fowler an- nounced that for the present the mass would be at 8 o'clock each Sunday.
 CHRISTMAS AT FIRST M. E. CHURCH.
 A most enjoyable Christmas enter tainment with Christmas tree was given by the Sunday school of the First M. E. church yesterday afternoon. The en- tertainment was held in the body of the church. On the pulpit was erected an old-fashioned fireplace, built of boxes representing bricks. Santa Claus, in the person of little Master Howard Stewart, seated in little vehicle, was drawn up the pulpit by six little girls, all dressed in white. He then presented each child with brick from the old fireplace, each filled with candy.

THE B.fLLOTISG.

The balloting at the convention yes- terday was decidedly interesting and exciting. It didn't pan out as Chair man Benton so confidently predicted 1t would. and in its progress 1t upset some other confident predictions. The first ballot was not much like what the wise men said 1t would be. and 1t was surprising in the strength shown by General Merwin and the weakness shown by Colonel Cheney. Mir. Porter started in about as he was expected to by those who had tried to keep track of the delegates and also by himself. His vote was handled well. and he went to Coffin very judiciously. Coffin started in with about twenty-five votes less than his canvass showed for him, but the real strength was in him and he gained on every ballot to the end. The Cheney voters had the most mucilage In them, and 103 of them went into the last ditch with their leader. General Merwin started with 14o. rose to l51, and ended with s9. Coffin started with 125 and end ed with 2s0.

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
 The Republican State convention yes terday was no cut and dried affair. and 1t was all the better for that. The bosses didn't boss and there wasn't much of the kind of harmony consid- cred most desirable by those who make a living out of party harmony" But there was freedom of speech and of action, great earnestness and genuine enthusiasm. All the proceedings indi- cated a condition of healthy activity in the party, which promises well for the campaign which has so auspiciously begun.
 The nomination of the Hon. o. Vim cent Coffin for governor was very satisfactory solution of complicated problem, and the more 1t Is thought of the more satisfactory it will appear. He was the candidate toward whom all concerned were friendly. There were no factional disturbances in his region He was not unpleasantly antagonistic to anybody. His friends had conducted his canvass with great good nature as we'll as great skill. His qualifications for the high office he is to fill are excel lent and ample. He has had much ex- perience in public affairs. He Is a man of fine business ability and sound judg- ment. He can think quickly and clear ly and speak impressively. His life has been distinguished for integrity, honor and lofty morality. His presence Is pleasing and he is especially gifted in tact and true politeness. He puts on no airs and is thoroughly friendly and companionable. He is heartily respect ed and beloved by those among whom he lives, and who know him as thor oughly good man and good citizen. He could have no better recommends tion than the estimation in which he is held in his own community. The more he is seen and known by the peo- pie of the State during the campaign the more solid and attractive will his candidacy appear. He will wear we'll, and the enthusiasm which he aroused in Hartford yesterday and last evening will continue and increase until he is triumphantly elected.
 MT. Ccffin had not only ample fitness for the nomination and good manage ment on his side. He had also justice. There has perhaps never been a strong CT claim put before State convention or claim more strongly put than the one made by Middlesex county in his behalf. That row of figures showing that Middlesex county had not had even a nomination for governor for 255 years was very impressive. It is indeed about time she had a show. and the fair-minded members of the convention knew and felt it. She will have an abundant entrance into long deferred honor and nobody will begrudge her her well earned joy and triumph.
 The other members of the ticket cor respond well with its distinguished head. Messrs. Cooke, Hodge, Mowry and Mead are all Republicans who de- serve well of their party and the people. There is not a weak spot in the ticket, The convention has done its work well and patriotically. It has been many a year since any Connecticut convention did better work.
