THE SYSTEM WORKS WELL.
New Way of bringing I'm COnyicts
To EcouOmfcal.

Now Way OF bringing In C0nvfcts
Is Economical.
The advantages OF the new law re-
curing convicts to be brought TO the
penitentiary by guard Of that institu-
ton, instead Of by the Sheriff Of the
county In which the prisoner Is con-
yicted, were clearly shown last week
when one guard returned from trip to
Tidewater, bringing with him six men
whose combined terms were sixty-six
years. Three of these convicts were
from Nansemond and three from Isle OF
Wight. The expense of delivering these
prisoners at the penitentiary was about
50, exclusive of railroad fare. Had they
been brought here under the old system
the cost to the State would not have
been less than $50
THEY ARE PICKED UP.
Superintendent Lynn so arranges It
that when guard Is sent out he is given
a route, and picks up the prisoners on
the way. so that Il Is rarely the case
that man returns with only one con-
Wet.
Under the old law It cost the State 81
for every prisoner delivered at the penI-
Tertiary from this city. while now there
Is no expense In delivering convicts
from Richmond.
The new law contemplates a saving
of 5000 in the cost OF delivering convicts
to The State prison. as this year only
5000 was appropriated for this purpose.
while at the last session Of the Legisla-
ture about $4,000 was appropriated.
CONvICTS RECEIVED.
The following convicts were received
at the penitentiary yesterday: William
Bradshaw (colored). from Roanoke city.
10 serve a term OF one year for feionious
assault; William Bays. from Scott county.
to serve a term of one year
for stealing from the person; Moses Daw
son. from Scott county. to serve q term
OF two years for forgery.

THE IMMORTAL VERDI.
The Wonderful Composer is to Write
Another Opera.
Sketch OF the Life Work of the Great
est Living Creator OF Music.

1t Is reported that Verdi who, despitc
his other works which great musicians
consider masterpieces, will always be re-
memhcred because Of "n Trovatore" and
LA Irayiata," is about 90 compose q new
opera, which, he declares, will be his last.
The astounding feature Of the rumor is
that this work is 70 be OF even lighter and
moro popular" quality than "Falstaff." +"
II Is intimated that The Bohemian Girl"
Is TO bo his type so far as weight" Is con-
cerned
And what remarkable man this Verdi
Isl
Verdi has cleared tho "eight barred gate
which few come in sight of, and fewer,
far fewer, go over" as genial Oliver Wen
dell Holmes calls the attainment OF four
score Besides, he has three extra years 20
bis credit Wo have 70 go back as far as
1889 20 recall his first opera. IL was en-
titled "Obcrto, Conte di San Bonifacio,"
and was produced at La Scala, Milan,
whore his last triumph "Falstaff, was
achieved. TO the famous opera house all
musicians turn with interest, as IL has
been the birthplace Of so many high hopes
as we'll as the site OF so many Successes.
In this opera an English singer-Mrs AL
fred shaw-took part, and IL may be in
teresting To state that Ricordi paid Vordi
the sum Of J., ,750 francs for IT, This was
an achievement for Ranoola innkeeper's
son, aged 25.
Since those days Vcrdi's fame hns been
advanced by such works as 81 Lom bardi,"
which wds produced III 1913; tho beautiful
Ernani' and the less popular "Rlgolet-
20, which hc himself regards ns his master
piece; the always attractive II Trovatoro, 4"
and LA Traviata. Other operas by him
include "Un Ballo In Maschcra, -" Aida"
and "Alonto2uEa, but this is not tho
place for a critical estimate of ono whose
operatic compositions number 2S. Ii is
certainly curious that tho veteran should
have turned co Falstaff as tho subject Of
what is avowelly comic opera, consider
Ing That bo has hitherto but coyIy APP
preached tho humorous sido OF music
Still further is 1t remarkable that he
should contemplate "A still lighter work.
at any rate he has not taken tho pains to
deny tho rumor.
