Milan, Jan. 2S.--Although preceded
by a struggle for life that lasted two
days, Verdi's death, when it came, was
peaceful. He did not regain conscious
ness. When he passed away he was
surrounded by relatives and intimate
friends. The announcement of his
death created great emotion. Theaters,
pleasure resorts and many stores were
closed, and nearly all the prominent
residences were draped. In his VIII
Verdi asks that the funeral may be
''very modest" He suggests that it
take place at either day break or even
tide, and that the ceremony be with
out music. "The chanting of two
priests, two candles and a cross will
suffice" he wrote. Many legacies were
left to friends. The date of the funeral
has not been fixed, but it willprobably
be Wednesday or Thursday, The in
torment will be in the chapel of the Re-
treat for INDECENT Musicians, which
Verdi established.

fond are the hogs of this delr@ry.

greedy jaws about the great fish and
carries him ashore. there to devour
him with the greatest relish. Then
back he slips into the water to watch
for the next traveller along that way.
He will keep this up until his hum
