One of the most interesting wills,
which has been filed in probate court
for long time, was the one of the
late Rev. Victor Arnould, which was
given out for publication yesterday.
The nature of this will is in perfect
harmony with the benevolent charac-
ter of the late church dignitary. In
il he not only showed great fore
sight in making his bequest, but he
also displayed his well known gen
eTOsity in making donations to char
liable and public institutions to the
betterment of suffering mankind One
of his most charitable acts is found
in the codicile TO his will which was
made September 27, 1908, in which
he bequeaths the sum of $4,000 toi
the Mercy hospital of this city.
Another one of his benevolent
deeds is where he bequeaths to Bish,
op Horstmann the sum of $4,000 for
the support of the st. Louis Orphan
Asylum, Of Louisville, o. He also
provides $1,000 TO be divided among
the poor priests of the diocese to say |
masses for the Tepose of his soul and
bequeaths Bishop Horstmann to es-
tablish a scholarship for poor young |
man of st. Peters church in this city, |
who wishes to study for the priest
hood. The bequest to the Rt. Rev. |
tBishop Horstmann of $4,000 for the
Catholic Protectorate for poor young
orphans was struck out in the cOdi- I
cile. Father ArnOuld also makes pro-
