A Russian Philanthropist.

The will of a Moscow capitalist, M. Solodovnikoff, bequeathing large sums for educational purposes, was recently approved by the Russian courts after a hard legal struggle. The relatives receive modest allowances. The remainder of the estate, estimated at $10,710,000, is to be divided Into three parts, of which two will form funds for the establishment of elementary and professional schools in the governments of Cologda, Archangel and Tyer, and the third will be devoted to the erection of workingmen’s dwellings in Moscow. The rent for each family is not to exceed about $2.50 a month. *
