That's liberal estimate,n re-
marked the lover, as Biiah conned the
figures. "My salary is ten dollar per
week, and you see we could save over
six dollars and yet live eXtravagantly."
$50 you could-so you could. Six
dollars week for fifty-two weeks or a
year makes 1912 per year. You can
figure on living forty years. That

There was a painful silence and the
old man continued:

The AssnssinarIon OF Lord Lcirrim

New YORK, April 3.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from Dublin says that the
assassination of Lord Lietrim and his
two attendants was the result OF sgrsrian
troubles. Lord Leitrim had disputes
lately with his tensutry, some OF whom
manifested much bitter feeling at their
alleged grievances. There is intense IN
dignation among the people of Donegal
county over the outrage and measures
are being taken to discover the perpetr".
tors. The district is loyal and has never
been affected by CoerCive laws.
The following further details OF the
assassination of the Earl Of Leitrlm, hls
clerk and driver have been telegrsPhed
from Dublin: The Earl of LCi,rm lett
his residence At Milford shortly before
y o'clock yesterday morning accom-
paried hv his clerk, and was driving on
an outside car to Derry TO meet Lls
solicitor. He always carried arms. 1t Is
srnnosed that the assassins were concealed
bebind low embankment between the
road and the plantation, and having Lrs1
shot the Earl OF LeItrim they shot the
clerk and driver so that there would oe
no Witnesses. His lordshipS vale, was
driving about mile behind and on
coming UP found his master and clerk
living dead on the road, but life was still
N the driver. The sssgsslns had IN the
meanwhile escaped in boat across
the bay. The valet drove bsck
10 Milford and alarmed the police,
who. coming to the pIace, found the
driver still alive but unconscious. lie
died shortly afterwards. There Is Io
doubt that the murder was agraHan.
The relations between Earl LeltrIm and
bistenaDts were unfrleudiy. Hls lOTC-
sbip was kind and liberal to the poor,
but verv particular and eXactlng IL MS
dealings with his tenantry, visiting with
ynspsTlng severity the slightest lnIrac'

his hsrshness. He had al iron VIII
which disregarded alike appeals or men

courage and perseverance IN the pursuit

LONDON, April 3.-The Pail Mall
Gazette says the stewards Of the Houley
regatta have given notice that all the
American crews contemplating entering
must 30 so six weeks before the regatta.
The stewards also reserve the right TO re-
fuse any entry without givinga reason.
The Pail Mail Gazette doubts the justice
OF compelling the Americans to settle
their crews and pay the entrance fees
earlier than the English crews,
The intention it says, is doubt
less to make fall investigation
of the status OF the American oarsmen,
but it would suffice if the names were
submitted to the stewards q. the time
specified. leaving to the Americans the
opticn of selecting what prizes they
would enter for, and who sholld make
up this or that crew Of the list submitted
until the ordinary day Of entry-that iP,
fortnigh! before the regatta.
