Paris, Jan. 27.-The Rome correspondent
of The Figaro says the news of the visit
of the Cardinal Richard to the CONDEMNED
Assumptionist fathers is badly received at
the Vatican, where it is considered quite
inopportune. The Pope would have pre-
ferred more reserved attitude He has
always condemned any conflict when the
interests Of religion were not at stake 1t
is certain that all demonstrations hostile
TO the republic on the part Of certain high
clericals i'm France will only cause the
Pore displeasure"

"And what can a rich man do?"
Study and meditation far beyond his
years and the habit of his social order

D. 0. Mills, who built the unique Mills
hotel on New York's Bowery. where a
poor family can live at a very moderate
cost, did NOT want to give an opinion on
the question. What a a rich man do?'
Finally he said:
"There seems to be a general impress
sion that 1 devote much time md money
to socalled charitable relief. I don't. All
my efforts are directed &c teach the poor
the value of saving.
II believe in helping those who help
