Lay Up Your Savings.

Is any one too poor to save? is an
important problem which the readers
of London daily are at present at
tempting to solve. The question is
not by any means a new one. 1t is
one which has troubled past genera
lions, just as, in all probability, it
will affect the generations to come.
We cannot say that this latest discus,
sion of the subject is throwing much,
if any, fresh light upon it.
In the first place, there is diversl-
ty of opinion regarding the term
'spOor." One man, who derives an
income Of $3.50 year from private
property, fancies he comes under the
category, while another does not con-
slider any one poor, who has an in
some of $500 year, says a writer in
"Leslie's Weekly" 1t is manifestly
impossible to fix any limit in q mat
ter Of this kind. Very much depends
upon the locality and conditions and
surroundings of the individual. An
income that would be amply sufficient
to insure family comfortable home,
excellent social advantages and good
living in country village, would
mean many privations and sore dis
comforts in amy large city.
On the whole, however, we are in
clined to believe that Max O'Relrs
views on the point under discussion
come nearer the safe and common
sense rule than anything we have seen.
II do not care" he says, chow small
the income of man is, he should
never spend the whole Of it, especially
If he has a wife and children. He
should at least save enough to pay
every year the premium on good life
policy. No man is worthy Of the
name who does not do this, at least
at the price Of whatever privations
he has to submit to. Some pleasure
may be derived from high living, but
certainly no happiness"

On retiring last night he locked the door.
and when the landlord early this morning
asked him to open so that another lodger

the landlord sent for the police. Efforts
to persuade Sims to open the door failed
and a hole was smashed In 1t. Through
the aperture Sims began shooting. One
bullet knocked a pistol from the hand OF

to the room and pleaded with Sims to
como out and surrender

"No. WON'T he answered with an
OATH. I'll shoot if YOU don't go away.
I'm not going to leave here. They'll burn
me In oil: they'll fry me-" Sims had
piled some furniture in the room against
the door, and was prepared to fight for
his life. AS the landlord and the officer
retreated the desperate fired at them,
without any damage.
All efforts to induce the negro to sur
render having proved ineffective, Super
intendent Journee decided that there was
nothing to be done but to smoke the ne
gro out. An alarm was turned in and
a portion of the fire department brought
to the scene. y quantity Of cotton oil
and sulphur was sent for, the cotton
rolled into balls and saturated with oil,
a match applied and the blazing sub
stance hurled into the room, every ave
nue. of escape being guarded. The furni-
ture in the room caught fire quickly, fill
Ing the place with smoke and flames.
Sims hung on to his hiding pla ce until
he was nearly suffocated and then made
an attempt to escape. AS he appeared at
the door Patrolman Fred Smith fired at
him: the negro staggered. mortally
wounded. Instantly other policemen fired
on him and he fell Dead. The firemen
extinguished the flames and the body was
dragged out and taken through lane

been there was Pope Leo's exclama-
ton as he looked from window Of his
apartments this mo, ming into the sunlit
piazza OF st. Peters. TEis was the
Ponti1.s only reference to h-s long term
OF lf-imposed Imprisonment in the Vat
lean. during which he has never gone
beyond the palace grounds and st. Pc
ters, which is considered to be part of
the Vatican.
What a glorious morning for the jub-
lice OF my pontidcate." proceeded the
Pope, as he continued to read numerous
teiegrams, letters OF congratulation.
which have reached the Vatican from all
parts Of the world.
Z The Hall OF Beatifcation. above the
portico of ST. Peters. where the Ponutf
held his jubilee reception, presented a
brilliant scene, It was beautifully hung
with antique orocades and Illuminated
by thousands of electric lights and wax
candles. The boxes lining the long
narrow hall were filled to their capacity
with members OF the Roman aristocra cy.
diplomats, men in evening dress. Monks
and Sisters in religious garb Here and
there troops Of Papal guards. in full
uniform. lent color. Notable among the
diplomats was Count Alodovar. head of
the special mission sent to represent the
King OF Spain at the jubilee.
CROWD TERRIFIC.
The struggle to get into the hall was
terrific. People were swept off their
feet and women were overcome, but no
one was really injured. There was a
long and tedious wait before the cere-
mony commenced, and the audience was
growing restless, when suddenly great
roar OF Long live Leo" and Long
live the Pope-King.'.. announced the ar
rival OF the Pontr. His Holiness was
borne in the sedia Gestatoria on the
shoulders OF eight men habited In red
brocade. The Pope himself wore gor-
geous robes and had the triple crown
on his head. He bestowed his benclic-
ton right and left as he passed through
the cheering concourse. whose enthusiasm
was great and whose desire to touch the
hem of the Popes gown was SO intense
that the presence OF the guards seemed
really necessity for his protection.
When the Pope advanced to the throne
the Pccci family stood on It's right and
Count Alodovar on its left. subsequently
the presentation OF gifts occurred. In
cluding the gold tiara, the Jubilee pres
