greatest of several great American
jockeys that have made good on the
English turf, is to retire. He is with
out doubt the richest rider in the world
and owns a fine estate near Newmarket.
One reason that Maher has for retiring
is that he is tired of going hungry
and longs for a time when he will be
able to eat like other folk and increas-
ing weight will cease to be dread by
day and nightmare of his sleeping
hours.
He heads the riders OF the world

Crippen throughout declared his in

begin with protestations of passionate

the phrase God help us to be brave

Crippen continues:

Crippen asked Miss Leneve to have
his body cremated and If possible oh
she deemed best. He complained that
his statement, published November 90
omitted his criticisms of the crown

which he considered most important
and proceeded to analyze the evidence

ITALY MAY COMPEL
OLD AGE INSURANCE
Present Voluntary Scheme Not
Generally Popular

ROME, Nov s26.-An interesting con-
ference upon the subject of old age
pensions is at present being held in
Turin. As far back as 1898 there was
founded a national fund, which. start
ing with a capital of $2,000.000, has re
ceived every year half the profits of
the postoffice savings bank. Any work
ingman on contributing an annual pre-
MUM of not less than $1.1S and of not
more than $40, is entitled to pension
at so or 65 years of age, at his option,
provided he has been insured at least
25 years. But this scheme has not been
very popular so far, and at the end of
last July, after II years of experience,
only 344,262 persons were thus insured.
Accordingly, a~system of compulsory
insurance or a system of state provided
old age pensions is advocated by some
persons, the latter alternative being
favored by the socialists. Optimists,
however, believe that much more could
be done with the existing voluntary
system if its advantages were taught
in schools, so that children might avail
themselves of them. Others desire the
union of the national fund with that
for insurance against accidents met
with in the course of work while
others again point out the need of
more businesslike mana cement such as
has made the fortune of private
