As He Enters Door Bullet, Crashes Thru Window at His Shoulder, Scat- tering Glass AboutMr. Meeds Knows of No One Who Has Designs on His Life. If A. D. Meeds, the city chemist, knew that any person had designs on his life, he would be convinced that an attempt had been made this morning to plant a bullet in his body. About 8 o'clock this morning he entered his home, 2424 Harriet avenue, thru the rear door and just as the door swung open there was a crash of glass in the window beside the door. A fine spray of glass fell over his wife and little girl, who were in the kitchen. There was consternation in the house for a few moments, as no one could imagine what had happened. In the window there was a round hole, as tho made by a bullet, but a care ful search failed to reveal any hole in the opposite wall, but the cellar door was open and the ball might have gone thru and lodged in a place not -easily visible. Mr. Meeds looked outside, but could see no one. It is likely that the mis sile, if it was a bullet, was a stray shot fired at some distance. Mr. Meeds does not believe that it was aimed at him, but that it struck so near him sug gests possibilities. WOMAN STEALS TO WARD OFF DEATH VICTIM OF TUBERCULOSIS TAKES DESPERATE CHANCES. Without Home and Friends, in Strange Land, Jennie Engman Takes Money from Trunk in Hope of Prolonging Her LifePhysician Attends Her in Jail. Weakened by the ravages of tuber culosis and thinking she had only a few months to live, Jennie Engman stole $43 from a trunk in the house of her employer at 2528 East Twenty fourth street, and today was arraigned in police court on a charge of grand larceny. The girl was arrested yesterday on a warrant sworn out by George Helin, owner of the trunk, and when confront ed by the detectives, she broke down and confessed that she had taken the money, thinking it might save her life. Health Breaks Down. She said she came to this country from Norway a short time ago and ob tained employment as a domestic. She worked hard and faithfully for several months, but firally her health broke down and a physician told her she had tuberculosis. He said she must stop work and go to the country if she was ever to recover, and the realization of her danger made temptations come easy. She learned that Helin had the money in the trunk, and while he was out of his room she took it. Most of it she gave to a friend in Camden Place to keep, but this was recovered after her arrest yesterday. Has Sinking Spell.

Yesterday was a day of relief work and discussion in the city churches. As far as words are able to picture the horrors of the stricken district, they were used to express the need of prompt and generous relief. Collections of bounteous proportions were received, and the relief fund will be materially swelled by the addition of these church collections. In some cases a special contribution was taken for the relief work, and on others one or both the regular collections was turned over to the relief fund.

The records of the Probate Court at Philadelphia disclose a remarkable fact: Of nearly twenty-three thousand persons dying 4n one year, nineteen thousand left no property whatever, while, the remaining estates averaged very low, the majority ranging from $50.00 to $1,000.00. The lesson of this fact is that death finds nearly all men nearly or quite insolvent except those carrying sufficient good life Insurance. Men generally know this and therefore the query arises. Why do so small a proportion, even of men who are financially able, secure the needed protection? The answer turns upon the most universal weakness of human nature, procrastination. Those who die uninsured or under insured intended to protect their families but put it off. If the reader of this notice makes a like failure it will probably be due solely to delay. THE STATE MUTUAL. LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY OP WORCESTER, MASS., will give you protection on the best possi ble terms. It is one of the oldest, strongest and best life insurance companies^in the world, and operates under the laws of Massachu setts, which protect insurers better than those of any other state. But the State Mutual has never yet agreed to insure any one at some future time. "The lives of all your loving cpmplices lean upon your health," and health does not last. ^If you need insur ance -take it now!
