TO England Grieving.

Come LEI us who hold freedom sweet,
Who bend the knee 10 God alone.
Lay some small tribute at her feet
Who hath descended from her throne!
We may not know the grief they bear
Who. being, subjects. fondly deemed
Themselves her children, and who
seemed
To form the bounds OF all her care,
But even YOU and I, that hold
No reverence for kings may We.
Uncover. as the knell is tolled,
And bow with them whose eyes are
wet,
may not sit with aching heart
And think Of her as one above,
Amounted for a lofty part.
Or blessed with Gods especial love;
Where they looked up at majesty
We cav lnblenished xoman1lood-
Beheld the purpose to be good
What more sublime may mortal see:
Their awe Of royal pomp and pride
We know not-may we never know
Yet we place a wreath beside
Their queen and mother lying low.
The blood that fills his veins who weep.
For one he deemed somewhat divine
Is that same Saxon blood that leaps
| Unconquered in your veins and mine
! Tho we have travelled on ahead
And with the substance claimed thu
form
1 OF liberty. nor stress nor storm
| May leave the sweet old kinshil
dead.
And so with reverence bend the knee
A little az she leaves the scene:
They wept for our dead Lincoln! We
| May grieve with them for their goot

P. D. ARMOUR DEAD.
Head of a Vast Commercial Estab-
lishment Passes Away.
After Two Years of Illness He succumbs
to Heart Disease-Left a Fortune Esti-
mated at Nearly S5O,OOO,OOO-HOw
His Fortune Started.

Chicago, Jan. Phillip Danforth
Armour philanthropist, fnancier and
multi-millionaire, head of the vast
commercial establishment thai bears
his name-died at his home, 2115
Prairie avenue, at 5:45 yesterday
evening. A muscular affection of the
heart known as myocarditis was the
immediate cause of death. He had
been slowly recovering from pneu-
monia that for three weeks had
threatened his life and had been i'll
for two years. At nine o'clock yes
terday morning his heart gave way
under the strain of his recent illness,
his pulse running up to 1O3. That
was the beginning of the end.
During the day he had realized that
death was near. To those around
him he had said: 81 know I am very
sick, and am ready for death when it
comes" Soon after luncheon, and
just before the physician forbade his
talking more, Mr.. Armour, in feeble
tones, said that he would like to hear
the Lords prayer read. One of the
trained nurses who had been attend
ing him drew chair to the bedside
and slowly read from the Bible the
prayer for which the dying man had
asked. 1t was read sentence by SEN
tence and each was repeated by Mr..
Armour. When the amen had
been repeated by him he sank back
on the pillow and closed his eyes
restfully. It was the last word the
great fnancier spoke except feeble
farewells to his family little later.
Referring to Mr.. Armour's fortune,
the Chicago Chronicle says: -''Mr. Ar
mour's wealth is a subject that may
never be accurately known. 1t is es-
timated to be not less than 100000
and by some is said to exceed 5O,OOO,-
600. The combined wealth of the Chi
cago Armours is fixed at 100000, 1000.
In one sense the total is the wealth
of Philip D. Armour, but just how
much has been carried in his own
name and how much in the name of
his sons is unknown
Philip d. Armour, who was in his
sixty-ninth year, made his own life
on lines unique and wholly original
with himself. From a not over rich
Oneida county, \. Y, farm to the po-
sition of paying more freight and
controlling more provisions than any
other man in the world were the two
extremes of his life. The California
gold fever struck western New York
in 1849 and young Armour was the
first in Stockbridge to determine to
visit the Pacific coast. He secured
the permission of his parents and at
the age of II started, having three or
four companions from the same
neighborhood. The almost incredible
part of it was that the party walked
nearly the entire distance from New
York to California.
