UNLIKE HIS FATHER.
Personality Of J. Ogden Armour,
Son of the Great P. D.
lie Ia, Deliberate, Cautious ana Re-
fncd - Few Changes Looked for
In the Management of the
Grcnt Armour Interests.

j. Ogden Armour, who succeeds to
the management of his fathers vast
business interests, is physically If not
mentally wholly unlike his father,
says the Chicago Record Slim of
form and face, deliberate if not slow
in his motions, hesitating If not
studied in his utterances, he has none
of the personal characteristics which
distinguished his father. The late
head of the Armour house was square
of stature, "bullet-headed," strong
iawed. round-faced, quick of move
ment, alert in repose, impulsive, posi-
tive, aggressive and relentless in the
pursuit of an idea.
J. Ogden Armour has long, mar
row head, chin pointed like his
mothers. refined rather than a
strong contour. He is as calm in ac-
sion as at rest. He lacks impulsive-
ness to the verge of coldness. He is
cautious, modest, evasive as opposed to
aggressive, conciliatory, generous
and always well-poised. Nobody who
knows him believes that he absolute
ly approves of his fathers almost
slaving adherence to early hours,
hard work, devotion to detail and
personal supervision of a business SO
perfectly organized and Offered that

ernment il can almost run itself"
Those who are nearest 10 the young
head of the great packing business
agree that he will introduce nc
startling changes in the affairs of the
company. He is notoriously averse
to changes, opposed to revolutionary
methods and fearful of scenes" He
has always shown a disposition to

COLOR OF PERSONALITY.
How This Young Girl Sums Up Her
General Impression of
Others.

"What do you think of herP" asked
the man. as he and the girl looked to-
gether at drawing in one of the IL
lustra ted magazines, according to the
New York Sun. For answer the young
woman took up pencil and wrote
across the top of the page: "She is
very distinctly lavender"
"What do you mean?" said the man.
''The drawing looks to me very much as
though it were done in back and
white"
"Of course" said the young woman,
but l mean the real girl of whom that
is the picture. always sum up people
in terms of color. The general impress
sion which anyone makes upon me
their look. talk and whole personality
is summed up for me in a color. This
is the only way in which can con-
ceive general impression of a person
Just as soon as l meet new persons and
talk with them half minute they be-
come for me yellow. or scarlet, or vio'
let, or some other color. AS for that
names have color just as much as any
thing else. Florence, of course, mus
make anyone think of thick red plush
"To see things in this way, of course
a color has got to have, in itself, a per
sonality, and l dare say that my color
personalities are quite different from
yours. But that is another question
and a very complex one"

enough alone. Innocent of any of the
combative qualities of his sire, it is
probable that he will never engage
in those fierce speculative combats
that seemed to delight and almost in
spir the founder of the house. Yet
withal, conciliatory, gentle and de-
liberate as he is, the young president
of Armour & Co. is said TO be pos
sessed of a spirit as stubborn and
self-relant as that of his father.
Arthur Meeker is perhaps the dean
of the late millionaire's advisers, and
there is every reason to believe that
j. Ogdn will lean confidently upon
him and his associates. The young
man has not thus far departed from
the routine hours set forth and OBJ
served by his father. He knows every
detal of the business even better
than Phil, his brother, knew them at
the time he was taken i'll. But he
does not take business details as seri-
ously as the others. He seems content
to know rather than to do.
Already most of his well-conceived
and well-digested ideas have been
profitably used by the company
There is no reason to suppose that
he will abate any of the great projects
| that may become feasible for the
business. There are some who be-

A JOINT CONFERENCE
Chinese Plenipotentiaries Meet
Foreign ENJOYS.
PUNISHMENTS UNDER CONSIDERATION
uhinese Ministers Seem Anxious to
Come 10 Terms--Li Hung Chang
Weak and Unable
a Walk.

PEKING, Feb. G.-The Chinese pleni-
potentiaries, Prince Ching and Ii Hung
Chang, had a protracted meeting yester-
day with the foreign ENJOYS. Twelve
names of prominent Chinese officials
were submitted with the request that
China keep faith with the powers and
punish the persons named commensurate
iy with their offenses.
The Chinese plenipotentiaries replied
that China's earnest hope was to carry
cut fully the demands of the powers and
that she felt sure the punishment which
would be inflicted would be satisfactory.
1t was discovered tTlat,2 out of II of
the persons named were already dead.
In certain cases the Chinese plenipo-
fentnries gave reasons why the punish
ment inflicted should be Punishment and
not death, asserting that in those cases
they particularly desired Punishment only
because the persons in question were so
closely related to the throne.
After n long conversation on the sub
iect of punishment it was decided that
the foreign ENJOYS should draw up full
list of all accused officials, both national
and provincial, with indictments specify
ing the guilt of each apd statement of
he punishment required, which would
then be presented to the Chinese pleni-
,otentiaries for definite action
Lii Hung Chang, who is very weak
srom his recent illness, had to be car
ried in and out of the British legation.
He is unable to walk, but his head
seems as clear as ever
The fereign ENJOYS Were impressed
with the evident desire of both Prince
Ching and Ii Hung Chang to come to
terms Prince Ching asked whether.
provided China showedi.hy every means
in her power desire to carry out the
terms of the joint note, the foreign troops
would leave Peking.
The foreign ENJOYS replied that this
was subject they could not discuss be-
yond saying that. if everything were
satisfactory, they believed the powers
would begin TO withdraw the troops ear
by in the coming spring, but that this de-
pended largely upon the Chinese them
selves.
Prince Ching and Ii Hung Chang said
they desired to know the names of the
places where guards would be kept fol
the purpose. of maintaining communica
ton with +he sea in accordance with the
terms of the Joint note.
They wepe informed that this was ;
subject regarding which the military au
thOrities had more accurate knowledge
than the ENJOYS, but that at present nj
determination had been reached.

PEKING, Feb. 4.-Reports received
here from Singan-fu all agree that the
famine in the provinces of Shansi and
Shensi is one gof the worst in the history
Of China All information on the sub
iect is necessarily from Chinese sources
and is fragmentary, but the stories are
all to the same, effect, picturing condi-
ton of affairs that is calculated to arouse
the sympathy OF the world for the strick-

1t is estimated that two-tbirds of the
