MOTHER AND BABE

Sick mother-sick child
That's the way it works when
mother is nursing her infant,
SCOTS Emulsion is an ideal
medicine for nursing mothers.
1t has a direct effect on the
milk. Sometimes the mother
is weak; her thin milk does not
make the baby grow. SCOTS
Emulsion changes all that.
The rich cod-liver oil in SCOTS
Emulsion feeds themother and
gives a flow of rich, nourishing
milk for the baby.
The medicine in SCOTS
Emulsion not only strengthens
the mother but goes naturally
through the milk and strength
ems the child.
Nothing to harm-all for
good-Scott's Emulsion.
We'll send you little to Try, if you like

The ARMOUR 0BSEQUES.
Simple Ceremony Marked the Last
Rites Over the Remains of
the Dead Millionaire.
THE HOME WAS FILLED WITH FLOWERS.
Services Were Held Both In the
Home md at the Armour Mission
-Thousands Viewed the main
of Their II Employer and Bene-
factor.

Chicago, Jan. 9.-Private funeral
services over the body of the late
Philip ID. Armour were held at IL n.
m. at the Armour residence, 2115
Prairie avenue. Following the serv-
ices at the house, the body was taken
to the Armour mission, where from
noon until two o'clock it lay in state
and was viewed by thousands of peo-
pie, numbering friends, acquaintance
and throngs of employees from the
great packing houses and other busi-
ness interests of the dead millionaire,
many of them standing for hours in
the street for an opportunity to get a
last glimpse of their former friend
and employer. The services at the
house were of the simplest character,
carrying out the expressed wishes of
the deceased, and were attended only
by the family and close friends. Sing
ing was furnished by the choir of the
Second Presbyterian church. Mr.. Ar
mour's two favorite hymns, Jesus,
Lover of my SOUL" and "Now l lay me
down to Sleep" were sung, followed
by a solo, Pc Still" DR.. Gunsaulus
of Plymouth Congregational church,
where Mr.. Armour formerly attended
services, then offered a prayer and
read the Twenty-third psalm and the
Fourteenth chapter of st. John. The
home of the dead millionaire was
filled with flowers. They came from
everywhere, many beautiful pieces
being sent on cable orders from far
off countries and from employees in
nearly every large city of the country.
At two o'clock public funeral serv-
ices were held in Armour mission, and
here again simplicity was observed IN
every arrangement. DR.. G%unsaulus de-
livered no funeral sermon, simply
reading from the fifteenth chapter of
Corinthians. Singing by the choir
followed, and the vast crowd then
united in the Lords prayer.
After conclusion of the services the
coffin was taken to a special funeral
train and conveyed to Greceland Gem
etery. where the body was laid to
rest in the Armour family lot.
The Commercial club and the st.
Andrews society, of which Mr.. Ar
mour was a member, attended the
services in a body. Representatives
of the firm from Omaha, Kansas City,
New York and many other cities were
also present.

AGRICUL TURAL PROTECTION.
The German Imperial Chancellor
Strongly IN Claims
of Agriculture.

Berlin, Jan. 9.-The imperial chan
cellor, Count Won Buelow, in the lower
house of the diet, strongly supported
the claims for the protection of agri-
culture. He said: Il consider it the
foremost duty of the government to
effect a reconciliation in the existing
economic difficulties and the adjust
ment of the varying interests sup
porting those who are unable to help
themselves through their own
strength. / shall abide by the opinion
that when one member of a social
body suffers all the members suffer,
especially that as long as such an i'm
p~ortant one as agriculture is I'M
healthful the entire organization
must be undermined. l am convinced
that it is the duty of the government
to afford trade, industry and agricul-
ture an equal measure of protection,
but that one of them, agriculture, alb
solutely needs strong protection. 1t is
in pursuance of this principle of even
handed justice that the bill for the
completion and improvement of the
canal has been drawn up. If the
measure favored industry at the ex-
pense of agriculture or the west
monarchy TO the detriment of the
east, | would not have supported it,"

Jeopardfzed.

Aspen, Col, Jan. AT midnight,
Tuesday night. a party of miners com.
ing off shift discovered fire burning
about 400 feet from the mouth of the
C~owenhoven tunnel. The fire was on
the side next TO the Smuggler mine,
and it is supposed started in the
black shale. This is where the great
Smuggler fire two years ago originat-
ed. Watchmen have been stationed to
prevent the spreading of the fire. The
Cowenhoven tunnel is the means Of
draining the great producers of
Emuggler mountain. Should the tun-
mel become damaged seriously it
would stop work in a number of the
famous producers of this camp.

VIOLATION OF CONDITIONS.
Attempt to Exclude, by Law. CoIored
Students From M~aryvilIe Col
lege, Tennessee.

Knoxville, Tenn, Jan. 9.-Reprc.
sentative Murphy of Knox county in
PRODUCED a bill in the legislature at
Nashville against the co-education of
h white and negro races. This is
done with n view of keeping negroes
out of Maryville college, an institu-
tuition whose original donation pro-
vided that no distinction should be
made in color or sex of students. The
college is a beneficiary of the Fair
weather estate in New York, and has
q quarter million dollars endowment.
Three months ago most of the stu
dents petitioned the Tennessee synod
to exclude negroes, but the matter
was referred to the trustees, and no
further action taken. Two male ne
groes are enrolled.

THE STATUS OF PORTO RICO.
The Argument of +. II. Coudcrt. Jr..
Before the United states SUI
preme Court.

Washington, Jan. 9.-Upon the re
converting of the United States SUI
preme court Mr.. +. II. Coudert, Jr.,
resumed his argument in the Porto
Rican cases, continuing his conten-
ton that Porto Rico is not foreign
territory and hence that it is iincom-
petent for the government authorities
to levy and collect duties upon antilles
imported from Porto Rico to New
York. Before taking up the thraed
of mis- argument, Mr.. Coudert under
took to respond to a question pro-
pounded to him, Tuesday, by Justice
Brown. The question was whether n
country can cease to be IA foreign
country and yet not be part of tho
United States-whether there is an IN.
termediate condition.
Replying, Mr.. Coudert expressed
the opinion shat such IA condition
might exist temporarily, and he add
ed that the supreme court had recog-
nized it in dealing with Tampico, in
the case of Fleming VS.. Page, and in
dealing with California in the case
of Cross VS.. Harrison before the ac-
QUESTION Of California by the United
States was completed.
In such cases, he said, there was
still a foreign element to be reck-
oned with, and our assumption of au-
thority was military in character.
This assumption could be only tenn
porary. and in case of the subsequent
acquisition of the country in ques-
ton, civil government must of neces-
sity supersede the military control. On
the other hand, if the territory is not
acquired and is restored, the foreign
sovereign takes control without any
ostentation, showing that all the time
its rights have existed, though they
nave been dormant.
Mr.. Coudert contended hat in a
case of acquisition the dividing line
is passed when a treaty of acquisi-
ton is signed and ratified. When, he
said, we sanction acquisition by the
ratification of a treaty we thus sig
nalize our control of and sovereignty
over new territory. This, he asserted,
had been done in the case of Porto
Rico in the treaty of 1898, and by the
treaty Porto Rico had become az
much a part of the United States as
California had become by the pro-
ceedings subsequent to the war with
Mexico.
