Just a Ripple.

Recent events in the political
world of Florence, bring before
US forcibly, the necessity for all
women to make themselves in
some degree familiar with practi-
cal politics,
We believe the recent display of
authority on the part of the
Union" leaders, will be visited
with justice upon their own heads,
yet no thinking woman can fail to

placed Mrs. Ruddick

who, having left upon our shoulders
the burden OF family to support,
will need the knowledge of every
day business life which is so
essential
Florence, while justly noted for
the enterprise of its business men,
has been equally noted for the
lack of public spirit among its
women. So if this little ripple
upon lis political sea shall serve
in any degree to waken them to "A
sense of their own responsibility
in public affairs, Mrs. Ruddick

Chicago, January Phillip Danforth
Armour, financier and multi-millionaire,
head of the vast commercial establish
ment that bears his name, died at his
home, 2,115 Prairie avenue, at5.45 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon.
A muscular affection of the heart was
the Immediate cause of death. He had
been slowly recovering from pneumonia,
which, for three weeks. had been threat
ening his life. At 8 o'clock yesterday
morning his heart gave way under the
strain of his recent illness, his pulse run
ming up to 103. That was the beginning
of the end. During the day he had real
lied that death was near, and was con-
scious until within an hour of his death.
just before his death ono of the nurses
who had been attending him drew a
chair to the bedside and slowly read
from the Bible the Lords prayer. 1t
was read sentence by sentence and each
was repeated by Mr.. Armour.
The end came after two years of i'll
ness, during which time Mr. Armour
visited German baths, passed the cold
months in Sout hern California and de-
voted himself largely to an attempt to
restore his health.

Conquest Of Beers.

New York, January 7.-Charles D.
Pierce, Consol General of the Orange
Free State in New York, and treasurer
of the Boer relief fund in America, has
given out the following statement:
"The news coming to us every day,
both by public and private cable, shows
the reported conquest of the Doors to bo
a delusion.
"There are undor arms on the Boer
side mo. than 10000 hardy, determined,
invincible patriots, of which 5000 are
now invading Cape Colony, against the
100000 troops landed from Great Britain
and her dependencies.
"The British invaders have lost more
than 45 per cent of that force The
total Boer losses in killed in dying from
wounds have not exceeded 1900, but
their loss in property and in the impov-
erishment of the people has been great.
"Part Of tho Boers are armed with
Mausers, using plain bullet, but many
have Lee-Metford rifles, which use the
dum-dum bullets, and all of tho latter
were captured from the English. They
bear the arrow mark Of Woolwich."

Ship Coos Down and Many Lives are Lost.

San Franciso, January 5.--The steamer
Iaqui, which left this CITY yesterday
afternoon for San Diego with cargo of
general merchandise, was wrecked some
time last night on Duxbury reef, Just
outside the Golden Gate, and all on
board with tho single exception Of Chief
Engineer Burril, who was washed ashore
on an overturned boat after being in the
water two hours, are bolisved to have
perished.
Tho details are meager, but it Ia known
that there were between 80 and 40 per-
sons on board the ill-fated vesael at the
time of the accident. The Iaqui sailed
from Eureka several days ago for San
Fran Pedro and put in here yesterday to
land some passengers, and as soon as
that duty had beon attended to Capt.
Basch put to sea again. How the disas-
ter occurred Is not known, but heavy
swell was on outside the heads last
night and 1t is probable that the unfor-
tunate vessel drifted too near the reef in
the haze that overshadowed the water
and was thrown upon the rocks by the
swell, She Is total loss.

and threw the reins over fenoe
post, parties who were lying in wait
behind his crib and stables shot at
him. He was hit on the chin and
left arm by two shot, and five shot
entered his heavy overcoat, but did
not penetrate the flesh. He drew his
revolver and returned tho fire. He
advanced to within twenty-five steps
of his assailants, and as one of them
stepped from behind the crib Mr..
Corbin shot for the first time. The
man staggered, groaned and re-
treated. Several shots were then
fred at Mr.. Corbin from different
points around the crib and stables,
but he was not again hit. He called
to his sons to bring the rifles. They
responded at once, and several shots
were exchanged as the parties re-
treated across the fields and into the

distant.
