indulge in winter sports to amuse his
grandchildren, especially when he is of
stocky build with a lot of supert1uous
flesh on his bones and has passed the
siXty-eighth milestone on life's journey.
The end came after two years of IL
ness, during which time Mr.. Armour Wis
ted German baths, passed the cold
months in Southern California and de-
voted himself largely to an attempt TO
restore his health, which, however, had
been broken never to be regained.
Fer several weeks the dead millionaire
had been living at the old family home
in Prairie avenue, the usual trip to
Southern California not having been
taken this winter. He came down to
the Office in the Home Insurance build
ing but seldom, and as the cold increa;-
ed, he did not come at all. 1t. was I'M
derstood in the Office that he had had
an incpient attack of pneumonia, but
It was given out no later than a week
ago that he was on the road to recov-
cry. 1t was noted, however, that the
constant attendance of DR.. Frank Bill
ings, the family physician, at the bed
side Of the sick men did not corroborate
the favorable reports at the downtown
office.
For several days death had been feared
as the outcome by the close associates of
the great captain of industry. They
realized that the decline from day to
day did not cease and that there could
be but one end. When death came his
grandchildren, who had SO close a place
in his heart, were at the family resi-
dence' as was j. Ogden Armour, the sur
viving son.
SONS DEATH FASTENED THE END.
The death of his son, Philip D. Ar
mour Jr., in Southern California, on
Jan. ~, 1900, was a great shock to the
health-broken man. The son had gone
on visit to his father and was taken
suddenly with pneumonia. His death
followed with scarcely a days warming
The son had largely interested the
father and inherited the business abil-
Ity of the Armours, and was closely fol-
lowing the footsteps of the head when
he was stricken down. His beautiful
home, completed but a year or two be-
fire at Michigan avenue and Thirty
seventh street, told of his love of art.
Mr. Armour was not able to accom-
pany the funeral party to Chicago.
When he did return here he went direct
10 OconomowOc and remained there I'M
til the chill weather in the fall drove
the summer cottagers to their city
homes.
After the death of Philip D. Armour
Jr., the vast interests Of Armour & Co.,
which had been carried on as CO.
partnership, were Incorporated under the
Did name of Armour & Co. This was to
provide greater stability in case OF death

He looked upon such holdings" said
DR.. Billings, "as investments rather than
from the speculative view point
1t was announced last night that the
funeral services would be held probably
at the Armour mission either Tuesday or
Wednesday, They will be conducted by
DR.. Gunsaulus, and in keeping with the
life and habits of the deceased, will be
simple in character.
Philip Danforth Armour was born May
16, 1892 at StOckbridge, Madison county,
N. Y. His education was obtained chiefly
at the country school house, although
supplemented at the local seminary. AS
a boy he was conspicuous for physical
and mental energy, as we'll as for genial
ity of disposition.
In the winter of 1872, he was seized
with the California gold mining fever, and
with others Joined in an overland trip to
the slope. Leaving Oneida, N. Y, in the
spring of 1852 the party reached Cali
fornia, after a journey of six months,
during which they suffered many trials
and dangers in the wilderness. For more
than three years, young Armour pursued
the rugged life of a miner. While sub
ject to all the tempta tons of his vicious
surroundings, the strict discipline of life
which had been maintained under the
paternal roof enabled him to withstand
every evil influence triumphantly He
returned to the East in 1856 to visit his
parents at the old homestead. He had
met with some rewards for his labor,
and after a few weeks visit he started
West again, settling at Milwaukee, where
he engaged in the commission business.
This he conducted successfully until 1863,
when he entered into partnership with
John Plankinton in the pork packing in
dustry. Mr.. Plankinton, the senior of
Mr.. Armour, recognizing the young mans
ability and business energy, induced him
to- dissolve the old finSn and form a new
organization. A younger brother, Joseph,
was placed in charge of the business in
Chicago, but his i'll health, in 1875, led
Philip D. Armour to remove to that city
to take active charge.
OF all the Armour brothers, Philip
probably attracted to himself more pub
lie attention than any of the Others by
reason of his remarkable personality and
his practical philanthropy, in which,
however, he was sustained by the liber-
atty of his older brothers The Armour
mission. one of the most conspicuous in
stitutions in Chicago, has been developer
through his activity and generosity from
a humble beginning to colossal magni-
tude. Joseph Armour, who died in 1881,
bequeathed 100000 for the founding of a
mission in Chicago, to be conducted on
certain novel lines. AS executor of the
estate, Philip D. Armour became pecu-
liarly interested in the carrying out Of
the trust imposed on him. The mission

BRITISH ARE IN FLIGHT
RESIDENTS ARE LEAVING DUTCH
VILLAGES IN THE VICINITY
OF CAPE TOWN
DUTCH UPRISING FEARED
No Important Military Movements
Reported to the War Office Yester-
day-POrtuguese at LOurenzO
Marques to Be Reinforced.

LONDON, Jan. This mornings news
from Cape Town is again unsatisfactory.
Martial law has been proclaimed at
Malmesbury and would have been pro-
claimed in other districts, but that the
cabinet meeting called Saturday was I'M
able to agree as to its Visibility
The vagueness of the situation con-
corning the movements and position of
the invaders has sent a fresh cold fit
over the colonists, and Cape Town calls
loudly for strong reinforcements from
England on the ground that the greater
part of Lord Kitchener's available force
is employed in protecting the lines of
communication and the Rand mines, the
latter extending for distance of dfty
miles.
AFRAID OF THE DUTCH.
1t is asserted by one Cape Town cor
respondent that unless the forces in
Cape Colony are increased, a most un-
desirable state of affairs may exist, as
the success in arms of the invaders,
however slight might be the signal for
a Dutch rising.
AS it is many British residents have
had to leave the Dutch villages near
Cape Town, their lives being unbearable,
according to a native report.
CALL FOR 10000 TROOPS.
The Cape Town correspondent of the
Daily News who calls for 10000 fresh
troops, says: Prominent Afrikander
loyalists declare that the rebeliious col
onists will construe the colonial call to
arms as a challenge, and that the omi-
nous silence of the pro-rebels, combined
with the fact that members of the pro-
Boer junta in Cape Town have been
touring in the disaffected districts, EN-
phasizes the necessity for martial law
The necessity was never more acute for
dispatching reinforcements. Already
there is proof that colonials are leading
one commando"
The military movements reported are
quite unimportant, though Portugal is
sending reinforcements to Lourenzo Mar
ques.
DR.. Leyds, according to The Hague
correspondent of the Daily Mail, is
recruiting in Holland, Belgium, France
and Germany and his recruits will be
sent out to Namaqualand, ostensibly as
emigrants, each man receiving $50 down
on starting.
DUNRAVEN GIVES WARNING. s.
In letter to the Times this morning
the earl of Dunraven, emphasizing the
Every grave situation in South Africa"
warns the country to distrust the
opinions of experts on the spot and to be
ready for the unexpected. He complains
Of the Inertia of the authorities and
urges the necessity of large reinforce
ments.
The Cape town correspondent of the
Times, who confirms the reports Of the
multiplicity of the Boer commanders,
says:
Nearly fve-sixths of the British troops
are employed to guard the lines of COM
munications and to garrison towns, leav-
ing a very small number, partly mounted,
to pursue the enemy. Large reinforce
ments are advisable, and these would be
cheaper in the end.
The damage which the Beers did to
the .Kleinfonteln is officially estimated at
9210,O0O.''

. ACADEMY OF MUSIC.-The advance de-
mand at the Academy of Music for re-
served seats for the opening next week Is
unprecedented in the history of the theater
and would indicate that the opening week
will be marked by enormous attendance.
The opening attraction will be THE Road
to Ruin" the sensational meiodrama, pos
sessing wholesome features and lessons and
absorbing heart interest. Each act con-
tains human interest and thrill. 1t shows
various phases of Greater New York life,
especially in the Tenderloin, on which the
mirror of nature is held before the audi
ence. The memorable Fayne Moore badger
game is wildly reproduced, the Tonbs
prison, a section of the new rapid transit
tunnel is shown, deadly encounter De-
tween two men clinging to window Sill
and a dark ravine are few of the pr1nc1-
pal scenes and features. Various special
ties are introduced. The prices, the hours
of admission and the matinees are the same
as last season. The box office is open from
8 am to 10 pm.
CHEVY CHASE LAKE.--This warm spell
is sending the crowds out to Chevy Chase
Lake every evening. There are always
plenty of cars to transport the largest
crowds with ease and dispatch. And there
are seats and rustic benches about the
grounds at the lake to accommodate 5000.
One never-failing source of pleasure is the
States Marine Band on Tuesday, Friday
and Sunday evenings. The grand concerts
are given from until IL o'clock, the pro-
grams being arranged to suit all tastes.
On Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and
Saturday evenings the big pavilion Is given
over to the dancers, the National Guard
Band being on hand to furnish the music.
Electric cars run to Chevy Chase Lake
every two minutes
THE INNOCENT MAIDS.-The Carl
Dammann Troupe, a newly arrived Euro
pean acrobatic family of six people, is a
special feature with 1.-THE Innocent Maids"
the attraction at the Lyceum next week.
The Dammann Troupe is by far the best
acrobatic act that has ever visited Ameri-
ca and accomplish feats that up to their
advent have been thought impossible. The
family consists of three men and three
women, and for reckless daring and grace
full feats of gymnatics have never been
equaled In addition to this feature 1.-THE
innocent Maids present a bill of decided
merit. The olio announced includes the
names of Bennett and Rich in their new
act entitled "At Camp in the Philippines;
john w. Jess, who has been lately starring
in "A Hot Old Time" assisted by Joe Mad
den, in a comedy sketch; Bartell and Nor
ris. musical comedians; Anna Yale and
Rose Carlin, couple of clever singers and
dancers; Constance Window, a petite chan
sonette, and chorus Of twenty pretty
girls.
