health has been restored and the
child is now vigorous and strong and
able to grow and develop as 1t ought
to do.
The trouble with children as a rule
is that for some unknown reason
their systems lack the nourishing
properties of food and the growing
body must anguish in consequence.
When the child takes Ozomulsion 1t
not only gets the wonderful properties
of cod-liver oil in the best possible
form for palate and stomach, but it
also gets the hypophosphites of lime
and soda, which have a favorable eff
feet upon the digestion. feed the nerv-
Gus system and sustain the growing
brain. This combination of cod liver
oil and hypophosphites, as is found in
Ozomulsion, Is the best possible rem
edy for children who do not thrive.
OZomulsion is a splendid remedy for
coughs and colds and all affections of
the throat and lungs. 1t goes far be-
yond this. however, in giving vitality
to the entire system and bringing
back the physical vigor by which all
children show their prosperity in
growth.
For the teething baby that suffers
so much distress in its little world
Ozomulsion Is remarkable prepara-
ton, and in all those conditions in
which children do not thrive 1t is the
best remedy which could be employed.
Ozomulsion contains no harmful drugs
whatever, and is perfectly safe to give
to children. It's sweet taste alone
commends It, because children like it
and do not look upon it as medi-
cine.
Druggists sell Ozomulsion at so
cents and S1.00.
If your druggist does not keep Ozo-
mulsion in stock. he can easily order
It for you, or it you desire small

BACON EXPLAINS THAT GORMAN
REFERRED ONLY TO GEORGIANS
No Reason to Infer That the Maryland Senator
Would Not Like the Nomination.

what he said was limited to what in
his opinion, was the proper course for
conservative Democrats in Georgia to
pursue, having those conditions in
view.
1T had no reference to the general
attitude of Senator German as to his
personal preference among those spok-
en- of in connection with the Demo-
cratic nomination.
This was all Senator Bacon would
say. 1t leaves the situation regarding
Senator Germans possible candidacy
just where his friends understood it
has been all along, namely, that Sena-
tor German, of course, would accept
the Democratic nomination If it should
come to him as the voice of his party,
but that Senator German is not en-
gagged in scrambling for delegates, and
is not encouraging his friends to in
augurate a campaign to that end.
1t is considered proba BILE that Sena-
tor Bacon's letter will attract consid-
cradle attention in the South, and will
serve to stimulate the efforts of Demo-.
Gratis who desire a full and free con-
ference at st. Louis over the relative
merits of all candidates to see that
the delegates sent are not all to be
instructed for one man.

Washington, March 29.-Burton Nor
willie Harrison, a lawyer of New York
and husband of Mrs. Burton Harrison,
the authoress, and father of Congress-
man Harrison of New York city, died
here tonight, aged 65 years.
Death resulted from a general break
down due partly to old age. Mr.. Har-
rison was born in New Orleans and

secretary to Jefferson Davis, the Pres
ident of the Southern Confederacy, re-
naming with him in the relation al

to the end of the war. He shared in
the capture of Mr.. Davis, rather than
forsake his fortunes at their fall. When
Mr.. Davis was carried to Fort Monroe
for Imprisonment, Mr.. Harrison was
sent to prison in Washington and final
ly was sent to Fort Delaware, where
he remained in solitary confinement
until 1866, when he was released.
Mr.. Harrison during the latter
months of his imprisonment studied
law and later went into the office of
former Judge Fullerton in New York,
where he has since continued in the
practice.
Mr.. Harrison was a prominent club
to Mayor Wickham of New York. and
was largely instrumental In the prose-
cution Of the Tweed ring. He mar
ried Miss Constance Cary of Virginia.
In addition to Congressman Harrison
of New York city, Archibald Cary
Harrison and Fairfax Harrison Of
Washington survive him.

The Charity Organization Society yesterday re-
ceived a letter from Francis J. Lantry Commits
sioner Of Correction. asking that detailed informa-
ton regarding mendicancy prisoners who had been
improperly released from BIackwelrs Island be-
fore their terms completed should be fur
nished to him. The complaint of the society
against his department had not been brought to his
attention except through the newspapers, and at
the time he wrote he did not know that the So
ciety had instructed Special officer James Forbes

When Mcdonald was arrested he gave the name
of Robert Brown. and appeared in the records of
the Department of Correction under that name"
explained Mr.. Forbes yesterday to a Tribune re-
porter. He declared at the time that it was his
first offence. A month later his friends
brought pressure to bear the magistrate to
bring about his release. Magistrate Moss sent to
the Department Of Correction for the mans record
He was told that this his first offence He
thought that the fellow should have another
chance, and acted in perfect good faith in recon-
mending his release It simply goes show that
the records Of the Department of Correction
improperly kept, and that the gistrates cannot
depend upon them when it comes TO the question of
releasing prisoners before their terms expire"
Mr.. Forbes then showed a reporter a blank form
