DEATH OF MRS. ARMOUR.
Little Friend to All the World"
Passes Away.

Many of the children and adults of the
National capital will mourn the passing of
Mrs. Helen E. Armour little friend to ell
the world Mrs. Armour, who was the
wife of Capt. Robert Armour and whose
home was at 203j Fl street northwest, died
Wednesday evening after an illness of more
than three months. Funeral services will
be held at her late residence tomorrow
afternoon.
Those who knew Mrs. Armour give CRATE
full testimony to the work and welldoing
that earned for her the title of little
friend to all the world She was hap
piest when contributing more than her
share TO the happiness of others. Back in
1891, with thought for the many little
tots, who around Christmas time, write
their childishly innocent little notes to the
toy-Giver, Mrs. Armour had published in
The Evening Star a letter which she
found it impossible TO reply to all of them
unaided, and so to carry out her loving
purpose The Evening Stars Santa Claus
Club was formed, which numbered among
its members many of those who are now
real Grown-up folks, but who remember
Mrs. Armour and her letters with the deep
est affection and respect.
For the past several years Mrs. Armour,
as agent of the Humane Society of the
District, was in the habit of visiting the
public schools of the city and had formed
a great many Bands of Mercy" among
the pupils, the members subscribing to the
promise, Il will be kind to every living
creature and will try to protect them from
cruel usage Day after. day and week
after week Mrs. Armour visited the various
school classes and told the little pupils
stories illustrative of kindness and con-
slderation toward one another and toward
dumb animals. Both teachers and scholars
showed at all times deep interest in and
appreciation of her work
-Four months ago Mrs Armour had a
severe attack Of the grip, which affected
her heart, and for the past fourteen weeks
she mad been confined to her bed In all
that long Illness she displayed the Same
qualities of mind and heart that so en-
deared her to her friends, and her deaih
mas caused universal sorrow to all who
knew her and her untiring efforts to aid
and help every one with whom She came
in contact.

TO CARRY ON THE FIGHT
LAND CONVENTION FIZZLED.
TAME RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.


Special Dispatch to The Star.
DENVER, June 21.-The public lands
convention, which ended here last night,
was a disappointment. After days OF
speeches-not debates-a very tame set
of resolutions was adopted, and sine die
adjournment was taken without opportu-
nifty having been afforded the mass OF
delegates to express their views on the
questions at issue. The most significant
act of the convention was an agreement
to keep up a permanent organization Of
the forces which called the Denver meet
ing with the idea of insisting on the
carrying out by Congress and the admins
tration Of the points demanded in the
resolutions adopted here.
The western popularity Of President
Roosevelt went farther than anything else
toward saving the day for the admins
tration. At no point in the convention
proceedings was Roosevelt'S name men
toned without enthusiastic cheers, and
even Secretary Garfield and Clifford Pin
chot, who at the opening of the meeting,
faced a determined opposition, went away
with the expressed faith of the body of
delegates that they were sincere in
their wish to learn what the west wants,
and to carry out those wishes far as is
work of those two men in the face of
heavy odds was the feature of the con-
VentiOn.
The general feeling is that without their
presence the tone of the resolutions would
have been a great deal more radical. IL
there was anything in the lnslstent
rumors that the intention of the conVen-
ton was to strike a blow at Roosevelt,
that plan utter failure. The resolu-
tons adopted will undoubtedly bear fruit
in some changes favorable to the western
stockmen in that greater protection Will
be offered the small stockmen and the
homesteader, but the great interests have
not q great deal to hope for. The free use
of the public range demanded in the reso-
buttons is regarded as utterly hopeless.
