6 THE LOCKPORT JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 17, 1901. .NEW ARMOUR HEAD. THE YOUNG MAN WHO MANAGES A $15,000,00* BUSINESS. Hour*, Hard LIT In* the Routine Which He Ha« Made F«r Him.eH-Trained For the Jonathan Ofden Aimour, the new head of the Armour family, has been trained from his earliest youth tor the task of nanasing the great estate of which he ROW has control. On him devolves the tharge of the greatest provision business in the world; and to him come through the gifts and bequests of his father the power and the responsibilities inherent la the possession of $15,000,000 of business capital. tike his father, he has given to the business his full strength and energy, holding himself as strictly accountable tor the use of his time aa he holds any employee of the arm. After he graduated from Yale in 1889, Young Armour took a short European trip and then returned to Chicago. His I duties were long at the stockyards, and there he could be seen every morning »a early as any of his employees. There, too, he staid until the heavy buyinf of the I day was over. He and his younger brother were finally taken into partnership by their father, each being given a fourth interest in the business. Then last fall the business of Armour & Co. was incorporated, and a short time afterward P. D. Armour retir- ed from the presidency to become chairman of the board of directors, and J*Og- den Armour waa made president in his stead. . • \ > If any anecdotes are told of Mr. Ar- mour instancing acts of generosity and big heartedness. A single case may be tdted here. An employee in the stockyards was dismissed by the superintendent on charges of dereliction of duty despite many a protestation of innocence. It hap- pened that through a mutual acquaint" ance of the wife of the employee the case was brought to the attention of Ogden Armour. The employee had at this time been out of work for some months, and in the meantime his firstborn babe was given him, only to be snatched awaf by the dread angel of death within a few hours after its birth. This fact, taken in connection with the husband's nonemployment, of course FUU FOR CHILDREN, Chicaso Preparing to Give Her Poor- er Voangsterit a Glorious Time. Beginning on June 16 the poor children of Chicago are to have the grandest fete Intended exclusively for children that has ever been known. On that day youngster* from all the poorer sections of the citj by the lake will assemble on the campus of the University of Chicago. There and then they will proceed to have the time of their lives. Unlimited preparations havs been or will be made to receive them. Music, games, sports and drills of all kinds are to be indulged in, for it is intended to make this occasion a memora« ble one in the history of Chicago children. Ihe great fete will probably last for a numbet of days. This great children's festival Is to be held under the auspices of the various social settlement societies, the Hull House and kindred organizations. The indirect object Is to give the children a good time and to direct their thoughts toward healthful methods of enjoying CHILE A DISTURBER. HER MISCHIEF MAKING PART IN SOUTH . AMERICAN AFFAIRS. • J.

The whole story was given to the young Mr. Armour, and, though he made no promises in the matter, it was teamed afterward that the subject had gained his attention. Within 24 hours the employee's wife was the recipient of a letter which gave her husband the means of employment and at the same time con- tained a very substantial expression of sympathy for herself. Six years ago Mr. Armour married Miss Sheldon of Cincinnati, and he has one child, a little girl named Lolita. So delicate was this child when born that it waa absolutely necessary to put the tiny heiress in an incubator as the one chanc* of saving her life. And there the Chicago heiress lived, or, rather, caught up with life and overtook strength and baby health. For six weeks the mite lived in a tin box, with a glass front and side, tor that is what an incubator is. Mr. Armour's home life has been as quiet as that of his father, and his mag* nificent house on Michigan avenue has been only rarely the scene of large social gatherings. Again, like his father, Mr. Armour has made it his custom to rise early and retire early, and the down town dubs to which he belongs see him sel MISS MARIE RUEF HOFEB. S ~ themsehes, instead of the cruel and vul- gar methods that are too often developed by their ordinary manner of living. The direct object of the fete is to secure funds to start the social centers into which Professor Zueblin of Chicago, the well known sociologist, is trying to trans- form the public schoolhouses. This will probably be accomplished by the collec- tion of a small admission fee from the general public, who are invited and ex- pected to go and see the children at play. Another object of the fete is to give the general public of Chicago ai» object lesson in the benefits which ma& come to pe*e children through play prop- erly directed. On the university campus are to be whirligigs, giant swings, turning poles, gayly decorated May poles, hand organs, with a monkey or two; Punch and Judy j shows, a carrousel and other things that interest and amuse the juvenile mind. Besides these the children will have games, drills, songs, gymnastics, etc. One very interesting feature will be the giv- ing of national dances by the children and the playing, of folk singing gamea In cosmopolitan Chicago it has not been very difficult to find material for these transatlantic amusements. The nation- alities to be represented at the festival are the German, Bohemian, Swedish, Italian, Polish and a host of others. There will be no lack of picturesque va- riety in speech and color. Chicago's children are fortunate in hav-. tng at the head of the committee which has charge of the festival so eminent an authority on children as Miss Marie Ruef Hofer. Miss Hofer is one of the best known and ablest kindergartners of the United States. She is a musician as well as a teacher and has had charge for some time of the music in the social set- tlements. She is especially Interested in folk songs and has made many and thorough investigations along that line. Mrs. Armour's tastes are akin to those of her husband. .Her house has not the stereotyped look usually given by the hand of the professional decorator. Although palatial it has an individuality, am> one can see the touches of its mistress. K > , Armour is strict as to early hours ana simple in her ideas of entertaining. Her dinners are at older fashioned hours than are usual in the set she graces, and although her dishes are of the rarest as to selection and preparation they are unat tended by costly vintages. This may be in deference to her husband's tastes, which are known to be ascetic on these "points. Aa the head of the great business inter cats of Armour & Co.

B e C a l l e d Off. There is more trouble in South Amer lia. This time it is internal. When oui volatile and hot headed neighbors to th<. south are not engaged in picking a quar rel with some European nation, leaving us on the tenterhooks of fear that w< shall be compelled to enforce the Monro* doctrine, they are fighting among them selves. Matters have not yet reached the fighting stage this time, but some of the South American republics are "making faces" at one another. That has been cause before this of a great deal of blood- shed. The trouble this time is all over the coming congress of American republics, which is scheduled to convene in the City of Mexico next October. The executive committee of the bureau of American republics has had charge of the prelimi- naries of the proposed conjrress. Mr. David Jayne Hill, assistant secretary of state of the United States, is chairman of this committee. Everything seemed to point to a quiet, peaceable meeting next October, and on the programme of subjects to be discussed was that of arbitration of disputes. Chile, the elongated mischief maker of South America, has just announced that she will cot take part in the coming congress unless the discussion of arbitration and any agreement on that question leaves severely alone all pending or past disputes. Chile is willing to have arbi- trated any question that may arise in the future. As for present matters of dis- pute between herself and the other South American countries Chile prefers to set- tle them herself. As Chile is the richest, most enterprising and most warlike of the South American republics a congress of American republics without her would be like "Hamlet" without the Danish prince. If they decide to hold the congress without her, she will not of course be bound by any decision regarding arbitration arrived at and matters would remain in statu quo. Most of the other countries of South America are willing and anxious to have pending questions settled by arbitration. Chile's attitude in this matter is easily understood when her position is explain- ed. She has boundary disputes on with the Argentine Republic, with Peru and with Bolivia. That with Argentina has been submitted for arbitration to the King of England and tliat sovereign has a body of engineers investigating the matter. The disagreements with Peru and Bolivia are not, however, in so satisfac tory a condition. In 1884 Chile, having trounced Peru and Bolivia, made peace. By the terms of the treaty Tacna and Arica, the inv "The pitcher that goes often to the well is broken at last." There's a world of wisdom in that familiar proverb, and a sound application of it to disease, especially to such familiar forms of disease as coughs and colds. Singularly enough the very thing that ought to cause alarm is given as excuse for a feel- ing of safety. "It's nothing; only a cough. I've had it before." The fact that a cough re- curs periodically should be warning enough to take it in time, for the most serious and disastrous of all maladies begins with a cough. The use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery not only stops the cough but cures the cause. It cures obstinate, deep- seated coughs, VS-<n bronchitis, w e a k VJ1/ lungs, hemor- rhages, diseases which if neglected or unskilfully treated find a fatal termination in consumption. Accept no substitute for " Golden Med- ical Discovery." There is no other med- icine "just as good" fur weak lungs. <*I was very sick indeed," writes Mrs. Mollie J acobs, of Felton, Kent Co., Delaware, "and our amily doctor said I had consumption. I thought i I must die soon for I felt so bad. Had a bad cough, spit blood, was vsry short of breath, in fact could hardly get my breath at all some times. 1 had pains in my chest and right lung, also had dyspepsia. Before I took your ' Golden Medical Discovery' and ' Pleasant Pellets' I waa so weak I could not sweep a room, and now I can do a small washing. I worked in the canning factory this fall, and I feel like a new person. I believe that the Lord and your medi- cine have saved my life, I was sick over two J ears. I took thirteen bottles of the ' Golden ledical Discovery,' and four vials of Dr. Pierce's Pellets."

Koo-Loo Soaps are made by a process unknown to other manu- facturers. This will be proven to your satisfaction when you test them. There are other neutral soaps, but these are ABSOLUTELY the only soaps today made, that the alkali effect is dtstroyed, When any other soap maker can destroy the alkali effect, they can make as good soap as the Koo- Loo's. This same rule applies to the perfume. The PERFUME in the KOO.LOO ECHO TOILET cost $5 50 per ounce. Our Koo-Loo Dandruff Shampoo Soap today has no rival. Our Echo Toilet is sweeter and purer than any $1.00 per cake of soap today made, and sells for lo cents.

(Densely valuable nitrate lands, were ced ed to Chile a.s a peace offering. Antofa- gasta, the only Bolivian territory that contains a seaport, had been occupied by Chile and remained in her hands, without being definitely ceded to her. The agreement made between Chile and Peru Was that Tacna and Arica were to remain in Chilean possession until 1894, a period of ten years. At the end of that time a plebiscite was to be taken, and, as the people of the disputed territory desired, the territory was either to remain Chilean property or be ceded back to Peru. In the latter case Peru was to pay to Chile a war indemnity or $10,000,000. In the meantime, however, Chile found out that the conquered provinces were capable of paying at least one-third of her expenses. Accordingly the plebiscite was never taken, and Chile remains comfortably in possession of Tacna and Arica. Antofagasta also, which is rightfully Bolivian territory, is still in the bauds of the enterprising Chileans. Chile's attitude toward Peru and Bo- livia is now and ha»* been for some time that of the late Mr. Tweed toward the people of New Yerk. What are they go- ing to do about it? .There is not the least doubt that Chile coul a repeat her trick of SsO years ago and again vhip both Peru and Bolivia combined. Why, then, should - she arbitrate? That "they should take Who have the power and they should keep who can" is pretty well understood at Santiago and Valparaiso. Peru and Bolivia are tryinp to strengthen their position by alliances, and Chile, with the prestige of success, is also not without allies in South America. It is believed, however, that Chile has no friends, in the real sense of the term. Any allies she may have are on her sise because they are afraid of her power and aggressive- ness. The Chileans are known as "the Yankees of South America." In justice to Chile it must be said that phe has expressed her willingness to ac- quiesce in the proposed arbitration of all disputes—past, present or future—pro- vided that at the coming congress the delegates are unanimously in favor of such m course. At first Chile announced that she would not enter into the congress unless an agreement was made that her boundary disputes with Peru and Bo- livia would be excluded from the proposed discussion of arbitration. There was a tacit agreement to this effect. Then Pern, and Bolivia objected. Thereupon Chile made her seemingly genuine offer concerning a unanimous vote, but this it turn was rejected by Peru and Bolivia, who fear perhaps that unanimity will be unattainable. And so the matter rests. If Chile participates in the congress, the other two countries will not, and if Chile Is absent the discussions will have little if any effect. JEWELRY JOTTINGS.
