HEALTH OF WILLIAM.
Paris, March 30.—According to the
London correspondent of the Matin, a
dispatch was received from Berlin
during the night, coming from a high
quarter, which says that alarming
news has been received concerning the

a recrudescence of the throat trouble,
for which the Emperor was operated
upon last year.
Hixon Goes to the S. A. 1
Brunswick, Ga., March 29. —Capt. W.
E. Hixon, formerly roadmaster for the
Brunswick and Birmingham, resigned
that office on March 1 and since that
time has been winding up his affairs

three lucrative offers. He leaves to
morrow morning for Jacksonville, and
will at once assume control of 210
Bliles of the Seaboard system in a sim
ilar capacity as held by him here with
the Brunswick and Birmingham. Capt.
Hixon is an old railroader, and for
the past ten years or more was with

Birmingham trackage at a time when
some good man was needed at the
head of that work, and he has made
the Brunswick and Birmingham road
bed good one.

was between 25 and 30 years of age and
stood high with the officials of the road.

TROOPED OUT OF HOUSE
WHEN CHURCHILL SPOKE
Balfour and His Cohorts Didn’t Like
His Censure.
London, March 29.—The usual mo
tion providing for the adjournment of
the House of Commons over the Easter
holidays gave the Liberal leader. Sir
Henry Campbell Bannerman, an op
portunity to make a spirited attack on
the government. Sir Henry said he
did not think it was in accordance with
the spirit of the constitution that Pre
mier Balfour should retain power when
the country had shown at every op
portunity afforded it that he no longer
enjoyed its favor.
Mr. Balfour, replying, said he noted
the anxiety of the Liberal leader that
he should resign, but he was quite un
able to see why the government should
take the unprecedented course of re
signing office while it retained the con
fidence of the House. Sir Henry could
settle the question of the government’s
resignation or not by a vote of cen
sure.
Mr. Balfour concluded with declar
ing that the government’s fiscal policy
was that of real, progressive free
trade.
When Winston Spencer Churchill
(Conservative) rose and pressed Mr.
Balfour for a further explanation of
the government’s fiscal policy, saying
the vacillation of the government had
caused him to become one of its op
ponents instead of one of its support
ers, the Premier and all the Unionists
except ten trooped out of the House.
The incident led to protests on the part
of other memebrs against the discour
tesy shown to Mr. Churchill.
Th House adjourned until April 12.
MERE SPECULATION
AS TO OPPOSING FORCES.
London, March 30.—N0 Japanese re
port of the land operations in Korea
has yet been received here, and there
is much speculation as to the size of
the opposing armies, regarding which
there is no reliable information.
A correspondent at Russian head
quarters in Mukden telegraphs that ac
cording to reports received there about
10,000 Japanese have crossed the river
at Chin-Changau and 5,000 have ad
vanced north from Chong Ju.
The Chronicle’s Shanghai correspond
ents assert that practically the whole
Japanese army in Korea, consisting of
100,000 men, is concentrated at Pak
Chen and Anju, only small detach
ments being left in Southern Korea to
maintain communications.
A St. Petersburg special says that a
Russian division of 25,000 men from
Southern Ussuri is advancing in two
columns through Korea. The main col
umn, coming along the east coast road,
reached Puk Chang, 180 miles from the
Tumen river, and the flanking column,
consisting of Cossacks and mountain
artillery coming along the valley of
the Tumen river towards its source,
has reached the coast of Lake Tadjl.
This column reports that the Japanese
are advancing north from Gen San,
and that their advance guard is en
camped at Chong Ping. It is prob
able, however, that none of these re
ports can be accepted as authentic.
JAPANESE LOST 50;
COSSACKS LOST 100.
Seoul, March 28, 5:15 p. m.—A report
has reached here that fifty Japanese
and one hundred Cossacks were killed
and wounded In a skirmish that oc
curred between Anju and Tingju.
The above dispatch probably refers
to the engagement reported last night
as having occurred March 23, but in
which no Cossack losses were men
tioned.

Washington, March 29.—For the waht

dry civil appropriation bill In the
House to-day was closed several hours
before the time agreed upon and the
bill was read for amendment. Seven
ty-five pages were disposed of, the
only Important amendment adopted be

to the original design.
Mr. Campbell of Kansas, and Mr.

speakers to-day, the former defend

Republican party and the latter de

Mr. Williams declared that the fail

could read the report of the robbery

methods with which they had been al

responsibility on the head of that de

BACON EXPLAINS THAT GORMAN
REFERRED ONLY TO GEORGIANS
No Reason to Infer That the Maryland Senator
Would Not Like the Nomination.
By R. M. Larner.
Washington, March 29.—Senator Ba
con’s letter to the Augusta Chronicle
on the Parker boom created a political
sensation here, where several booms
are being secretly nourished.
A dispatch from Augusta, published
In a New York paper to-day, quoted
Senator Bacon as having written to
H. H. Cabaniss of the Chronicle that
Senator Gorman had told him that he
was not a candidate for the presidency,
and that the Georgia people should go
ahead with the Parker organization.
This dispatch was shown to Senator
Bacon this afternoon, who authorized
the following statement:
“The Augusta dispatch of March 28
to the New York Sun, giving a state
ment from Mr. H. H. Cabaniss of the
substance of a letter received by him
is correct. In order, however, to fully
understand the meaning of what I
wrote relative to the utterance of Sen
ator Gorman, it is proper to state that
our conversation related exclusively to
conditions in the state of Georgia, and
he will not be allowed to go to the
front from Harbin until April 2.
All the correspondents have been ex
pelled from Port Arthur because one
of them mentioned In his dispatches
important information regarding the
movements of Russian troops.

he inquired, “can the people come to
except that you are afraid an investi
gation will uncover new crimes that
will cast more reflections upon the ad
ministration.”
If, said Mr. Williams, he had to
select an issue upon which all Dem
ocrats could unite, he would say
"Roosevelt must be defeated.” He re
ferred to the characterization of Mr.
Roosevelt before he became President
as the "trust buster,” but, he said,
since he came into power all his in
dictments against the trusts were at
once turned Into apologies. "The
trusts long since,” he declared, amid
Democratic laughter, "have learned
what a harmless agitator he is.”
He said that one df the greatest Jokes
on the public was perpetrated when
the announcement was made, “that
Theodore Roosevelt was to be the anti
trust candidate in 1g04.” It was no
longer a secret, he asserted, that the
business Interests of the country, In
cluding many who supported McKinley,
do not regard President Roosevelt as
a safe man. By many, he said, his
administration was looked upon as a
continuing experiment entirely too
theatrical for the business interests of
the country without sufficient time be
tween acts to allow the people a
breathing spell.
He further attacked Mr. Roosevelt
when he said there were many Inci
dents in his administration which Jus
tify the apprehension that "on some
strenuous occasion he is liable to go
off too suddenly and too Inconsiderate
ly in some of the graver affairs of
the government.”
The House adjourned until to-mor
row.
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.
“It had no referehce to the general
attitude of Senator Gorman as to his
personal preference among those spok
en of in connection with the Demo
cratic nomination."
This was all Senator Bacon would
say. It leaves the situation regarding
Senator Gorman’s possible candidacy
just where his friends understood It
has been all along, namely, that Sena
tor Gorman, of course, would accept
the Democratic nomination if it should
come to him as the voice of his party,
but that Senator Gorman is not en
gaged in scrambling for delegates, and
is not encouraging his friends to In
augurate a campaign to that end.
It is considered probable that Sena
tor Bacon's letter will attract consid
erable attention in the South, and will
serve to stimulate the efforts of Demo-,
crats 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 ail to be

the popular mauve variety—came like
a thunderbolt out of a clear sky to
the men on ’Change and the thousands
of people who wear violets and are
familiar with the Standard Oil Com
pany. Mr. Twornbly, who also sells
milk, does not, therefore, depend upon
{he sale of orchids for his sole reve

benefit. Mr. Twornbly merely wears
an orchid in his buttonhole now and
then, and sometimes inspects the
greenhouse. But tt is different up at
Dobbs Ferry. Mr. Rockefeller has the
best sort of violets grown. He charges
anything he wants for them. They
are Standard, for the debutante, the
matinee girl, or the young man who
likes them on his frock. They are Just

Hunday-gchool rlass Is presented with
a blue bouquet of the finest variety

price of violets downtown Is higher.
FRUIT CROP WAS
IN NO WAY INJURED
SO COMMISSIONER THINKS.
FROST WAS SOT SEVERE ENOUGH
TO HtRT IT.
Only In the Northern Section of the
State Wna There Frost—That Was
Not Severe Enough to Damage the
Prospects for a Fine Crop—ln the
Southern Section, the Commission
er Thinks, It Was Not Injured la
the Least.
Atlanta, March 29.—Commissioner O.
B. Stevens of the Department of Agri
culture says he is satisfied the recent
cold spell has not in any way damaged
the fruit crop. While there was a
light frost in the northern part of
the state, it was not sufficiently severe
to hurt the crop to any extent.
“Even If the frost killed a few of
the buds,” said Col. Stevens, “this will
not injure the crop, for the trees were
so thickly covered with buds that It
would have been necessary to strip
off many of them, or many of the
young peaches. In order that the trees
might not be too heavily laden.
‘‘The crop in the southern part of
the state was in no wise hurt, in my
opinion.”
NO DAMAGE TO FRUIT
IN SOUTH GEORGIA.
Tifton, Ga., March 29. —There was a
perceptible frost in this section last
night, and no damage to fruit or grow
ing crops. Fresh south winds pre
vailed to-day. and removed all fear
of danger to the peach crop to-night.

ville 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 to-night, aged 65 years.
Death resulted from a general break
down due partly to old age. Mr. Har
rison was born in New Orleans and
grndunted from Yale in 1859. During
the war Mr. Harrison was private
secretary to Jefferson Davis, the Pres
ident of the Southern Confederacy, re
maining with him in the relation al
most of a son as well as of a secretary,
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
man In New York. He was secretary
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.

in him has indeed been remarkable.
Whenever I see a pale, thin child
now I think of it and wish that the
child could have the beneficial proper
ties which I know Ozomulsion con
tains. Our little son now weighs 33
pounds, has rosy cheeks, a good ap
petite, sleeps well and is growing
nicely. His digestion is all right, he
no longer suffers from constipation,
and, in fact, he is the picture of
health In every way.
We cannot possibly praise Ozomul
sion too much, an we are so thankful
for what It did to our little boy.
Very truly yours.

When the mother sees her little
child restored to health by Ozomul
sion she does not care about the
scientific reasons for this change In
health; all she cares about is that
SENILITY MEANS INCAPACITY
FOR ANY MANUAL LABOR
Secretary Hithcoch Explains the New Pension
Order to the Senate.
Washington, March 29,—The Secre
tary of the Interior to-day sent to the
Senate a communication in response
to a resolution offered by Senator
Overman directing the secretary to
send to the Senate a copy of the order
Issued by the department enlarging
the pension act of June 27, 1890, and
amendments as to the disability of
applicants for pensions and to report
by what amount the order will increase
pensions annually.
Secretary Hitchcock, In his reply,
maintains that the order referred to Is
clearly within executive authority and
In conformity with existing laws and
methods which have heretofore pre
vailed In Its administration. He con
tinues:
‘‘Disability, partial or complete, to
perform manual labor Is the sole
measure of the right to a pension un
der this act of June 27, 1890. The ele
ment of manual labor Is fundamental.
If In adjudication of a pension claim,
It shall be determined that the appli
cants pensionable disabilities render
him wholly incapacitated for manual
will not affect this horticultural com
bination.
The Rockefeler gardener, when In
terviewed at Dobbs Ferry to-day, said:
"Yes, we have a corner on the violet
magknt. Our violets are the best
known, most popular, and largest spe
cies In the world. Sprinkling them
liberally with oil each morning in
duces a rapidity of growth and a
poignancy of odor that can be obtain
ed In no other way. I am sorry to hear
that all other violet growers are going
out of business, but, as Mr. Rockefeller
has so often told us, ’Business is bus
iness, In love or war.’ "
ANIMALS AT SCHOOL.
A Hade Training Which Partake* of

John Burroughs In the Century.
Is there anything which, without
great violence to language, may be
called a school of the woods? In the
sense In which a playground Is a school
—a playground without rules or meth
ods or a director—there Is a school of
the woods. It is an unkept, an un
consclou* school or gymnasium, and Is
entirely Instinctive.
In play the young of all animate, no
doubt, get a certain amount of training
and discipline that helps fit them for
their careers, but this school Is not pre
sided over or directed by purents.

health has been restored and the
child is now vigorous and strong and
able to grow and develop as it 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
bodv must languish in consequence.
When the child takes Ozomulsion it
not only gets the wonderful properties
of cod-liver oil in the best possible
form for palate and stomach, but it
also gets the hypophosphttes of lime
and soda, which have a favorable ef
fect upon the digestion, fee,d the nerv
ous 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. It 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 a remarkable prepara
tion. and in all those conditions in
which children do not thrive it is the
best remedy which could be employed.
Ozomulsion contains no harmful drugs
whatever, and is perfectly safe to give
to children. Its sweet taste alone
commends it, because children like it
and do not look upon it as a medi
cine.
Druggists sell Ozomulsion at 50
cents and SI.OO.
If your druggist does not keep Ozo
mulsion in stock, he can easily order
it for you, or if you desire a small
sample to see what it is like you can
obtain the same by mentioning tha

"It Is well understood that ’there Is
a natural decay of the physical pow
ers, due solely to age, which impairs
man’s capacity to ‘earn a support’ by
his own manual labor.
“Not only does the act Itself provide
that ’each and every infirmity shall be
duly considered,’ but the decisions un
der It uniformly recognize the principle
that disabilities due to senility alone
are responsible.
"The order in question merely lays
down as a convenient rule of decision,
and a rebuttal presumption of fact,
that one who Is otherwise entitled and
Is 62 years of age, is partially disabled
from earning a livelihood by his hands;
that one who Is 65 years old is more
dlsnbled for manual work; that one
who is 68 is in a still greater degree
Incapable of earning a support by man
ual labor, and that one of 70 Is com
pletely disabled in this regard.”
The acting commissioner ofSpenslons
estimates that the order of March 15,
1904, will result in an increase In ex
penditure annually of $5,400,000.
and dodge each other in the same way;
bears wrestle and box; chickens have
mimic battles; colts run and leap;
fawns probably do the same thing;
squirrels play something like a game
of tag In the trees; lambs butt one
another and skid about the rocks, and
so on.
In fact, nearly all play. Including
much of that of man, takes the form
of mock battl?. and ie to that extent
an education for the future. Among
the carnivora it takes also the form
of the chase. Its spring and motive
are, of course, pleasure and not edu

ning of nature—the power that con
ceals purposes of Its own in our most
thoughtless acts. The cat and the kit
ten play with the live mouse, not to
Indulge the rense of cruelty, as some
have supposed, but to Indulge In the
pleasure of the chase and of capture,
and unconsciously to practice this feat.
The cat rarely plays with a live bird,
because the recapture would be more
difficult and might fall. What fisher
man would not like to capture his big
fish over and over again, If he could be
sure of doing It, not from cruelty, but
for the pleasure of practicing nls art?
