Sixty Years q Typesetter.

Leonard Field is one Of the Oldest
printers in New York. Nearly sixty
years ago he began work as typeset'
ter upon a book, Roman Antiqui-
ties,' published about that time. After.
ward he set type on the Commercial
advertiser, where he remained for
eleven years. After that he worked
on various morning newspapers for .
few years, and thirty-fve years ago he
became q compositor in the office OF
the San, where he has remained
steadily ever since, workn, every day
at his case, and never losing a DAY oy
sickness. On TUESDAY he celebrated
his seventy-ninth birthday, but did not
even on 80 suspicious an anniversary:
neglect his case. In 1910 he visited
New Orleans, remaining away from
New York not over seven months. ana
two months of that time was spent in
the journey by sea. While in New
Orleans Mr.. Field was i'll with yellow
fever. Excepting that time he does
not recollect that he was ever sick.
Mr.. Field lives with his son in coy
and home-like apartments in Fourth
Avenue. His wife is some seven years
his junior, and is a white-haired LADY
with q handsome face and pleasing
manners, who regards with evident
pride and affection the partner to
whom for nearly sixty years size has
been married. The sturdy old gentle.
man clings to his stick and case with 2
devotion born of long and faithful
service, and would be broken in spirit
If he could not each day present him
self at the copy-hook, ready for work

The official executioner of In.

ed at his house in Vienna by
. decrepit and sorrowful old
woman, who begged him to give her .
remedy that would cure her son of q
propensity to steal. She was evidently
possessed Of the old superstition that the
hangman has peculiar power for giving
relief in such case; and the execution.
or, playing upon her credulity, gave her
. piece Of the rope with which the muir.
derer OF . letter.carrier had not long
previously been hanged, and told her to
conceal It under the mattress on which
her son slept. He also promised, il this
dld not work . cure, to draw blood
from him with the sword used for be-.
heading criminals. That would surely
prove eficacious. All this came ont
when the incorrigible son was subse.
quently convicted Of sundcy crimes and
bis old and stricken mother told the
court Of her efforts to make good man
Of him, and Of al the remedies she hal
tried. The executioner has now been
arraigned on char9e Of charlatanry.
