Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1890-10-12

his brown name of hair which rests upon his
coat collar is tinged with grey, and his sallow
face appears TO be full of bile. He had the grip
last winter, and his system was hardly able to
Stand!the drain. / have heard il said that he has
the stomach of an anaconda, but doubt 1t. His
father dispectic, and he committed suicide
while del.rious from one of his fits of dyspepsia,
and Lamar himself has been more or less aiiing
for years. He has very happy home life, and
MS second honeymoon has been quite as happy
as his first one.
You all remember the romance of his second
marriage. He knew his present wife when she
girl and he boy in his teens. The
two fell in love with one another, but Miss Dean
was captured by successful business man
named Holt. Holt was a railroad king Of the
South and his home was noted one. He died
some years ago. Lamar also married and his
wife died. Now the two come together again
and their Union is happy one. Mrs. Lamar is a
pretty woman with beautiful silvery white hair.
She has an erect and graceful carriage, she is
good tRlker and is popular in Washington So
ciety. Lamar first vile was also finely edu-
Gated woman. She was a cousin of Gen. Long
street.
Justice Miller is one of the most comfortable
looking men on the supreme bench. He lives
very nicely and entertains very well. He
plays good hand at wills, and is one OF the
hard work members of the court. His wife is a
very accomplished society woman, and she has
been so long in 81 ashington society that she is
an authori y on questions of social etiquette:
The judge is the senior member of the court, and
Mrs. Miller is in this respect the Dean OF the
CORPS.
MRS. sUsTICE FIELD.
One of the finest looking women Of the su-
preme court is Mrs. Stephen J. Field. She is
large, handsome and well preserved. She is
good talker, and the Field house has been for
years one of the eatest social centers OF Wash
lngton. Mrs. Field has been spending the past
season in Europe in company with her niece,
Miss Alice Condict smith. During the tour she
passed through Stratford-on- Avon and took
look At Shakespeare o bi tn place. Mrs. Field is
founder and chief patropess of a club of Shake
spaare lady students which meets
periodically here during the winter Judge
Fields friends like to think that he is I living
representation of Shakespeare. His big bald
head and high full forehead look much like
one OF Shskespeare's busts, and his pointed
beard carries out the Illusion.
II is also said that Tom Reed looks like
Shakespeare, but Reeds face is more like that
of the Man in the Moon than it is like that of
Judge Field, so that 1t is hard TO reconcile the
two resemblances. 1t seems to me tn at Justice
Field looks older since the appointment of
Chief Justice Fuller. Field had the right 10 ex-
pect the chief justice hip. He was one OF the
leading Democrats of the country, had already
distinguished himself on the bench, and 1t
would have been the most natural thing in the
world for Cleveland to have lifted him up step
and have appointed another man to have taken
his place. The matter was passed over at the
time, but Judge Field did not attend President
Cleveland judiciary dinner. which was given
to the supreme judges, and the nom acceptance
OF the invitation of which must have been con-
sidered an affront by President Cleveland: l
unds rstand that the relations between Mrs
Field and Mrs. Fuller, while friendly. not
cordial, and 1 doubt not the whole originates
in the trouble over Fuller's appointment.
JUsTICE FIELDS CHOLERA ExPERIENCg.
There is no man on the bench who has wider
general knowledge than Justice Field. He has
travelled everywhere, and he has read every
thing. He is man of the broadest of ideas,
and he could write an interesting book on
dozen different subjects. He comes you know,

he was thirteen years Of age he went to Smyrna,
and there acquired q knowledge of the Oriental
Languages. He had some terrible experiences
while there, and the cholera which is now SO
terribly raging in Japan and China, and which
may come to the United states, calls attention
TO one OF them. Young Stephen Field acted as
a nurse In attending a number Of cholera pa

OF the plague. These terrible dis

who have the plague die, and when man
is taken everyone flies from him. 1t is death to
be touched by man with the plague and the
same is almost true of the cholera. Justice Field
attended dinner in Smyrna just at about the
time the plague broke out. 1t was q brilliant
affair anc the guests were at the table. toast

and stood with their flied glasses in their hands
