SEE LITTLE TYCOON TONIGHT

In all the worlds history nothing so
coloSsal had heretofore been attempted
by the hand of man. For years no
capita could be secured. Assistance
finally came and the great work was
begun. That was in 1853, if the writer
remembers correctly. Field, then a
young man. personally superintended
every detail Though most determined
in his work. he was at times angered by
what we call croakerS nowadays,
who were against the project
from the start and never wanted to
see it completed. His great detection
can be imagined when after four years
of incessant toll at what he esteemed
his Iife'S mission, the great cable parted
in mid Atlantic when the work was al
most completed. When the news
reached New York the croakers were
iubilunt. The men who had put up
the capital were mad. They called a
meeting and requested young Fields
presence. They went over the ground
and then asked Field what he had to

can be imagined when he replied:
81 shall finish the work that have
begun
Under circumstances so diScJuraging,
never were words spoken with such
determination as the young man evinced
as he spoke. The directors and stock
holders were appalled, beyond measure.
They could not help but admire such a
demonstration of firm resolution.
Russell Sage, one of those present, and
then IA man of moderate wealth, got the
floor and said that such pluck must not
be discouraged by capital, Even if
go penniless Field shall have another
chance" was the way he put it.
And so they all agreed. Another eX-
pediton was fitted out and the search
began for the ends of the broken ca BILE.
Operators were kept at the keys of the
New York and London ends to note the
first stroke that was to inform them
that the broken ends had been found,
as one operator was kept on board for
that purpose. Days, weeks, and
months passed away and still the opera
tors in New York and London got no
sign. \ year passed away and then
six months more, when at last the joyful
news was flashed from mid-occan that
both ends had been recovered. Two
continents were Immediately ablaze
with Joy. Messages came and went
between Presidents. Kings and Emper
ors. The name of Field was on every
tongue in Europe and America. His
praise, were everywhere sung. Such
was the triumph of resolute perSever-
ance.
The work made Mr.. Field million
airc. He purchased stock in various
enterprises and multiplied his riches.
Some years ago he retired, resigning
all his interests to his son,
Edward. and David Lindley,
his son-in-law. For seven years
the firm Field, Lindley & Co. did
a grain and provision BUSINESS in
New York and Chicago. The father
was known in it as a special partner.
He withdrew his name altogether two
wears ago. Then it became known that
the firm was "shaBy." Edward had

DELAWARE'S WHIPPING re
II Keeps Bad Characters Out of the
state.


state.
The whipping season has opened in
Delaware. 1t always does with the
first of December when the offenders OF
the past year are given the lash at the
pillory which is of effective but
primitive construction. 1t is com
bincd with the whipping post, long
plank extending through the upper
part of the post. There are orifices in
which the culprit's neck and wrists are
securely fastened while he stands upon
a platform. The position is an exceed
ingly painful one.
The severity Of the punishment at
the whipping post depends altogether
upon the inclination of the sheriff, as
the law does not attempt to prescribe
with what force the blows shall be APP
piled. The whip is a verita BILE CATO
nine tails, nine tough leather thongs
secured to stout handle. With
tins instrument the sheriff could, if so
disposed. make each blow cut to the
bone, but severe whippings have not
been the rule for years
The whipping post and pillory have
been conspicuous features of Delawares
criminal code for years, and despite the
occasional efforts to create a sentiment
in favor of their abolition, are likely to
remain for years to come. 1t is no
longer contended, however, that the
post acts as deteareut upon petty
thieves, who are its principal victims.
That it does not Is attested by the fact
that there are a number of culprts
who have been dashed two or more
time, The chief advantage urged in
favor Of the post and pillow is that

gentry have frightful dread of the
punishment that awaits them if caught

an experience at the whipping post is
considered a deep disgrace, that de
grades them beyond redemption in the

struck the entire Baraga crowd out in

big salary by the Baraga people to re-
main and play the balance of the

heard from him, and it is supposed
that he did not come back but accept
ed the offer. There are rumors that
Ford as been seen at his accustomed
place behind the d. nj. Co. counters,
but when asked about base ball he
knew nothing Of the game, in fact had
never heard of it. A reporter has been
detailed to hunt up "Kazook" and 9th
ers OF the boys, but SO far has not been
successful in finding any one who ever
played with the On onaeon team. 1t
