A CHARMING FAMILY.
A brown-eyed lad of seven or nine
years is the eldest of three boys, the fruit
Of Mr.. Fields second union. Three chill
dren by his first wife are living, and are
the pride of their father. The eldest son
is promising young attorney Of Denver,
associated with the firm of which Sem
ator Wolcott Is the senior partner. A
second son, an accomplished young
gentleman, is an assistant paymaster in
the navy, and was attached recently to
the Swatara. The only daughter Is the
wife of the principal of Roanoke College,
Virginia.

Mr.. Field is q prominent member Of
the Baptist denomination, and takes

mOcracy has outlived Its usefulness. So
1t is with the Republicans. The caucus
has taken possession of their representa-
tives in congress, and the two parties
have surrendered whatever of principles
they once claimed to represent. The
war has been ended a quarter Of CEN

commanders fighting their battles over

Sequently is in his sixty.ssveuth year.
A representative Of the WGtchnaGn Wis
tied Mr.. Field at his Virginia home in
Orange county one day this week, and
spent few hours under his hospitsble
roof, south of Washington ninety-seve1f
miles; the picturesque little town of
Gordonsville Is located almost under the
shadows of the sun capped Blue Ridge.
The railroad seems sklllfully to thread
It's way into the town through gorge,
and beautiful valley, with it Its match

upon the vision. A short drive of three
miles on historic dirt pike, over which
Jefferson and Old Hickory staged their
several ways to Washington to assume
the great Office Of president, and the
home of Mr.. Field Is reached.
A REAL VIRGINIA WELCOME.
And such homel A grand old house
set back from the pike on a commanding
eminence, verandahed, shaded and cool,
with the grassy lawns spreading away on
every side. 1t is typical Virginia home,
indeed, a home that is seen nowhere else
on this broad continent, save In the Pied
mont region of the Old Dominion. The
proprietor of this valuable estate, which,
by the way, embraces 1000 acres Of the
choicest land, met the writer at the
threshold-nay, better than that, at the
very gStewsy-and the hearty welcome
every stranger is accorded by these big
hearted people was uttered before our
name or mission was known.
THE FIELD FAMILY.
John Gaven Field Is descended from
English ancestors, who, with propoGsn-
dist emery and rife and compass, blazed
their way when the country was new.
One Of these ancestors, John Field, was
a noted scientist In his day, and was
knighted for his astronomical discoveries.
Cyrus Field, just dead, and Justice
Stephen D. Field, of the United States
supreme court, are lineal descendants Of
the same family as the subject of this
sketch, and 30 was Gen. Charles w.
Field, who distinguished himself as a
division commander In the army Of
northern Virginia.
The Virginia family naturally sided
with the colonies in their struggle for in
dependence, and the name figures prom
inently In the record of the conference
held at Williamsburg to protest against
the oppression Of the mother country.
In both the war Of 1912 and in the
Mexican war of as, the family Of Fields
contributed its quota of distinguished
soldiers, and in the civil war three mem
bers Of the family were slain in combat,
ana Two others were maimed by wounds.
"I'M NOT A GENERAL"

The reports received from the coasts
of Portugal, the British Isles, Nova
Scotia and the North Atlantic sea-
board show great suffering and loss
of life from gales that have swept
those shores. The fury of the winds
was something phenomenal, and at
Hatteras, that region of storms, the
oldest seamen had never encountered
such heavy weather. Several chips
are overdue and tidings of them are
a~nxiousiy awaited. In India waters
there is the report of the loss of a
steamer with q passenger list of over
two hundred, also great loss of life
and property in the interior of West
ern Europe from floods. These life
losses added to the unprecedented
fatality of Influenza in nearly every
quarter of the globe have swelled the
mortality bills for this year to such
an extent that they bid fair to out
number the unusually heavy death
rate of the early months of 1891.

MI. Ebenzer PrOut, the English
critic and theorist, seems to be
even a greater pessimist than
Rubinstein regarding English
musical culture. He recently re.
marked that 'the reason why
they had such a state of things
with regard to the support of good
concerts was that the public was
not educated" "and," he added,
people will not sit down to such,
music as the sonates of Beet
hoven; it is really a case of throw
ing pearls before swine.

brette had one adjusted. Then

SHOT FROM
Attempt Made to Murder Judge Bot.
kin of Kansas.

Judge Rotkin, a relative OF
Joseph Botkin, of this city, appears
to be having a very hard time in
Kansas. There have been several
shooting scrapes growing out of his
decisions and personal matters con-
nected with his administration as
Circuit Judge. An attempt was
made to murder him in ambush
only Yesterday. The following
telegram describes the last affair:
DODGE City, Kan, Jan. s.
Judge Botkin of Seward county was
to hold court at Springfield to-day.
Seward county, before its organiza-
ton, was part of Stephens county.
There is a county seat war on De-
tween Sprir gfeld and Arkalon. A
mob composed of the old Stephens
county faction were determined that
Botkin should not hold court at
Springfield. The sheriff and posse
were on their way to escort the
Judge to his court, when, near the
judges house, they ran into an am-
bush. Sheriff Dunn and Sheriff
elect Ray Guynlan were killed.
One of the deputies is missing. A
Mrs. Larabie ran to Judge Botkins's
noIse and told him of his danger.
He flew over to Arkalon with his
family, He has taken refuge in a
house and his friends are holding
the mob at bay. His friends are
calling on all the able bodied, law
abiding citizens throughout the
country to rally to his support.
