MARSHAL FIELD GIVES MILLION
To Found n Museum and School OF Natural
History in Chtcnro.

CHICAGO. oct. 27.-Mr. James W. Ellsworth
ono OF the committee appointed recently to
canvass the town In the interests OF tho pro-
posed Columbian Museum and School OF Natu-
raj History. called on Marshal Field the mil
lionaire merchant, on Tuesday. and asked him
to subscribe to the project. Mr.. Field asked
for time to consider tho matter. and made an
appointment at tho Chicago Club for Thurs
day. Last night he met Mr.. Ellsworth and
other Influential citizens there.
Il have thought the matter ovor." said Mr.
Field. In his deliberate way. and will give
Sl.0o0Oo0 to found museum OF natural his
tory"
The amount OF the contribution fairly as
founded tho committee. Mr.. Field imposed
several minor conditions. all Of which will be
easily carried out. He will give 1000. 900.
provided $4,000 Is subscribed By other Chi
cago citizens. He also asks that the holders OF
Worlds Fair stock contribute s2.00O.00O Of
their holdings and. as q starter. he himself
contributes 500 600 block ofstock As soon
as George NJ. Pullman heard Of Mr.. Fields
offer he subscribed 100000. and tho rest OF
the 100000 required will be raised probably
within week.
1t has been decided to retain the art palace
OF the Worlds Fair grounds as . permanent
building for the museum. A process has been
discovered by which the staff work on the
structure. by the application OF q glass paint
can be made indestructible and i'm pervious to
water. There 10 material enough on the Fair
grounds to start one Of the most complete
museums ever organized. The department
OF ethnology under Prof. Putnam. prior
to the opening Of the Fair. secured
tho world for ouriosities. and the collection.
which is the property OF the Fair Is worth
nearly 100000. This will be presented to tho
museum. Ed L. Aver. the millionaire railroad
tie contractor. has collection OF North Amer
lean Indian relics In the chronological build
ing valued at S75.0 600. which will be presented
to the museum. Most OF the rare woods in the
forestry building valued at many thousands OF
dollars will DO given to the museum. BY next
spring the big art palace will be filled with q
collection that will be Of exceeding value to
Chicagoans. 1t 10 probable that the name will
be changed from Columbian Museum to tho
Field Museum OF Natural History.
1t is not known definitely what amount will
be realized from the subscription stock Of the
Exposition. but the directors believe that 80
Der cent Of the capital stock at least will be
returned to the subscribers.
