MoURNED IN SAN FRANCISCO.
The Gentle Poet Had Many Friends i,
This City.


This City.
Yesterday morning Henry <. Field of
this City received a message by wire from
Buena Park, Chicago, which read as fol-
lows: Eugene died suddenly this morn
ing" Although Eugene Field never lived
in San Francisco and visited California
but once-some two years ago-he was in
no sense a stranger here. His cousin.
Henry K. Field, who had been COM
panion of his boyhood and for whom he
formed close attachment, had long re-
sided here and kept Eugene fairly well
posted on San Francisco topics.
Many newspaper men who knew Eugene
Field intimately when he worked in st.
Joseph, Mo-, and others who knew him in
Kansas City, Denver and Chicago came to
San Francisco, and so the gentle poet had
large circle Of admiring friends in Cali
fornia.
As a young reporter in st. Joseph
Eugene Field did good work, but his real
worth as a writer was not recognized until
he was given wider freedom on the Denver
Tribune. Then the merit of his work re-
ceived recognition, and value beyond the
ordinary was attached to everything that

this morning were Melville E. Stone, Vic
tor f. Lawson and II. II. Kohlsaat. These
gentlemen were given general charge OF
the funeral arrangements, but the obse-
auies will be under the direction of the
Fellowship Club. The funeral will take
place Wednesday and the interment will
be at Graceland.
At Mr.. Field late residence all was con-
fusion and sadness this morning. The
house itself is quaint white frame build
ing, sitting back from the street behind
rows of trees, through which can be
caught a glimpse of the lake. Mr. Field
had moved into this house only a short
time ago. He had fitted up his new dwell
ing with great pride, and it was Just such
a place as one would expect to find the
home of the author OF The Dream Ship
The sudden shock had Frustrated the
whole family. Roswell NJ. Field when
seen this morning was able to say but
little.
"My brothers death was very sudden, VI
he said. mo one expected it. Why. only
last night at u o'clock he sent message
to Kansas City saying that he would be
there later in the week. We never i'm.
agined that MS ailing was any more seri
Gus than his usual attacks of stomach
trouble.
"I think my brothers. death was brought
on by overworking his nervous system
which resulted in total collapse. At the
time OF his death he was at work on The
Love Affairs of Bibliomaniac,' which ap
peared in the Chicago Record. Eugen,
told me short time before his death tha
he thought this his best work, and it wa.
his intention to have published it in bool
form. He was thoroughly wrapped up il
this undertaking and hoped to make it hi
most notable literary effort"

KALIsPELL, NoyT., Nov. AFTER a
session lasting until ? o'clock this morn
ing the local branch OF the American
Railway Union passed resolution TO call
ont the men on the mountain division OF
the Great Northern Railway.
Under the leadership of Roy Goodwin,
erector OF the union, six or eight members
>ook possession OF the roundhouse and
ditched and killed" several engines and
ran several cars into the turntable.
Goodwin and his gang soon got into col
Ision with the police, and six of them
including the leader, were placed under
arrest and will be given hearing to-
morrow. A gang Of men was at once sci
TO work at the turntable and succeeded il
getting trains going again late in the

aunts. He then went to the room of Mr..
Yenowine, who was sleeping in the house,
and aroused him.
When the family reached the bedside
they found that Eugene Field was no
more. His body was lying in an easy,
natural position; the heat of life had not
yet died out, and tranquil, peaceful ex-
preston on his face gave him the appear
ance of having dropped into gentle
slumber. All efforts to arouse him failed,
and DR.. Hedges, who was Immediately
summoned, attributed the death to heart
failure.
Mr.. Field first took to his bed last Thurs
day. Up to yesterday he had expected to
keep his engagement at Kansas City this
evening, but last night he told his brother,
Roswell NJ. Field, to telegraph his inability
to make the trip and that he would be un-
able to give the promised reading in the
Kansas City Auditorium.
Mr.. Field leaves widow and five chill
dren-two daughters and three sons. The
eldest child is Miss May Field, 10 years oi
age, and the youngest is scarcely II months
old.
Among the early callers at the house

chased a coffin of imitation rosewood, with
silver trimmings and a plate bearing the
following: "Aseneth Brockway. Born
October "a, 1911" She was determined to
ole alone and she repeatedly expressed a
wish that an expressman should cart her
body from the house to the cemetery and
bury 1t on the same day of her death She
wanted none of her relatives notified.
Her death was fastened by fall. She
lay alone on the floor for hours before she
was found. Her funeral took place yester-
day afternoon, her wishes respecting it not
being carried out, although the coffin she
purchased years ago was used.

ST. PAUL, MINI, Nov. 4.-According
to g report received at the head
quarters of the Great Northern road
in this city from the divisions
OF that road, but four men-a switching

ago the situation somewhat resembled the
present case
Railway officials maintained up to the
time the road was tied up that there
was no strike.

WEST SUPERIOR, WIS, Nov. 4-From
the outlook in this city among the
members OF the American Railway
Union the prospect OF q strike on the
Eastern Minnesota road, which is the Lake
Superior outlet Of the Great Northern. ID
case there is the least sign OF trou-
bic among the employees OF the
Great Northern, is very good. The union
held q meeting yesterday afternoon, at
which speeches were made showing the
men to be in favor Of standing by the con-
ference committee which was refused an
audience by President Hill.
The Great Northern has more employees
al Superior than at any other point on the
road, except Minneapolis and St. Paul.
4 strike would tie up all the elevator sys-
TENS here. and probably al the hourmiIls.

"AIasl how easily things goiwrong,

"AIasl how easily things gotwrong,
a sigh too much or kiss too long"
But, OF course, the most sensible thing to
do when you find that things have ''gone
wrong" is, instead of sitting down and
moaning or humping over it. to set to
work and see how soon the damage can be
repaired. That axiom holds good in all
the affairs of life no matter how trivial or
OF how great import they may be. The
lesser Ills and worries lead to the larger
ones, and the man who finds hole in his
money sack never loses a moment in get
ting 1t fixed" But why does he do that
with money and yet with other things
OF carelessness that is too utterly sweet for
anything. A rule never exists unless it
has an exception, and one of the excep-
uons to this rule of letting the apparently
small things OF this life slip by unheeded
is S. J. Bailey OF WeaverviIle. Cal, Mr..
Bailey found himself suffering from a
nervous disorder, which when allowed to
have full sway produces the most terrify-
ing Ills that humanity has any knowledge
of, but instead of neglecting to see TO it
he got an efficient remedy at once. He
went right to the specialists at the grand
old HUDSON MEDICAL INSTITUTE
and as soon as he had placed himself in
their hands he had made the first step in
the right direction. As stated above Mr..
Bailey was suffering from what would cer-
tainly have proved terrible malady had
it not been taken hold of promptly. but at
the end of two months this is the cheering
and cheerful letter which he has been able
TO write to the specialists who treated
him:
WEAvERvILLE, CAL, Aug. g, 1895.
Hudson Medical Institute, San Francisco,
Cal: Gentlemen-I will now state that after
two months treatment with you that feel
fully restored TO health, and express my graft.
Iude 10 you Tor your speedy aid. also desire
to say that any person suffering from any ner.
yous disorders would be doing themselves an
injustice not to consult the Hudson Medical
institute without delay. Yours in health,
s. ]. BAILEY.
Straight and right to the point is that
manly expression of thanks and statement
OF truth. And if it stood alone it would be
worthy OF more comment, but the fact is
that many, many people daily sing the
praises OF the great specialists.
E. W. Fowler of Kamela, Or, says: 'T am
feeling as good now as it is possible for man
10 feel"
Robt. Ashurst Jr. of Pinoche: ''Have gained
six pounds since commencing treatment I
would not take $500 to relapse into the state I
was in before"
5. NJ. Hooker of Los Angeles: 81 now feel as
though l am cured and a well man.
1t is pleasing to hear praise OF the good
that you do in this world, and doubtless
the specialists are glad at the great volume
OF testimony which is continually piling
up which shows conclusively that if you
have a durable disease ''YOU CAN BE
CURED MORE CERTAINLY AND
SAFELY at the Hudson Medical Institute
than you can anywhere on earth"
