Death of "BrickY Pomeroy.

Marcus Mills Pomeroy, 60, widely known
as Brick Pomeroy, died in Brooklyn, N. Y,
Saturday. He established the La Crosse,
Wis, Democrat, and attracted attention
by his slang whanging style of writing.
He was a copperhead of the most virulent
type. His paper at one time had a circula-
ton of over 100000 and was the scandal
of the Northern loyal North. A great
friendship sprang up between Pomeroy and
BOSS" Tweed of New York, and Pome-
roy went to the metropolis and ran ring
organ. He finally fell from Tweed's favor
and had to flee from New York to escape
arrest. He arrived in Chicago when the
greenback craze of 1873 was at its height.
He started fiat paper which had some
vogue for time, but eventually got back
to La Crosse, and made the Democrat the
organ of the fiat money party. Again he
was in clover. He issued charters to green
back clubs at SO charter, and could hard
lY count the money as fast as it came in.
While he was flush he built $4,000
opera house for La Crosse, which still
stands as a monument to his folly. He
was Monte Cristo while his luck lasted.
This was until the greenback craze subsid-
ed. Thereafter the Democrat languished.
Afterward he sank into merited obscurity;
his journal became "Pomeroy's Advance
Thought" and was the vehicle of all sorts
of vagary. His wife, Louise Poneroy,
became an actress, and won some success
in different parts.

Kate Field Dead.

Miss Kate Field, a widely known, YER
satile and accomplished woman, died May
10 of pneumonia at Honolulu. Miss Field
was born in St. Louis in 1888. Her father,
Joseph M. Field, an actor of English birth
but lof Irish parents, became a success
full newspaper man after he left the stage.
Miss Field was educated in Massachusetts,
and studied music at Florence, Italy,
where she became the warm friend of
Walter Savage Lander, the poet. Miss
Field was at one time New York cores
pondent of the Springfield Republican.
She made her debut on the stage in 1874
at Booths theatre in New York as the in
jured heroine in 1.-THE Gilded Age" Her
success on the stage was not great. She
went to England to study the ways of par
lor entertainers and returned with roper
tory of monologues of dance, song and
personation, which she gave in several
cities. These entertainments were her
business for number of years.
After that Miss Field began her career
as lecturer. She visited Utah and made a
careful study of Mormanism, on which she
was recognized authority. She lectured
also on many other topics, and she wrote
several books of value.
Several years ago she established news
paper at the national capital called skate
Fields Washington" The paper was a
very fine addition to the journalism of the
seat of government. But about year ago
she was compelled to give up her "Wash-
ington" and accept place as special cor
respondent of the Chicago Times Herald,
and it was in the service of that newspaper
that she went to the Hawaiian Islands.
The French government conferred upon
Miss Field the Academic Palm" insti-
tuted to recompense artists and authors.

Died On His steam bicycle.

H. s. Roper, ~, mechanical engineer
of the Roxbury district, died on his wheel
at the New Charles River Bicycle Park at
Cambridge, Mass, Monday. Mr.. Roper
had been engaged for a number of years
perfecting a steam bicycle. He went out
to try his luck on the new Charles River
track, where several professionals are in
training. 1t was proposed that he pace
some of the riders and he willingly agreed.
Tom Butler, one of the riders, had diff
Guilty in keeping within short distance of
the steam wheel, and Mr.. Roper was much
elated. After finishing ahead of Butler,
Mr.. Roper started to speed around the track.
Suddenly the wheel began to wabble and
he fell with it. When the wheel was lifted
from him it started off, and it required four
men TO hold it until the steam was shut off.
The physicians who examined Mr.. Roper's
body state that he died of heart disease oc-
casioned by the excitement.
