KATE FIELD is DEAD.
Famous Newspaper Woman was
Stricken with Pneumonia
in Hawaii.

Chicago, ILL.,, June IA message from
ex-Minister Thurston announces that
Kate Field, special correspondent of the
Timas-H Herald, died at Honolulu, Hawaii,
on May 10 of pneumonia.
With the death of Miss Field ends the
career of perhaps the most unique wom-
an the present century has produced.
She was born in st. Louis of well-to-do
parents fifty-odd years ago. but left
home at an early age to fit herself fer
her life work.
Miss Fields Career.
When child Miss Field became a
protege of Walter Savage Landor who
gave her lessons in Latin and at his
death left her valuable portfolio of
drawings which Miss Field had in her
possession up to a year ago. As she gave
promise of great future Miss Field
was at an early age sent to Boston to
complete her education. From there she
went to Florence Italy. where she per-
fected herself in music and modern Ian
guages and became an intimate friend
of George Eliot. She studied music I'M
der Garcia and under William Shake
speare, the noted English tenor, and at
one time decided upon stage career.
In fact. she was on the stage for Il
time, appearing as an actress at Booth
thcater in New York, where she won
praise. After a short season on the
stage she forsook it for the editorial
chair and the lecture platform.
In Miss Field art had one of it's most
able champions. She was the leading
spirit of the National Art association.
Kate Fields Washington was a paper
characteristic of its owner. and when it
suspended publication in 1895 it marked
the failing health in the woman who
dared to brave Congress and direct that
bodys attention to matters which had
until then been kept in the dark.
Known by All Writers.
Miss Field was well known by all
writer's of prominence, and one of them,
in writing of her some years ago, said:
"When one speaks of unique women
one thinks instinctively of Kate Field.
picturesque characters of the day. There
is scarcely anything this lady has not
turned her hand to-the stage. the shop,
the lecture platform. the writing desk,
and now the editors chair. She under
stands politics much better than most
men; she proved more of Il power against
MoImonsm than all the laws enacted
against this hideous stain upon our gov
ernment She was Il splendid drummer
for the California wine companies, and
| am sure she could conduct post
mortem or preach from any text quite
as well as the average doctor of medi-
cine or divinity.
Among her published works which
have attracted the most attention are
''Planchette's Diary" ''Adalaide Ris-
graphs from Charles Dickens Read

Spain" and History of Bells Tele-

More Fallacies.

IN conversation with man recently
who favored the gold standard and the
election of Mckinley, "to crush out an
archy and repudiation," as he express
ed it, we were much surprised to hear
him say that in the event of the
success of the silver party in Novem-
ber, anybody could buy silver for SO
cents per 4124 grains and have it coined
into dollars, stamped bN the govern
ment, thus making nearly AZ cents by
the operation. He practically admit
ted that the dollar he received from
the government would be worth one
hundred cents in purchasing power,
else how could he make AZ cents. He
also destroyed his argument relating to
SO cent dollars. Going on with his sill
yer argument he said that John Bull
to us and have it coined into dollars by
our government. Yes, that is true, but
what will Johnny do with them when
he gets them? He has no use for them
in his own country; even now our sill
yer dollars are only good over there in
small transactions and then minus an
eXtortionate exchange rate, charged by
the brokers. Therefore, the only
alternative is for him to buy our goods
and chattels, invest in our enterprises,
increase the uses to which money can
be put advantageously and benefit the
country thereby. Great Britain needs
her silver as coin, also, it must be re-
membered, and so does India, which
produces England's supply. No nation
having good paying securities and in
vestments in nanothercountry, especially
one of so much importance and with
SO many sources of prosperity open to
proper means as the United States,
will cancel them and give others
chance to get at them. All such ideas
are ol-de-rol and nonsensical and re-
main cultivated only in the minds of
those who favor the maintainance of
the single gold standard.

SILVER PICNIC AND TOUR
NAMENT.
To Be Held To-Day in Manor
Woods, Near BuckeystOWn-
Everybody Invited.

The campaign in Frederick County
will be formally opened to-day at Man
or Woods, near Buckeystown Station,
b. g. o. Railroad, at a Silver Picnic
and Tournament and grand Democratic
Rally.
The fitting of the gallant knights
Will begin at 10 o'clock sharp, and after
this comes the addresses, which will
be delivered by some very able and elo-
quent orators, including Hon. Blair
Lee, of Montgomery County, our can
dIdate for Congress from the Sixth
District; Gen. Eppa Hutton, of Vir-
ginia; Hon. Oliver {. Sabine, of Neb-
raska, VIM. p. MaulsDy and HI. Dor
sey EtchisOn, of Frederick, and others
whose names we cannot now learn.
After the speeches are over dancing
on q fine platform will be the order of
events, and this pleasant amusement
will be kept up till ten O'Clock in the
evening. A good orchestra and sew
eral brass bands will be on hand and
no dearth of music will be experienced.
The general committee, under whose
direction the picnic is being held, are
Messrs William J. Grove, Howard AL
mutt and II. Claude Dutrow. These
bring about this interesting event, and
with the cooperation of the people who
want to hear the issues of the day put
before them in plain straightforward
manner, hope for an unbounded sue
cess. Ali should turn out and give
royal welcome to our nominee for Con-
gress and the others who are to appear.
The Democrats of Frederick County
are united on the platform of their par
~ and should show in manner
part of their strength on Friday. If
you can go for the entire day, do so.
Take your families, even the wee little
tots. Drive over in the afternoon, if
you cannot get of in the morning and
show by your presence the interest you
take in this important campaign. 1t
is the peoples fight and they must
come to the front in review. As on the
eve of an important battle, the general
reviews his troops, so in like manner
all Democrats should stand up boldly
for the true principles Of their creed
and prove their willingness to follow
their leaders through the smoke aud
din of conflict to glorious victory be-
yOnd.

Our Registration.

The delay in registration in many
Gases is owing to the poor facilities
which the registrars have at their
places of registration. In many cases
it took three minutes to register one
voter, and men were compelled to wait
for hours in the long line before their
turn for registration arrived. No doubt
many will become disgusted at the
long waits, but they must bear in mind
that no one can vote this fall who does
not register, This is the new Republi-
can law and will be attended with
great trouble to the people as well as
considerable expense to the county.
Every Democrat should make up his
mind to register at the next sitting of
the registrars, Do not put it off for the
last day. See that your Democratic
neighbors are informed of the fact that
this is a new registration and that
every voter must register
