A pathetic story illustrating the re-
markable career of multimillionaire
comes from Chicago where this once
fortunate man has just died pauper
and his body been given over to the
dissecting table. 1t appears that in
the early history of the gold finds at
Tombstone, Arizona, one Edwin
Fields squatted upon what were re-
earded as worthless claims which he
afterwards sold for 5000, 900, resery-
ing the surface, which he sold off IN
town lots for as high as S5, 600 apiece,
and for years his rents amounted to
"a. 900 q month. Then he commenced a
career of extravaganza, and after milk
inp Tombstone dry went to st. Louis,
speculated in grain and lost most OF
his fortune. Then he went to Chicago
where he was speedily reduced to pow
erty and it became with him a ques-
tion of getting enough to eat For II
while he worked at various hotels in
the city as store keeper, seldom re
ceivine more than $14 a month.
Worry and advancing years finally
caused him to succumb. For few
weeks he lay sick at cheap lodging
bouse. He was forcibly carried from
there to the hospital, and from thence
after few days to the poor house
r,hera he died.

graceful manner that the good opinion in
which the people hold him from what has
been told in advance will certainly be inten-
siiled. Earl Ii went to the temporary re-
ceiving vault where the remains of General
Grant rest and with reverent ceremony
placed a wreath on the coffin of his dead
friend, and from there he went to the resi-
dence of colonel Fred Grant to call on Gen
eral Grants widow.
The door of the vault was opened, and the
earl, taking a wreath of smilax, laurel, yell
low and white orchids, which cost 5000, en-
tered the vault, followed only by colonel
Grant and his son, general Porter and an in
terpreter. Then Ii placed the wreath upon
the sarcophagus, bowed and was silent.
Then he spoke of general Grant. He told
the son and grandson Of his great admira-
tion for the general as a man. and the high
esteem in which he had held him as great
soldier and statesman.
Next he asked if it was the usual custom
here to dispose of the dead in the manner

Gen. Grant was to remain there only unit

distinctions, the famous yellow jacket. with
its accompanying ornament, the peacock

temporarily deprived of once because he did
not manage the Chinese-J apanese wal

one of the paler blue which was turned

This was completed by a crimson skirt which
