Edwin Field After Lucky Stroke of For

body Given Awny.

Chicago, Feb. All that was mortal OF
Edwin Fields, who once counted his money
by the millions, lies on dissecting table
at the School of anatomy lie died pau

Demonstrators association The story of
Fields life is one of romance. His career
began in the mining district OF Tombstone,
Arizona. Among others who squatted
upon what were considered worthless
claims when the town was in its infancy
was Fields. He had come to Tombstone
without dollar. When the boom began
the "gllded age" the principal claim owned
by Fields, was on the main lead end early
became desirable property
There were several claimants, however,
and considerable litigation ensued, but
Fields, backed by New York capitalists,
finally won and sold the "gilded age" for
$500, 900 He, however, reserved the sur
face, comprising about 20 acres, and on
this was situated the business part of
Tombstone He sold twenty-foot lots as
high as $4,000 and for years his rents
amounted to over $4,000 a month.
Then commenced a career of extrava-
gance seldom cqualled except by Goal Oil

foolish men, When water In Tombstone
sold for five cents a gallon, Fields took
three baths a day. His personal expendi-
lures averaged no less than 800 "a day.
After milking Tombstone dry, Fields went
to st. Louis to speculate in grain, but he
soon lost the larger portion of his fortune.
Then he came to Chicago and was speed

USEFUL WINTER GOWNS.
(From HarDer'S BaZar)

WoolenS of wide diagonals so lightly
woven that they are not heavy, yet are
of pure soft wool that makes them warm
and pleasant to the touch, are chosen for
useful gowns There are so many ways
of Frightening up black gowns this season
that almost every one chooses these WOOL
gowns In black. When made for woman
of forty or fifty years they are very set
up by vest of gathered taffeta, the
ground of the silk black, the MOWERS pur-
plish-red clover, or roses, or pctunias
blurred and softened in the weaving. The
waist Is a short fitted coat In the back ana
on the sides, with slight fulness pleated
in each seam at the belt-line, and the open
fronts are pointed, then turned back In
revers of the wool stitched only once along
the edge, There are two stocks, one
matching the vest, one of black satin rib
bon with large bow In the back. me
sleeves droop from the top 10 the elbow,
and have narrow cuffs turned back ana
faced with the taffeta or satin, as one
chooses. The full skirt Is untrimmed.
Shades of yellow seen in the nasturtium
are much used in haring collars and vests
of black wool frocks. not only by brunettes
but by blondes. Sometimes yoke OF ecru
lace over yellow satin is preferred to a
vest for more youthful gowns, and the
round waist Is made to hook invisibly on
the left side or In the back stu another
fancy even for every young woman Is
white satin ribbon for a stock with black
dresses, the only color being brooch OF
amethyst amber. topaz, or turquoise. In
this case the front of the waist forms two
large box-pleats separated by length
wise band of white satin ribbon, which
may be crossed at intervals by Insertions
Of creamy guipure lace, or by three or four
rows of gilt ribbon an inch wide.

THE NEW WOMAN.
Senator Proctor Tells How She Can Woo
aud Win.

washington Cor New York WORLDLY
How can the new woman, in this year
of our Lord, 1896. WOO and win the man she
loves?" asked the reporter.
Senator Proctor looked puzzled and a
little anxious.
"Why--er--well"--he murmured CHANGING
towards the door.
First of all, Senator said the reporter
firmly. you must realize the burning inn
portance of this question to the new
woman. This year custom permits her
to take the initiative in affairs of the
heart and upon the successful issue of '96
depends the perpetuation Of the privilege,
If she does not improve the present oppor-
tunity she will not have another chance
for eight years"
II see. | see" said the senator reflect
lively. II will admit that at first the ques-
ton seemed trivial, but upon second thought
begin to appreciate in a measure the
seriousness of the situation, and am glad
you have called my attention to it. So the
new woman and the hour have met at
last? Well--she will rise to the occasion!
Women were born to WOO and win, and
once she assumes the lead In love affairs l
venture to predict a boom in the matri-
monial market, for the men will be power
less to resist. 1t will mean the abolition
of the bachelor-the dawn of superior

who is for the single gold standard is

which it has not fair division of NOM

If this lair division is made, how
ever, all rcformers will support all re-

Both will be voting for money re-

the reforms in which they agree and
give their other reforms much bet

down party prejudice and greed of Of

will secure nothing but defeat. The

not the least prospect of success.
The only thing that will prevent
