The resignation at Mr.. Justice Field
from the bench OF the United States su-
preme court, while not unexpected, Is Of
more than passing interest for more rea-
sons than one. Justice Fields long judi
cial career, embracing more than forty
years OF continuous service on the SUI
preme benches of California and the
United States, has been a record Of
honr, marking him as one OF the most
distinguished jurists this country has
produced. His own resume of his judi
cial life, In the letter addressed to his
colleagues on the bench, but modesty de-
tails the part he has taken In the his
tory Of the government since his APP
pontment by President lincoln, In 1853.
1t covers the period of the most stirring
events in American history, during
which the supreme court bore an i'm
portant part. Throughout 1t all Justice
Field was winning for himself record
as only man of honor, of ability and
fairness could win as member OF the
supreme judicial body of this great coun-
try, and it's most honorable court OF last
resort. He retires honored by all men
and in private life will be no less be-
loved than he has been on the bench.
His fellow countrymen will unite in wish
ing him many years of peaceful life In
the rest he has earned for himself.
Justice Fields retirement also recalls
the fact that he is the last of three
brothers, each of whom won great dis
tinction in the career marked out for
himself. The inestimable service Of
Cyrus W. Field to civilization and pro-
gres5 in the conception and successful
promotion of the Atlantic cable, made
him famous and won him place In his
tory beside the greatest OF those who
have achieved fame in all the centuries.
David Dudley Field, the great theolo-
gian, whose contribution to the general
progress of the age, was another br 'ther
to the only survivor, and when the latter
passes away there will be none left 10
perpetuate the family, for not one of
these great characters will be survived
by children.
Interest Is also taken In the retirement
of Justice Field because Of the posi-
blllties of cabinet changes as result,
1t being pretty generally understood that
Attorney General McKenna will be APP
pointed to succeed him. 1t may be filled
by direct appointment outside the cab-
net, however and In such case no fur
Their changes in the cabinet would neces-
sarlly occur Judge Golf is the subject
OF many speculations in this connection,
but it must be remembered that the
judge declined this position in the cabI-
net last spring and 1t Is not probable that
he would accept 1t now. He has fond
ness for the bench and is understood to
be aversa to accepting an honor at the
hands OF the President outside of the
judiciary.
The possibility Of Judge Golf being Of
fered the vacancy on the supreme bench
has also been discussed, though 1t is
thought that Judge McKenna's appoint
ment would be dictated by the desire OF
the President to fill the place with Pa
clflc coast man. This and other clrcum-
stances familiar to the public cause the
general impression that Judge McKenna
has already been fixed upon.

They dragged him from his dungeon
At dawning OF the day,
And out between the soldiers,
Drawn up In wars array.

They dragged him from his dungeon
AT dawning OF the day,
And out between the soldiers,
Drawn up in wars array,
They bound his eyes IN darkness
And faced him TO he wall
OF an old deserted convent
The brayest heart OF all.
The captain gave his orders.
And Ready" was the word;
The fearless young insurgent,
unhlnching, calmly heard,
Then shouted forth his challenge:
20, God, make Cuba free!"
And "Aim!" the captain ordered
with voice of villainy.
When, 10! before the captive
A secret door swings wide,
And In the narrow passage
Behold the Cuban's bride.
She looked a saint, and lifted
Her eyes unto the sky,
lmploring aid, and whispered;
"Murillo, 1t is |.
And in moment led him
ilNO tnt rum gray
And shut the door behind her,
And bore her lover away.
Like marble stood the soldiers
Like stone the captain stood
Their faces white with terror
And icy cold their blood
"a miracle for Cuba!'
At last their lips decrced.
"The Virgin fights for Cuba!"
As witness this. her deed"
That night score OF Spanlards
Deserted to the Cause,
And they will fight for freedom
With neither stint nor pause.
And they will leave their bodies
Where battle may decree,
And dying bless the Virgin
Who tolls for Cuba Free.

There have heen rumOrs Tor n long
time to the effect that the late Secretary
of State William Il. Chiffon, was short
In his accounts. The matter has now
gotten Into the newspapers. and It is
stated that the amount IS from $4,000 to
$4,000. Mr.. Chiffon ts out In n card In
which he says the amount due the state
Is less than the sums named, and he also
states that he is not a defaulter, but in
settling up accounts he finds he is indebt-
ed to the office certain sum. He de-
clares that the state will not lose dollar
and If he is given little time he will be
able to pay every cent due. The office
OF the secretary of state has evidently
been conducted very loosely.-Shepherd-

The trial OF Mrs. G. W. Atkinson. for

more persecution than prosecution in the
