lief from utter encouragement. She

and doctored for n long time, not see
ing any improvement. AT times 1
would feel well enough, and other
times was miserable. So it went on
until last October, | felt something
terrible creeping over me, | knew not
what, but kept getting worse. can
hardly explain my feelings at that
time was SO depressed in spirits
that l did not wish to live although
had everything to live for. Had hys-
terra, was very nervous; could not
sleep and was not safe to be left
alone.
Indeed, thought l would lose my
mind. No one knows what endured.
i continued this way until the last
OF February, when l saw in paper a
testimonial of lady whose case was
similar to mine, and who had been
cured by Lydia +. Pinkham's vegeta-
BILE Compound. | determined to try it,
and felt better after the first dose.
continued taking it, and to-day am a.
well woman, and can say from nv
heart, THANK God for such a medi-
cine"

to prevent their crossing when we drove
them in that direction.
But the Filpinos showed themselves foxy
for once, by sinking two cascoes in the
river and thus stopping the gunboat's pas
sage. This was a good move on their part,
as it was virtually their only chance to
escape.
The Nebraska boys then returned to camp
very much fatigued and with deep regrets
at the loss of the killed and wounded, more
so, as they were not hurt until the fight

Justice Fields retirement from the su-
preme court bench occurred December 1,
! 1897, and Attorney General McKenna of Cal
| fornia shortly afterward was nominated to
succeed him. He rendered his resignation
in April, 1897, to take effect December /.
The president in his letter of acceptance of
| the resignation wrote
Upon your retirement both the bench and
the country will sustain great loss, but
| the high character and great ability of your
work will live and be long remembered, not

new empire had arisen in the west, whose
laws were those of another country The
lands titles were from Spanish and Mex
ican grants, both Of which were often over
laid by the claims of the first settlers. To
bring order out of this confusion congress
passed act providing for another seat
on this bench, with the intention that it
should be filled by some one familiar with
these conflicting titles and with the mining
laws of the coast and, as it SO happened that
had framed the principal of these laws
and was, moreover chief justice of Cali
fornia, it was the wish of the senators and
representatives Of that state as well as those
from Oregon that should succeed to the
new position. At i cir request Mr.. Lincoln
sent my name to TIE senate and the NOM
ination was unanimously confirmed.
Number of Cases Decided.
During his incumbency he said he alone
had written $40 opinions, which, with fifty
seven in the circuit and 365 in the California
supreme court, made up total of ,042 cases
decided by him in his life.
He took issue with the styling of the
court as an aristocratic feature of the re-
publican government and said it was the
most democratic of all. at carries" he
wrote, neither the purse nor the sword,
but it possesses the power of declaring the
law and in that is found the safeguard
which keeps the whole mighty fabric of
government from rushing to destruction"
The court replied in very feeling letter
and later called in a body and bade the re-
tiring justice farewell Since his retire
ment he had lived quietly in his old home
facing the eastern section of the capitol

self for the congressional directory gave
TINS brief outline of the duties of his Of
flee of alcalde: Under Mexican law the
alcalde was an officer of limited jurisdic-
tion but in the anomalous condition of
aifairs he was called upon to administer
justice, punish crime and to enforce police
regulations until relieved by officers under
the new constitution. He was elected a
member of the first legislature of the state
and was made a member of that body He
was influential in securing legislation favor
able to the miners and aided in the passage
Of laws regulating the civil and criminal
procedure of the state. AT the close of the
session he returned to Marysville and de-
voted six years to the practice of his pro-
fession. He was elected judge of the su-
preme court Of California in 1857, for the
term of six years. In 1859 he became chief
justice, succeeding Chief Justice David S.
Terry. In 1868 President Lincoln appointed
him associate justice of the supreme court
of the United States and he held that po-
sition until his retirement on December l.
1897.
During the latter years of his service
on the bench he was in very feeble health
His term was the longest in the history of
that tribunal. The great chief justice, John
Marshall, wore the ermine for a period ex-
tending over thrtyfour years 1t was the
ambition of the late Justice Field to sur
pass this record and he succeeded in doing
so by few months. His friends, fearing
that the strain of hard work would shorten
his useful life advised him TO retire from
his arduous duties. But with indefatlgable
perseverance he clung to his task until the
latter part Of 1897, when he had the sat
isfacton of having fulfilled the ambition of
his life.
During that term Of more than a third of
