GX-JTSTICE field DEAD.
Famous Jurist Sucoumbs to an At
tack Of Kidney Disease,
HIS LONG SERVICE ON THE BENCH

Appointed by President Lincoln I'm
1893. lie Served For over Thirty
Years, Exceeding the Torn OF chief
Justice Marshall by Few Months.
washington, April 1O--Justice Ste
phen J. Field, of the United States
supreme court. retired, died at his
home on Capitol Hill, in this city, at
$3.50 O'Clock last evening Of kidney
complications. About his bedside were
his wife and her sister, Mrs. j. Coudit
Smith. Mr. Justice David J. Brewer,
his nephew, Mrs. Edgerton OF Cali
fornia, MIR. Linton, his private secre-
tary, Rev. Edward NJ. Mott, rector Jf
the Church OF the Advent, and the
family servants. He had been uncon-
scious since Saturday morning, and
death came painlessly. Ever since
Justice Field retirement from the su-
preme court bench on Dec. 1, 1897, he
had enjoyed comparatively good
health, and being relieved from the
responsibilities which he had borne
for so many years he became more
cheerful than formerly, and seemed to
enjoy the society of his friends and
acQuaintances more than ever before.
All during the winter, when the
weather was fair, it was his custom to
take daily drives about the city or
through the grounds of the Soldiers
Home, and always returned refreshed.
About two weeks ago, however, he
took a longer ride than usual in an
open carriage and contracted a severe
cold, which rapidly developed the kid
ney troubles from which he had suf-
fered, though but slightly, for some
time. The disease readily yielded to
treatment, and on Thursday last he
sat up for a time and seemed quite
himself again, but on Saturday morn
ing a change for the worse took place,
and about noon he lost consciousness.
From that time he sank rapidly.
No arrangements have yet been
made for the funeral, nor is it now
known where he will be buried. 1t is

The fact is, almost everybody has a
weak spot somewhere. Death and dis
ease are always looking for weak spots
If your stomach or your liver won't do
its proper work, if your body fails to
get its full nourishment from the food
you eat, and your brain loses part Of the
sleep it ought to have, no matter how big
your frame and muscular your limbs may
be, you will give out; disease will find the
weak spot, and nature will give way.
