Death Of Supreme Justice Field.

Judge Stephen J. Field, cx-ju>tice of
the Supreme Court of the United
States, died in Washington, ID. c.,
Monday morning, at the age OF 50
years. About two weeks before his
death, the judge contracted cold,
which became complicated with
troubles resulting from extreme age
a dispatch of the 9th says Since he
retired from the Supreme Court in
1897, after 81 years of service, his con-
dition has several times alarmed his
friends, but his wonderful vitality has
overcome all the disabilities Of age,
and though feeble OF late years, he
has, since his retirement, enjoyed fair
ly good health. At the time of his re-
trement he had been in bad health for
some time, but his ambition to serve
upon the Supreme bench longer than
Chief Justice Marshall induced him
to refuse retirement, although long
past the legal age, until after his term
had exceeded that Of the first chief
justice.
Judge Field was born in Haddam,
Conn.,, Nov. 4, 1916. He graduated at
Williams College in 1887, standing
first in his class. He studied law
under his brother, David Dudley
Field, and alter his admission to the
bar became a partner in his practice
in New York city. This connection
was severed in 1S4S, and he spent
some time in European travel. In
1919, he came to this coast, and for
several years practiced law in San
Francisco. He afterwards helped to
found Marysville, becoming its first al
cade, and continuing as such until the
organization of the judiciary under
the constitution of the State. He
was member of the first State Legis-
lature of California. In 1857 ne was
elected Judge of the Supreme Court of
his State. On the resignation of
Chief Justice Terry, in 1859. Judge
Field succeeded him, and continued in
office until his appointment to the Su.
preme bench of the United States by
President Lincoln in 1868.
Among the prominent decisions in
which he was concerned, was the IA
nous test-oath" case, in which he
gave the casting vote and wrote the
opinion of the court annuling the va
lidity of the iron-clad obligation.
His dissenting opinion in the legal
tender and confiscation cases, have
also attracted attention to him.
Judge Field was a member of the
Electoral Commission in 1877, and
voted to sustain the popular verdict
for Samuel J. Tilden for President.
In 1880 his name was before the Gin
cinnati convention for the nomination
for the Presidency and he received 65
votes on the first ballot. He received
the degree of LII. d. from William. in
1864 and in 1869 was appointed pro-
lessor of law in the University of Cali
fornia.

A DiubOlicnl Invention.

Details are given of an invention
which fills us with dismay. According
to the account furnished by the in
ventor. his new photographic voice
trumpet magnifes musical and vocal
sounds in such volume as to render
them uncomfortable in room and salts
factorily distinct two miles off. In time
he hopes to extend the stentorophonic
capacity of this terrible trumpet to
thrice that distance. His first idea was
to enable ship captains to converse in a
heavy sea fog Or at night. Now. how
ever, he has realized that by the aid of
his sound magnifier telephones can be
made which will allow political speak
er or professional vocalist to entertain
three or four audiences seated in halls
wide apart at one and the same time.
The power which is thus placed in
the hands Of those who are fond of hear
ing their own voices is nothing short OF
devastating. Imagine again the intlam-
matory effect of debate in the French
chamber being "switched'' on to the
working quarters, or of Sir Ellis Ash
mead Bartlett simultaneously ravishing
the ears of the house of commons and
of demonstration in Hyde park.
Seriously, it is impossible to profess
enthusiasm for an invention calculated
to enhance the dominion of din under
which modern dwellers in cities inces-
sanity groan. London Spectator

Fashions In Baths.

The oft debated question whether the
present generation carries personal
cleanliness to greater length than the
preceding generation did had curious
light thrown upon it at the recent Tin
Plate Workers conference. One VOL
yerhampton manufacturer stated that
not quarter as many portable baths
were made now as formerly, and an
other referred to the fact CT orders for
200 shower baths having been taken by
a traveller in one journey at some past
period, while be supposed that at the
present time q manufacturer did not
sell three slower baths in a year. From
this it would seem that the shower bath
is obsolete and that the fixed bath has
merely superseded the portable one. 1t
would appear, therefore, that the verdict
should rather be that fashion III baths
has changed than that cleanliness came
in with the prevalence Of the fixed bath

and got the commissioners to write
their names upon them, that they might
have souvenir of the occasion. One

names She was astonished that Sir
Wilfrid ard the other Canadian knights
signed their names without the prefix
of Sir bat as she neared Lord Herschel
she felt that things would be different,
for was he not lord high chancellor Of
England!
Her astonishment turned to dismay
when the card again came back, this
time with the single word Herschel.
"Herschel.' she said. "Herschel! Why
doesn't he sign it Lord Herschel?'
In vain it was explained to her that
peers signed only their titles, and that
1T would be very bad form to put Lord
before it. She had been bunkoed and
knew it. In that souvenir today there
