A REMARKABLE FAMILY.

The Field family is one of the most
distinguished known to American his
tory. People speak of the famous
quartette and forget that it represents
less than half of that remarkable brood
brought up by the good old clergyman,
DR.. ID. D. Field, in the valleys of the
Housatonic and the Connecticut
David Dudley, the eldest son, was
one of the most finished lawyers of the
world As a codifier and law-giver he
was a worthy successor Of Scion ard
Justinian, and as an advocate and
counselor he had no superior of his
time.
The second son was Timothy. a hero
of the sea whose untimely death cut
only be surmised by comparison with
the success of his brothers, each in his
chosen line. As midshiDman under
Decatur in the Mediterranean he was
known for his gallantry and noted Gar
his daring.
The third son, Stephen Johnson,
whose death was announced in yester-
days dispatches, was an eminent
jurist, having occupied the bench of
the supreme court of the United States
for the unprecedented term of thirty
four years and six months
The achievements of Cyrus West, the
fourth son, are TOO many and too well
known to warrant their enumeration at
this time Conspicuous among them
was the laying Of the Atlantic cable.
Matthew Field was an engineer Of
note and a builder of large suspension
bridges. Before the civil war he was
prominent in the south and afterwards
he returned TO Massachusetts, where
he served in the state senate until his
death in 1870.

HIS CHECKERED CAREER.

Ex-senator Tabor died yesterday at
Denver. His was a varied career A
Yankee by birth, he was a stonecutter
in Vermont, a member Of the legisla-
ture in Kansas, d miner in Leadville, a
United States senator at Washington.
and postmaster Of Denver at the time
Of his last illness.
Al one time he was the richest man
in Colorado. the dwelling place of so
many miilionaires; but his immense
fortune dWindled down to nothing in
the last few years. 1t was the irony of
fate that in the city he had built and
beautified and enriched in many ways,
he was at work as a federal appointee
when the end came.
Tabor was kind, but rough man,
lucky and careless. energetic, but with
out business sagacity. In mines he
was peculiarly fortunate, but other in
vestments We're his ruin.
There is one blot on his career which
his best friends would not excuse. When
he was poor man, struggling Tor
start. trudging through the mountains
working with a pick ana shovel, his
wife was running a little store and
keeping the postofice to supply him
with the necessities Of life. BY the
work of her hands she grubstaked him
while he sought his fortune.
In time he found it. 1t came all at
once. He was a millionaire almost be-
fore he knew it. And he turned his
back upon the wife of his youth. The
companion Of his poverty was aban-
doned in his prosperity. She had grown
urinAled and bent with hard work and
he was ashamed of her. He forgot that
her youth had faded in the service of
adversely He went to an obscure town
in the state and applied for a divorce.
The case was brought TO light and the
woman was awarded a portion of his
property. She kept it tin her dying
day four years ago, and left it 10 his
son. The father left him nothing.
Immediately after divorcing his first
wife Tabor married the woman who
now survives him. But. like Napoleon,
his downfall began from the day he
discarded his Josephine One bad in
vestment followed another. Disasters
trod on each others heels. 1t was a
big undertaking to sweep away that
fortune. with mines repienishing it all
the time, but fate swept the last dollar
OF 1t away.
Men who knew the circumstances
and who afterward pitied Tabor in his
need Iolled upon it as poetic retribu-
ton.
He was not a great man in any sense
EXCEPT in public spirit and perhaps that
came more from a desire to spend his
money ostentatiously than from any
higher or worthier motives.

SOMETHING MUST BE DONE.

Chairman Hanna would better take
a day off and investigate party feeling
in Chicago. Time spent on Jekyll is
land laying plans for McKinley's re-
nomination is time wasted, when Roose-
Welt is receiving ovations in former
Mckinley strongholds.
If Teddy would consent to take sec
ond place on the ticket Hobart might
be sacrificed and the Hanna rule re-
main unbrolzen But the rough rider
refuses to take a back seat for anybody
and viii be a candidate for first place
or nothing.
1t is therefore significant to watch
his triumphant entry into the original
hotbed of rampant McKinleyism, where
Ayers food for soldiers is canned and
cadavers are embalmed for army ra-
lions.
At every street crossing the gallant
governor Of the Platt-Croker empire
was compelled to SAY few words. 3"
The dispatch says further:
From the moment Governor Roose-
welt left his car at the Lake Shore
oSpot' where He was mt W dH eSCOi L
Of eight rough riders, to the doors Of
his hotel, he was surrounded and fol-
lowed by crowds, who cheered him
every time he moved, and shook his
hand till the governor was forced to
desist from sheer exhaustion
Last night he spoke at the Audito-
rum. The street was thronged and an
ovation greeted every step of the way
from his hotel to the theatre. All Chi
eago has been bowling itself hoarse
for Roosevelt. The cheering has been
incessant for twenty-four hours.
What IS Mr.. Mckinley going to do to
counteract it?

The Man From 11-Worth.
Denver Republican.N

-. P. Ferguson. 11-Worth KAN -
was the name as it stood on the hotel
register. The enterprising ne zath-
erer stopped his finger as he ran over
the list OF Names.
''11-Worth, Kan" Where is the wag
that put that DOWN." this latter to the
clerk across the counter.
That's hin1-with the paper"
The gatherer of news crossed the hall
to accost the cheerful humorist He
was thinking of many jovial things to
say.
He planted himself before the gentle
man. Can you tell me where Eleven
worth is?" he asked, addressing the
arms and legs that stuck out from the
outspread paper. L see you come from
Kansas"
The paper remained unmoved.
It's a new town, suppose" he went
on, not in the least disconnected by the
silence. Boom, isn't it? Product of
the newly arrived prosperity. People
here would be glad to hear about that -
The questioned still remained hidden
behind the extended pages. 1t required
an extra effort on the part of the re-
porter to question the third time. His
professional dander was up and he went
at it again.

rising town, / have no doubt" he pro-
ceeded, bit tickled himself at the pun

But it didn't feaze the gentleman in
the chair.

on it.

COMMON CouRTESlES.


No one can be more polite than the
old-time southern darkey. But the new
negro, the one who irpagines the four
teenth amendment is the only part of
the federal constitution worth observ-
ing, is prone to magnify his position
and overdo his privileges.
William E. Curtis, writing to the
Chicago Record from Washington, gives
an Illustration of this.
There should be a department of
department and politeness at the
Hampton institute for colored students.
While 1 was at Old Point Comfort re-
Gently [ rode about great deal in the
trolley cars, and noticed, as other peo-
pie who go down there always do, that
the Hampton students never offered
their seats in the cars to women. One
day we were returning from a visit to
Hampton, and the car which starts
near the school was filled with colored
boys 10 or 20 years of age, all wearing
the uniform of the institution. AS the
car ran along women began to get in
old and young, black and white-but
not one of the youths had the polite
ness to offer them a seat, and we wit
messed the rather extraordinary spec
tacle of ten or twelve robust young
men sitting comfortably and ten or
twelve women standing and clinging to
the. straps. I asked a boy nearest to me
why he did not give his seat to one of
the women. He made no reply, but a
companion, who also kept his seat, re-
torted: We pay just as much fare as
they
Il noticed the same thing frequently
afterward. When women entered the
car white and colored men would al
ways rise if necessary and offer their
seats, but the Hampton students never
did so, and lady living at that place,
to whom l made the observation one
day, told me the reason. She said the
pupils at Hampton were taught that
they We're as good as anybody. and that
they were entitled to all the rights and
privileges of citizens of the United
States, regardless of their color, and it
would be a confession of their inferior
ity if they surrendered their seats.''
1t never occurred to them that a little
politeness would have demonstrated
all the more clearly their right to the
recognition accorded them under the
law. Men who are too exacting of what
is conceded to be their rights or who
make their independence offensive
never succeed so we'll as those who
believe in politeness and consideration
of their fellow beings.
The teachers at Hampton are over
doing the personal rights doctrine while
neglecting to- teach the lesson of COM
mon courtesy.

Golf Trophy From Russian Duke.
Hondon LetterO

Golf continues to be the rage at Cannes,
and Miss Lillian Aitken has succeeded in
capturing two very beautiful and expens-
i've prizes as souvenirs of her skill. One
of them was presented as a gold trophy
by Grand Duke Michael of Russia and
consisted of a magnificent tea service
enameled in gold Similar sets are de-
signed and manufactured only in Moscow
and there only in a sinG.e factory. and are
sold to none but the members of the Rus
sian imperial family. So Miss Aitken is
a very fortunate as well as proficient
young woman. She is a daughter of the
English chaplain at Cannes. Last year.
during the visit of the duchess at AL
bany, Mr. Aitken superintendent the prep
aration Of the Princess Alice of Albany
for confirmation and in September he
was invited, accompanied by his wife and
daughter Lillian, to stay same time at
CIaremont. The Duchess of Albany there
presented her guest with a lovely min
iature of her little daughter the small
pupil who had proved herself so. bright
and intelligent some months previously at
Cannes. The princess name and the date
OF her confirmation We're engraved ON the
reverse of the miniature.

WHAT EXCUSE NOW?


Now that it has been proved beyond
the question of doubt that United
States soldiers were poisoned by chemi-
Gals in their food during the recent
war with Spain, what are the people go
ing to do about it? What can they do
Probably nothing just now, but the ad-
ministration ought to be rebuked at the
polls next election. Unless all signs fai
it will be-
In the meantime what is the admins,
tration going to do to cover up its in
fanny? 1t will have to do something
The record is very black 1t viii tax
the ingenuity of Republican leaders tc
furnish plausible excuses for Mckinley
and Alger Hanna has given it up as q
bad job. For while he laughed it off
ami said things like that are for po-
litical effect
He doesn't say that now. There. is 10
longer any room for lodging. The
chemical compound was in the beef.
Chemists found it. Contractors used it.
Embalmers prepared it. Alexander
Powell has admitted treating Armour's
meat in this way.
What will the administration say
now? What new excuse win Mr.. Nc
Kinley offer? Perhaps he will declare,
as Hanna has, that he kept no track of
Alger, and that the secretary acted
without his knowledge or consent. But
Mr.. Hanna says that the president con-
suited with Hanna two or three times
a day all through the war.
What else can the president set up
as a defense? That he and Alger didn' t
know chemicals in beef would poison
the soldiers? Surely not, for the ad-
mintstration was repeatedly warned
against chemically prepared meats
In September, 1897, only few months
before the war, w. Clark Marshall.
retired meat packer of Chicago, wrote
to Secretary Alger about the dangers
that lurl1 in canned meats. The doc
ument is on file with department en-
dorsaments upon it. \ curt reply was
sent Mr.. Marshall which really meant
that he should mind his own bust
ness
A year later, when the soldiers were
dying like sheep in camp, MI Marshall
wrote the war department again, call
ing attention to the poisonous proclivi-
ties of chemical beef This communica-
ton also was put through the red tape
routine of the war department, and
officially endorsed by Generals Eagan
and Sternberg.
The letter was returned to the writer
with the surgeon generals report that
this man. had added nothing to his
communication of the year previous.
In Chicago the war investigation COM
mission refused to receive Mr.. Marshall
as a. witness He accordingly appealed
to the president, and some weeks later
received word from the commission,
calling for information under conditions
that Mr. Marshall. so he says, found it
impossible to comply with
The present commission has vindicat-
ed him, and exposed the selfish Grimm
ality of the war department in buying
poisoned meat after being warned of
its effects upon the men.
So what explanation can the admin
isSration make? 1t was warned. It has
lied about the contracts. 1t has re-
warded Eagan, the principal. and
shielded Algez', the accessory to the
crime Mckinley has been hailed as a
hero while his methods have been de-
nounced from sea TO sea.
How long do the people expect to put
UP with such work?
