Mr.. Chipchase to seize him by both
ankles. In spite, however, of this han
dicap Mr.. Barton-Wright succeeded
in eXtricating himself and throwing
his opponent instantaneOusly. He then
allowed himself to be seized from be-
hind, with his arms pinioned to his
side, but again he threw his opponent
at once upon his back. Perhaps his
most remarkable feat was to allow
the English amateur champion, stand
ing with his back to him, to reach over
his shoulders and seize him by the
neck and head, and with this hold
throw him right over his head. But
while In the air Mr.. Barton Wright
grasped Mr.. Chipchase in some way,
which, owing to the speed with which
it was performed, 1t was impossible
for the eye to follow, and although ap-
parently thrown himself he had, by the
time he reached the ground, thrown
his opponent and was kneeling over
him! Many other feats just as extra
ordinary were also performed on this
occasion, apparently without an effort.
Mr.. Chipchases opinion as an expert
may not be uninteresting. He says
"In spite Of my being a much heavier
man than Mr.. Barton-Wright, his sys-
TEN of defense and retaliation is so
much more scientific than my style
that, when practicing with him, how
ever great may be my determination
to remain firm on my legs and to keep
my balance, my efforts are invariably
frustrated and l am ignominiously
thrown. Mere strength has no chance
of withstanding the science of this new
art"
Some of Mr.. Barton-Wright's new
methods of defense are explained by
him as follows: Here is an excellent
method of forcing an undesirable per-
son out of your room. 1t will be found
particularly useful in case he should
attempt to strike you. You seize your
opponent by the left wrist or left hand
with your left hand, raising your right
hand to guard your face from a blow.
Pull him towards you with your left
arm, without altering the position Of
your legs. Then turn upon your heels
and pass your right arm over his left
upper arm.
You then pass your right hand under
his left forearm, and lock his arm by
seizing your own wrist. Finally, by
strengthening both your arms, you are
able to exert such leverage and to

the interior arrangement for convent

course there are a few who "live for

who do not care about the arrange
ment, "just SO it looks nice and attrac-

consideration, the exterior receiving

Boston Mayors Suggestion.

Mayor Quincy, of Boston, has sug-
gested that the city should build a
municipal crematory in which to in
cinerate the bodies of paupers, crimi-
nails and others whose burial devolves
upon the city. The idea is to do away
altogether with the potter's field. 1t
is asserted that the city could cremate
bodies at a cost of only 81 each, while
it costs So to dig grave. The present
potter's field will be filled before the
expiration Of the present year. The
burials now amount to about 500 a
year. and increase in number yearly.

LIFE STORY OF STEPHEN J.FIELD
One of Americas Greatest Jurists and
One of a Great Family.

The death of Justice Stephen ]. Field
at his home in Washington removed
one of the most celebrated jurists in
American history, and left but one Of
the great quartette of Field brothers,
who made themselves world-famous.
No other American family, with the
possible exception of the Beechers, has
attained such distinction. Stephen j.
broke the record for length of service
on the bench of the United States Su-
preme Court, and was one Of the ablest
masters of jurisprudence that ever sat
in that august body. David Dudley, the
oldest of the brothers, won information
al fame as a constitutional lawyer.
Cyrus w., by laying the Atlantic cable,
gained for himself the title Of "The
Columbus of Modern Times" Henry
NJ, the only surviving brother, Is
known to all civilization as preacher,
author, journalist and traveller.
Stephen was born eighty-three years
ago at Haddam, Conn, and with his
sister Emilia, the wife Of missionary,
went W Oily ria, ASIA hlluOl, dI lue uSe
of 10, to study European languages.
He returned two years later with a
fairly comprehensive knowledge Of
Turkish, Greek, Latin and French. He
then entered Williams College and
graduated in 1887 with the highest
honors of his class. David Dudley, the
oldest brother of the family, was prac-
ticing law in New York, and Stephen,
Immediately afterhis graduation, began
to study for the legal profession in his
brothers. office. On being admitted to
the bar he became his brothers part
ner and remained in the firm till 1S4S,
when he retired to make tour of Eu-
rope. He spent one year abroad and
returned to find the whole country
wild with excitement over the fabulous
discoveries of gold in California. He
Immediately sailed for San Francisco,
not to dig for gold, but to practice law.
When he arrived in the city of the
Golden Gate he was almost out of mon

TO DEFEND YOURSELF.
An Athletic Englishman Has Num-
Der of New Ideas.


E. w. Barton Wright is an English
man who has introduced some new
features of the art of self-defense.
Mr. BartonWright's extraordinary re-
source in meeting every imaginable
kind of attack was eXemplitied in
most remarkable manner at perform
ance before several accredited wit
nesses, which took place a few weeks
ago. On this occasion Mr.. Chipchase,
who as the amateur champion OF the
Cumberland and Westmoreland style
of wrestling is almost as well known
by name in this country as he is in
England, made many attempts to over
come Mr.. Barton-Wright's defense, all
of which were unsuccessful. By way
of experiment Mr.. Chipchase was al
lowed to seize him by one leg to prove
whether, with this advantage, he could
tip him over backwards. But, incredi-
BILE as it may seem, Mr.. Barton-Wright
apparently without the slightest eXer-
tion threw his opponent at once and
disengaged himself. Then he stood
with both feet together and allowed

ey, but had any amount of confidence
in himself. He rented an office at $3.50
a year and waited few days for eli
ents, but they didn't come. Then he
went out to a mining camp that was
about to organize as a town. After he
had been there three days he was elect
ed alcade or mayor of the new town of
Marysville. His office carried with it
certain judicial powers, and the first
cases he tried were in the camp store,
sitting on dry-goods boxes. 1t was a
small beginning, but Field progressed
rapidly. He was returned member of
the first Legislature of California, later
was elected member of the Supreme
Court of the State, succeeding almost
Immediately to the chief justiceship.
which office he held until 1868, when
Abraham Lincoln appointed him a JUS
tice of the Supreme Court of the United
States. He retired Dec. /, 1897, having
broken the record for length of service
by one day. His decisions were seldom
questioned, and were always marked
by profound knowledge of equity and
law. During his career he wrote sew
eral thousand decisions, and by his su-
perior intelligence in legal affairs.
amounting almost to genius, won the
admiration of the legal profession
throughout the world.
