Chief Justice Field Dead.

Chief Justice Walhripge A. Field, who was
born in Springfield, Vt April 26, 1888, died
at his home in Boston Saturday night afte r
an illness of six months from valvular heart
disease, complicated by serious kidney
trouble.
Judge Field was reared in Springfield and
at the age of % was graduated from Dart
mouth college, and began the study of law,
which he completed at the Harvard law
school and in the Office of Harvey Jewell, a
man OF considerable political, professional
and social prominence. He was admitted to
the bar in 1860 and continued to practices I'M
I'll 1860, when he was successfully elected as
sistant United States district attorney for
Massachusetts, and assistant attorney general
of the Uuited States.
He was appointed to the bench of the su-
preme court by Governor Long in 1881, and
was one of the justices who tried the famous
MRS 6oblnson poisoning case, in company
with Judge Knowlton. He had resigned his
judgeship recently.
In appearance Mr.. Chief Justice Field was
OF commanding height but not of command
ing figure. There was nothing in his manner
or look to particularly attract attention His
wellshaped head. however, indicated
strength of character and intellectual ability.
AND such were among his qualities, for he
possessed special gifts of the highest kind
and an admirable balance of all his faculties.
he was one of those men who were person
ally less known than many whose regulations
are OF lesser span. He was man of ideas,
though, and was particularly we'll booked on
the subject of cranks. He said once that
this country had more cranka to the square
inch than any other civilized country in the
world, and that one-half of them should he in
an insane asylum.
Mr.. Field was one of the only three gradu.
ates OF Dartmouth college who were marked
perfect in all their courses. He graduated in
1888. The other two were Rufus Choate
(lSls) and Prot. John N. Putnam (l843).
;, Judge Field was married in 1869 to Eliza
K. McLoon, who died in March, 1877. and bv
whom he has two daughters, Eleanor Louise
and Elizabeth Lentball. In October, 1882,
Judge Field was married to Frances K !,

A Fowl Event.

When the fowls get in the garden
The man is in stew
He puifs and fumes and cusses
Till the air is black and blue.
With sticks aud stones he pelts the birds
And wishes they were dead,
And mentally he then resolves
To sell off every head.
When the fowls get in the garden,
The woman takes it cool
No rushing, fussiug, cussing,
No actions like a fool;
Picks up her apron-so,
Gives IL shake-saYs "shool" and out
The guilty culprits go.-Windsor Journal.

The interviewer asked what, in that
case, would happen to Mercier.
"Oh," replied Esterhazy, "Msrcie1

miserable traitor Of Jew, and that
will only be the beginning of the

the volksraad not only determined tc
