Albert ID. Winfield.

County Clerk Albert D. Winfield OF
Passaic county died at his residence in
Paterson on Tuesday night in the seth
year of his age. His death was the re-
suit of complication of diseases. Mr..
Winfield has for many years been one
of the summer colony at Lake Hopat-
cong. Four years ago he married an
aunt of Sheriff Baker. Mr.. Winfield was
of hearty and genial disposition, and
it is safe to say that no resident of Pater-
son, aside from the late Carrot A. Ho-
bart, had the warm friendship of the
people to the extent that the deceased
had.
The fact that in 1896, when the Re-
publicans carried Passaic county by
over 1000. Mr. Winfield was elected to
the clerkship on the Democratic ticket
by majority of over 1000, was ample
proof of his popularity.
The funeral services will be held to-
morrow afternoon at o'clock from
the Church of the Redeemer in Paterson.
He will be inferred with Masonic cere-
monies.

Freebooter Wickham of the Passaic
county board was present and related
the manner in which Assembly Bill No.
15S was defeated. He referred to the
excellent work done by the legislative
committee of the Morris County Board
of Chosen Freeholders and said that
without their assistance the bill might
have been passed.
Freebooter g. A. Becker said that as
the builders who were to meet the
Court House Committee and discuss the
building of new Jail failed to keep
their appointment, he would be unable
to make his final report until the May
meeting of the board, which will occur
on the first day of the month, when the
annual reports will be made.

NOT MANY WEST POINTERS.

Of the thirty-three general officers
now at the top of the army only six are
graduates of the Military Academy, and
of the twenty-five generals of the line,
the commanders of actual fighting
forces, only three had the advantages of
West Point education. At the present
time the army organization is headed by
one acknowledgement, six major gener
ais of the line and one major-general of
the staff, none of whom are graduates of
the Military Academy They are Miles,
Brooke, Otis, Young, Chaffee, MacAr-
thur, Wheaton and Corbin. There are
fifteen brigadier-generals of the line
Wade, Merriam, Ludlow, Bates John
CO., Davis, Sumner, Wood, Hall, Hughes,
Randall, Kobbe, nGrant, Bell. Smith and
Funston. OF these Ludlow, Hall, Grant
and Bell are West Pointers. There are
ten brigadiers in the Inspector
General Breckenridge, Judge Advocate
General Lieber, Quartermaster- General
Ludington, Commissary General Wes-
ton, Surgeon General Sternberg, Pay
master-General Bates (Alfred e., Chief
of Engineers Wilson, Chief of Ordnance
Burlington, Chief Signal Officer Greedy
and Chief of the Record Division Aims
worth. OF these ten only three-Bates,
Burlington and Wilson-came out of
West Point and in the cases of Wilson
and Burlington there is no alternative
under the law, which stipulates that
West Point men shall be at the head of
the Engineer Corps and the Ordnance
Bureau. In fact, none but West Point
graduates become members of these
corps, and it naturally follows that their
chiefs must be graduates of the Military
Academy
