ADDRESS ON EUGENE FIELD.
Major Sylvester's Recollections of His
Newspaper Work.

A largely attended meeting Of the Mis-
sCuri Club was held Saturday evening in
its hall at 719 9Th street northwest. The
speaker of the occasion was Maj. Richard
Sylvester, superintendent of the police de-
pertinent An entertaining program OF
musical and literary selections was also
given and the latter part Of the evening
was spent in dancing.
His acquaintance with Eugene Field was
spoken of by Major Sylvester. The latter
conducted a country newspaper near st.
Louis when Field was in newspaper work
in that city He recalled many incidents
humorous and otherwise, in which Field
figured.
Those were the days" he said, when
Field ran with the boys and politics were
rife. He never failed to take advantage Of
the opportunities offered him to ridicule
the local politicians in his daily writings.
But Eugene Field was more than humor-
list, he was a charitable man and good
friend, and it was as a friend that knew
him."
