Match Details of Costume

The fashion of matching every part
of ones costume is being carried to
the extreme limit this season. The hat
must mach more exactly than ever,
and many women buy white straw
braid and have it dyed to the desired
tone. Milliners will have the straw
dyed for their customers if desired.
Grin and horsehair braids are easy to
color, but some of the straws are very

wears ago and Mr.. Field made it his
business to see that the lad had
chance to prove himself worthy.
Marshall Fields career has not been
accumulated by acts of colossal be-
nevoIence such as have trumpeted
around the world the deeds OF some
rich men, but he has already built for
himself more enduring memory in the
hearts of all honest mankind He
stands today as the most noteworthy
incarnation of mercantile probity. He
is neither a Napoleon of finance on the
one hand nor a Garfield at winning the
love of his fellows on the other. He
is sagacious, even shrewd, and pru-
dent, He is liberal, broad minded and
thouehtful. His chief characteristic,
however, is his beautiful exemplihca-
ton of the gentleman, the true gentle
man, in business life. He is liberal,
too, some of his gifts being the mil
lion dollar Columbian museum, the land
upon which Chicago university is built
and a beautiful public library for his
native town. His private benefGctlonS
are believed to be larger than those OF
any man in America, but he insists up
on silence.
Marshall Field was born in 1885 at
Conway, Mass. His father was farm
er, but Marshall made up his mind that
he would prefer to be a merchant When
he was in his early teens he went to
Pittsfield and began the dry goods
business as clerk, remaining there for
four years. Then he went to Chicago
and entered a store in that city, serv-
ing as clerk for another four years.
After that he was taken into the firm
and continued with it until the great
| fire, which left him almost stranded.
But he had made powerful friends.
and they came to his assistance. He
resumed business and was shortly on
the hfghroad to prosperity. At the
present time his estate is reputed to
reach the hundred million mark. Mrs.
Field is the daughter of Robert Scott
of Ironton, o. Both of their children
a son and a daughter-are married.
The Fields are members of the Pres
byterian church.

In Japan and also in those foreign
quarters where actual fact is current
the chief credit for the empires re-
markable financial integrity is given to
single man-Baron Kentaro Kaneko
LII. D.. He it is who has been foremost
in the business of rearing the splendid
fabric of national stability which is
Japan's most valuable possession.
Other minds and other geniuses have
planned and carried out the cunning
tactics that have resulted so auspi-
ciously for the glory of the empire, but
Kaneko and his associates in the
financial administration of the country
have made it all possible.
Years ago-long before the busy
world knew aught of it-Japan fore
saw the quarrel that was being forced
upon her and began the systematic
preparation that has since enabled her
to wrest victory from power reputed-
ly so great that all the world stood in
awe of it. First of all, the government
and its advisers began to look about
for money. The finances of the coun-
try were sound. 1t had never been
found difficult to raise money sufficient
for administrative expenses. It was
also a fact that the Japanese adminis-
trative. organization was so effective
that those expenses could be cut down
very materially for an indefinite time.
The surplus could be used for extraor-
binary pHrposes-say war-without at
all Gripping the government. The
monetary system had been made so
sound that the only care that remain
ed was to provide means for the un-
usual in case it should happen.
/ That meant the marketing of the
| empires good financial standing 1t
must be taken to the center where
money was most abundant and ex-
/ changed in the form of bonds. There
was a great discussion among the
financial experts at Tokyo as to where
that desirable market might be found.
Most of them were in favor of seek
T ing financial backing in England. ia
pan had long been a good customer of
the Elswick Shipbuilding company, and

of the Japanese promise to pay and
had found it extremely palatable. 1t
was argued that the prospective issue
of bonds would sell readily in London.
! Baron Kaneko held the same opinion,

The latest move of the company has
been to close a deal with the Americana
Hawaiian Steamship company for the
transportation of all the business of
the company between Atlantic and Pa
cific ports over the railroad In ac-
cordance with this agreement the
steamship company has ordered two
new ships of 1900 tons each from the
Union Iron works of San Francisco.
These steamers are to have a speed of
twelve and a half knots and will burn
oil, as do all the vessels of the line It
is promised that these ships will be the
most up to date vessels afioat. It will
be remembered in this connection that
the famous warship Oregon, which
made an unparalleled record for speed,
was built by this firm of San Francisco
shipwrights.
There will be a triangular service of
oil burning ships between Salina Cruz,
San Francisco. and Hawaiian ports. It
is 1850 miles from Salina Cruz to San
Francisco and from San Francisco to
Honolulu 1850 miles, making the Cali
forIlia metropolis a halfway port. 1t
is 3,400 miles from Honolulu to SaIina
Cruz direct. The vessels that carry
sugar from Honolulu to Salina Cruz
will load with merchandise from the
United States as a return cargo, call
ing at San Francisco to ship local
cargoes for the Hawaiian Islands. At
present this company is sending it's
ships through the strait of Magellan,
and the new route will be an immense
saving in time and distance. The new
route will reduce the distance be-
tween New Orleans and San Francisco
to 5000 miles as against the $500
miles by the present Panama route.
No doubt it will be patronized extern
sively by transatlantic shippers

he had become one of Japan's most

agriculture and commerce and minister
of justice. He is an intimate personal
friend of Prince Fushimi and has served

Kaneko was better acquainted with
the United States than were most of
his countryInen. He had been gradu-
ated from an American school and had
kept himself informed upon American
affairs He was convinced that the
United States was friendly to Japan,
and he knew that there was an. album
dance of money in the cities of the new
world awaiting profitable investment.
He believed that once convinced of the
soundness of the investment a loan
could be f1oated through American
banking houses. He advocated the
propriety of securing two friendly
creditors instead of one.
At first he was overruled. The in
itfaI loan was intrusted to English capt.
talfsts for negotiation. The soundness
of his judgment became apparent al
most immediately. The United States
took half of the loan and continued to
take at least an equal share of every
loan erected subsequently through the
empires London agents. Finally the
Japanese made up their minds that it
was more profitable to deal directly
with an American syndicate in dis
posing of their bonds. Kaneko is prac-
tically responsible for their change of
opinion. England and the United States
entered into fierce competition to Sc
speedily from per cent to 4. Each
succeeding issue of bonds was ne
gotiated on even better terms than its
predecessor. The customs receipts Of
the ports of the empire were given as
security, and in spite of the war they

edged securities both in America and
| in England. The last war loan, for
$50 .000, 900, was divided between
America and England. Before the day
of issue the United States had SUBJ
scribed for S525, 600 900 worth of bonds
and England for $75O.o0o,o0o. The cred-
! it of Japan is apparently higher now
than it was before she incurred her
war indebtedness

suit the Mexican government entered
into a partnership contract with Pear
son & Sons of London, and the new
company assumed the title of the Ma
tional Railroad Company of Tehuante-
pee.
With a working capital of 100000
furnished by the Mexican government
work was begun at once. That was in
1898. and the enterprise has been prose-
cuted with such energy that it has been
practically finished in seven years. BY
the terms of the contract the Pearson
company is to manage the line for fifty
years. receiving 3715 per cent of the
net proceeds for thirty-five years and
26 per cent thereafter. The entire
length of the roadbed, 1872 miles, was
rebuilt, so that now the track is as
smooth running as any on the con-
tinent. All the old makeshift bridges
of the former line were demolished, and
new steel structures of the most mod
ern design were put up. So irregular
is the surface of the. country over
which the line passes that no less than
800 steel bridges and stone culverts
were required. Owing to the possi-
bility of seismic disturbances all of
these structures had to be very care
fully built.
The engineering difficulties of the
line were great, but the improvements
at the terminal ports presented still
more perplexing problems A brief
