GEN. WHEELER HAD MANY
 FRIENDS IN WASHINGTON.

Washington, January 25.-(Specal)- J. The greatest regret was expressed in Washington over the death of Gen. Joe Wheeler. Eighteen years of his life were spent here as member of Congress, and naturally he made many friends, who had every hope that his illness would not prove fatal.
 Few more industrious members have been sent to Congress by a constituency than General Wheeler. Few men con tributed more to the Congressional Rec ord than he. Always a democrat but more an American, he was not always in line with his party. but on the question of patriotism was never found wanting.
 The late President Mckinley had the greatest admiration for General Wheeler, and admiration shared in no small degree by the present occupant of the White House. When the American troops sailed for Santiago President Mckinley let it be known that he desired General Wheeler to take command of the American forces in case General Shafter should for any cause relinquish command. President Mo Kinley had the utmost confidence in him, and in the Mckinley administration no guest received a heartier welcome at the White House than the General.

portant bearing on the career of the fu- ture merchant prince Marshall Field was then about 15. His father decided to abandon the old farm and buy what was known as the Davidson homestead on the new road. He did so and turned the new farm over to his son Chandler, accepting a mortgage as security and re- tiring from the active pursuit of farm ing.
 The sale of the old homestead and the leasing of the new property to the elder son practically disinherited Marshall Field. A family conference was held and it was decided that he should become merchant. That led to his apprenticeship to the deacon, who subsequently told MT. Field ST., that his son would never make merchant, and the hardships which he endured under that taskmaster only whetted his appetite for the struggle with the world. At length the eagle could be no longer confined in it's narrow cage. He required wider limits, and with that characteristic confidence in himself to which was united the most sensitive modesty the young man came west to try things for himself. He entered the serv- ice of the firm of Cooley, Farwell & Co. as clerk, and there laid the foundations which have served for the erection of the splendid edifce which he leaves to the world.
 ''I remember Marshall Field as mem Der of the firm of Cooley. Farwell X Co.,. said Judge Kohlsaat. "He was one Of the most modest, retiring. self-effacins young men with whom I was ever ac- quafnted. He gave no promise Of the immense latent possibilities of his nature. But there was an elusive something In his nature which defied analysis. l re- member stating even during his youth,

ARE HER MANNERS BApa
American Woman But Slowly Acqulr-
 ing Graces of UnseIfishness.

From Harper's Bazar.
 Are American women's manners dete- riorating? Is the question asked by a writer.
 Tt is to be feared" says the writer that the new independence of woman may in some cases tend to produce ag gressive manners. There is so much hu- man nature in us all that the possession Of new power tends to infiate our vanity and to make us selfish. The newly arrived immigrant is so delighted with his rights that he forgets to respect those of other people, After time he learns better; the true meaning of citizenship in a re- public becomes clear to him. Our Ameri- can woman is rapidly learning her lesson, too. She Is saying we more and more, r less and less. When she has learned to include men as we'll as women under the we she will stand at the head of the
 D." npperess has perhaps been re- tarded by the deluge of praise unwisely
 ..iyn Ht4.
 As women take part more and more In charitable and public works, they realize what man have accomplished. They see the difficulties in the path of the reformer and become more humble The careless or aggressive manners of certain women represent only a halfway stage Tn the development of the modern Eve. When she reaches higher plane these shoulo pass away. The Ideal of American ire Implies the responsibility of each and all for the public welfare. This principie Is ever at the root of all rude oenavior. She who Is truly interested in promoting the happiness and well-being Of her couh- trymen will have the politeness or the heart. She will remember that good manners are made up of petty sacri- dces.'"

BURTON JONES GETS TRIAL AS PITCHER Manager Vaughan Gives Ten nesSee Lad a Chance ONE PESSIMIST LOCATED Nothing Definite Relative to Complete Lne-up Possible for Two
 Weeks or More
 Yet.
ONE PESSIMIST LOCATED

Manager Vaughan yesterday announced that he had decided to give Burton Jones. the shelbyvllle twirler, a trial on the Birmingham club this season. A letter to that effect was forwarded to the Tennes- see lad last evening. and today the hills and dales of his state should resound with the glad aecaims of Burton and his friends.
 Manager Vaughan yesterday succeeded in locating the first pessimist of the sea- son. The young fellow in question has not yet reached the knocker stage but he is distinctly pessimlstic. having grown so because of his Inability to properly gather the meaning of certain signs and omens relative to several players destined to represent Birmingham this summer He is being given an opportunity to reform by the big manager, who is somewhat glad of the chance to exercise himself in that direction.
 There was little out of routine mat ters discussed yesterday by Vaughan and his eoterie of confdants No news of any importance developed during the morning, nor did the postman bring in any infor- nation of a fresh grade. Something is expected to turn up within the next few days. however.
 1t will be two weeks or more before any well-founded statements can be made relative to the full lineup of the Coal Barons, notwithstanding the preliminary features. Correspondence by mall con sumes time, and when several letters each way have to be exchanged, two weeks is a small length of time. By February 15 the fans ought to know almost to man just what players Manager Vaughan has signed, where they are from, and what they have done in the past. In the meantime the fans must be patient and accept the few small items of news that drift out of the office between the cracks and erevices

ANECDOTES OF FIELD.
Stories of His Boyhood Experience on
 Farm and in Store.

From the Chicago Chronicle
 A characteristic anecdote of MT. Field and one Illustrating the surprises which he continually kept in store for his friends and, it may be said his business rivals is told by Director French of the Art institute We never knew just where Mir. Field stood. We knew that his heart was with us all the time and that his purse strings were open. We revered him as the only surviving foun- der of our institute, but for years and years we saw little of him. Last spring we were calling the usual meeting of di- rectors to order when in walked MT. Field, suave, urbane. democratic and evil dently hugely enjoying the furore his long desired presence caused. Twice he treated us to that welcome surprise. It was a testimony to the soundness of the man. He resented the fact that some one had accused him of being lukewarm in art matters and took that characteris- tic way of showing it.'
 Another instance of the Field tempera- ment is afforded by an incident of his early boyhood. One day the village road commissioners decided to abandon the road which led by the Field homestead. They thought new road with lighter curves would be better. The Field fac ton. headed by a few farmers on the old road. protested in vain against the action of the commissioners.
 The event, seemingly trivial, had an im-

make his mark upon the community. His hard New England common sense was softened by a keenness of insight, or, # you will, imagination, which was some thing almost akin to genius.
 As 8 youth Marshall Field was noted for his athletic tendencies. He was ai- most always the choice for "fox" in the paper chases of his native community ot Conway and few indeed were the times when the trailing hounds succeed ed in overtaking him. One of his early playmates was William c. Whitney who later was Secretary of the Navy. then known as "Bill.' Marshall Field was also an invetevate hunter and fisher as a boy and many were the belts of coon and wildcat which fell to his gun. He was also an expert shot of winged fowl and every autumn would find him waiting for the southward flight of wild geese. He killed his first deer at Cricket Hill. although he often related that the slay- ing was an accident, as he had most affiicting case of buck ague" at the time.

 Most modern heroines are married wo- men, whereas the nice ones in Shake speare and in novels before 1890, were almost always unwedded maids. You like Beatrice and Portia. and above all things, Rosalind You do not lose your heart to Lady Macbeth (though a fine figure of a woman). and you do not desire to compete rith Othello in the affections of Desde- mona. This may be a too nice morality but 10 Victorian tastes even widows in novels, a least, come under the ban of the elder Mr. Weller Nobody but Colo mel Esmond ever cared for Lady Castle wood. and Dobbin Is alone in his passion for Amelia.
