MARSHALL FIELDS WILL.
Document DispOses of Estate Recis-
Oned mt Over S1OO,OOO,O 200.

oheu ONer TIOO,OOO,OOO.
Marshall Fields last will and testa-
mcnt, embracing two codicils and dispos.
ing Of an 0rtate reckoned as beyond the
value Of S1CO,00O,O00, was filed for pro-
bate in Chicago Wednesday. The docu-
ment, which contains upward of 22OOO
words, was attested in Chicago and bears
date of Feb. %, 1904. After making spe-
cific bequests of $25, ,29S,000, the testator
provides that the residue of the estate
go to his grandchildren, Marshall Field
III. and Henry Field, IL and 10 years
old, respectively. They are the children
of the late Marshall Field, Jr. To the
widow is left the Field residence and con-
tents, worth upward of $2,000,OO0, and
$10O0,000 in addition. In this connection
it is said that Mr.. Field MADE large
marriage settlement.
The daughter, Mrs. Ethel Field Beatty
Of England, Is to receive the benefit of a
trust fund of $6,OOO,OOO and life IN
terest in $1,0O0OO0 was set apart for the
widow of Marshall Field III. Gwendolyn
Field, the granddaughter, now 3 years
old, has $1,0O0,0O0 left in trust for her.
The Field Museum of Natural History
will get $SO00,0O0 and four local chari-
ties are left $4,000 each. Scattering
millions are left to relatives, old en-
ployes and to few friends.
The great magnitude of the inheritance
which falls to the grandsons Of Mr.. Field
may be noted from the fact that young
Marshall Field is TO receive three-fifths
and Henry Field two-fifths of the residue
OF the estate and in addition the benefit
of trust fund of $5,000,O00. Thus they
practically now are worth anywhere from
$35,000,OO0 to $50,000,0OO each.

A special from Lowell, Mass, says that
several persons are thought to have lost
their lives and more than twenty injured
in q fire which partly destroyed the Rich
ardson hotel, one of the leading public
houses in that city. The Richardson hotel
is moderate-sized structure of brick and
is four stories high. When the flremen
reached the scene the flames had pene-
trated to several of the floors and dense
smoke was issuing from the windows
to which many of the guests in the up
per part of the structure had fed to cs-
cape suffocation. The firemen and police
rescued many guests, twenty or more of
whom had been injured. The iiremen re-
ported that they had seen halfdozen
bodies of women on the fourth floor.

WRECK OF THE vALsNciA.Nss
Disaster Adds Another Tragedy to
tho Annnls of the Sen.


the Annals of the Sen.
The wreck Of the steamer Valencia
off the west coast Of Vancouver island
adds to the annals Of the sea tragedy
that will long be remembered. All
but fifteen of the $50 persons on board
were drowned. The loss Of life was
not so great as that in number of
wrecks Of similar character, but the
peculiarly dramatic and cruel circum-
stances Of the disaster heighten its
horrors. As in the case of many i'll
fated vessels wrecked in that vicinity,
the Valencia, steering by dead reckon
ing in n fog, got off its course and
struck reef, Threatened with sink
ing, the captain chose to hurl his ship
against the coast, which at this point
Is preclpitous wall OF rock.
From an early hour Tuesday morn
ing until sometime Wednesday the
mon and women huddled on the deck
of the Valencia confronted the pros
pect. OF almost certain death with dry
land and safely lying apparently al
most within stones throw. The
heavy sea which kept pounding the
vessel against the rocks prevented the
use of lifeboats, those lowered being
beaten to pieces against the side of
the ship. Two sailors managed to
gain the shore and climbed up the
cliff for some distance, only to reach
point wrere they could neither pro-
ceed nor retreat. AS they were below
hlgh-water mark, this added horror,
enacted before the eyes of the passen-
gers, showed the hopelessness of es-
cape in that direction. Even the ves-
sells which were sent to make n be-
lated attempt at rescue succeeded only
in raising false hopes.
Various reasons are advanced for
the fact that the Valencia was out of
its course. The fog, the difficulties Of
navigating the channel leading into
Juan de Fuca strait, and the powerful
ocean currents doubtless combined to
deceive the navigators and bring the
ship into danger. 1t remains to be
seen whether measure of RESPONSE

adian government for its failure to
maintain lights and bell buoys and
other protective devices on a treacher-
GUS shore which has >lused the de-
structlon of fifty-siX vessels and the
loss of III lives within forty years.
At least the absence of coast guards
and lines of communication seems to
have been responsible for the long in
terval that elapsed before news of the
vessels predicament reached the near
est port and an attempt at rescue was
made possible.
The deadly "west coast of Van
couver island Is one of the worlds
most famous marine graveyards. In
forty years fifty-six vessels and I'll
lives have been lost, all within a few
miles of the scene of the wreck of the
Valencia. In addition to the Valencia
the King David and Pass of Melford
have been wrecked in the past month.
With the King David seven lives were
lost, while twenty-six perished on the
Pass Of Milford. In the last forty
years the following wrecks, in which
more than ten lives were lost. have
occurred on the same coast:

FINEST TROUT IN THE WORLD
Found in Small Stream In the High
Sierras, Says Expert.

The finest trout in the world, says
DR.. Barton w. Evermann of the bu-
reau of fisheries, is to be found in a
little stream of the high Sierras in
southern California called Volcano
creek. The trout is named the golden
trout" and in beauty of coloring
gameness and delicacy of flavor it has
no equal.
So far as is known, it exists only
in this stream, which is about 20
miles in length. President Roosevelt
recently called attention of the bureau
of fisheries to this unique specimen,
with the result that Dr. Evermann was
sent to California to study its habits
and environment and to see whether
it might not be introduced elsewhere.
He reports that the trout is in dan
ger of determination and that fishing
in the stream must be prohibited by
the state of California for three years
if the trout is to be saved. DR.. Ever
mann has also recommended that the
bureau of fisheries undertake the ar
tificial propagation of the trout and
cooperate with the state of California
in transplating it to number of bar
rem streams that can be easily
reached.-National Geographic Maya

WILL AGAIN BUY SILVER.
For the First Time I'm Thirteen
Years the Government VIII
Purchase the White Metal.

Washington, D. c. = For the first
time in thirteen years the govern
ment announced Thursday its purpose
to purchase silver for coinage purpos-
es Tenders are invited at the Office
of the director of the mint in this
city on Wednesday, the Is instant, up
to l o'clock p. M, and every Wednes-
day thereafter until further notice.
The stock in the treasury had be-
come so low that. it was apparent.
according to the department, that the
demands of constantly enlarging
trade could not be met without addi-
tional coinage. The secretary of the
treasury was in doubt wherther exist
ing statutes authorized him to buy any
bullion for this purpose, and, more
over, was of the opinion that it
would be better policy to meet fu-
ture demands for subsidiary coin by
the recoinage of silver dollars in the
treasury Congress. however. having
failed to act upon his recommended
ton, Secretary Shaw requested an
opinion from the attorney general as
to his authority to purchase bullion
for this purpose under existing law,
and he received a favorable reply,
based on section 1926 of the Revised
Statutes. The policy now announced
was accordingly determined upon.
The last purchase under the act of
1890 made on October 30, 1893, was
at 72 cents per ounce. From that
date until the present the government
has been out of the market for the
purchase of silver except as the
agents of the Philippine government
in the purchase of Is 1-2 million oun-
ces, costing s7,376,995 or an average
of 1854 1-2 The lowest prices for
silver was touched on December 3,
1902, when the price on the London
market was equivalent to S.047S per
fine ounce; the average for last year
on the London market was 81 cents
per ounce and for the month of July
last &C cents per ounce.

Worlds Cotton Consumption.

The consumption of cotton from
1893 to 1898 averaged only 100000
bales annually in the whole world, but
from 1898 to 1903 the average was TO-
6S4,146 bales annually, and the aver
age price was three cents per pound
greater than for the previous period.
If the consumption increases at the
same ratio during the next five year
period the average will be nearly 49,
O00, 900 bales annually, and the prices
will be much higher than in the pre-
vious period. This indicates a pros
porous future for the cotton producer
and manufacturer, as well as for the
