Last Saturday morning his mind be-
came clouded, and then DR.. Frank Bill
lings and DIR. Charles P. Small, his at
tending physicians, Informed the pa
tent that he had but very few more
days to live. With indomitable reso-
luton the dying educator occupied his
lucid and quiet moments in arranging
his and the university's affairs, and in
planning the details of his funeral.
In the death of DR.. Harper the Uni
versity Of Chicago, the great city of
which that institution has for years
been the pride, the whole educational
world of America and the cause Of dis
interested, earnest scholarship have
sustained a severe loss. DR.. Harper
was wonderful organizer and admin
istratOr, and his achievements in that
capacity have had ample recognition.
But he was also a true educator; he
had passion for his profession and
for learning, and his ambition was to
make the University of Chicago not
merely one of the biggest but one of
the noblest, loftiest and most genuine
seats Of culture.

~ MILES OF BUILDINGS.
Value of Chicago Structures Erected
in 1905 Is $62,OOO,OOO,

The equivalent of over forty-seyen
miles of buildings, single frontage, cost
ing approximately $62,OOO,OOO-a record
exceeding only by the phenomenal activ-
1ty of 1892, the year preceding the
worlds falr-represents the colossal
building operations in Chicago during
the past year. The real estate transac-
lions of the year, with a total Of APP
proximately $140,O0O,0OO, also exceeded
those of any year since 1892. Consider
ing all the circumstances, this record is
probably the most remarkable in the
history OF the city and testifes to it's
phenomenal growth and prosperity.
While Astounding in interesting details,
there is probably no other feature of
the years building operations of 80 strik-
Ing and suggestive a character as that
covering apartment house or fiat con-
structlon. This has been on an unpre-
cedentedly large scale. For 1904 the
total reached $14 1888, 900, as compared
with $7,O30,300 for 1903, breaking all
previous records. The figures for this
year, estimating the last half of Deem
Der, show the enormous total of SOL
SO9,90O, counting only permits of S.. 600
and upward It should be said that in
cluded in this are buildings containing
both flats and stores, but these cut a
comparatively small figure in the total
These figures are fairly staggering in
their magnitude. But when it is said
that the total residence construction,
counting only permits above $4,000,
amounts to $2,S49,60O, some idea may
be had of the rapidity with which Chi
cago is becoming great city of flats.
1t also serves to suggest the rapidity
with which the city is growing. For
despite all these new buildings, builders
and agents having them in charge report
that they are being filled as soon as COM
pleted. The fact that rents generally are
being well maintained would seem to
confirm this,

WAR SEEMS NEAR.
Believed in Washington that Ger
many and France VIII Fight.


many and France viii Fight.
Germanys attitude in the Morocco
question and the demands her repre-
sentatives will make at the coming IN
ternational conference at Algeciras
will, it is feared in Washington diplo-
matte circles here, lead to war be-
tween the empire and France, unless
mediation induces the Kaiser to moder-
ate his views. France undetermined, it
is said, not to allow Germany to inter-
fere with her plans in Morocco and
will resent by force of arms, if neces-
sary, any such interference
That Germany's attitude on the
question has been anticipated by
France is believed in diplomatic and
army circles. The recent activity in
the French army, explained by that
nation as "mere maneuyers incident to
a change in the head of the war de-
partment," it is thought proves this
belief. The French army is now in
a high state of excellence and there is
a considerable element in the republic
that is willing to undertake a test of
strength with the Kaiser if driven to
it by Germany's ayowed intention of
encroaching upon the rights Of France
in Morocco.
Apparently German opinion is not
little disturbed by the way events are
shaping. There are two sides to the
question in that country, the one which
is expressed in the tranquilizing state
ments of the Kaiser's New Years
speech to his generals, and the other
by Prince Won Buelow's illusions to
"perils and unfathomable abysses:"
It is pointed out here that the Kai-
ser counts himself more of a soldier
than of diplomatist. In his diplo-
matte contests he has always met dis
appointment. He has not yet tried his
military prowess. His army is larger
by million men than when he came
to the throne and he has been able to
keep it at the Won Moltke level of eff
cheney. He regards his navy as the
equal of any in the world save Eng
lands. In addition, he is pushing to
rapid completion naval construction
that will cost more than $60O,O0O,OOO.
A suggestive development in the
question has been the recent order for
$50,0O0,000 worth Of cars, capable of
transporting troops, and his proviso
that the cars must be rushed to COM
pletion. This and the massing of troops
along the French frontier is taken as
significant that, despite his words of
peace and infinite palaver, he is ready
| for the worst if he cannot secure the
settlement of the Moroccan question as
| he desires it.

Deacon Davis at Conway ana ne se.ul
ed a position in a general store ~ Tvs
field. Mass, where he served an appren-
ticeship of four years in the mercan,ne
business. He was q years OLD Dy tniS
time and he decided to change his oolii
ellie TO the West, and Chicago was the
noint he settled upon for future opera
tions. He worked four years Tor Coo
lev Wadsworth & Co., where he hfsC
annlied for a position. His duties were
not of an eleyating character, but whlle
in his humble position he became ae-
ouainted with Levi z. Letter, anothef
ambitious young fellow, and shoulder TO
shoulder they started in the battle Ior
supremacy in the mercantile Worid.
His employers evidently recognized
eenius in his originality and daring, and
after four years service IN looo flelo
was first identified with the business
fortunes of Chicago. when he was mace
a partner in the firm, which at that time
was Cooley, Farwell & Co. Later the
firms name was changed to FarWell,
Field & Co. The war followed and the
firm melted large profits, and 1t was at
that time Fields savings became nu-
cleus of his later fortune In lSbo,
after the war, the firm reorganized, anu
the new firm existed under the name OF
Field. Letter & Palmer, the members
being, besides Marshall Field. Levi H.
Letter and Potter Palmer. The latter
withdrew from the mercantile business
two years later, leaving the firm Field,
Letter g. Co., which for fourteen years
fiourished, until the firm was the best
and most favorably known OF any mer-
camille house in the West.
1t was in 1881 that Letter withdrew
from the firm and left Marshall Field
the sole proprietor of the mammoth re-
tail and wholesale business, which he
proceeded to build unto an institution
immensely larger and more perfect than
that controlled by the two. Since 1851
the establishments have been operated
by Marshall Field & Co., and for quar-
ter of a century the company, which has
been practically Marshall Field and all
direction his, has been branching out,
purchasing new frontage, charging and
improving, until the establishment is to-
day recognized as one of the world S
greatest mercantile houses. This in
brief, is the history of Marshall Fields
remarkable progress from obscurity and
incompetence to the height of wealth
and proficiency, the most successful mer-
chant of the age.
While it would appear that the bur-
dens of the greatest retail and, next to
one, the greatest wholesale house in
America would be immense, Marshall
cid interested himself in many enter
prises and was the directing force in
immense business institutions.

FORTUNE OF OVER 1925, 900, goo.
Marshall Fields Wealth Invested
in All Parts of the World.

Marshall Fields Wealth Invested
i'm All Parts of the World.
Although any valuation placed ON the
fortune of Marshall Field would neces-
sarily be speculative, it is the consensus
among Chicago business men that his
property holdings represent at least
$125 100000. Mr. Field made it the rule
of his earlier business life never to give
a note. His real estate holdings in Cook
county alone are assessed at a full valu-
alton around $30,000,000 and it is fig
ured by real estate experts that they are
worth close to $40,00O,0OO. He was the
largest taxpayer in Cook county and had
held that distinction for years. More
over, he was reputed to be the most
cheerful taxpayer in the county. Tax
officials say he never complained of the
assessment of his property.
Mr.. Fields dry goods business is sup
posed to be worth $25,000,00O, although
this is a mere estimate. He owned sew
enteen stores and factories in America
and Europe and his Chicago establish
ment is the largest and most complete
dry goods house in the world. Il IS sup
posed to be worth $1O,000,000. He own
ed real estate in many States as we'll as
in foreign countries and his stock hold
ings were large.
Two years ago it is said Mr.. Field
held $15,000,000 of common and S1O.-
100000 of preferred stock in the United
States Steel Corporation, of which he
was director. At present market
values this stock would be worth around
SIT 100000. He owned S5.OOOOOO of
stock in the Pullman company, of which
he was director. This stock is suppos-
ed to be worth So 100000. He also had
81, 100000 of preferred stock in the Chi
cago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad
Company, supposed to be worth $4,000
600, and, according to gossip, had
100000 of st. Paul stock. He also
was a large stakeholder in the Chica go
and Northwestern Railway Company.
the Erie, Union Pacific and New York
Central. The aggregate of his holdings
i'll these companies is estimated at S1O.-
100000.
MIR. Field owned great tracts of land
IN Australia and large manufacturing
plant there for the production of yarns
and Woolens. He was a stakeholder in
the American Wooden Company and had
an interest in the Amory Cotton Com
pany, which owns a score of cotton mills
IN New England. His wooden and cot
ton investments are roughly estimated at
S5,O0O,0OO. So vast and varied were Mr..
Fields interests that the general bust
ness puDlc had no adequate idea Of his
possessions.
Mr.. Field was rated as the second
richest man in the United States, being
ranked only by John ID. Rockefeller. YET
he never was ostentatious in his living
and at no time in his career craved no.
torlety. On the contrary, there appears
to have been studied effort on his part
to avoid publicity.

Marshall Field, the merchant prince
Of Chicago, died at the Holland House
in New York, Tuesday, as a result OF
pneumonia which developed from a
cold. The best efforts of the physi-
clans to prolong his life were unavail-
ing. Mrs. Field, who accompanied
him from Chicago, and other relatives
were with him when the end came.
Monday all hope was abandoned and
Mr.. Field was thought to be dying all
through the morning and early after
noon, but he rallied at 8 o'clock,
awoke from his state of coma, and
asked for food. His improvement con-
tinued during the night, and raised a
feeting hope that he might survive.
Relatives of Mr.. Field were hastily
summoned by telegraph when it be-
came known that he was near death.

been released from attendance at the
